Now if I can just find one of the Marlins' hideous home run sculpture blowing up like the Death Star, my life will be complete.

Report on Specimen A35:

The article. Every comment on the the thread. Everything. Just. So. Perfect.

We're kind of getting into Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences here, aren't we? While we don't have a lot of evidence in the article, there's good reason to believe that top-notch athletes are capable of "recalling" prior series of events with precision. It's called learning. Look, I'm a decent free throw…

OK. Probably just my faulty memory. I thought there was a scene where they see the remnants of another gill-creature lodged in the rocks when they first enter the lagoon. I thought there was some line of dialogue later that suggested that it was the creature's mate, and that's why he was jonesin' for a human…

The desert winds scream loud against my ears.

This, to me, is the Universal monster most ready for a re-boot. In a world aware of climate change and species extinction, this could be an amazing film in the hands of the right director. Not to mention that, if done well, there's something spectacularly creepy in a Jaws-like sense about this movie.(I'm going to…

And red tights. If we're imagining making it right, we might as well go all the way.

Although he was capable of victory through skill and physical combat, Westley from The Princess Bride demonstrated how to win using one's intellect in the Battle of Wits with Vizzini.

We frequently berate io9 for inaccurate or misleading headlines. This one, however, is perfect.

Fair enough.

I'd really like to make the first GIF read "...with which to perfectly communicate." (I'd leave the split infinitive, though, since we know that Starfleet chooses "to boldly go.")

Don't gaze too long into it, or it will gaze into you.

I would say we call it a footprint because of the connotative value of "footprint" versus that of "bootprint," as others have said. Specifically, footprints have an association with history and great events. Consider these lines from Longfellow's "A Psalm of Life":

Another great bit of dialogue—

OK. We'll disagree, then. I still enjoy the film for what it tries to do. I'd recommend you give it another look, but I think it's safe to say you've made up your mind.

Blind angels, sex pills, and a villain named Duran Duran. Did I miss it, or did someone else mention the obvious?

Gotta disagree. It wasn't trying to be weird, it was trying to do the impossible—bring a comic to life. That's why they went to so much trouble with the art direction. All the colors are straight from a four-color press. Every yellow is the same yellow, every red the same red. Flawed? Sure. But far from a mess.…

Agreed it was a horrible film. But it wasn't a horrible COMIC BOOK film. So I'm afraid you're DQed.

Yes.
