Did "Battlestar Galactica 1978" Ownership Lapse Into The Public Domain In The Late 1980's?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Mutiny

Did Universal Studios let this puppy (Battlestar 1978) out of its corporate paws in the late 1980's even if it was for a brief period of time?

Regardless of whatever supposed rational explanation there may be to explain away the fact that...."Battlestar 1978"....footage showed up in a movie not owned by Universal Studios in the late 1980's...the simple fact that it did (and Universal Studios did nothing about it) indicates a lapse of ownership of the...."Battlestar 1978"....footage in the late 1980's....even if that lapse in ownership was temporary.

That means that at the time..."Space Mutiny"...was made...It also means that any other amateur filmmaker(s) at the time also had full access to the..."Battlestar 1978"....footage without having to ask Universal Studios beforehand if they could use it.

It also means even the other major studios at that time (Warner Brothers, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, New Line Cinema) also had full access to the...."Battlestar 1978"....footage without having to ask Universal Studios beforehand if they could use it....without having to pay a nickel to Universal Studios to use it.

Even if the..."Battlestar 1978"....footage had been purchased (rented) momentarily from Universal Studios by the producers of..."Space Mutiny"....in the late 1980's....that in itself would have been unprecedented as well.

"Z Nation"...is a..."Walking Dead"....knock-off without the subtleties of plot and intriguing character development of..."Walking Dead"....

Tonight, The SyFy Channel Reverts Back To Its Usual "General Interest Cable Channel Self" After Being a "Pseudo - Science Fiction Channel" Only 1% Of The Time

http://www.syfy.com

A good movie I guess, I don't know. Maybe I'll buy it at Wal-Mart for $5.00 and check it out.

What a surprise!! It's a Universal Studios release!! (Insert SyFy Channel executives walking five steps across the hallway to extract this non-Science Fiction film from the..."USA Film Vaults"....)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bourne_Ultimatum_(film)


When it's all in-house, your daily job duties are practically non-existent.

Let's cue up the farting, sleeping, and snoring, shall we?

The SyFy Channel Home Page Always Looks Like a "Disorganized Flea Market" With Odds & Ends Not Fitting Together Thrown Everywhere

http://www.syfy.com

What is to be expected when a corporation (NBC-Universal) puts zero thought into purchasing a Science Fiction channel before they purchase it.

Shouldn't a corporation always ask these questions of itself before purchasing a Science Fiction channel?

1. Those of us who work for this corporation, are we Science Fiction fans?
2. Do we know enough about Science Fiction to justify purchasing a Science Fiction channel?
3. Is it a good fit within our corporate portfolio to purchase a Science Fiction channel?
4. Does our corporation..."Fit In"....within the social culture of Science Fiction?

5. Are we always going to be at odds with Science Fiction fans because we don't know shit about running a Science Fiction channel?

6. Are we eventually going to have to convert the Science Fiction channel into a general interest cable channel with no discernible and singular on-air identity because we failed miserably at trying to run the channel as a Science Fiction channel?

7. Do we have enough imagination and inspired thinking to run a Science Fiction channel?

8. Is our operating budget for the channel going to be so low that we'll end up being a garbage dump for crappy B-movies, wrestling, and boring as shit reality programming?
_____________________________________________________________

Let's see now...This is how these questions have been answered by NBC-Universal during the past 16 years based upon its behavior as a corporation....

1. No
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. No
8. Yes

It's always those who are in the thick of it who are the last to realize what miserable failures they really are at what they do for a living. How they command salaries is anyone's educated guess.

"Welfare Joe"....salaries I might add.

If Yawning Is Your Cup of Tea, Then Look No Further Than The Upcoming Boring Releases From Universal Studios

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/studio/chart/?view2=upcoming&view=company&studio=universal.htm

I'm particularly looking forward to..."Jem and The Holograms"...because I have always had an affinity for the badly made live action films of Universal Studios based on cartoons. I collect them...like dog biscuits.

My life changed forever when I saw Universal Studios..."Josie & The Pussycats"...from a decade ago...but not in a good way.

I Got It!! It Was Universal Studios Intent All Along For Animal Lovers To Use The Outer Box of The "Battlestar Definitive Collection" As a "Gerbil Nesting Box"

Since the outer box is so repulsive looking anyway.

