"ERMAHGERD, WER TRERVERLIN THRERGH TERM!"
The trouble with the Pulaski-Data dynamic was that, unlike the McCoy-Spock arguments, where Spock could give as good as he got, Data always seemed too much of an innocent, so it seemed more like bullying.
Post-Apocalyptic fiction exploded with the first atomic bomb, and has since waxed and waned with environmental crises, Y2K and terrorism. Perhaps in the coming years well find ourselves in an age of optimism, and the PA genre will be relegated to a tiny minority?
Good to see that sci-fi literature is included in this list - too often on websites, only cinema seems to define the genre...
Actually I like Monster of the Week episodes, when they're done well. Never watched Supernatural but enjoyed Fringe's early MOTW episodes as opposed to their convoluted Parallel Earth story arc.
Try not to speak for the rest of the world, Delton, we didn't appoint you.
Didn't HG Wells have similar views?
They won't make it more violent, bloody, dark or gritty - they'll aim for a wider audience. And I bet they don't give a crap about the satire, it goes over their heads. This is just product, the way Robocop was product to OCP. But as I said, the satire goes over their heads.
Harrison Ford will be back as Han Solo, but only in a cameo. Most of the action will be taken up by Shia LeBeouf as his son Napoleon...
No! He led the country into a Civil War in order to sell Stark technology for law-enforcement and superhuman imprisonment.
What, a Chinese villain? I thought China was too lucrative a market to upset? Isn't that why the villains in the Red Dawn remake were changed from Chinese to North Koreans? Or will we get a throwaway line in the script that says the Mandarin isn't affiliated with China?
Personally I'd say they're more afraid and insecure. Like a child in a swimming pool, they're afraid to wade out into the deep end, they need to feel the bottom of the pool beneath their feet, even a little bit. So they won't invest in a totally new and original and risky project, they'd rather say that there'll be…
Feynman definitely needs a biopic. So many out there get one and don't deserve it.
"Miller promised his new approach to the show [Alphas] would include more drama and more sex, plus a major death." A major death? But I like all the characters! Except for the guy who can throw things, which as this is the only thing I can remember about him, tells you everything you need to know about my opinion on…
"Groot the living tree". As opposed to all the non-living ones out there...
{Sigh} And once again, the talk is all about how *we* have to do all the calling, how *we* have to make all the moves. Why can't *they* make the effort for once? Mother was right, I should have gone into the Search for ExtraDimensional Intelligence...
It's Frank L Baum's The Human Centipede...
I want a revamp of the two pilots made in the 80s, where a cryogenically frozen Holmes is brought back into the modern world and teamed up with a female Watson, a descendant of his old partner. I'm still amazed that one attempt to use this way-out concept wasn't considered enough...
Maybe they're weak because the tragic, romantic, charismatic immortal trope HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH. The freshest portrayal I've seen in recent years has been the oldest: The Vampire as Mute/Near-Mute Feral Predator. 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and STAKE LAND offered creatures who more realistically treated humans as what they…
I assumed that the extra mass came from an explosion of cellular growth (a form of exotic cancer) and that the energy came from the gamma rays suffused in Banner's cells, possibly continually absorbed and topped up from ambient sunlight (in the very early days, Banner would turn into a grey Hulk when the sun when…
