Guest Celt Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Re: Eeep! Buck Rogers!!! Well, it certainly looks more Buck Rogers than that travesty on the siffi channel. OTOH, we've only seen the one element. It's a nice teaser, but I want to see some more meat, not just smell the bacon cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhhh .....to much Praise of Buck Rogers will Wake "She who must not Be Named!" and she'll want her blood money and souls and hence, Ruin anything that could be great and good. Nifty Trailer though, appeals to my Pulp soul. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So..... is this a case of great minds thinking alike, or soft minds running together? I'd rep you if I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Re: Eeep! Buck Rogers!!! Here's the actor on IMBD-- http://us.imdb.com/name/nm1967231/ Looks handsome enough. Obviously I want to see him in costume and playing the character before rendering a verdict. Does it need to be in black-and-white, though? The serials of the 30s and 40s were only in black-and-white because they couldn't afford color film. If they could have, every movie, serial and (later) TV series would have been shot in color, just as they are today. While I don't believe in colorizing films shot in black-and-white, the notion that a movie emulating 30s sci-fi adventure must be shot in black-and-white seems mistaken to me. The science fiction magazines of the time had covers printed in color, sometimes garishly so. As did all the other pulps of the time. The Sunday newspaper comics were printed in color, and again, if they could have afforded it, the daily comics would have been in color as well. Comic books--definitely all in color. And all for a dime. The only reason to shoot in black-and-white these days would be artistic, and to my mind that's the wrong decision for this production. This should be in color.

RexMundi Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Re: Eeep! Buck Rogers!!! Don't care for the "look" of the actor. Little to sissy looking to be a good Buck Rogers in my opinion. Still I'll reserve total judgment until I actually see the product. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranxerox Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Re: Eeep! Buck Rogers!!! The teaser looks incredibly sweet. I just wish it were going to be a movie instead of a web series. Still, I'm definitely going to check it out once they start releasing episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Re: Eeep! Buck Rogers!!! I'm not sure why you think it is B&W; it is in color. It looked like the sky and the clouds were some sort of sepia tone; what color was there seemed quite muted to me. Unless they're postulating soem sort of enviromental disaster, the sky should be blue. Either way it didn't seem like full-color to me.

tkdguy Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Re: Eeep! Buck Rogers!!! The sepia sky makes it look somewhat retro. That seems to be the style they're going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexMundi Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Re: Eeep! Buck Rogers!!! Yeah I get that comic. It's an interesting twist. My only gripe really with Dynamite as a company is that half of each comic is nothing but Add Space. VERY nice approach to Buck Rogers though in that material. Let's you do StarPulp Hero with no issues what so ever. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a clip from the series here-- http://www.screenhead.com/reviews/buck-rogers-online/ We get a bit of his early life here. If the show is as well-written as this one bit, I think it'll be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yansuf Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Re: Eeep! Buck Rogers!!! I don't think that some sort of post-apocalyptic setting is prohibited by canon. I don't know your definition of canon here, but the original was definitely post apocalyptic. The Han had destroyed all other civilizations, and the first two years of the strip were the story (that had been told in the pulp story version) of Buck leading the surviving Americans (who lived in hiding in the forests and mountains for fear of Han airship raids) in over throwing the Han and reestablishing America.
