I love the way they made the poster for "Anaconda 2" look like it's for a children's film about a happy snake.

"Christpunk"? That's not a can of worms, that's an industrial worm farm...

"I love this show..."

What about the death of Second Technician Arnold J. Rimmer from "Red Dwarf"? It was quick, it was probably none too pleasant, and it has some of the best last words uttered by any science fiction character: "Gazpacho Soup!"

I know, but this feeling is more general movie anxiety than something aimed specifically at Matthijs van Heijningen, Jr.

Dear "The Thing" re-remake,

Could it be that The Punisher just has plenty of dentures and access to a good dentist?

What about privateers? Their letters of marque basically made them nationalized pirates.

This is why Plato kicked all of the poets out from his ideal city in "The Republic."

St. Patrick did his missionary work in 5th Century, so I think it is safe to say that the Irish had been thoroughly Christianized by the 8th. Of course, local (pagan) customs tended to survive and adapt to the new religion wherever it went (Christianity was amazingly syncretic back then), hence the Irish anti-zombie…

That explanation sounds awfully Dune-y, like maybe the Queen/Senator from Naboo took a batch of the Water of Life somewhere between her honeymoon and getting force-choked by her hubby. Then again, there is plenty of Dune influence to be seen in Star Wars, so you may be onto something... Now we just need it verified by…

My mistake. I thought "Starless" was a book title that somehow tied into the OSC discussion.

A "phantom" exoplanet, you say?

Do I even want to know what "Starless" is? (Also, I even have trouble with the Bean Books! I feel like OSC is a One Hit Wonder who overstayed his welcome long ago...)

Can't wait for the Jim Steranko influence to show up in "The Good, the Bad, and the Holy Hell My Face Just Melted!"

To own a planet after I die or not to own a planet after I die, that is the question...

"Sucked" is putting it rather nicely. "Un-frakking-readable" is my opinion—and I loved "Ender's Game." Am I at fault? I really want to like the universe of Ender and the Buggers, but it seems like he's stopped milking the cows and went straight for the bulls. In other words, it ain't pretty, but the bulls can't…

You win. No contest.

The only excuses for not having this opening theme song among the rankings should involve either a neuralyzer or a house visit from Alex Trebek and Jesse Ventura.

I believe you've neglected something in your poll...
