I only have one question remaining: what flavor is Anti-Quark? Up? Strange? Charm?

Things is, there are lots of different kinds of bad: there's your average just-plain-stupid (Bad Eggs falls into this one), and you have the ones where they decided to ratchet up the "after school special" factor to 11 (Beer Bad, the whole "magic == drugs" arc, etc) - while cringe-worthy, these are still quite…

Quick and dirty, so pardon the awkward phrasing (I was trying to be as precise as possible with the dialog):

We're not "entrusting" anyone with anything, we're begging them for a ride because we've driven our own space program into the ground.

Ok, you can't say "Sex Chair" in the title, and then use the phrase "clock-shaped chair" in the first sentence - it leads to... misreadings.

I don't actually think the argument in this case is that it's not "sci-fi enough", it's more that while it's awesome, I wouldn't necessarily call it "great". It looked cool as hell, but the plot was a little thin, and it's thematic ground a little too well-trodden to put it up on any "best of" lists. That's just me,…

I kind of want Serenity to win now, just so this travesty reaches its logical conclusion.

I think it's something about the combination of an absurdly powerful weapon and magic that makes it seem less than "art".

From what I understand, they haven't actually written a single episode of Fringe, they just get "creator" credits.

Hieroglyphs.

If only Jake Lloyd was 10 years younger!

Orci and Kurtzman are writing Ender's Game now?

"Aliens is the best action movie ever made (sci-fi or not)."

How can Alien (the greater Alien) be doing as badly against Star Wars (the lesser Star Wars) as Aliens (the lesser Alien) is doing against Empire (the greater Star Wars)?

Yeah, it's gonna be another Summer Glau Poll. Not that I don't like Summer Glau...

That is the creepiest fucking thing I've ever seen.

Not saying that at all - I liked it a lot, and it's an extremely well-made film, not arguing with that. But I do have a few things to say against it: for one thing, it's about 40 minutes too long, with not enough story to get it to the finish line; the central conceit (Bats taking the blame for what's-his-face) is a…

2001 vs The Fifth Element is like Mozart vs Katy Perry

Yeah, there's a lot of great stuff in 2001, but 141 minutes is a bit much.

Well, what do you think?
