Yikes, was going to post a photo I remembered from EGM featuring a Tingle (from Zelda) cosplayer as an example of the aforementioned cojones—but trust me, you do not wanna Google "Tingle from Zelda" images with Safe Search off! Ho-Lee Hyrule!!!

Q'apla! ;)

I can see where you're coming from, but in my opinion anyone with the guts to cosplay deserves my respect for the sheer cojones factor alone. Never done it myself, too body-conscious. (Still kinda sorry I never dressed up for a Rocky Horror screening, tho—at this late date, it'd have to be Doctor Scott, but I like to…

This has probably all been discussed previously, but... come on, Internets, it's early days!

I vote for Huey, Dewey and Louie. Carl Barks would approve, at least.

Exactly. The movie and the Matheson novel are two of my favorite fictional visions of what an afterlife should be like, never mind if one actually exists. (Two other favorites are Mark Twain's "Excerpt From Captain Stormfield's Trip to Heaven" and H. G. Well's "A Vision of Judgement" - "rational Heaven" doesn't have…

Sir, you are hearted for this comment alone. You nailed it. My fiancee and I are apparently sappy, sentimental suckers, but we both love this movie, too.

Yes, I read the book after watching the movie, too (unusual for me, Matheson is one of my favorite writers). And I have to say I agree with you—I preferred the movie, for pretty much the same reasons you did.

It's only a model...

I saw the movie and read the novel (big Matheson fan), and I'm also glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed it. Emotionally manipulative? Well, duh. But it never pretends not to be. It moved me, which was what it was supposed to do. I don't see the reason for all the hate.

I was gonna say my boyish good looks, but I like yours better.

Wow, I'd never considered that, but you're absolutely right—Jeffrey Hunter would have made a perfect Reed!

Now I've got Floyd's voice in my head going, "Oooh, pointy sideburns! That's... niiiicceee..."

Hearted!

I only knew a few of these, and I started watching Trek in 1966! I am mortified that I never noticed Floyd's in City!!

Well, there's a volcano on Mars the size of Missouri, I always thought that was fairly impressive...

Of course there's an Oort cloud, that's where the Heechee Food Factory is! Frederik Pohl tolded me!

Yeah, I think they took that "pig out" stuff directly from Mike Baron's reboot, he had Wally having to do that. I loved the TV series, too, and I wish it had been given a longer run. That show was the first thing I saw with a convincing depiction of super-speed (and on a limited budget to boot).

I actually think Fishburne is an excellent choice (he doesn't play "soft-spoken" in all his roles). And Perry in the comics (at least after the Byrne reboot) was a bit more complex than the guy who just yelled "Where the hell is Kent?!" all the time. Just as long as they don't inexplicably morph him into a corn-fed…
