When the first season came out I was kind of turned off by how similar to the American Office it is, what with it being created by the same people and all, but they came into their own in season 2, and like with any show, once you like the characters you overlook some of the stylistic annoyances like shaky cam.

You've never met a comic fanboy? I'd argue both fanbases are equally venomous when it comes to change.

Was I Robot the tipping points for you? Wild Wild West was the beginning of the end for me. Then he went into sequel mode with Men in Black 2 and Bad Boys 2 and I was done.

The Great Depression only affected a couple of generations of Americans. The internet will continue to affect endless generations world-wide. Until the Sun EMPs our ass.

I hope they publish an essay about the Q*bert nightmares they have after passing out.

I'd consider myself a Nintendo fan, I guess, but they sure do have a long line of councils that both introduce revolutionary things to the video game industry while at the same time staying stagnantly stuck two steps behind their competitors. It's really amazing to watch.

Back when I watched anime I couldn't stand the silly lengths that the English dubs went to match the lips, so I preferred the original Japanese tracks. I recently read through the Akira comics so I thought I'd give the movie a watch, the re-release with the new voice actors. They changed dialogue so much, to match the…

With one of those babies you wouldn't even have to actually play the games, just holding it will increase your hipster status points by 100 stache-hairs.

Did you know these eyePhones are phones too?

Is sociopath the right word?

If it's one thing I've been clamoring for it's hours of aimless, directionless sailing.... in HD! My 10 year wait is over.

I think it was a good movie too. But to me it felt like every decision they made was a wind-up. They make you believe they were about to reveal one thing only to reveal something entirely different, which was really apparent with the whole convoluted origin of the Xenomorph, but also with the ship crashing and David…

I was pretty thrown by the Xenomorph's origin because it seemed so arbitrary. The black goop created two very different lines of mutation and one of those lines (the snake bit) led to nothing and added nothing. Tiny worms crawl around in black goop, they mutate into the snake things, melt the geologist's face, which…

If I remember right in the original script it was LV-426, which would have made Prometheus a direct prequel. There were face huggers within the first 30 minutes and full on Aliens and everything throughout. In the original operating scene she pulls a small Alien out instead of that squidbilly bullshit. I read an…

The original script writer said that change came down from the studio heads. Something about not making a prequel and having Prometheus be it's own franchise.

There needs to be Arnold quotes in Morning Spoilers more often. I enjoy reading them in his voice.

I have to say, that statement wasn't very coherent. As I understand it, the article is 'taking shots' at shit textbooks that claim they're teaching knowledge, not at religion. This particular book just happens to involve religion. As for the 'failure of inner-city public schools to educate minority children", you're…

You know, from a business standpoint I understand why Hollywood is trying to appeal to Chinese audiences, but at the same time I find myself asking "why bother?" Doesn't a foreign movies' charm come from it being heavily rooted in that countries culture? I mean, if China developed it's own version of Hollywood and…

Well, I'm getting my information on this from io9 (the most reputable news source on the internet), and they said it was a permanent change. Hence the outcry. I doubt even fanboys would pitch a fit like this and send in death threats if it were announced as a 12 issue story arch or something. I highly doubt it will…

My point is that good characters and good stories are what sells. Not gimmicks. The idea is neat and all for a storyacrh, but to come out and say it's permanent and Peter Parker is gone forever makes it a stupid comic book selling gimmick. Just like Supermans dead and X-men's Age of Apocalypse and Spider-mans Clone…
