I mean, we can complain about JJ Abrams all we want. The real culprit are the bosses at Disney that didn’t see fit to delay the movie enough for a real script to be written. 

The story of MGS2 would have been a lot better received had it been released today. I was impressed by the game back then, but also utterly baffled. Now I think about it often as I navigate our media landscape.

Chun Li would be a dope Wing Chun/Kung Fu master at this point. Sage and hard as iron! :D

The first of the new Star Wars movies that I won’t buy sadly.

I love Kareem Abdul Jabbar. A classy gentleman and a wise and soulful spirit warrior. 

Yeah... I loved the period setting, but lets have another team do a different take on Dracula.

I’d totally watch a new sci fi movie with Stallone.

This is so disappointing. No thanks....

WHOA! He looks way better than he did in Returns. Routh has really aged into the role. Also this suit is a better fit than the weird swim suit cut of his movie outfit.

Doesn’t “Cagliostro” more accurately belong to the half-forgotten “Ruritarian Romance” genre? :D A swashbuckling adventure set in a fictional central European country, involving love, honor and royal figures. Think “The Prisoner of Zenda”!

This baffles me. Why go CGI.......? I If you go watch a musical, wouldn’t you wanna see actual human performers dance? I mean... Imagine if Fred Astaire was computer animated. Where’s the joy in that? 

Great cosplay! Just makes me wish that SEGA could bring back Jet Set Radio. It’s too good for it not to be a thing anymore. 

Katee Sackhoff is a true badass.... But every line in this footage felt like “trailer dialogue”. I hope the show is much better than this. 

While I await Turok’s AAA return, I’ll take this in the meantime!

It was an eye opener for me recently when Lindsay Ellis pointed out that we as a society hate teenage girls. We hate their music, their movies, their make up and clothing.. and all the shallow and vain attributes we assign to them. Women are supposed to reject their teenage girlie selves and move on while guys can…

There was a time when those comics were all we fans had! ...But even at the time my young self acknowledged that certain things did not feel very “Star-Warsy”. The Marvel Comics did give us one of the best and most kinetic saber fights in franchise history however..

I stood in line 15 hours to get tickets to the Phantom Menace. And I spent many years being frustrated and angry at the film. However, now that the Disney sequels have thoroughly scratched that original SW itch, I can appreciate how strange and idiosyncratic The Phantom Menace was. It’s an auteur blockbuster for…

WipeOut, the epitome of 90s graphic design in a video game.

God I hate Superhero movies. I just want this sad Marvel pop culture era to be over. Decades from now these film are gonna be regarded the same way we look at generic 50s white hat/black hat John Wayne westerns. Avengers is NOT going to hold up.

Wow! Superhero movies at the very top... Black Panther? Spiderverse? Wonder Woman? Seriously...............? Io9 is really not the home of science fiction, nor serious cinephiles at all. Why am I reading these authors...?
