This is a group to discuss your favorite cult classics and unknown films that should be cult classics. These films are often brilliant yet under appreciated, or on the other end of the spectrum are films that are so bad they're great.
It's a fact that both television and movies are more than willing to jump all over a type or genre when someone makes one massive hit with it. A few cases in point.
For television:ER, CSI, Survivor, West Wing, Judge Judy, 90210
For Movies: Spide...
I don't do many discussions, but I feel this is an important one.

Be it chaos,imperium or Xenos come and join.
We, the members and mildly psychotic patrons of Spill.com, love our opinions. We love to share them, we love to exchange them, we love to read the opinions of other about that medium that brought us together: movies. Within moments of ANY infomati...

Profile Information
- Hometown:
- St. Louis
- About Me:
- Man how times have changed. I am now married. MARRIED!! What the blue fuck? 35, living with my asian stars and skies. Jesus, poetry? And bad poetry....oy vay.
- All Time Favorite Movies:
- Wow, hope this has enough space. Ok, Star Wars Originals, Princess Bride, Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Truman Show, Dark City, City of Lost Children, American Psycho, Donnie Darko, Ghostbusters, Die Hard series, Indiana Jones series, Lord of the Rings series, Akira, Nausicca of the Valley of the Winds, Ri-ki-oh, and so on. Look, I tend to like sci-fi, fantasy and anime...and it'd take way too damn long to mouth them all. So how about i just let you know if a movie pisses me off enough to skin the cast with potato peelers, eh?
- All Time Worst Movies:
- Roger Corman films, all of them. Romantic Comedies (we should make them against the law). Disney, period. Battlefield Earth. Catwoman. Gigli. Aragon. TV Stephen King movies/series. My BIGGEST pet peeve is movies based on other people's work that the director didn't bother to look at and just made up their own story. You hear me Joel? One dark day I will hunt your ass down, stick a shotgun like the Big Black Cock of Death down your throat and blow your brains down to Thailand!! Bang, baby.
- Favorite Actors or Actresses:
- Hugo Weaving, Harrison Ford, Kate Blancet,...and I forget the rest...ah well, they got paid.
I love this movie, and this riff KICKS ASS!

Hmmm....way off base there my friend. Her name is "Kipi" and she is a professional model from Japan. Google image her or check out her profile on the web, and i think you will change your mind about her gender.I love John Carpenter's Vampires because the humor just comes out of nowhere.

Now, it's sort of torn between two groups. The first is those that love the movies (Fans) and those that just watched them to see a movie (non-fans). And as the years go by, the gap between the two will just get bigger and bigger. =/
As far as both Liz and Jo? Well, wasn't really a fan of them both. Yet, in a way I sort of agree that Jo was a bit to "Bubbleheaded" for me too.
He really was more of fussy old fart sometimes wasn't he. He always struck me as that "Old school" grandfather that just had to be "right" even when he was wrong and couldn't adapt to new situations. Which is funny, because that's how my Grandfather really was like.
Troughton -- I like his free spirit, but sometimes it seemed a bit "distant" too. Which is sad because he really wasn't that way when you see him over time. It's something hard to talk about Troughton because of the "clown" part to the character. It's something that a lot of people either find endearing or don't really like.
Pertwee: -- Pertwee is possibly my 3rd fav. Behind Baker and Davidson. Personally, I loved that this was the first sign of a "hardnosed" doctor that was going to fight for what he believed in, sometimes even to the point of "Damn the cost, this is RIGHT" attitude from time to time.
Baker: -- THE ONE AND ONLY DOCTOR. By far, Baker's my personal favorite over all. And I love his "era" because of those wonderful characters (Romona and K-9 etc,etc) and I still think his stories were some of the best.
Davidson--- While I like Davidson's "Youthful Doctor", in a way I think that he's the one that really did have to put up with the most "Crap" behind the scenes. Different writers, different BBC bosses, Different "Social times"... but, for what he HAD to work with, he did a good job. And it seemed right that the actor played a "youthful" character because you sort of felt sorry that he seemed to be "over his head" in a lot of ways.
Colin:-- Still my least favorite, simply because of the way he was handled BY the BBC. Seriously, I don't think they ever really gave him a "Fair chance", and it showed in the series and the storylines he had to do.
McCoy -- I think that McCoy's run would be better if it wasn't for the fact that he came across as so manipulitive. Don't get me wrong, I DID like that they showed a more "darker/dangerous" side to the Doctor that hadn't been there before, but why did he have to be SO much that way? In this case, it's a "little bit goes a long way", and while I did like his "later" stuff over his "early" stuff, I think they went a little "overboard" to make the changes with the character more than the stories. But, I liked him more than I liked Colin for sure.
Mann:-- Really, this is a hard one for me to "overtly" bash. I LOVE that he kept the franchise going in PRINT. But when it came to "on screen" repensentation, I couldn't stand that damn movie. Mann's run was REALLY hurt by the movie, and he was another guy that never got a "Fair chance" on screen. However, when you start to talk "In Print" material, he really was well-handled. Just a shame the "in print" guys weren't the people that put together the "screen time". lol
Eccleston -- Yeah, he was wasted only doing ONE season. But he said repeatedly that he wanted to get the series on TV "up and going", and had only wanted to do one season all along. BUT, in a way that's also good because it DID allow us to explore new concepts of having a new Doctor, new Format, new Production, and the "passing on to the next regeneration" was going to be there no matter what else changes. Plus, in a way, it DOES work to his favor because it makes his one season so great. Especially how he reacts to the Dalek's return... BRILLIANTLY written.
Tennant-- Boy, I don't know. Granted, he's NOT my personal Favorite (Tom Baker will always be number one to me). I have to admit that I can see WHY Tennant's era has BEEN popular. Granted, a lot of that is Tennant himself doing a great job. But like you said, I think a lot of that has to do also with the stories he's had. I mean, come on... Blink was just AMAZING, and Rose's departure was so damn emotional. And then to turn around and get Donna in the TARDIS? How wonderful was that? But, Tennant's also had some really GOOD people all along, and they'll get to be more "upfront" with Russell T.Davis leaving. I have faith in Moffett, which puts us up to.....
The new guy --- really don't know about HIM at all. But, in a way I didn't know about Davison, he did good... Didn't know about Baker, and he was perfect, and didn't even really know about Tennant, and he did good too. But, for me (Or at least in my opinion) the new "kid" could be another great Doctor ONLY IF the production behind the scenes (writers, effects, producers...etc,etc) can keep up their works. I'm willing to hold off and give him a "chance" before I say anything. But, I have to admit I'm worried how his ability as an ACTOR will be enough to carry on the name "Doctor".
Now, personally....
I hope you will enjoy the next few blogs. They'll seem to be "all over the place", but in a way they will not. I'm currently working on "companion" only blog. And I got one lined up for Daleks, Cybermen, Master because those will always be the "top dogs" for villains. But UNIT may get their own blog, people INSIDE UNIT might get their own blog, even if mentioned in "companion" blog. It's going to be a good time down memory lane with a lot of things I want to put out there.=)
Who was part of the old guard? Every time I read that I had odd images of people in armour. But yeah, perhaps a group dedicated to discussing film, cinema and genre in a serious way would be great but that would only work if people were in fact interested in reading and discussing these topics. I dunno how many are. You've been around longer than me though so I suppose you'd have a better idea regarding that. But yeah, I'm with you on that completely.
