Battlestar Galactica

[joeb]

Didn't know where to post this so I thought this might be a good place.

The new Battlestar Galactica tv show on the SciFi channel is running a sort of contest where you can put together a 4 minute video using BG supplied video/sounds/effects. I plan on entering a video but also using the content in a future mansion. I know space based MM aren't very popular but good content is both hard to generate and hard to find and this is a chance at some VERY cool stuff. Here's the link:

Oh my gosh... not that TV show! My eldest brother watches it like crazy. I don't watch it because of the title, it sounds kinda dull. StarGate, that sounds cool, so I watched that! Can't wait till the next Atlantis episode comes out! Or the SG-1 movies they're making to finish off the SG-1 TV series!

This season has been more people centric not as exciting but I'm definitely with you on Stargate Atlantis. Just picked up the season 2 DVD set. I have the first season as well as the pilot on DVD too.
Did you see the original Stargate from 1994 with Kurt Russell and James Spader?

Being a Frank Herbert fan I also like Dune and Children of Dune. Waiting to see if they do God Emperor Dune. The book was so-so but I think it would make a pretty good movie considering CG could make a pretty good combination human/sandworm. We'll see.

But with the content they've made available I can see a Battlestar mansion in the future with cylones, etc. I just got a really cool new robot mesh that looks like a skinny cylon.

But first there's Search for Jack which I've completed the structure for. I wanted to be a little more logical so I laid it out in an Excel speadsheet. I think I might do it as a contest entry but 80 rooms has kind of limited what I wanted to do with it. I may be forced to do a

Directors cut

version with 150 or so rooms.

later dude,

Ever saw.... MacGyver? Staring Richard Dean Anderson? (Person who played General Jack O'neill in StarGate SG-1) I own the first two seasons! I wanna get the next...

[joeb]

Yup, seen McGyver.

FYI I used to do a lot of DV work and got into laserdisc so I have about 400 movies on laser. They stopped making the good stuff on laser or it was more expensive so I've been doing DVD and have a couple of hundred of those too. I LOVE movies!!

ps don't know if you saw I released a quick and dirty version of Helter Skullter. It's in the Free Uploading section.

Hah.... we used to make jokes about that McGyver chap.... how he ALWAYS solved every mystery and mastered every danger by the help of a pocket knife and a match or something else he found in his jeans pockets.  

Oh the 80s......  ;D

Well going a little pre 80's I always thought he should've been named Felix MacGyver because he reminded me of Felix the Cat and his Bag of Tricks:

Felix the Cat
The wonderful, wonderful cat.
Whenever he gets in a fix
He reaches into his Bag of Tricks....

Wow, really showing my age here....

Hehe, there are actually other people here that remember that cat

>yeah, showing the age. And I just FEEL like 18!! :-*

Felix Macgyver? I don't think so... I heard that his name was Angus. I think his granddad said his name in a flash-back in a episode.
