DISQUS

Kangaroo Be Stoned · 3 weeks ago

I would of course say that fans of BSG should buy "The Plan." There are a few flaws but it is still overall pretty solid. Dean Stockwell makes it worth watching. It's actually pretty well written. I think some of the recycling of scenes was simply done because of budgetary reasons. I agree with the CGI point, though. Also, what's wrong with showing male nudity? There is simply not enough in film and TV.

Agreed that Stockwell is good, but I wouldn't go so far as to say the movie is well-written. Did half of the movie have to be repeat footage from the series? A healthy chunk of the new 'planning' footage was fairly obvious stuff and really didn't need to be seen. I did like the Simon (Number Four) stuff since he was shafted throughout the show, but otherwise there's little I feel truly enhanced the series.

And there's nothing wrong with showing male nudity although I'd be lying if I said there should be more in films. My problem here is that Olmos seems to have decided "hey we're making this for straight to dvd, we can be more realistic with our co-ed locker room!" and then went overboard with an over the top and obvious shot of a space shlong.
