Well, there was Pete Stark, but he retired in 2013 I think. So right now, I don't think there are any open atheists.

Well, I don't view anything that Gervais has done as wrong. He might be an asshole, but I don't have a problem with that so long as his arguments are rational.

All of this shitting all over Gervais for his loud atheism baffles me. I mean, I get it to a degree—he does go on and it's easy to see how his personality grates on some people. But the loud atheism in general is an important, direct response by people to those who have been loudly proclaiming Christ at us for the…

I believe that the Blu-Rays are the original 1977 versions, and whenever I watch them and something happens that is not how I in my heart know they are supposed to be, I will selectively disbelieve what I am seeing and remember them as they are.

Isn't almost every subplot introduced in the entire run of LOST technically a dropped one? Almost nothing was actually answered, and what was answered was mostly answered with a condescending "There will always be more questions. Always. An infinity upon infinity of them, so really it's just quite dim of you to even…

You ever go back to those? I re-read the Belgariad recently; I was feeling nostalgic. Horrible. Just, crushingly disappointing.

Someday, Hollywood will:
A) Learn a little bit about cosmology, physics and whatnot and craft a fun film that doesn't make me scream at how stupid everybody is

Yeah. Dull. The book was about that and more. The movie took it down a notch.

Time and infinity are only dumb for as long as no one speaks for them, and my voice works just fine.

@ niastifr, Sure it's a fact. But I hate that fact. Anyway, I don't mind someone putting themselves into an adaptation, but I really despise seeing an intelligent story turned into the same 'ol human troubles of the heart that exist in every other fuckin' Hollywood formula, but….INNNNN SPAAAACCCCCEE!

Nothing banal? "Oh boo-hoo, my poor dead wife, I feel so guilty and stuff. Boo-hoo." 3 hours of that horseshit. Tarkovsky was an early example of what would become Hollywood's ridiculous need to infuse every story with a romantic kerfuffle. Sure, that stuff happened in the book but it was much muted and only used as…

I actually wrote that comment like 10 years ago on Amazon product reviews. As I haven't seen the movie since then, I figured that my original impression would have more validity than trying to write something new so, I admit it sounds juvenile even to me now.

Terrible adapdation
I'm not going to argue whether or not Andrei Tarkovsky is a great filmaker; I believe the point is moot here. Stanislaw Lem himself disapproved of this movie, and for good reason. Mr Tarkovsky seems to have completely missed the point of this story! It is essentially, I believe, about the…

Ravenous. Guy Pearce ruled in Ravenous. So did Jeffrey Jones, but I'm not sure if you're allowed to say he was ever good at anything any more.

@ Hipsterdbag

If you're not man enough to watch a single Buffy episode because the "concept" bothers you, then you're not man enough to have an opinion on Normal Again. (feel free to replace 'man' with 'geeky fan')

That would be
BERBER, Mr. Murray Phonyetic.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure had the funniest chase scene of mall time.

'Normal Again' is awesome. I actually prefer to think of Buffy in the insane asylum as the real world because, you know, it is. Playing with the idea of the whole reality of Buffy and Angel as a psychotic episode is genius, brave, and awesome.
