Dude has an obsession


With the end of the world. Takes a sick person to devote an entire career to that one theme. Especially when 99% are bad movies nobody remembers.

Shit-tier opinion

I saw Indepedence Day and thought it was vastly overrated but reasonably entertaining. Then I saw that awful Godzilla '98. One of the worst movies I'd ever seen. I knew Emmerich was a hack after that. I have never seen a film by him since and I know that I'm missing nothing.

'Stargate' was the only one he did I thought had a decent original idea, and James Spader is kind of entertaining in it...Spader also thought the script was silly and admitted he only did it for the money

I saw Stargate when it came out because in those days I was a huge fan of James Spader from his performance in "sex, lies, and videotape". As sci-fi, I thought it was pretty good at the time.
