Don't do it on my account. That was just my opinion. As far as I know, formatting is welcome on this and all challenges. If anything, it makes the lists less monotonous to read.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Ghost Hunters most definitely counts as sci-fi just like shows on hunting bigfoot and those UFO shows on Discovery or whatever channel they have them on. Documentaries on "real" witches, not fat pasty wiccans that call themselves witches, but witches of the old days, count as sci-fi/fantasy for me.

Thanks, kenbuzz. On to ep2...

I'm counting Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" as a wildcard for a film directed by Ed Wood.

I'm trying to get through the checklist without duplicates. Gonna be difficult to do it and watch some of the stuff I'm wanting to watch.

I had to quit watching Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Just couldn't get into it.

LOVED Warehouse 13 Season 1. Can't wait to watch the eps of Season 2 I've DVR'ed!

And The Fly is incredible. Watched it for the first time in YEARS today!

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

I'm also trying to get through the checklist without duplicates and it is pretty challenging. I've ended up watching a few shows that weren't my first choice but they were available and helped fill a spot. I hope to go back once I've finished the checklist and watch a few things that I wish I could have watched at the beginning. Of course, by doing the checklist I've also found some good movies that I might have never watched.

Doing an Eddie Murphy double feature, the Golden Child and Shrek. Gotta love a challenge that allows the Golden Child.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

is the documentary 'Frank Frazzeta Painting with Fire' eligable or is it a wild card?

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Which one, 1958 or 1986? I'm thinking about doing a Fly marathon and watching all the movies in The Fly box set plus the remake and The Fly II.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Just watched Planet of the Apes for the first time and wow, awesome. I can't believe it took this long to see.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Thre remake with Jeff Goldblum. What a fantastic movie!

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Same here! I also watched Plan 9 yesterday and found myself cursing the checklist maker *shakes fist*

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Can't believe both the IMDB and allmovie don't have a Science Fiction listing for "Class of Nuke 'Em High". Even the back of the case says so and Lloyd Kaufman does not lie.

And sorry if this has already mentioned - there's a block of Sci-fi programming airing on TCM tomorrow starting at 6AM EST:

- The Manster (1962)
- The Killer Shrews (1959)
- The Wild, Wild Planet (1965)
- War of the Planets (1965)
- The Green Slime (1969)
- Soylent Green (1973)
- 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
- 2010 (1984)

Me too! But at least I got to experience it for the first time in HD. In fact, I was even impressed with the grandeur of the production values from the sequels ...especially considering how the budget was dropped considerable for each film.

This post made my day Chad, thanks!

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

It's been a challenge but I am almost through the whole thing - not sure I will ever go through the whole thing again, but I wanted to at least do it once.

Much respect man! dubada dubada Way to go llandros dubada dubada

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

I started the Buck Rogers set last year and only got a couple of episodes in before I put it down. Haven't gotten back to it since though I intended to for this year's challenge. It's one of those shows I have fond memories of from being a kid, but it hasn't managed to hold the same appeal re-watching it now.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Not a bad lineup, thanks for the heads up. Need to get more classics in for this year as so far my list is filled with movies from the past couple years.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

King Kong was on TCM last night. Regrettably, it was not in HD on TCMHD. It looked identical to my DVD but with DNR to remove the grain. I was hoping they were going to preview the Blu-ray transfer.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

As far as Japanese guy-in-a-rubber-suit kaiju go, The Green Slime still holds up pretty well after 41 years, and it has IMO the single greatest theme song ever. I wonder why it has never received a DVD release.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

and???

what about 'Eagle Eye' since we're allowing 'War Games' to be 'scifi'

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Are alternate reality movies considered in the parallel universe subcategory? For instance a movie that has time travel that changes the reality, like the new Star Trek, Back to the Future II or Donnie Darko.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

Close enough.

Wow, Superman Returns was really boring. Never been a fan of him in general but I finally sat through the first one a few months ago and didn't think it was that bad. This was. And it was long.

Re: Summer Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge 10 - Discussion Thread
 

I can't imagine it not counting. He's synonymous with fantasy and sci-fi.
