I think the non cg effects they did were far more interesting. This level of CG is common place in like, every single movie, whether it be a romantic comedy or an action movie or whatever. But there are some brilliant solutions they came up with to do some of the jumping around stuff that are part of a featurette on…

I'd think trying to chop down zombies from horse back would leave your horse open to attack. You have limited mobility up there as well, so dismounting and first moving the zombies away from you horse makes a lot of sense. Not drawing your sword the second you get off, not so much. Even if we're seeing this out of…

My favorite ones are the ones that suggest I should be more concerned about things that are happening to people I have zero connection with who are on the other side of the world living in a culture I can't relate to or understand while a political debate, which doesn't impact my daily life and of which I can have no…

It's the post literally right before this Morning Spoilers post.

your link lead me down a path to a corner of youtube full of old cereal commercials that I never dreamed would be so good. So thanks.

damn, Frute Brute, where you been all my life?

Nerd rage + anonymity = io9 message board.

Wait.. what? He didn't 'discover' anything. They knew that the Navi and the planet and all that was connected, Ripley 2 talked about it if I remember right. The only thing special about what's-his-nutz was that he was the only outsider that the Navi accepted into their tribe. And that was only cause the chief's…

We don't.

I'm pretty into the Capaldi casting if only because he's an older actor. There's a lot of age discrimination going on pretty much all over when it comes to movies and TV. Like they think they can't sell a story unless it's cast by a bunch of young attractive men and women who are all strong/sexy, and have sex with one…

I'll have to take your word for it. I'm all of 7 episodes into Tennant's run.

I honestly just started getting into Doctor Who. I tried the Eccleston run initially but couldn't handle it and gave up, but then I jumped ahead to the Tennant stuff cause I read it was a fan favorite doctor and I really like it. So I can't speak to much volume about the show's writing so far. Some super cheesy…

Race relations in America are ridiculous compared to literally every other country in the world. And it's perpetrated by both sides of the divide, in my opinion. It's ingrained into our society across the board. Black characters that I've seen on UK shows are rarely depicted with the same insensitivity as they are in…

I'm not entirely familiar with Moffat's writing credentials, but he could just as easily hire a supporting writer. Or Moffat can just not think of the character's race or gender. From what little I've seen of Doctor Who it's not like I've seen the Doctor ever do or say anything that's an exclusively male thing. You…

I don't think I'm making that point at all. But you can't deny that there are more examples where a writer does a lousy job depicting races/genders/religions/cultures/ sexual orientations that they arguably have no experience with or understanding of. That's why there are still so many blatant stereotypes on TV and…

The Public Enemy reference was in regard to the hype comment that the other person made. "Don't believe the hype." Thought that was clear, but I guess I was being... insensitive? Or was I being racist? You tell me, cause I thought I was just making a pop culture reference.

Every time I read about some invented racial TV controversy (ie. Walking Dead), it's always people complaining and demanding there be more 'minority' characters. Or so-and-so is a stereotype and is offensive. Which are fair points in a lot of cases. But why not demand a more diverse writing staff. Or a showrunner who…

A female 007 would be weird. That whole franchise has a very machoism style built into it. Swapping out the Bond Girl for a Bond Boy would be pretty funny to see, though. A female agent who works along side Bond and is actually competent and not a love interest would be sweet though. But again, why not just tell an…

I'm honestly not that big of a Who fan to begin with, I just started getting into the Tennant stuff but nothing else yet. There's just something to be said about expecting a show that's written by white people for a predominately white audience (ignoring any international followings), and calling fowl for them not…
