I post very quickly and rarely proofread, which often times results in my original intent and message being lost. I have removed "cheap" from the post. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!!<BR/>:)Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04226586812403198620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17283063.post-1170350463746122122007-02-01T09:21:00.000-08:002007-02-01T09:21:00.000-08:00I agree with you except for:"Sure, it doesn't look...I agree with you except for:<BR/><BR/>"Sure, it doesn't look like cheap 60s FX any longer...."<BR/><BR/>Cheap?<BR/><BR/>The 60's effects weren't ALL cheap. Ok.. there's paper mache rocks and blinking superimposed lights, but whatchagonna do in the days before CGI...<BR/><BR/>When you want to talk cheap... ask Roger Corman...<BR/><BR/>Look at Ed Wood<BR/><BR/>Or Sid & Marty Krofft... The Lost Saucer comes to mind.<BR/><BR/>And worst of all was Space Mutiny (1988) where the effects were just lifted from the Battlestar Galactica television show. That's not only cheap, but shameless.<BR/><BR/>The Star Trek team did pretty darned good for TV.<BR/><BR/>They said, "Let there be models"... and they built models and we saw the models (sometimes the same ones - turned upside down in a later episode)... and they were good.<BR/><BR/>But yeah... I agree with you. If your going to change the effects out - don't just throw in some cheap effects out of a box.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030800657694643304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17283063.post-1170323872922154442007-02-01T01:57:00.000-08:002007-02-01T01:57:00.000-08:00DULL !
