Ender's Game took me completely by surprise, though if I had been reading it critically (isntead of for entertainment) I would've seen it coming way in advance.

The movie version is just as depressing at the end, too. It made me sick to my stomach.

I totally agree. I saw the twist ending several years ago and it completely changed the movie for me. Instead of being a monster movie that gave me the creeps, it would have been an incredible mindf*ck that I really would have enjoyed. I greatly admired the twist ending and thought it was truly one of the biggest…

Well it's definitely bad fiction, because apparently the Cubs won the 2012 world series. Come on, even in sci-fi nobody would believe that.

Isn't Coltan the metal that Terminators are made of?

I've had this hunch from the first screenshots...in fact, before I read the cast of characters I thought she WAS the "token" android. I didn't realize until much later that Fassbender was instead.

Constance: As a resident of the Deep South I would have to sadly disagree. If this were an isolated case I'd be inclined to go along with you, but this preacher's attitude is, if not exactly prevalent (anymore), then at least very very common in the Carolinas and other Deep South states. It is not hate based on…

Well, I know what my nightmares will be filled with tonight...

I grew up in Florence in the 80's and the story of the A-bomb was extremely well-known by all the schoolkids. Have never seen the site, though.

Same here. If this list had not included Anakin and Padme, it would have completely discredited the authors for the rest of eternity. I mean I love Star Wars, but Anakin-Padme is the most unbelievable duo in all of movie history.

That looks like a steampunk _Slave I_ to me.

Couldn't agree more. I loved what I thought was the ending of A.I., and then there were 10-15 more minutes that made me hate it. It stripped the movie of all meaning and poignancy. I remember when I complained about it to friends that they'd seen articles saying Kubrick wanted that ending, but I still have trouble…

I was ever so slightly interested until I got to the part that said "a team that includes the same studio that brought you the V remake". *sigh* Oh well.

Lucas just needs to shut up. I'm sure if he's really that upset about it, he can wipe his tears with the roomful of $100 bills he's got to have somewhere in his mansion. I really want to respect Lucas but the only way is if he would just STFU and quit trying to backpedal anytime someone criticizes him. Is he really…

I, for one, welcome our new formicid overlords.

I wonder if astronomers have considered that the companion star may have simply been ejected from the binary system by the force of the explosion. Maybe the system is/was too massive for such a scenario, I don't know, but it seems like a worthwhile theory.

Something I don't think this article covers is how facebook could be used *positively* to connect today's children with their parents and grandparents. I'm 38 this year and have children ranging from 7 to 2. When those children are teens, adults, and beyond, maybe being able to go into my timeline and see photos and…

Oddly, I was just thinking about this phenomenon a few days ago. And actually my return trip home IS faster than my trip to work, by a few minutes, and it's not because of rush hour variations. As best I can tell, it's instead because my trip into work involves having to stop at several more stop signs and traffic…

> Where are you getting the other four from?

Did the author not notice that "Deathstroke the Terminator" and "Darkseid" are the exact same model and costume?
