Love Perlman in just about everything, especially “City of Lost Children,” but he’ll always be Vincent to me (aka Beast who looked kinda like Barbara Streisand).

My dad is up in Paradise right now as part of the emergency and evacuation effort, and it’s pretty likely he’ll be staying for quite a long time, perhaps as long as three months, working 18-20 hours a day. As a Californian, the Camp Fire has been absolutely horrifying and devastating. The sheer amount of destruction…

All it takes is twenty years or so for something widely derided to become “iconic”

The most obnoxious thing for me about this time period was that City of Ember was a pretty good movie relative to all the other YA-sploitation movies and that it got absolutely clobbered by Beverly Hills Chihuahua of all things and relegated to the dust bins of movie history.

Your comment was longer than the article.  Maybe you should write for Io9 on the weekends

Steampunk did start to use solar panels, and it was mostly okay.

Well said. And this is why I’m so happy Golden Compass is getting an episodic run on television. Here’s hoping lots of wait-and-see production houses out there, er, waiting to see if the series does well. 

Wow.

Origins reconstruction of Ptolemaic Egypt (particularly Alexandria) is also kind of breathtaking.

The layout of the city is fairly accurate; from the Pharos lighthouse to the Great Synagogue. 

Dude, Franklin Farms Used Books and Comics was like 4 miles down the road from Fair Oaks Mall, they had a way better selection and you only had to have three books to have a box ;-)

Awful as it is, I will concede it is VERY much in character for Constantine to be that much of an asshole re: just casually stripping a shapeshifter’s power.

Beebo Day comes early!

It’s really obvious at the end of the first FB that the spell didn’t work quite right and Jake remembered Queenie. So it’s good they don’t spend too much time on that in this movie.

Mowgli means The Frog. His adoptive parents, the wolfs, decides to call him that because he got a problem with sitting still, and got no fur.

Dammit Mowgli, you messed up the timeline AGAIN!

SHEREKAHN YOU HAVE FAILED THIS JUNGLE

My name is Mowgli and I’m the not a man or a wolf. When I was a baby, I saw my mother lose me in the jungle during a tiger attack. My father went to prison for baby negligence. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I’m just an ordinary jungle boy, but secretly I use my hands to befriend…

So torn.

“Tobias Whale enjoys a giant shrimp cocktail”

I feel no show does everything perfectly. Can we just be happy that there are shows out there trying to garnish new perspective instead of demonizing everyone who doesn’t do it perfectly.
