1979 Movie, The Black Hole

[JediKnight]

Who was 8 yrs old like me when they saw this movie? I love this movie and was glad it came out on DVD cause now I can enjoy it with my kids. Every review I see hates it! AM I the only HUGE Black Hole fan in the world left? John Barry's score is just awesome to listen to. It might be a bit cheesy and corny, but the fun and memories, and the awesome soundtrack, still keep this as one of my favs of all time, along with Battlestar Galactica and Battle Beyond the Stars.

I loved that movie, although I just whatched once :( . I was 10 or 11. But I think it was one of the best sci-fi I have seen. I think it was even better than Star Wars IV and Tron

Recently I bought the book ! :)

[Matthyahuw]

O MAN! I forgot about this movie, I've seen it a ton of times, it was the shizz back then, I gotta at least rent it!


I was 8 as well...

LOL! looks like we have a bunch of 30 somethings here. I was 8 also but Star Wars blew me away and at that time I was into Battlestar Glatica. I loved that damn robo dog and the hot dog pilot Starbuck. Ever notice when you see them racing through space it is always the same scene?:D Also I'm not sure if it is a good idea to identify your self as a "black hole fan". ;)

I'm a sci-fi freak and I want to see it. :o

[Smokey]

I havent seen it or heard of it, I would have been 3. Do you have any good links to share with us?

Geez, I was 18 when that movie came out. I saw it opening night with my RPG gang. Afterwards we all sat around a Perkins until the wee hours and critiqued the allegory and innuendo. I can remember recognizing references to Dante's Inferno and Neitzche (his last words "more light," as were the villain's).

I may have to get the DVD just to see how full of it we were back then.

Oh yeah, I also remember the robot using his buzz saw on the scientist through the clipboard. That scene was pretty graphic for 1979.

Hehe.... black hole :)

Personally I never really enjoyed it, but someone mentioned Battlestar Galactica, and thats something I do enjoy!...

Right now I have a little "Cylon theme" on my computer at the office.. A Baseship as desktop background, and some Cylon sounds... allways good to hear your computer say "By your Command" in that cool Cylon voice every time you boot up.. :)

[Arrghman]

Ah... I remember The Black Hole. I actually saw it a few months ago on TV, it was nice seeing it again.

Now BSG... I've only seen that in rerun on the Scifi Channel... and I never could stand that show :o

[Matthyahuw]

What about Buck Rogers the series?

"bededededede what's up Buck!?" :D

Erin Gray was a looker back then too! :o

I sooooo had the hots for Erin Gray even when she was on Silver Spoons. I loved the Buck Rogers Movie and the series. I also loved space 1999. I loved that errector set looking space ship. I saw the BSG set up when it first came out at Universal studios. Jaws was also new then ohohohohh and the Bionic Man season premier set we whent through on the tram. You know the one when Steve Austin fought agains that robo bigfoot. We when throught that spinning tunnel. blah blah blah I'm rambling but this post brought back great memories. :rolleyes: @ my self

[Lamentation]

Hell yeah, they need to make a bionic man game, maybe against the fembots and that tank that wouldn't die. Get jamie sommers in there too for co-op play.

Im glad there are others that liked The Black Hole. For those who havent seen it yet, rent or better, buy it, and watch it kicking back with popcorn and soda. Its an awesome movie. I LOVE Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers also. I also have BSG DVD.

For those big "Black Hole" fans like me, here is a cool link to some info on the movie and products. Probably the only link online.

I know a guy who made a 3D recreation of V.I.N.Cent which looks pretty nifty... go to here: http://www.lwg3d.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=7855 if you wanna check it out :)

I always wanted my own personal V.I.N.Cent when I was a kid.

By the way, I saw Erin Gray at a convention this year, and all I can say is that I hope I look that good when I'M 53.

its this the one where the main bad guy gets stuck inside the black hole in the end in some kind of a suit or something? if it is then it was a pretty darn good movie

30 somethings??? I'm 27 and I thought black hole was awesome! :)
Same goes for BSG, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. you get the idea.

[Darth Rancid]

I see someone has dug up this old sci-fi thread.. cool. :)

I have heard rumors of a remaking of Battlestar Galactica, and that Starbuck will be a woman this time around?... anyone know if this is true?..

They better not change the Cylons' voices too much!...

I still have "By your command" as start windows sound and "It will be done, Imperious leader." as shutdown sound.. :)

[thenerdguy]

I like that movie! I have the book too. But im just 20.
