Slam Snyder all you want, I'm most impressed that he's filming off an original concept. So few fun-looking films these days that aren't adapted or "adapted" from previous material.

I think a short story just wrote itself *breaks out MacBook*.

@AngriestGeek: Toy Story 3 is an animated feature that ultimately hits towards families and is, on the whole, lighthearted and warming. Not applicable to the blockbuster circuit.

@AngriestGeek: We're talking blockbuster summer faire here cap'n - barbecue and meatloaf, not Piedmontese 5-coursers like Apocalypse Now.

This summer so far has been the absolute worst blockbuster summer on record in quite some time. People (et al me) are hungry for a hearty film meal, one that we haven't had since Iron Man 2. People are sick of the Bubble Gum crap and just want to see something filling. Inception will do the trick - and it'll hit like…

@Byers: Seriously, though the concept is cool - using a vampire novel to measure the potential of getting a book deal by publishing free first is akin to measuring average male sexual activity by polling the Craigslist "casual encounters" board.

@ServoCannotHoverOverGrates: What a novel idea! You mean like this one?

That's just sick. Looks like they've upped the production level too - shots look cleaner, video quality is higher.

@BMT: Hey! That's mine!

@mkirkland: Aye, if the question had been instead "Tell me what changes in this video" - we'd be focusing on the whole scheme of things as opposed to courting esoteric details - so I can't believe it's human inhibition. Incidentally I missed the curtain changing color, but caught the girl leaving.

Amy Harmon - doesn't she freelance for This American Life?

@bluntrauma: Aye - not to darken anybody's skies, but this is the truly definitive history of Nikola Tesla. My mind snapped to this off-the-bat as well.

@drk_cyde: Aye - if only for the fact that Abrams and Co. have the imagination and capacity to really flesh out the world between the songs, and not just jump for tune to tune with the bare minimum required inbetween...*cough*GLEE*cough*.

@CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): Yeah some light reflected off some swamp gas...from venus...or something.

@chalkshark: Man! Another great show completely tossed over the side! Hadn't even thought of Justified.

@Illundiel: Hate me, but I can't stand or watch standard comedies with a laugh track - and if you're in one (Parsons) you're automatically disqualified in my mind. And all I've seen of has been rather meh.

@doubledeckard: Oh and yeah, John Noble is an ace - how do mobilize against this BS snubbery?

Not sci-fi related, but I was pissed enough when I saw that Joel McHale was glossed over for any kind of Comedy award. Who's in his place instead? Jim Parsons as Sheldon in "Big Bang"? Steve Carrell for the effing umpteenth time? And what the hell is Matthew Morrison aka Mr. Shue doing in this category? Pull the…

@Walking Eye!: @crosis101: hello, Hello, HELLO, *HELLO*!

@kelz: Indeed. Best case scenario here - even if all they did was rip M. Night from the project and replace him with someone halfway decent WHO DOESN'T SOLO WRITE THEIR OWN SCRIPT (geebus! everytime it happens we all get screwed), we just might get something decent out of an Airbender 2. Doesn't mean I'd ultimately…
