Except… that is nothing at all like Pitch Black.

Riddick is around some people who are practicing Muslims (other passengers on the ship) but is not, himself, a religious individual.

*cough* It's, uh, actually a reference to a Warhammer 40K faction, a game of which Vin Diesel is a huge fan, I'm lead to believe.

Can get it on Amazon:

Oh, he's very popular Geddy. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts,
bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think
he's a righteous dude.

It knows you don't own a copy, which is required by the Human Rights Commission.  It's one of the ways you can prove you are human, and not a lizard-alien in disguise.  It's just a thing, every human being is required to own a copy of The Joshua Tree.

You do know that not everyone owns a cellphone, right?  I mean, I know they appear to be ubiquitous, but they aren't.

In my experience, it's very real, but not universally so.  Certain artists simply *do* sound better on vinyl than they ever have on CD, or in any other digital format (with the exception of FLAC).  There are simply certain artists that have aspects to their voice that, in the "perfection" of digital formats, don't…

All of them?

Pretty sure you could drop NSK a line and request a cassette version.

The thing with CDs is the AUD format their files are encoded in.  Higher compression ratios permit more media storage.  It also contributes to some audio quality issues, though this will not affect everyone equally.

For a very brief while, certain elements of society believed that low-baud-rate modems were, somehow, unable to be hacked or traced, either by ID thieves/hackers, terrorists, government agencies, and other assorted groups.

He's always had a first name and middle initial, they introduced us to that in Pitch Black.

I dunno.  Depends on if that bear got involved.  Bears are violent, rapey bastards.

The video games and the animated film were also very well-received.

Sort of.  It could have been much better, but I don't think they had a good idea on how to string that potential storyline along in a serialized TV show.

Yes, Pitch Black is extremely worth watching.  In fact, for any fan of sci-fi, I would say it's required viewing.  Forget all the lens flare and clean CGI of the shit that's been coming out the last 10, 15 years, Pitch Black is dirty, gritty, greasy sci-fi like the original Alien or Blade Runner.

@avclub-10002631234370cc43d1ef36d9fd2f5b:disqus  It should have.

Unless we start doing this shit all the more often, at every opportunity, it will *never* be legal or socially acceptable!  The change begins with YOU!

The Absurd Minds cover is superior to both.
