@erika: Oh god. If I had the money or the skill...

Science, you rock! And they got close enough to a grizzly bear to determine that it shakes at 4 Hz? That's dedication.

Love these! But don't you mean flair? Unless you're encouraging us to make cross-stitched space porn, which would of course be awesome. Or cross-stitched 70s fashion, which would be baffling.

@Rawrnosaurous: Twinks? Yes, considering the defense budget, I think it's safe to call them that...

@Dr Emilio Lizardo: One doesn't exclude the other.

@Graviton1066: So...this?

@BrokenBow: I think that's the writer with his copy.

This might be terrible, and a throw-back to 70s psychodrama/body horror was always going to divide the pundits. But honestly, the vibe I get from this review is that the (very knowledgeable) critic is too jaded a moviegoer to get much joy out of anything. Bottom line: "I have seen everything — twice — and if I have to…

Lovely article! My hangover movie of choice used to be Deep Rising. In that state you need predictability, action that is engaging but not too noisy or realistic, a good laugh every few minutes, and feelgood non-threatening leads like Treat Williams. Or Brendan Fraser. Ah, pre-millennial Stephen Sommers...pure magic!

Hmm, I might qualify...cilantro and whole spinach taste intensely metallic to me, and I can only tolerate them in very small doses. Black coffee also. I do have a huge sweet tooth, but dislike things that are too sugary. But though my SO might be up for doing the test on me, I don't think I am. I'm scared of what the…

Foofy yes, but she stops to take of her heels, rather than trying to run in them. And everyone knows space vampires are immune to bullets but can't abide high-pitched squealing. I call total realism!

I can explain this.

There's a fabulous female Splicer outfit on the Flickr page, gets my vote!

@FrankenPC: Yet the xenomorphs got the jump on them (hence the skeleton and a crashed ship full of eggs)...so not THAT ultimate. And using them as WMDs is just what the Damn Company has been attempting all along, with rather limited success...

@Vundal: Nope, that's from Alien. Back to the source...

@Norseness: Turns out an alien history buff — from a blobby race without a history of their own — is using advanced tech to stage these scenes, purely out of geeky fascination. But ever-paranoid Galaxity sees it as warm-ups to an invasion and tries to intervene, which nearly leads to disaster. Silly future Earth.

How did I forget? There's an entire Valerian & Laureline graphic novel about historical reenactments in space! Sur les Terres Truquees/On the False Earths (though I don't think it was ever published in English).

@zegota: What we need is a YOUR MOTHER DOESN'T WORK HERE sign the size of Asia Minor.

@DarthChimay: Yes, but you actually have to go there to get them. Getting off your ass to do something the legal way? Simply too much to ask.

Yes, we live in Interesting Times, unfortunately.
