"VAN HELSING" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."THE HULK" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."CAT IN THE HAT" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."JOSEY & THE PUSSYCATS" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."FLINTSONES" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE....."VIVA: ROCK VEGAS" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."ROCKY & BULLWINKLE" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."HOWARD THE DUCK" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE....."PITCH BLACK" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE....."CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE....."VIRUS" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE.....

WHEN UNIVERSAL STUDIOS CANCELLED ALL OF THE SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMS ON "SCI-FI CHANNEL" AND REPLACED THEM WITH NON-SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMMING, THEY NEGLECTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE NETWORK TO SOMETHING MORE FITTING. "THE HORROR CHANNEL", "THE USA NETWORK FILM VAULT CHANNEL", "THE INFOMERCIAL NETWORK", "THE HORROR/ACTION CHANNEL", OR "THE COMMERCIAL BROADCAST NETWORK" WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE TITLES.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS TRACK RECORD WITH FANTASY MOVIES ISN'T MUCH BETTER. UNIVERSAL STUDIOS USUALLY RUNS INTO PROBLEMS WHEN THEY TRY TO MAKE LIVE ACTION MOVIES BASED ON COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS. THE "HULK" BORED AUDIENCES TO DEATH BARELY 10 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE.....TURNING "VAN HELSING" INTO A SUPERNATURAL "RAMBO" WAS TOO RIDICULOUS FOR WORDS....."CAT IN THE HAT" PROVED THAT 5 YEAR OLD KIDS WEREN'T READY FOR "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" HUMOR......"JOSEY AND THE PUSSYCATS" WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A "CHARLIE'S ANGELS" RETREAD BASED ON A 1970 CARTOON THAT NO ONE REMEMBERED......THE "FLINTSTONES" MOVIES PROVED THAT REBUILDING "BEDROCK" ON A STUDIO BACKLOT WASN'T ENOUGH TO DRAW IN THE FANS OF THE CARTOON.....SOME PROPERTIES SHOULD BE LEFT IN CARTOON FORM, WHICH "ROCKY & BULLWINKLE" PROVED......"HOWARD THE DUCK" WAS GEORGE LUCAS'S FIRST CAREER FLOP. HOW FITTING THAT LUCAS CHOSE UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FOR THAT MOMENTOUS OCCASION......"PITCH BLACK" WAS "PITCH DULL"....."CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK" DISAPPEARED FROM THEATERS FASTER THAN "FINAL FANTASY-THE SPIRITS WITHIN"......AND "VIRUS" PROVED THAT WHEN UNIVERSAL STUDIOS MADE A MOVIE FOR THE SUMMER OF 1999, NO ONE CAME AND WENT TO THE BEACH INSTEAD......

THE MANAGEMENT OF "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS/SCI-FI CHANNEL" IS AN OPENLY HOSTILE REGIME TOWARDS THE VIEWING PUBLIC, SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMMING, AND THE "BATTLESTAR GALACTICA" COPYRIGHT. THE ENDLESS GRAVEYARD OF CANCELLED TELEVISION SHOWS ON "SCI-FI CHANNEL" AS WELL AS UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ENDLESS BOX OFFICE FAILURES INDICATES THAT THIS IS A CORPORATION THAT DELIBERATELY LOST ITS WAY IN MAKING RATIONAL BUSINESS DECISIONS. ONE CAN ALWAYS HOPE FOR MIRACLES, AND THE PERMANENT FINANCIAL DOWNFALL OF "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS/SCI-FI CHANNEL" IS A DREAM SHARED BY MANY.

"Heaven's Gate", "Superman IV", And The "Ron Moore Mini Series."
« on: October 26, 2004, 03:10:13 PM »

February 24, 2004


Ronald D. Moore should be proud of himself. He is now in the ranks of Michael Cimino and Menahem Golan as one of the all time worst, unbankable schmucks in Hollywood. Where do unsuccessful people hang out in Hollywood? The unemployment line with the cast and crew of "Cat In The Hat?"

I wish that I was present during the filming of the Ron Moore mini series. Watching Ron Moore trip all over himself  while studying the production drawings and scripts from Paramount Picture's "Star Trek" franchise would have been a sight to behold. If you tell me that a "Star Trek: Voyager" script was not on the set during the filming of the Ron Moore mini series, I will show you an "elephant with wings."

Ron Moore was the apple of Rick Berman's eye during the golden days of post, original series "Star Trek." You know these golden days, right? The days when Rick Berman had a solid employment future with Paramount Pictures Corp. During this era, it is obvious that Ronald D. Moore accumulated a personal collection of "Star Trek" DVD's, scripts, production drawings, prototype alien sculptures, blueprints, hand props, etc. You know all of this stuff, right? All of the stuff that inspired the Ron Moore mini series. Part of the fun for those who watched the mini series, is PINPOINTING where a "Star Trek" inspired prop showed up. Whether it be a set, prop, plot idea, character idea, etc.

Cylons On A Budget: Put Her In A Cocktail Dress


It took Ronald D. Moore about 30 seconds to think about and solve the budget problem of not being able to rebuild the original Cylon robots from "Battlestar Galactica."  Thinking about the "Seven Of Nine" character from "Star Trek: Voyager", Ron Moore added the extremely CLICHED TWIST of making a "Nympho-Robo-Whore" for the teenage boys in the audience. How many characters like this have we seen in Science Fiction? Or variations on the same? Way too many.

Ronald D. Moore is a LAZY writer. He took every CLICHED ESCAPE ROUTE while writing his mini series. It helped Ron immensely to have Paramount Picture's "Star Trek" franchise as a RESEARCH LIBRARY to draw upon while writing his mini series. It's extremely safe to say that were it not for the existence of "Seven Of Nine", the character of "Six" would not exist either.

Since GINO is on the brink of cancellation, this is especially relevant!!
