@Rob C: Or Ninja. That's really where I'm focusing my energy these days. Being a pirate is so much less...elegant.

As long as it's better than Battlefield Earth, I'm OK with it.

Yeah, that was pretty much it. That was the cover of the large format comic book adaptation my then teenaged older neighbour gave me before I saw the movie. Damn I wish I still had that.

@nitrosdragon: I've never quite gotten the Alien Ressurection hate on. I like the movie.

They only count as spoilers if anyone goes to see the movie which...seriously people..don't. Don't encourage this bullshit non-original remake crap that's the only thing Hollywood seems to put out these days.

Speaking of Joss (is there anything else to speak of?) I always think of Buffy's mother dying as a a great example of unplanned story telling.

Really and truly, this is one of the best reviews of a Hollywood movie I've ever read.

It's not an origin story

@lightninglouie: man, that brings back memories. justified and ancient is the first MP3 file I ever downloaded, the day after Tammy Wynette died. I remember pulling it at work after searching for it in AltaVista...then I had to find something to play this file type I'd never heard of.

Ah fuck. Another stupid cross posting...

Second time you've posted these same pics within three months, isn't it?

Sigh. So much historical knowledge of these things that just gets lost in the transition to digital.

What's with all the domain changing here? I came from IO9, and wind up at Jezebel.

@foureight84: Thanks for pointing this out. This is way old news, which makes it no less impressive, I'm not sure why the editing crowd here thought this was fresh news...
