"Superman Returns is the ultimate metrosexual hero and just like emo and other kinda types, it disappeared from the society."

Man, I loved those books. And the movie, while not great, at least set the stage for what could have been ridiculously dark and awesome 2nd and 3rd chapters... I like to think that in a parallel world somewhere (heh), these movies are available on blu.

For a fair number of these, I seem to remember hearing them called "flops" at the time because of how poorly they were critically received, regardless of final receipts. Also, the "opening weekend" factor plays a HUGE role in public and media perception of a movie's success or failure; take the new Sherlock Holmes…

Paradise Lost has been put on hold???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It could be the massive arial battle from ROTJ, but with ANGELS!!!!! How can this not get made???

Love. This. Movie.

I strongly second these questions, and would love an answer, especially wrt the gauge boson mass inquiry.

While I'm 99% in agreement with the sentiment that people in glass houses etc, etc..., what exactly do you mean by "The US is hardly a template for responsible use of nuclear power" ?

"We dream in order to ease our painful memories."

I've never wanted a movie to be good as badly as I want Man of Steel to be, and succeed. Because the alternative... I feel like we could use a Superman presence in popular culture these days, beyond the comics and I don't mean another 30 year olds-playing-teens-playing-superhero venture. The character needs a win,…

Agree. Thing that kills me is Marvel brings back Bucky at the same time DC decides to un-dead Jason Todd... Both characters that it was thought sacrilege to bring back. Marvel does it so well the character develops a huge fan base of his own and even was made Captain America for a while... DC botches it so badly the…

Not at all. Read the issue! Or just ask around, it's much better than I'd hoped.

Please God let there be sex in the afterlife!!! I have a sneaking suspicion if there IS sex, it's totally vanilla.

I'd pay $30 to watch a 2 hour movie of this in the theatre. Several times.

Sigh, yeah the F-35 is one of those design decisions that I totally understand from a fiscal POV, but man does it bug the hell out of me from an engineering POV.

Ahhh the X-29. The FSW design made it nimble as all hell, but also a little wobbly for mid-air refueling if memory serves, not that that ever stopped the F-117 "Wobblin' Goblin" herself. I do wonder what becomes of these planes like the X-29, X-31 and 32, and my long lost love the YF-23... I want to believe they're…

Ohhhh yes. I loved that plane... it was like the beautiful daughter of the F-117 and the F-15. It was also clearly the superior plane during the ATF trials, but they went with the F-22 mostly for the thrust-vectoring, which of course is less than useless in an age where we engage the enemy over 50 NM away, and…

Umm... Condom much? They usually don't inspect it.

"But what happens when we no longer need people to work?"

Completely agree; the other factor that Blue Gene is not simulating, but is of questionable significance within cognitive science, is the role of electromagnetic fields produced by the firing of neurons themselves, and the feedback influence that those fields have on neighboring neurons in either increasing or…

Hell to the Freaking Yes! The Wing Commander series of games, even including Wing Commander: Prophecy, were bleeding amazing. I can't think of another series that sucked my middle-school aged self into the story and the characters, while providing all the flight-sim alien-blasting fun I could contain.
