There's a bit of historical revisionism at work here. A couple of months after Iron Man came out, the Incredible Hulk bombed in theaters. Next up was the nearly-as-terrible Iron Man 2. So yes, solid base, but it was immediately followed by the two worst Phase 1 movies. Marvel survived by constantly pivoting to new…

I tried EVE several years ago and found it to be not what my co-worker described. All I was doing was mining. One good thing to come out of it is it found some bad patches on my RAM leading to BSOD, so I was thankful for that as I was having performance problems and hadn't been able to isolate it fully at the time.

On a funny side note, a couple of people I know watched the video posted and got really excited thinking it was a game like Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous and got into the idea of playing the game. I had to warn them that it was not in fact a space fighting game and was basically just a lot of micromanaging…

I think we have evidence of that already. It was done from about 800BC through 400AD and gave us what we call the Bible.

90% of this movie was either underground or involved Jennifer Lawrence crying

I can die a happy man now I've been mentioned in an io9 article!

I should be so lucky. Wait...what?

Not a single entry with the words "while goats watch"?

Kontroll, a Hungarian dark comedy/quasi-urban fantasy film from 2003 by Nimrod Antal. The tone of the film is reminiscent of Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt) (i.e., "existential action film"), but Kontroll actually has a better story, IMO. The main character (Bulscu) is a fare enforcement officer in a nameless…

Vastly underrated and bombed badly.

television is primarily a method of escapism for the lower and middle class -and i think i can speak for us all when i say that i'd rather not watch shows that illustrate how financial pressure, mental illness, or the vicissitudes of the public school system might lead someone to be a killer. frankly, there's a reason…

Regarding Contact and 2001: Really?

This is just a movie. In everyday life, I really hate when pseudoscience is touted as being reality. But this is just a movie, and that's all it's meant to be. It's not meant to be accurate in every sense possible. It's a fictional movie and that allows for these silly ideas to be used to some extent without it being…

Ironically, the same could be said about Wilson's own Sociobiology. Wilson is the darling in some quarters now because of his book, Consilience but people forget that his book Sociobiology, a precursor to the overhyped evo-psych today, was very, very controversial when it came out. Basically, the very same rule that…

I would just like to add a thought, that the "love" and "time" were relative to our concepts of understanding our 3 dimensional space... I rolled my eyes when the conversation in the film veered towards it. But then it kind of took me back when they started inferring that these measure were based on how we could…

Or... you know, stop over analyzing every single thing that comes out, and just take it and enjoy it for what it is meant to be: entertainment. Cutting superfluous or ornamented plots or devices from movies (or literature, if we must take that next step) wont stop people from believing in pseudoscience. Fixing the…

Many bothans died to bring us this beer.
