NICE SHOUTOUT TO KINGS! What a great series that was shaping up to be.

Save, Save As: still deadly neighbors.

The first film was better than I expected, the second slightly better than that, but with both I was only moderately entertained. So going into Mockingjay Part 1, especially with hearing some vocal fan-friends of mine hate on the book, I thought it would be a letdown — and ended up being blown away. Simply one of the…

Funny that the Puppies would end up championing Kim Stanley Robinson, who’s work is about as anti-Puppy as anything can be — he wrote a global warming trilogy, the Mars books are expressly anti-corporate, socialist, ecologically sensitive, women-in-leadership role message novels, and as far as his writing goes, not…

they should use this as a script for acting classes.

I’m happy to see even a backhandedly positive Interstellar article on i09. I love i09 and read it every day, but the treatment this site has given this film makes me sad. Scientific accuracy is a pretty weak instrument for judging a film, I think — and as plenty of other io9 favorites fail this test spectacularly, I…

For film, nothing beats Frankenstein - not just the first one, where they change a verbose, philosophical Creature into a mute, sewn-together Monster, but the way the sequels go hilariously off the rails: Bride of Frankenstein opens with Mary Shelley herself reminiscing about how great great her book ‘Frankenstein’…

The reason why (spoiler) Luke turning out to be Vader’s son is powerful and shocking is because it is a manifestation of the theme of Empire; if you don’t believe in yourself, you will fail. Vader is Luke’s self-doubt made real, becoming like him is his greatest fear. Garbage like ‘he’s got a WIFE!’ DA DA DAAAAA! is…

It really is amazing how short sighted Hollywood is; every studio is banking billions of dollars on superhero films being the dominant form of entertainment for the next two decades — when, like everything else, it will become overexposed, and audiences will move on to something else. Westerns dominated the box office…

Just for the syphilis hallucination musical number alone.

I believe that Scott Free has the rights to this; it would make an incredible Netflix event, as would the sequel. This is the best vampire material I’ve read in years; they are truly old-school terrifying.

oh MAN what a fun book this is.

Outside of almost everything in in Gaspar Noe’s Enter the Void being horrifically inappropriate for children, they would respond the the vivid, pulsing colors; maybe the Baby Einstein people should look into this?

Some damn day we’ll get a good version. Some day.

He has always been the villain — the film is a takedown of his arrogant, racist, violent character; Roy Scheider's character Cloudy is the only thing that makes Popeye likable. Cloudy is actually charming and nice, and because he likes Popeye, we cut Popeye slack —but the punch of the film is that it reveals to…

What is consciousness?

I'm a filmmaker in Los Angeles, and have made a zombie short that appeared on io9 called Spoiler, as well as a Planet of the Apes short film. I love sci-fi more than damn near anything, and read it as much as I watch it. Favorite SF recently: the mindblowing Under the Skin and Jeff Vandermeer's Area X books. If David…

So just to be sure I understand the negative comments: Interstellar says that love is a physical aspect of reality; a scientifically measurable thing — that it is NOT not fluffy, crystals-n-unicorns metaphysical stuff.

...and that is WHY Interstellar fluffy crystals-n-unicorns metaphysical stuff.

That's some serious…
