These don’t support Dolby Vision, so that’s a non-starter if you want to invest in a 4K device with the aim of future-proofing. If you don’t know what Dolby Vision is, just google it. The quality jump over older 4K standards is amazing. You do need a TV that supports Dolby Vision, though, so of your buying it for a TV

Yeah, ditto. Pulled me all the way out of “Ready Player One” when I heard hos voice. I was really into the movie, enjoying the 3D, completely sucked into it, and then came his voice. I couldn’t recover from it and was only maybe 2/3 of the way able to enjoy it. I really wish they’d gotten someone else to dub his

Hey, I just saw in another thread that someone is using your name, pretending to be you, and saying really %(%@&$ -up things and trolling people. I flagged it, but thought you should know.

There absolutely is one thing that you and io9 can do. While I realize that it’s very difficult for each writer to look through all of the rsponses/comments replying to your articles, and I realize that there have been cutbacks which makes things more difficult, there is still something that io9 can do.

Yeah, and worse than that, to try to emphasize whatever Downs or autism claim she was making, she immediately follows the claim with “FOR SURE” then “There’s something not quite right with that man.” Making a dodgy as hell claim is one thing, but saying that either a person with Downs or on the autism spectrum is “not

I think he needs to be in the position of “show runner” for the Star Wars universe, for all projects. I think he should be part of the process of writing of episode IX during preproduction. He should get a crack at reviewing and giving notes for every revision. But he doesn’t have enough of a background to be

There is (or maybe now “was”) a cool Photography kinja sub, but after all the shit went down a few years ago (RIP Gawker/RIP ownership of the unpaid contributors on all of kinja/RIP many more good things) , I stopped sharing my work there because, you know, theft. It still may be worth checking out.

Grant Morrison wrote about Carmine Infantino’s design of The Flash’s iconic, sleek red costume and how it was, and remains, the best superhero costume design in superhero comic book history. I agree with that wholeheartedly.

This is good kinja. It’s more than that. It’s great. It’s greater than the mere kinja corner of the internet. This is just great internet.

What did people used to say was acceptable? You divide your age by two and add seven? That was the idea floated circa turn of the century. (On another note, I like that I can say “at the turn of the century.”)

You know what? Screw it. Scrap it. Find a new and more interesting Star Trek story that has the money going to the production and effects and not the actors.

In response to most of the commenters:

For the love of God, man, read the exceptional fantastic four and future foundation series written by Jonathan Hickman.

 Did you take that photo? It’s great! 

Well said. The other aspect I’d like to mention is that a number of the “mid-sized, middlebrow dramas” that you mention and traditional movies (as well as what used to be called indies or art house flicks) is that the writers have a vast number of choices now to tell their stories. If a screenwriter wanted to tell a

I’m also more than a bit worried about that with multiple characters, drawing from source material like Teen Tony Stark (covered by the imitable Brian Cronin in his excellent “Abandoned Love” column at CBR) as one (bad) example of how it could be done.  At some point it’s going to be a “The King is dead, long live

Hosts? Or host? Genuinely confused. From the headline, I imagined Cruise flying one of his planes around the world and making talk show hosts from Japan, England, Australia, etc. all parachute with him. But is it just a one stunt gag with Corden? Blargh-I’m too tired to think like this. It would be even cooler if it
