Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Hulk was created in a military nuke test accident, not a lab accident.
Hey you kids, get offa my lawn!
Seriously?
Hunger Games in a list that includes Foundation, Dune, LotR, Stranger in a Strange Land, Forever War and Neuromancer?
Not even.
Was there a mandate to include some YA stuff? Then what about Red Planet (or was there a block on mentioning Heinlein twice?)?
Generally a good list. You touched on the giants (though…
So Achilles is just naturally a superhuman?
My point was that when some barely articulate hack filmmaker decides he has the right to monkey with stories that have survived for millennia and "improve" them by removing key elements (the parallels between Olympus and the Trojan/Greek political struggles in the Iliad, the importance of the supernatural in the…
Wrong verb tense. Should be a simple declarative: "Fuck Ratt Bretner."

In a way that is both profound and shallow, stupidly intelligent, crassly classy and classlessly gentile. It will be an epic tale of ordinary proportions; a true retelling of that very new and original saga we all know and will discover together.
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
Different bone structure, different noses and ears and eye color, different builds and skin tone?
Nope.
Plural of cyclops is cyclopes.
Headline threw me for a moment.
None. Fraternal twins may be fundamentally distinct, but identical twins (much less clones) should have a very close resemblance, barring the effects of lifestyle and happenstance. These two guys (Armand and Sly) look nothing alike, other than both have dark hair.
Or, perhaps, Cerberus was a trio of hyenas.
And remember, these guys were supposed to be genetically identical clones.
Nnnnnnope.
Swing and a miss.
Just effing not funny. Not meta. Not self-aware. Not "so bad it's good."
Just plain old vanilla every day common off-the-shelf clueless dreck.
