Exactly.

While the poster may have gone a bit far, he is mostly right. As for the differences you asked about, I would rather my child play with a spoon, or napkin, or appropriate toy, or what have you, than to play with a $500 device. I would rather his first formative connections to the world involve his physical…

Sadly you were nearly correct... I guess that the IO9's theory actually holds some truth.

A new runner-up candidate for this list (and the only thing I could ding the Avengers for); any more movies that have some alien/villian/etc. that is a fiction-destroying, eye-hurting, overly busy, pile of CGI metal shards that is supposed to represent a single form but looks likes a scrapyard's refuse in the trailer…

Would human survivability not also depend on other factors such as the planet's spin rate, and atmospheric density?

Any "Super Earth" planet can be as large as 20 times the mass of our planet. That is some sort of rough upper limit that the scientists have decided upon.

AAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Well, lets see... Scrolling through my mp3 player, I have 22 of the songs on this list on it. (yeah I that much of a theme song geek.)

HOLY $#it!!!

Amen to that.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!

Agreed.

Bingo!

I would think that it is to have visual interest in the characters' forms. Filming things that are flat colors tend to look like blobs or cut-outs, especially when layers of FX have to be added on top.

I have seen many a setup here and many of them range from head scratching/yawn inducing to pretty good, but this one is AWEsome! I am not wowed by the lighting per se, but the rest of the setup and the creativity is inspiring.

Why Stop at just colors?

IT was in an issue of Superman, and yeah I was thinking the same thing.

Amen.
