Wow, what a coincidence: I'm sitting here taking a break from watching the Jurassic Park Blu-Ray while my lunch cooks, and I decide to check in on io9...

LOL! I was taken to see Le Mans when I was 8, and it totally spoiled me. No more "kiddie" movies for me, I wanted gritty adult realism!

Seconded.

I especially love Kurt's comments after the big shoot-out near the end...

Also, check out the excellent fan site, which has, among other things, transcripts of both commentaries...

Oh, Kurt Wimmer proudly admits in the commentary that he stole from everybody!

Agreed, it's one of my all-time favorites. And Kurt Wimmer's commentary was wonderful!

Actually, in Equilibrium, it didn't matter whether the dogs were cute or ugly — they simply didn't understand the concept of pets. Taye Diggs had a great line: "Why do they keep these animals? What, do they eat 'em?"

Exactly my thoughts! I would think that gaming would lead to repetitive-motion injuries, like the fabled "Blackberry Thumb".

The Southern Gentleman is the one I'm havin' trouble with.

Kinda sad seeing Hicks from Alphas make a totally lame attempt at escape, and Emma using Jinxie's lie detector "superpower" (but he's dead now, so I guess it's up for grabs).

Oh, metal wings do their fair share of flexing. I remember, as a kid, in my window seat over the wing as we flew through turbulence, freaking out a bit when I saw the wing flapping up & down.

But I found it odd that the folks at Raytheon-Sarcos, who've developed a set of Waldoes, call them "slaves".

"Gate Ship... It's a ship... that goes through a gate..."

"Wash" is Lt. Alicia Washington, Taylor's Second, played by Simone Kessell.

Yeah, I heard it was between Matt & Benedict for Eleven.

But Geoff can't get farther than 12' from an electrical outlet! Not very conducive to wandering off and getting into trouble, although that would make the Doctor very happy!

Yep, this was featured in The Great International Paper Airplane Book, that I got when I was around 8.
