This needs a "None of the Above" option.

Are you certain he wasn't the one running the experiment?

I understand completely. I had friends tell me that I would love Perdido Street Station, but I hated it, and swore of Mieville as over-hyped literary pretensions. Then, I had several respected friends recommend The City and The City. I gave it a whirl, and really liked it. It ended up as one of my top books for that…

I approve of your universe, and would like to know if you have any literature about it.

I think it was intentionally left ambiguous, though strongly hinted at that Dr. Rush was basically being a massive jerk to teach Eli a lesson.

When you put it like that, it does almost seem that way. Which is actually kind of frightening.

It's a tragedy. the show could have easily supported a toy line. It was designed along the classic toy line based show aesthetic, if anything the show was designed as a redemption of that kind of show. They went all-out, giving Titan multiple weapons and transformations. This wasn't a failure of Tartakovsky, this was…

That technology is at least 10 years old now. Probably older. It's like, remember when the F-117 was announced in the late 80's/early 90's? Yeah, that first flew in 1977, and was based on a paper from the 1960s.

The whole thing does seem a bit Rube Goldberg, but the freaky thing is that this is actually old technology.

Reminds me of Betrization, the mind-altering process from Stansilaw Lem's novel "Return from the Stars":

Strangely, the one thing that I can't get over is in video 2 around the 5:50 mark. I mean, why the hell did they have a wooden indian statue? It just doesn't make any sense.

Wow. So it's like he Lucas'ed himself in only 3 movies. That's actually quite an accomplishment.

A lot of people bag on Nic Cage and his body of work, but I can't help but forgive the guy his mistakes and missteps. You see, the distinct impression I get is that Cage chooses his films out of a sincere, if somewhat unbalanced love. In short, he thinks he's helping. He wants to see these films get made, and he wants…

@MajorMattMason:

You forgot the scene when a time-travelling bodyguard wrestles and puts him in a head-lock.

... But I already read Murakami and Mieville. Admittedly, I didn't like much of Mievelle's stuff. Felt like he was trying too hard. But I loved "The City and The City", so I guess I'm warming to him. And I've loved Murakami ever since I read "Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" in college. I'd always…

I must say that I disagree with this assessment. I think it doesn't do justice to the film, and in point of fact, I think that one of the main complaints about the film is actually just incorrect.
