This is the equivalent to saying "I don't know what all the fuss about the original Nintendo was about. Compared to modern games the graphics are terrible, the sounds are little more than blips and boops and the gameplay is absurdly simple. Why do people still go on about how great retro games are?"

Yeah, you know, I was just thinking. "You know, people have been too nice to Carrie Fisher."

What's weird is he even introduced big status quo changes In Ghost Story that were essentially retconned in the same book. Why even introduce them at that point?

That was the first thing I thought of 'Well what about the first contact war?' But the problem is that's not a really good intro to the universe proper. Anderson/Saren would probably be a bit better (and avoids having to deal heavily with Shepard and still introduce bits like the Reapers) but I dunno.

I actually agree with you, but the topic of the ending is sort of another matter separate from the film adaptation. I will say that if the film went in a TOTALLY different direction, I would not be upset.

You can adapt a book and while you might lose something in the experience, you might gain something as well.

As much as I loved ME, I'm not sure a movie adaptation would be good for anyone. The main story is told (Though I freely admit they're going to have to come up with something for the new franchise). Side stories would be great for ME fans, but it's not just ME fans you're trying to sell to in a film. I'm not wild…

The bite does something different from whatever is reanimating you. It's not a version of the Zombie virus, it's not a cause of the plague, it's just something the zombies do. They bite, they scratch, you die. It's something that happens when you reanimate. And, if the comics are much indication... Only when you…

Actually, Lovecraft is still pretty firmly in 'cult' territory. Most people venerate him for his ideas: I honestly don't see much praise for his actual writing. With admittedly pretty good reason.

Probably a nihilistic big bad hinted to back in Avengers. You know, the guy who's magic macguffin was just hanging around Asgard in their movie?

And what if the battle takes place in a Dungeon!? If the poor little Red Dragon can't take to the skies to avoid damage? What then, sir!?

I want to say something but it's pretty much impossible to comment on almost anything on this photo without spoiling it for someone.

You're not alone in that. I mean, they include the token 'We hurt Sharks more then they hurt us!' but come on, you can't undo 8 hours of gristly retellings of Shark attacks with that little bit at the end. Can we please focus a lliiiiiittle more on these animals and less on how they supposedly all want to kill us…

Elective amputation may be new, but the 'ethical conflict'—that being surgery for largely superficial or 'enhancement' reasons is in no way that novel. Breast augmentation, liposuction, botox injections, facial reconstruction. The list goes on and on. It's slightly 'unique' that some people may want to have an…

Jury's out on Cold Fusion? Uh, the jury came back to that one a couple times. Doesn't work. Zero positive data points. Pretty much any 'positive' was a result of very clear measurement errors. Last I checked, it's pretty firmly in the 'not gonna happen' camp for now.

Oh, you're right. a giant lizard with fiery atomic-laden breath instead of lasers. geeze, how could I make such an error? That is a totally plausible scientific thing that could happen and in no way fantastical or so detatched from reality that it could be found in god damn orbit. Truly it's a harrowingly realistic…

Uh, yes, I did see the original Godzilla film, both the original and the English version that added the 'American Journalist'. It was still pretty camp. It was a GIANT RADIOACTIVE LIZARD. And if memory serves, he still shot lasers in that film. HARDLY what I'd call 'grounded' and 'Nothing sci-fi about that!'

""There's nothing scifi about this movie. It's very grounded, very realistic."

Err, I thought Tiger Sharks were actually in third place. o.O Bull Sharks are actually the first.

Welllllllllllllll...
