Actually, the movie was crap, and the acting was crappier. And in the series, the nations were portrayed quite accurately and I'd like to see the same level of detail in the movie - not necessarily with the same race as the original cast, but with the characteristics (Earth people being sturdier, Fire - slender and

I'm always ambiguous about changing estabilished characters into anything. First off, a superhero is not just a mask, it's the alter ego as well. So if you change the alter ago, you warp the story. Second, it's like feeding people scraps - okay, so let people have black version of a superhero, just like in case of

Actually truth is, Spider-man the wrong superhero to be cast as another guy than Parker at all, color or no color. With the other superguys, it's a role anyone can fit. Batman, for example - I can imagine somebody other donning the costume, probably after Bat's death. It's a mask, it's a symbol. But Spiderman is Peter

As a tomboy, who is definitely heterosexual, I get pissed off at these suggestions. Sure, I get that gay people need acknowledgement. But hey, this is just other stereotyping. I took karate lessons, hated dresses and make-up, and until I finally got interested in dating, thus proving my interest in men, my father

As a white person, I must say I can't tell most white people apart either. But that's maybe just my prosopagnosia speaking :D

But sometimes you overdo the processing thing and your memory becomes a clutter of worries. I've found that distracting yourself, like here, does not make me forget them, but makes them smaller and less insurmountable.

It's usually testosterone.

Apparently you can't be a Marvel superhero and just go bald, because, you know, a lot of men go bald. It has to be The Plot.

Actually, I liked that. There's something people forget: the guy is telling his own autobiography to a chronicler. Of course he will twist it, embellish, and elaborate on the fragments that feel important to him. I actually wondered if he really lost his ability to fight, or it's just he does not have that much

Gosh, people are dense.

Card's characters are that way. Little professors and sociopaths, one by another. But I like them anyway.

Oh, I had a kid crush on Mendoza.

...and you're a troll.

I just watched the sweater versions, cute! And it reminded me once again why I like Spider-man. This is like the only superhero I remember complaining about the cold and shivering in his costume (also, the only superhero I remember doing laundry of his costume, and many more endearing details).

All the suspense is built on those details. Which makes it essentially unwatchable for anybody with a degree in science.

Yes, and then tabloids (and even normal newspapers, if there's any left), in general people who don't know what a bell curve is, repeat it ad nauseam, trying to convince me I'm not a woman, while I feel otherwise.

Oh, please. Instant PCR/hybridization in gates? Blood samples for DNA testing when all you need is mucus from inside your cheek? Why constant DNA control - in the real world all would suffice that they do a test on entry and before the mission, then they would just scan their fingerprints or irises. Why test DNA

There are bad habits, too. For example, as a proud 30something specialist, I'm very prone to the occasional bouts of paranoia - if the more social ones aren't planning something to "get me". Any quality that caused me to be bullied, did not vanish over time. At my current job, fortunately, there is no bullying. But

The "geek girl" term bothers me. I'm well past puberty and I am a woman. I think the girlification of geekdom is childish - then again, the whole geek culture is childish, so maybe it has some justification (ponders a while). Then again, in Poland, I'm something of a first geek generation - it all really started in

I did research about the drug I was told about - and okay, I give you that - the drug I was concerned about has a similar name, but it's a different thing.
