whooooaaaaa....

Unfortunately campy TV shows usually translate to campy movies. Witness Batman, The Avengers, Charlie's Angels. But still... it's so retro... :D

You know, it'd be nice if something came out that wasn't a remake for once.  Looks like it will be... interesting...   Bill Paxton as a Thunderbird... that's funny.  I was never a huge fan of the old series (too dated, and that Orbitz commercial has tainted whatever respect I once had for it) and this looks just too familiar.

Orbitz is making too obvious that the boss guy is gay.  It's really annoying.

Thunderbirds itself was pretty cool, but it was a little too unbelievable that they had a gizmo for any conceivable emergency situation.

We'll see how it turns out.

what the heck?
is that the show with the puppets?
Title: Everyone in here! Now!
Post by: Galemp on December 03, 2003, 10:57:09 pm
Marionettes! The technology they used was quite astounding. Nowadays everything is done with CG, but back in the day they used puppets and models... and while they were not entirely convincing they were so creative that you could marvel at the way they did it.

Whatever turns you on Thunder mate. I drive one of these meself:

And for all you peons who don't know what Thunderbirds is (or think it's a CARTOON [heathens]), click this (http://www.wramrobinson.demon.nl/tb/tbp1.html)

You know what was great about Thunderbirds? They'd build huge, beautifuly detailed building complexes and vehicles, then blow them up. Money well spent I think :D

Thunderbird 2 is pretty cool.
Title: Everyone in here! Now!
Post by: Fineus on December 04, 2003, 12:02:06 pm
Nah, T-Bird 1 and 6 pwned everything else. Although that film clip of Thunderbird 2 landing opposite Big Ben in London looked pretty neat.
Title: Everyone in here! Now!
Post by: magatsu1 on December 04, 2003, 12:07:09 pm
but T2 (and the vehicles it carried) did all the work!
ever see T1 actually rescue anyone ? huh ? huh ?
Title: Everyone in here! Now!
Post by: Flipside on December 04, 2003, 12:28:25 pm
Tbirds was cool, but everytime it's on, it's either the one with the Aeroplane or that bloody one in Space which involves 'The Speed of Heat', which always makes me laugh :)

Flipside :D

T1 was a fighter, it was the only one that was armed.

I liked T'bird 3, it's easy to underestimate it's size though since we never saw very much, but it's gigantic.

Who knows, if TBirds gets a good enough reception - Stingray might be next. It'd certainly leave a lot of room open to make a cool storyline.. we might even get some neat Super Cavitation effects to explain the high speed of the thing ;)

I always thought it was more of a "rapid response vehicle"

TB1 was the recon vehicle. Scott'd get to the scene first and set up his mobile command post so he could liase with local authorities.

Personally, I put Stingray a respectable third. I demand a Captain Scarlet movie.

Captain Scarlet losses points 'cos of that bloody annoying,  mono-tone mysteron voice
"t-h-i-s  i-s  t-h-e  v-o-i-c-e
I mean, does every sentance haved to take about 5 minutes ?
I can't even be bothered to type it all
It's like Daleks, or FS2 Vasudans.

They were invisible. I'm impressed they could speak at all. Not to mention wage war on Earth.
