Also- I think the most depressing thing about this movie is that we unwillingly traded a del Toro-directed 'At the Mountains of Madness' for it. This saddens me greatly.

I have a working theory that almost all horror films require character stupidity to move the plot along, and the great horror films are great partially because they minimize this as much as possible. Prometheus did not minimize this- it went all-in; spackling you with ridiculous throwaway characters, sub-plots,…

Ah, Manila...the city where the 'nice areas' would still be considered slums in any other major city.

Looks like I'm going to have to pull my Rosemary's Blankie of Good Sleep (+25 Defense vs ghosts & demons) out of the closet tonight...

Well...I thought it was kinda funny. Relevancy be damned!

I think it's a terrible idea to have Guile of all people be on a terrorism fast reaction team..

Don't you mean 'she'?

From what I understand, its like dropping a marble in the ocean, and having the marble pass through slightly denser water (which would represent Earth)...

I would swear that I saw or read something about surgical doctors having to change their preop washing procedures because Purell wasn't good enough anymore. I've just done a bit of googling and can't find any immediate support for this memory- but pieces of it stick in my head pretty solidly. Something like a few…

Not a single period in the entire comment. I'm impressed!

I agree completely- you never see a kid allowed to just eat dirt any more. :-)

I know (hope?) you are [joking...but...yes]- you still need to read Perdido Street Station.

Yes it was.

Do you always let other people tell you what is watchable and unwatchable?

I will be massively annoyed if my new MBP requires 5 different thunderbolt adapters in order to be functional in my work environment. The reason its called a 'Pro' is because advanced/professional users actually use and have need for all the extra ports and firepower. Otherwise, we are just talking about a Big Air…

Word for word what I was going to write. Ethernet Is Not Legacy!!
