Uh, yeah. Everything they do is subordinate to a larger force. That's kind of the point of every Kubrick movie ever. This is yet another example of a middlebrow dweeb bleating about how Kubrick is interested in the sociological rather than the psychological and how that's somehow a flaw.

I like science. I like Sci-Fi. I think space fetishism is silly and people who pretend that NASA has the relevance it did decades ago are plain old retarded. I belong here as much as the rest of you assholes.

No, I'm aware that NASA has done a lot of good, although Space Nerds continually overstate it for the purposes of serving their own vacuous space fetishism.

oops doublepost.

Fuck NASA. Can we talk about science that actually matters in the near future? Can we talk about public health, and how it's being impacted? What about conservation, or FDA inspection, or even research grants? Why does it have to be NASA, which is a tiny portion of the budget and largely redundant, and which only…

In theory it's supposed to force the houses to reconciliation. But that never works. Hence how most western european countries (and Canada) treat budgets as non-confidence measures.

The plan was pretty simple, in the way that most plans are. The rock had been set up like an obelisk, sprayed down with artificial lichen, and then decorated with the neon paint according to HQ’s highly specific instructions. Each stroke was electronically dictated, and Eric had imitated the plans overlaid on his…

There's nothing in good Hellblazer that's darker than, say, Torchwood or The X-Files or Fringe. It's just much better executed so it hits harder when it lands. It could easily be made into something TV worthy. Sure, the latter day stuff and Azzarello's run are really lazily dark because Azzarello is an incredibly…

If you haven't read it, don't. It's basically raw sewage in comic book form. He flies the house of mystery as if it were the Shield Helicarrier or some other bullshit.

It's not pretty. He's the de facto head of a justice league spinoff.

The character, and the comic, might work as an American if it were set in the eighties. Sub Reagan in for Thatcher and it might work, since most of the whole crapsack world setting comes from the social upheaval at the time, and big chunks of America were kinda ravaged. Not to mention, the first official Hellblazer…

Constantine sucks. It's a reboot designed to move Constantine into the New 52, and it's tonally/aesthetically a cape book.

Sounds like, yet again, they're going to get the basic concept wrong.

Based on my experiences at multidisciplinary events, I sorta figure most STEM people dress like that whenever Comicon rears its ugly head.

See I always thought that the film was a surreal and disturbing story that played with ideas about trans-generational abuse through institutions such as patriarchy, while the book was a middling horror novel that gets undue praise for having equally middling family drama going on at the same time.

To be fair, the subtext is pretty fucked up in the original text. It's like the "good rape" bit from the vagina monologues, only nowhere near as well written.

A lot of this stuff is actually backed by American Evangelicals, who funnel a lot of money into exactly this kind of thing, and into really fucked up legislation.

As others have said, the recon is animated.