"Saga Of a Star World" Without a Doubt, Has The Most Unused And Never Seen Footage Of a Television Pilot In History

Remember in my previous post I stated there was a missing scene of "Starbuck" assisting remaining stranded colonists? And the scene was represented on a..."Topps Bubblegum Card?"....Here it is!! "Starbuck" is either helping these colonists board the refugee ships from a planet surface...or helping them board shuttles for the waiting refugee ships in planet orbit....or helping them board shuttles for immediate transport to the..."Galactica"....

What is "Starbuck" looking at? He's looking at something in yet another deleted scene from..."Saga of a Star World"....

More of Jim Peck as a Caprican newscaster experiencing the same devastation that Serina  (Jane Seymour) did while Caprica was being bombed.

There was more to the Ovion shuttle ride when Apollo, Jolly, and Serina were abducted shortly after Boxey was also abducted. Here they are disembarking.

And moments later they are escorted across that bridge to the Ovion Queen and the waiting Boxey, Boomer, and Starbuck.

Another angle of the group making their way to Queen Lotay's chambers.

More of Starbuck and Apollo in the Gemini Freighter checking on the status of the colony survivors.

More to Starbuck and Athena's scene in the landing bay immediately after Starbuck crash lands.

Bridge personnel monitoring something in this unseen scene from...."Saga of a Star World"....

Moments before Commander Adama announces..."General Quarters".....

How Many Scenes Are Still Missing From "Saga of a Star World" Due To Universal Studios Typical Negligence With The "Battlestar 1978" Series?

Still Missing Scene #1:

Baltar surveying the ruins of the planet Caprica after the Cylon attack. From the way he is dressed and the color of the sky behind him...I would say Baltar is surveying the ruins of Commander Adama's home moments before Adama and Apollo arrived there to mourn the loss of Adama's wife and Apollo's mother. The fact that he is in the ruins of Adama's home immediately after the Cylon attack at all indicates that he had a personal vendetta against Adama in addition to his overall vendetta for selling out the human race. He is observing his handiwork. This could also be moments before the two Cylon Centurions inform him that...."forces have taken prisoners near the Spacedrome"...

Still Missing Scene #2:

Starbuck and Boomer engaging in additional conversation with the Gemini Freighter survivors not seen in the final cut of the film or anywhere else.

Still Missing Scene #3:

Jane Seymour (Serina) wasn't the only colonist newscaster reporting on the signing of the armistice. Actor Jim Peck also did newscasting duties in...."Saga of a Star World".....

Still Missing Scene #4: 

Immediately after crash landing his Viper and being embraced by Athena, Starbuck storms the bridge demanding to know why Adama pulled the Galactica out of battle. Occurs immediately after Omega says..."We're the only surviving Battlestar"....and Tigh replies...."My God"....No visual documentation but known to have been filmed.

Still Missing Scene #5:

On the bridge, immediately after Athena weeps...."They trusted us to protect them and we..." Adama follows Athena and tries to comfort her while removing her tears. 

Still Missing Scene (s) #Numerous

a. An entire subplot involving the Ovion Queen (Queen Lotay) plotting with the Imperious Leader to do away with the humans. No visual documentation but known to have been filmed.

b. A portion of this scene is on the DVD set. Adama discusses his resignation with the council which segues into a discussion of Sire Uri hoarding food which segues into Apollo discussing Carillon and the Nova of Madagon. Filmed in its entirety.

c. Starbuck helping stranded colonists board the escape ships. A scene from this segment known to have been filmed exists on one of the...."Topps Bubblegum Cards"....from 1978.

d. Additional footage of Cylons chasing Apollo, Starbuck, Boomer, Serina, and Boxey across that bridge. Some of it is seen in the...."Remembering Battlestar Galactica"....documentary on the Blu-Ray and DVD sets.

e. Adama announcing...."General Quarters"....interrupting Starbuck's card game.

f. Rigel announcing additional..."Micron Distances"....never heard due to editing cuts. 

g. Footage of buttons being pressed on the bridge moments before Apollo and Zac's Vipers launch.

h. Additional footage of Starbuck and Boomer disembarking from the Landram on Carillon.

It's a safe bet that there is still a good 25 minutes still missing from..."Saga of a Star World."

The question is rhetorical but I'll ask it anyway....What has Universal Studios done with all of this extra footage?

