So true. There’s all sorts of freaky stuff in later books that would be completely new to audiences. No need to regurgitate Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man etc. ad nauseum.

If someone would just bother to be more faithful to the source material, a re-imagining wouldn’t event be necessary....the original books are bizarre, haunting and imaginative, and no one has really bothered to mine the full wealth of material that already exists there. I was a HUGE fan of these books as a kid. Only…

Not all close relationships between two individuals have to be romantic.
Platonic relationships are actually the norm.

What is with this incessant need for everything and anything to be represented in media?

These are the “in the spaceship” suit, which replace the orange suits that shuttle astronauts wore. These are designed to protect the wearer in case of a cabin leak and the atmospheric pressure gets too low, but it is not a replacement for the EMU (extra-vehicular mobility units) that they wear on a spacewalk, which…

Yes, I was wondering that, too. These look — to my incredibly inexpert eye — more like flight suits than EVA suits. Though I’m sure the astronauts doing EVA would love to get smaller suits that are less exhausting to work in.

So, I’m a bit confused. Is this just the “In spaceship suit” and not one designed for mucking about the outside of the space station? Or will this be the new EVA suit as well?

I submit that it’s a bad idea to look down on people because you think they did something you dislike and your only evidence is their race, gender, and home state.

Guinan is a time lord without a Tardis... it explains so much [wink]

Being a VFX artist myself I’m super allergic to the concept of “CGI Magic”, especially when “CGI Magic” is presented as the cheap and creatively bankrupt alternative to some traditional form of art.

Maybe, in the opening crawl, they retell the story of “the force awakens” froms Luke´s point of view.

Unpopular opinion: I actually liked Nemesis.

And yet it’s still better than Into Darkness.

I don’t doubt that we’re heading in the direction Sagan feared. But in the words of Dickens:

Goddamn, Evan, I hope Gizmodo knows what they’ve got in you. One doesn’t normally expect the most poignant and well-written articles to come from the “resident comic book guy,” but I’ll be damned if that’s not the case around here. Keep up the good work.

“It should be built” [...] “people who live in the area need to feel that they have a voice in the process”

Some people react that way. I think it’s because they’re trying for hyper-realistic skin textures and hair physics (even allowing light through collagen in the digital ears and noses) on something with obvious and intentional cartoon proportions. It’s a mixture of intense false reality and the classical exaggeration…

Tangled is indeed the superior movie over Frozen.

Just your reminder that Tangled is better than Frozen. I said it! Come at me, bro!

Is this the first example of Disney’s Ride-to-Movie formula? Was there a Jungle Cruise movie or Enchanted Tiki Bar romp that I’ve fogotten about?

With you there. “It’s the Enterprise”, followed by that enormous wall of badassery cruising past the Defiant and into the battle... the movie was very hit and miss at best, but that was a hell of a moment.
