That's what I was thinking (read; lamenting) when I took a look at the site. The end of the video says 'Rising Soon' but I don't put a huge amount of stock in that - it may just be there to stick to the trailer format that the short film sort of utilizes.

I hope Pacific Rim delivers the experience I wanted from Prometheus - that is, 'movie I am most looking forward to; movie that sounds great and by all rights should be amazing; movie that actually turns out amazing". I liked Prometheus, but I was also disappointed by it for the same reasons everyone else was. I went…

*Looks left and right to make sure no one else is within earshot* [Whispers] I.. I don't know a thing about Unix. Could you maybe spare the time to explain what's funny about this quote? I grasp what's funny about the GUI interface thing from Bones, but not so much this one. Thanks in advance.

God I loved The Lost Room. I really wish there was some continuation of the franchise - there's been a comic series in the works for a while now but it's sort of on hold. I feel like you could make an interesting story-driven video game out of Lost Room, maybe set earlier than the TV series, dealing with the conflict…

In high school, my friend and I had just finished our french class for the day, and he turned to me and exclaimed "SPOOOOON!!". The teacher whirled around, fixed us with a cold glare and spoke in an icy, threatening tone; "Ey!! ...Are you calling me a spoon?" My friend and I exchanged confused, nervous glances before…

I'm a douchebag because I enjoy korean pop music? Well, that's a disappointing revelation, I thought I was a pretty okay guy until now. However, I have to agree with you on looking forward to its popularity dying down, as I've very much been over Gangnam Style for months now, and while I enjoyed it enough when it…

I misread 'pilgrims' as 'penguins' (I blame my current wallpaper, one of Windows 7's sample pictures). Now I can't help being underwhelmed.

Even worse, Porygon and even its evolutions seem to have been eternally barred for use in the anime, as a result of the bad name it was given due to the seizure event (same thing has apparently happened with Jynx, due to 'blackface'). The worst thing is that it wasn't even Porygon at fault - it was the world beloved…

Sounds like the perfect accessory for the careless road crosser! If they can add a dock in the front that will hold an iPhone directly in front of your face, you might not even need to use your hands to nearly end up street pizza.

As I listen to an asian pop radio show every week day I've become pretty tired of Gangnam Style, but this video made me want to crank it to spite the dude. However, I'm pretty sure Mr. Gingers Have Souls! is just acting. But then that brings up the question of why the hell would you even want to make this video (or…

Great time to start, as the second half of the fifth season (slated to be the last) hits next year. Very easy show to get through (S1 has 7 eps, S2-4 have 13 eps each, S5 is aired as two sets of 8 eps) and it really feels like it was custom made to just sit down and marathon like four episodes in a row at a time (I…

From what I've heard, no battle actually occurs in the book. The sides meet to do battle, spend ages staring each other down and then when you think it's finally going to happen something occurs that renders the conflict moot and they all give up and go home. So yeah, it's actually even worse. This is second-hand info…

Yeah, count me as another who loves this film. I've been to Lyttleton a few times, too (where a lot of the outdoor scenes were shot).

Re: Breaking Bad; I saw that particular advert on TV here in Australia a mere week after I finished season 4 on DVD. I was so happy a friend lent me the DVD, otherwise I'd have still been waiting for a copy to become available through the local library. If the advert had ruined that moment for me... I'm sure a small…

These are sea cucumber? But... they're almost cute! I've hated sea cucumbers since I visited a marine research facility as a kid (it was part of a school trip), and the lady there lifted this spiky, slimy turd out of a tray of water and asked if anyone wanted to hold it. No, I did not want to hold it, and I did not…

My brother! I feel your pain. That's how I found out that the fairer sex can indeed keep up with the big boys when it comes to creating variety of differently colored messes. Thankfully that job is behind me now, but the horrors I witnessed will never fade from my mind.

I watched and enjoyed all of Primeval's seasons but felt that it could benefit from the kind of approach they're taking with New World at times. I know that it's often a bad thing to turn everything dark and gritty, but it might work here (I mean, they're not shooting for GRIMDARK).

I saw Dark Crystal for the first time about five years ago (on TV), hired it on DVD earlier this year, and bought it on Blu-ray last month. It's become one of my top fave films and I'm looking at picking up the World of the Dark Crystal book for not too crazy a price.
