Any fans of the movie? Just watched it last night after not seein' it in a long while...forgot how good it was.
Always refreshing to see folk travel to a planet millions of miles from Earth, and find inhabitants that DON'T speak English!!!

LOL. Good point!

Did you watch the theatrical, or director's cut? It's been a while since I've watched either myself, but I'm always a sucker for an extended version of a movie (if it's one I enjoy - a longer Kung-Pow would akin to bamboo shards under the fingernails...).

Extended cut, which I had actually never seen before. I think it's really Emmerech's(sp?) best movie. It has all the heart of Independence Day, and none of the dopeyness.

Mmmmm…………………”Stargate”. I LOVE “Stargate” just as much as I love “Firefly” but I love “Firefly” more.

Actually I watched the move a couple of weekends ago after a really long time and remembered how much I love “Stargate” the movie. My Mum and I were like Mmmm would it not be neat to travel around in a flotty pyrimid (SP) or step through a stargate.

Select to view spoiler:

I love the scean where Daniel is like messing with the stargate before he goes through.

I am into the shows, as well, I love the show both SG1 and Atlantis.

Select to view spoiler:

Did anyone see last weeks ending to the show. It was really cute at the end.

You know, I really liked Stargate when I saw it in the theater. Then I really was wowed with the Director's Extended DVD thingy.

So, I thought I would rent the series and watch it. ... Well, its not always a good idea to take a moive and turn it into a tv show.

I was less than impressed, and I watched 3 seasons just to make sure. Just as with the Star Trek offerings, it took til season 3 to get the characters ironed out. (uh, except Enterprise which was doomed from the start due to the network, not the writers)

I gave up.

I couldnt do it.

Then I re-watched Stargate with the commentary. Oh, man! Talk about a slap across the face to those in charge of the tv show.

And, yeah, you are correct. It was very refreshing to find non-english speaking natives elsewhere.

I would have to agree it's his best movie. Much as I hate to admit it, I think his 2nd best was Universal Soldier.

Yeah... I'm weird, but I love watching Jaye Davidson gliding around in that movie. Not as much as I like watching him in "The Crying Game," but almost as much.

i love that movie. i think if it weren't for stargate, the movie, sg1 and atlantis would not have been made.

of course, because of the fantastic casts on them, these stargate series are just marvelous.

i love all of it.

I was lucky enough to see it for the first time on San Antonio's big IMAX screen. It only took up about the middle third of the screen. Still, that's like four times the size of a normal screen. Best part was when they first go through the wormhole. You have no idea how cool that is on a big, BIG movie screen. A few years later, I got to see Titanic on the big damn screen too. That was cool.

Random question: What does Mal mumble (in Chinese?) after Dong Luh Mah at the end of the opening oner of Serenity? He's talking to Simon, say's Dong Luh Mah, turns and keeps talking!

I love the movie, prefer it too SG1, which is still good but hmmm... Atlantis I just can't watch, its what Excalibre was to Babylon 5, a cheap shadowy imitation imho.
