I, Robot the movie is to its original book the same way as I am Legend is to its original book, meaning they aren't.

no, the rule is 1/2 your age plus 7. Minus 7 would have 20 year olds diddling 3 year olds, and no body wants that, even ironically.

Sookie et al. =/= White Wolf's World of Darkness. There are similarities along the lines of vampire politics, but there are not the clan lines and distinct bloodline powers. With so much urban fantasy out there, it's hard not to have similarities.

My girlfriend unfortunately is one of those who, while she's happy to mindlessly channel surf and has her own guilty pleasures, can't see any t.v. as true art or storytelling. She managed the first 3 or so eps of BB and just got annoyed at despicable people doing despicable things to each other and won't watch…

the gaping plot hole that my girlfriend and I can't really get over is the notion that LD's wife, this tiny wisp of a woman, would be able to effectively drown three kids like that, as if they'd all just passively stand by as she did them one by one. Make the kids infants or under five, to show some sort of post…

no, it doesn't make sense that aliens who have had something on the planet for a long time wouldn't already know that they can't handle the bacteria/germs/whatever in the atmosphere. The original war of the worlds at least had them coming here and being overcome, but the remake had them here originally or long term…

I kind of liked JC's Vampires, though I liked the book it was based on better and wished they'd stuck with world building that it was going for.

reboot criteria
is it really a really real reboot if there had been a different crow every movie anyway? what makes it a reboot vs. a sequel? just the time between movies?

It may be semantics or line crossing, but I see a big difference between a single live monkey parroting a salute and a pack of cgi monkeys spontaneously fighting the good fight against Russians.

several episodes. she was the hippyish girlfriend that worked the bar and had a vamp blood habit with the brother right? that was 2nd season I think.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but unless the heat is really off of Jesse due to the beating, I don't see how a regular drive to the laundry is a good thing when DEA or someone is following Jesse there. They will have to come up with something a little better on the commute to avoid surveilance, me thinks.

Walt killed Emilio with the gas in ep 1. Strangled Crazy 8 in ep 3 I think. And watched Jane die, and she was on her back because of him shaking Jesse trying to wake him.

When I read Dark Knight Returns, I envisioned Clint Eastwood as the new/old Batman. I think he's a bit too old now, and like the Kurt Russell nod. My official call out though would be Rutger Hauer. I've no idea what shape he's in or what he's doing, but if Hobo with a Shotgun turns out and he shapes up a bit, it…

the expendables
I wonder what kind of pay day you get for putting your name on a project so they can finance it, even though you end up not being part of it.

I think it's more likely at this point that she suspects Raylan is hooking up with Ava and is poking around that, hence all the relationship with a law enforcement officer drawback talk. But it could be that she herself is getting into some fishy things and that's why she wanted Ralayn to investigate some names…

I'm wondering if we'll be seeing Boyd's mom anytime, 'cause daddy is a lot bigger than any of the sons we've seen so far.

what I like
is a woman who swears like a sailor, and it sounds perfectly natural. I also liked Lars and the Real Girl and the character she played, though I didn't see her as the villian. I haven't seen most of the others, but since folks seemed to thin Transsiberian was ok, I may give that a go. several thumbs up.

and with everything being CGI, how much interference or actual city blocks do they fucking need anyway?

on reveals etc.
I guess I knew that the sheriff was bad when he asked whether Ava was with Raylan, but I hadn't seen Raylan as the target coming. If they do go more serialized, it would be nice if the criminals didn't kill each other quite so much, especially if they have something resembling a personality. It does…

the story said the to be counseled lad was a PA, so unless Charlie Sheen was a PA on the set, we'll never know.
