@Steve Williams: Yeah, I assume this must be using some form of utility fog, since not only is there glove-less haptic feedback, but the UI appears to be physically present in the real world.

@CarrerCrytharis: Really? Honestly it looks like a character out of a Dreamworks CG movie. Not uncanny valley to me at all, slightly cute even.

@Winston Smith: Maybe his tissues become something with a much higher strength-to-mass ratio than human tissue? It'd have to anyway, otherwise he'd collapse under his own weight.

@MrGOH: Hell, The Lion King is more disturbing than some R-rated movies.

I own an iPhone, but I'm not an Apple or Mac fan and I love seeing them get taken down a notch; however, this was just a little too obvious. Futurama's contemporary references have in the past either been minor gags (stem cells) or more generalized and less anvilicious (global warming).

You know, if you ignore the music and flashy editing on the trailer and cut to the actual shots, it looks almost identical to the original. Same color palette, similar camera work, and it looks like all the major scenes are in there and set up almost identically.

Well deserved to all; it's a shame Butler and Zelazny didn't live to see it.

@Faustroll: Yes, I think we can all agree that Venture Bros. and Futurama are head and shoulders better than any other English-language animated programming, no need to fight over which is best of the two.

You forgot Gregory Benford's Galactic Center saga, in which the titular galactic center is indeed a black hole, with humans inside it hiding from the machines.

@CptnTomSonic: Oh god. I noticed that film at Blockbuster and the cover image alone scared me so much I've taken pains to never, ever watch it.

@ashwiggins: I think the Golden Compass books are better more because they actually have an overarching plot. Lewis pretty much ran out of good ideas after the first two books. I'm an atheist myself, but I don't see how being inspired by faith or spirituality inherently reduces the quality of fiction.

@Jack B. Quick (jbq): In all seriousness, anyone who thinks Jackman isn't supremely talented hasn't seen The Fountain.

@antonchigurh: I loved it the first time, but it's one of those movies that has so much going on beneath the immediate surface that I love it more each time I watch it.

@Doctor_Memory: All the trailers for that movie were pretty fantastic, if it was the same editor(s) behind them all then definitely.

@Evdor: i.e. Guillermo del Toro?

@Illundiel: Same for me, Prisoner was EASILY the best of the films, but HBP was second. Both films worked because they cut a lot, and thus were able to linger and let us soak in some of the setting's charm instead of zipping from scene to scene in an effort to get every single one in. My biggest problem with HBP was
