Sci-Fi Horror Classic Was Once The Worst Film Of All Time
When it was first released, the themes, environment, and solid performance of the actors as defeated men, even before the alien shows up, were overlooked because of the special effects. Roger Ebert wasn’t even as harsh as other critics, and yet his mildly positive review described the film as “The Thing is a great barf-bag movie, all right, but is it any good?” And then later, “The Thing is basically, then, just a geek show, a gross-out movie in which teenagers can dare one another to watch the screen.”
Vincent Canby, writing for The New Yorker at the time, didn’t hold back in his assessment, “Sometimes it looks as if it aspired to be the quintessential moron movie of the 80’s – a virtually storyless feature composed of lots of laboratoryconcocted special effects, with the actors used merely as props to be hacked, slashed, disemboweled and decapitated, finally to be eaten and then regurgitated as – guess what? – more laboratory-concocted special effects.”

The Iconic Sci-Fi Adventure Series You Can't Find Anywhere On Streaming
The series is based on characters created in 1928 by science fiction writer Philip Francis Nowlan, whose novella Armageddon 2419 A.D. later spawned comic strips, a serial film, and early radio and TV shows.
Glen A. Larson and Leslie Stevens eventually adapted Buck Rogers in the 25th Century for network television in the late 1970s as it vied for a share of the ever-growing market of young sci-fi fans.
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century follows its title character half a millennium after he is accidentally frozen. Revived 504 years later, Buck Rogers tries comically to adjust to the social changes of the future, all while helping the Earth Defense Directorate fend off warring factions from the planet Draconian.
Throughout its two-season run, the show featured prominent guest stars and up-and-coming performers, including Markie Post, Richard Moll, Vera Miles, Buster Crabbe, Jerry Orbach, and Sid Haig.

Netflix Sitcom Set In the ‘90s Is A Criminally Underrated Hidden Gem
As great as the setting is, characters are always the most important part of a sitcom, and Derry Girls is no exception.
The core friend group consists of pseudo-intellectual Erin, eccentric Orla, high-strung Clare, party girl Michelle, and group punching bag James are consistently funny characters. It’s also full of character-driven gags, such as James being the only boy at their school, and Orla constantly reading Erin’s diary out loud for her personal enjoyment.
