I think that was the pilot for the tv show of the same name. Yes I know, but should that excuse it from these criticisms? Ot could've been a TV series about more action oriented events, but instead it's just a soap opera. And if it was a pilot, why was there made 2 sequels? No excuses made. I think the sequels might be from 2 part episodes. I watched the show when it came out, but don't remember it perfectly. |

Huh, that's so weird that they made movies from TV episodes. I know it's not uncommon to have pilots be feature length movies such as Twin Peaks and Max Headroom, but this is the first time I've seen they made multiple sequels from episodes that aren't compilation movies of the entire series. |

I think there is a Battlestar Galatica movie from the original series. It was a thing in the 70's sometimes.

I remember watching the movie and the show as a kid. I remember the show was better. It was over the top, but I was and always still be a Hulkamaniac. I remember seeing the CD-i game at Electric Avenue in the mall, and I thought that looked completely awesome. I'm glad I was too poor to buy one in retrospect.

A Hulk Hogan movie/TV series video game on the CD-i. All the Hulksters need one. |

I've been thinking cobretti, I'm nearing to complete this list again (before you'll inadvertently update it again). To celebrate that, would you like to get a list to watch of your own made by me? It won't be 50 movies long as I know that would be too much for you. So how about 10 movies? 10 easily accessible movies for you to watch. They'll all be movies I really enjoy and that I think are important enough to share. Do you think you could manage that? I promise not all of them will be older than you are. |

In other words, you won't watch anything without Arnold Stallone in it. |

Watched the Judas Priest concert:
"This is one solid concert. Judas Priest is one of the best metal bands ever, and in this awesome concert they played both my favorite songs from them, Breaking the Law and You've Got Another Thing Coming. While every song in this concert is performed very well and that the track list is fantastic, it does not have all those few extra things that make concerts go from great to legendary. The biggest concerts from Pink Floyd for instance all have lots of extra things that makes those extraordinary. Still, this is highly enjoyable and very solid." 4/5 was pretty good. There's not a whole lot to say about it though as it's a concert.

There's not a whole lot to say about it though as it's a concert. I’m assuming you’re talking about stage show presentation and laser light shows and stuff. That’s a matter of taste I guess. I personally don’t like overblown stage shows as I find them distracting. I saw Metallica on their most recent tour and they had these cubes that had video screens on four sides that would occasionally raise and lower throughout the show. Occasionally they would settle into a spot that would obscure my view. Now that setup, compared to something like a Floyd concert or even something like a Kiss concert with lasers and flames and shit, is retry stripped back and I still didn’t care for it. So at least for me, I like the more bare bones presentation of that Priest show. Go to one now and it’s video screens and flame columns and stuff. |

I totally agree that the performances are what matter the most in a concert, and in that regard I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Judas Priest. They're an absolute class act. It just matters to me when watching a concert in a movie format, it makes them more visually appealing. I'm sure the concert was fantastic if you were there live. |
