    "Borg sounds Swedish?" (First Contact) Why is it funny?

    I couldn't resist resurrecting this sucker when 'Borg' popped up in a non Star Trek film. By the way, I have an update! I watched another Garbo movie ("Two-Faced Woman", her final one) and in that movie, her surname is actually Borg! So this confirms that Borg really is a plausible Swedish...

    "Borg sounds Swedish?" (First Contact) Why is it funny?

    I'm watching the Swedish silent film "Gösta Berlings saga", and there's a wealthy Swedish residence in it called 'The Borg Estate'. This immediately reminded me of the "Star Trek: First Contact" line, and I decided to look up "Borg" to find out if it really is a Swedish word and Lily was...

    Cult films that BADLY need a remake...

    Well how many directors are going to actually say, "Yeah, I knew I was making a masterpiece with a deep message, so of course I wasn't surprised when people embraced it as such"? It's called "modesty", pal. :p It reminds me of the interview where Woody Allen was asked to name his top five...

    Cult films that BADLY need a remake...

    I agree that most of the appeal of "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" (and all Russ Meyer movies, for that matter) is the sexiness of the women and their bodies, but I still think anyone believing that movie is completely shallow and has nothing going for it besides that is not giving it enough...

    Cult films that BADLY need a remake...

    Yeah, man, I know what kind of a movie it was. Just because it's low budget and features highly sexualized women doesn't automatically make it junk. A movie of any genre can be a masterpiece of its type. I've seen my fair share of campy movies and B-movies and I consider this the best of them. I...

    Cult films that BADLY need a remake...

    :klingon: I certainly hope not. This is one of those movies that was just a perfect coming together of director and cast. Also, part of its appeal is the distinctly 60s aesthetic feel of it (i.e. wardrobe and music). I've seen plenty of the 'prestige' flicks of the 60s and I like this B-movie...

    The greatest film teaser trailers.

    Wow, I didn't remember that one. I still prefer the full trailer, but that's pretty damn cool. Great mysterious trailer to get fans of the property excited about it by giving no clues about what the movie or its cast might look like. At that point you could imagine just about anything.

    X-MEN: FIRST CLASS - Grading+Discussion **SPOILERS!**

    I'm really anxious about this one. I still think "X2: X-Men United" is the best comic book movie so far and this may be the first top notch X-Men movie since that movie. Been waiting a long time for such a movie to come along. It would be nice to have more than one great X-Men flick out there in...

    *sigh* I love "Lower Decks"

    I'm right there with ya. This is one of the few episodes that brings tears to my eyes (the other ones are "The Offspring" and "Darmok"). The part that really gets to me is when Picard makes his announcement at the end. Him using the words "finest example", "remakable courage", and "strength of...

    The greatest film teaser trailers.

    I don't think I'll ever enjoy a trailer as much as the trailer for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". So clever and fun. Pity the movie was rather mediocre. :(

    Movies Seen in 2011

    Wow. I just saw this recently too and I think you're really selling it short. I expected a rather run-of-the-mill gangster movie as you describe it, but thought it was a lot more than that. It is a good gangster movie with the usual stuff you'd expect in those like shootouts, backstabbing...

    Leonard Nimoy Stars in Bruno Mars Video - "The Lazy Song"

    I kind of feel the opposite. I'd never heard of the artist before I saw the link for this video somewhere and became interested because of Nimoy's involvement. I couldn't help but feel some affection for the song because of the way Nimoy's actions seemed to make it funnier. Basically, I feel...

    Opinions on the Alien movies

    "Alien" is deservedly hailed as a masterpiece. A great horror/sci-fi film with an excellent cast of characters beautifully acted, each with their own distinctive and memorable looks and personalities. I especially admired the work on the Ash character played by Ian Holm. The speech he gives...

    Django Unchained--Tarintino's new project

    Really? Now my memory of the movie is a bit fuzzy since I haven't seen it in awhile, but I do recall Smith simulating humping another guy naked in the movie. How could he be okay with that and refuse to do a gay kiss? :lol: I always enjoy Tarantino's movies and I'm sure I would like this new...

    Any Xena:WP fans on the boards?

    I've just started watching this series again (a summer tradition for me!) and after watching the "Pilot", I gotta say one of the worst things in this show is the A.D.R.! I mean when you hear offscreen characters yelling stuff like "Get outta here, Xena!", "We don't trust you!", "Now we got...

    The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

    It's about time to "hit that dusty trail" and wrap up my commandeering of this thread as I've finally finished watching the series. I found the last two episodes a bit limp, but not without their charms. They kind of went the "Seinfeld" route by bringing back a bunch of old guest stars (Pete...

    Watched First Contact again...

    I think the 'bad mood' option is more likely. If you're looking for my professional opinion as forum's counselor: you're nuts. :devil: By now, I'm used to people on this forum coming up with ridiculous reasons to put down this unbelievably perfect movie (plot holes, Borg Queen is a bad idea...

    Drug Songs

    "Geek Stink Breath" by Green Day, which is not (as the music video suggests) about dentistry. :devil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr2T-Rcgq1c "I'm on a mission I made my decision To lead a path of self destruction A slow progression Killing my complexion And it's rotting out my teeth...

    wwe vs tnt anyone watching?

    They've already been doing that for years, ever since the name was changed to "World Wrestling Entertainment". It's annoying as hell when you're watching old matches on newer DVD releases and you see blurs on not only the mics, but also the ring apron (which would have a huge "WWF" logo on it)...

    wwe vs tnt anyone watching?

    I think it's just a joke people are making on the fact that Vince and co. have tried to erase him from their history...just like Thought Police! :devil: I've been waiting a long time for TNA to change their name. I hated the change to World Wrestling Entertainment and I hate the change to just...
