Buck Rogers in the 25th and a 3D Century

Growing up nerd, there were a few shows that I loved with a passion and still remember fondly to this day; the original Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Space 1999, The Greatest American Hero, V and of course Buck Rogers in the 25^th Century (Oh, Erin Gray how I miss your skin tight suits).

Battlestar Galatica and Star Trek: TNG will forever be remembered along with the originals. The upcoming V still needs to prove itself, but it has made one hell of a first impression.  The Greatest American Hero may or may not be turned onto a movie, depending on what you read and where you read it, staring Nathan Fillion who’s pushing for it. Space 1999, if remade, will have to have a new name.  Now, from the man that brought us greats like Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil,  DOA, and AVP comes Buck Rogers in the 25^th century.

That’s right; Paul W.S. Anderson has signed on to direct the remake of the classic sci-fi series. Now, I could go off on a rant about how bad Anderson is but then I would be a hypocrite. See, I actually like some of Anderson’s films. While not the greatest film maker by any stretch of the imagination, he has directed a few movies that were enjoyable; Event Horizon, Soldier, Death Race and I’ll even go as far to say the first Resident Evil would have been good, if it wasn’t called Resident Evil. So, it’s pretty much a hit or miss with this guy, and because of that I’m not going to make some assumption that Buck Rogers is going to be bad. People who do that are simply retarded and judgmental. I’ll wait to see the trailer or at least production stills before I start to decide what’s what.

What I do know and what has already been stated is the Anderson will make this movie 3 fucking D, much like what he’s doing with Resident Evil: Afterlife (or Resident Evil: Bastardization). Now, I’m not calling for a boycott, those are just fucking retarded, but I’ve already told myself that I won’t be seeing any more Resident Evil movies in theaters as long as Sony and Anderson hold the titles and keep bastardizing it. Only way to make them stop is to stop seeing the movies. I am willing to give him some benefit of the doubt when it come to Buck Rogers only because I really liked Event Horizon, but what I won’t forgive is 3D. As long as the price is cheaper to see the same movie in 2D, then that’s where you’ll find me.