You Mean, The SyFy Channel Hasn't Adopted The "Space Mutiny" Movie As Its "Corporate Mascot" Yet?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Mutiny

This movie has rolled up into one, everything that is wrong with the SyFy Channel. This movie so parallels every fault the SyFy Channel has ever had in attempting Science Fiction it is downright eerie:

1. Misusing the...."Battlestar Galactica"....property by misrepresenting it in a horrible production of bad conception, bad producing, and bad writing. Like how...Ronald D. Moore's..... "GINO" - ("Galactica in Name Only")....series did the same thing. Universal Studios obviously looked the other way when the..."Battlestar 1978"....footage was used in this film. Or perhaps the...."Battlestar 1978"......footage had fallen into the public domain in the late 1980's and Universal Studios didn't give a shit back then just as they never have past, present, and future.

2. A Z Grade, B-Movie that is perhaps the worst movie ever made. Science Fiction or otherwise. Think the SyFy Channel's..."Sharknado"...."Sharktopus"...."Ice Spiders"...."Frankenfish."

3. Bad conception, bad producing, bad writing across the board. The entire repertoire of the SyFy Channel.

4. The SyFy Channel's attempts at Science Fiction which have deserved nothing more than ridicule.

I'm surprised the SyFy Channel doesn't broadcast this little ditty morning, noon, and night till the end of time. It is them in a nutshell.

Its...."Alcoholic Wrestlers Who Love Bi-Polar Attempts At Science Fiction / Fantasy"....Trailer Park Trash...audience....

This group only exists in minuscule numbers but the SyFy Channel sure keeps programming for them as if they fill the planet with overflowing numbers...don't they?

Is Maury Povich..."The Father of The SyFy Channel?".....

Knowing the SyFy Channel it probably is.

Once Again, A Thoroughly Enjoyable Science Fiction / Fantasy Experience Never Came From "NBC-Universal / SyFy Channel"

...It came from..."Warner Brothers".....instead.

The Corporation And Cable Network (NBC-Universal, SyFy) Responsible For Some Of The Worst Movies Ever Made Including "Sharknado"...

http://www.blastr.com/2015-8-17/trank-spielberg-why-do-some-sci-fi-directors-fail-while-others-succeed

....Is passing judgement on those film directors who apparently creatively failed with their movies via a link on the http://www.syfy.com web site??....

Isn't http://www.blastr.com also owned by NBC-Universal?

1. And since when were the two..."Spiderman"....reboot movies failures of some sort? They both did well at the box office, were well received by critics, and some Spidey fans preferred them to the Sam Raimi... "Spiderman".... flicks. So, in what sense does NBC-U / SyFy regard these films as failures?

2. Whether or not..."John Carter"....is a creative failure of some sort is a matter of taste. It's still infinitely better than any piece of crap NBC-Universal / SyFy Channel have ever come up with. This corporation can't even get its shit together after 15 or so years of repeatedly announcing a new..."Battlestar Galactica"....movie via endless fake press releases and actually make one. At least the directors they are criticizing actually made their movies for public consumption.

After the..."15 Year Train Wreck"....that has been the.... "Sci-Fi / SyFy Channel".... under.... "NBC / Comcast / Vivendi's - Universal Studios".... laughable mismanagement of it....The last thing this corporation should want to do at this point is throw stones at anyone from any direction. Especially after..."Pooping Out"....the likes of..."Sharknado"...."Blind Date"....."Maury Povich"...."Wrestling"...."GINO" - (Galactica In Name Only)...."Caprica"...."Z Nation"...."Helix"...."Sciography"...."Haunted Highway"....."Ghost Hunters".....and...."Sharktopus."

I Suspect This Movie In And Of Itself Has Been The Visual And Story Blueprint For Every "Outer Space Themed" Television Series On The SyFy Channel For Years

http://www.syfy.com

The dark jumpsuits...The outer vests usually made of leather....ridiculously over sized weaponry...."The Grim Faced Mission!!".....Inevitable death for at least a quarter of the characters...Some big-boobed..."Hotsy Totsy"....in there somewhere who talks like she has a "Masters Degree in Physics"...but the body of a..."Cheap Tart"....in a strip club. Momentary pauses in the explosions and firefights for some...."Pseudo Psychological Jibber Jabber"....that means absolutely nothing in any language or any realm of thought but the scriptwriter always seems to think otherwise for some indecipherable reason....Hyperkinetic film editing when the firefights start....The leading man who holds it all together psychologically while everyone else around him is going insane. The..."Cheap Tart"....manages to hold her intellect together as well along with the leading man so they both can start breeding together off screen...when the movie ends....while the closing credits are rolling....
