(Yes, I realize that this is REALLY late... I have a life.)

There are approximately 53 million people under 18 years of age in the US. You're a dipshit...

Man, every time a new client contacts me for the first time, and they have an AOL email address, I immediately lose some respect for them.

People have Google+ accounts? Still?

That's awesome. And clearly, rats are a lot closer to mice than fuckin' bears are... :)

It's pretty clearly Chuck E. Cheese:

It is a mouse. Nobody thinks it's a bear. Anyone who claims it's a bear is either a mental patient, is on bath salts, or "writes" for Gawker...

Yes, I'm very familiar with the film, and I don't have to rewatch it to know exactly the moment you're referring to. The fact that the dragon also has a ton of scales is irrelevant to this discussion.

Yes, but the key word in your comment was "ALSO".

And for yet a THIRD example of dragons which clearly are furry, here's the River Spirit dragon from Spirited Away.

I usually like his videos, but what-the actual-fuck, half of these he doesn't actually try to make them work at all. He just looks like the grayed-out "before" people in stupid "As Seen On TV" commercials.

I was wondering the same thing!

You were "burnt" by the first one?? What, it's awesome excitement and action burned you?? Was it too fun? Maybe you disliked it because they weren't enough 40-minute scenes of people sitting around a boardroom table talking about how to science away the problem, which is what most hardcore ST fans seem to prefer...

My opinion of Superman may not be any more valid than yours, but obviously my opinion of ID is a helluva lot more valid than yours until you actually take the time to watch it. So it's good that you will. :)

Very well-put.

"Shitty ripoff"????

Yes, I saw it in the theater when I was a boy, and I'm quite possibly older than you now. And I loved it back then. It's one of those movies that hardcore fanboys worship because of all the wonderful childhood memories associated with it, but that actually doesn't hold up at all over time. I rewatched it about five…

Just a couple significant plot beats are alike. Those reviews aren't totally wrong, but they exaggerate quite a bit, because hating on films is cool and trendy.

...which is a completely separate and distinct film, with just a couple similar plot beats. Seriously, ID was awesome, and you're doing yourself a disservice skipping it. Just because there's a bandwagon doesn't mean you have to jump on it....

Except that Critical Mass has an important and useful social purpose. This shit has no use or purpose.
