Just saw this movie and I gotta say, I'm stunned CJA didn't come away with the same feeling that I did.

Am I the only io9er that liked 666 Park avenue? It wasn't schmaltzy like Revolution and Falling Skies, it had above average writing and direction. It had the slow burn, less is more kind of horror. I would like to see what they could've done on a cable network like FX or HBO.

This first episode is already 10x better than all of last season, and I *loved* last season! I agree, though, the aliens were better when we thought they might be in Kit's head. (they still may be)

That's pretty much exactly what happened.

If you want to do the next Star Wars, just make that live action Robotech already!!

Here's a direct link to the Death Knight wallpaper without having to download an exe file.

Agreed. Shame, too, because that's the one I want.

I think the Resident Evil and Underworld series, no matter what you think of the actual movies, show that a female-led action franchise is possible. Black Widow's outfit is no more or less skimpy than Selene's outfit in the Underworld films. Maybe the problem isn't superheroine movies, maybe they just have to be…

This.

Having a token minority is almost worse. It's like when people say "Oh, I totally have a black friend."

Yup. Another future without minorities. This is becoming the new "the black guy dies first".

Without even having watched the show I completely agree with everything you say, CJA. In fact, I had a hunch that this is how it'd go which is why I haven't bothered watching this nonsense.

As soon as I get my liberal friends to start accepting that maybe we're not all stereotypes some idiot like this comes along.

That sound you hear is this Christian conservative banging his head against his desk... I seriously think I would vote for a Democratic contender over this guy.

I've had this movie for I guess a couple years now; I imported the Blu-ray from Amazon.uk and I always thought it'd do fine with a US audience. The movie stands up to multiple viewings—wish it had been given a wide release. Still, it'll be nice when it comes to Region A BD so I can scrap my Region B locked one.

I'm a hard cider man myself.

Agreed. However, I think this would've made for a great teaser trailer.

$20 says the token black guy dies first.

I'm still going to see it, but I find myself less and less patient with two of the primary cliches on which this movie is based.

While there are a couple of JB-based ROMs for my EVO 3D, they are far from stable. This works great on my ICS-based ROM, though.
