Have you heard of the tv show the thunderbirds?
Here is a quote from Roger Ebert "I quote Rooney because I had never heard of the series and, let's face it, neither have you.”

Yep, people are trying to get me to go, and I'm like "No it's shit".

I don't remember a show called The Thunderbirds, but I do remember Thunderbirds. [/pedantic bastard]

So everytime a film comes along that was never a TV series at all or that he watched, this guy presumably writes it off.

Ben Kinglsey as the Hood is a masterstroke haha.

Captain Scarlet was better. S.I.G!

From what I've seen he does look like a good Hood.

I actually prefered Captain Scarlet too.
The Mysteron's were such great villians (even if it was just a torch).

Stingray used to usually send me to sleep, and I never really saw Joe 90 and Fireball XL5.
Is that them all covered?

Its a British show, so no wonder North Americans for the most part haven't heard of it.

Yeah, that was an old show from the 60s or some shit with marrionettes. It was awesome when I was 10. The movie looks retarded. And it won't do well because the audience it's aimed at hasn''t seen the show.

I remember seeing a few episodes on the Scifi Channel when I was like 12. It was hilarious because of the puppets

StingRay was better than Thunderbirds.

I assume the remake is live action?

I bet that sucks then
