Hahaha, the passage you cited is about Noah passing out naked while hammer-ass drunk and his sons pulling a sheet over him. JUST FYI

When did "black goo" become the default sci-fi mystery substance? X-Files, Prometheus, Helix, probably others I'm forgetting. Give me some bright orange crazy goo! Teal! Grey! There's so many other options!

Probably from the header picture, where the Predator is standing right behind the science guy.

"Science guy finds mystery goo and immediately decides it will cure his disease for no good reason and with no support for that idea" seems about par for the course as far as Prometheus characters go. I'm sure nothing will go wong!

Obviously it's not really elaborated on in the film, but I'd assume that there must be some kind of contingency to that rule that excludes military personnel on an active mission, otherwise he'd be useless. Any time the squad went into a hot mission, he'd come crashing through the wall trying to save them, like some…

It seemed like he'd only just sat down. Building even a small shelter such as this at his age now took such effort, and he was tired. He gazed up at the yet-unfinished ceiling above him, estimating the time and effort yet ahead of him before this house was complete. He had but a little time before the occupants would…

According to the MST3k book, right after the voice change, some deranged fan took the time to print out (on those old dot matrix printers) a huge banner that read "I HATE TOM SERVO'S NEW VOICE". Kevin Murphy apparently hung it over his desk.

Come on now, Luke's new black outfit is so boss that it actually hurts. I'd dress like that every day if I could.

Haha yeah his evolution into "Two-Ton 21" was amazing.

I just love that he has three chevrons pointing straight at his crotch in that costume. One for each of his dead girlfriends!

The article points out that as soon as they get in the van, a film crew leaped out with disclaimer forms. Presumably there were some folks who didn't sign them.

Well, granted, but I'd still be a little leery of telling my hypothetical children that tonight's Pizza Hut special was paid for by the movie I was in, but, haha, funny story, at first I THOUGHT I was just going to bang some lady in the back of a crummy van! Finish your pepperoni, Tommy.

For what it's worth, Sleeper doesn't exactly take place in a world where people are starting to develop powers- it takes place in a fully-fledged super hero universe (in the Wildstorm universe, specifically- a DC imprint that let them tell "grittier" super hero stories than the main DC universe was deemed suitable…

Right, that's not what I was saying. Thanks, though.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I misunderstood the topic is all. Nothing to see here, move along.

Oh yeah, I mean I like the Matrix and all. I just like the Invisibles MORE, and misunderstood what was going on here. I'm a sheeple!

You're right, I didn't actually read the small explanatory paragraph. Assumption has made an ass of me yet again!

I got the impression they just really wanted to release a movie on 11-11-11 and this was the best they could come up with.

VERSUS

Again, as with the Wire, the thing that those have in common is that they aren't trying to be a prime-time drama suitable for viewers of all ages. They're taking a serious look at some serious issues and following through on the implications of putting children into these positions.

I'm not saying that having kiddie…
