This film made something like $80 million US in South Korea. It probably didn't cost more than $10 million. $20 million for everything all up but that seems less likely. It doesn't look cheap either.

Anyone else hear remember The Amtrak Wars book series by Patrick Tilley?

It takes scenes not entirely unlike those from World War Z but actually does them properly this time.

I'm sorry, I was fighting Mr Evil in the ring, you're supposed to wait until I TKO him first before your turn. I can do tag team just this once, though I suppose.

Face/Off and none of the rest.

I still remember the scene in question. Some guy who was an ex-policeman (and not quite right) had come to the station and Olmos enters the room and just starts talking to him and just keeps talking and the entire time, Olmos is just looking at him and looking at him and I remember feeling increasingly uncomfortable…

I like how almost every novel of his has at least one original unique idea, like in Galactic Pot Healer, it's an actual job to take broken porcelain and the like and put the pieces back together in such a way that you could never tell it was broken in the first place (so not just super glue then). The Simulacra, the…

Understatement of the century.

It's because you've got money, isn't it?

The Logan's Run book was 21. Which given the ages of actors versus the ages they play (Jennifer Lawrence excluded), could still be doable in terms of precedence, even if they shouldn't be doing it.

Spike: Look, if cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who would win?

Alrighty then: ROUND ONE FIGHT

The visuals for Prometheus looked really good on the big screen (I want to go to Iceland more than ever.)

I used to go to the cinema almost every week to see just about anything (I saw Gothika in the cinema, for goodness sake) but the interest drained away a long time ago (in 2012, I saw 3: The Avengers, Iron Sky and Prometheus - though I do regret missing Resident Evil 5, believe it or not) and this year, I've probably…

There's an excellent book on the production of the movie called "Future Noir" by Paul Sammon (reading it, it seems like a miracle the movie was ever completed) but it does describe a scene where Deckard's in the background and his eyes glow a bit which I think was put in as an ambiguous suggestive clue that he *might*…

I have a postgraduate degree in Ultrasound and it never occurred to me that's what that avatar could be a picture of.

Well, the book was OK, for what that's worth.

I saw Prometheus on the world's largest IMAX screen. It's since been demolished. Make of that what you will.

I felt sorry for Sean Young in this case. She said she ran into Ridley Scott (socially, I assume) once this had started pre-production and he didn't bring it up at all. If I remember correctly, she figured if he wasn't, that's basically all she needed to know so she didn't ask either.

I found that show terrifying for a number of reasons.
