The statement I read never gave me the impression they were seriously considering picking up more episodes, but instead do tv movies or maybe a spin off. They seemed very careful to keep their hopes in terms of 'the franchise' not the specific show (ala Stargate).

It's because I started watching his work when I was very young and it made a big impression on me (Popular is not a show one soon forgets, which is frankly about the nicest thing you can say about it). He lacks talent in certain areas, but he also has a whole lot in others.

Ryan Murphy is the man that no matter what he does wrong I will still love him (DAMN you Popular!). So I'll go ahead and be optimistic, if only to save myself some mental time.

Sometimes when you are writing a story there are words you have to deny yourself. You have to cut them out, give yourself zero tolerance for their use. Words like 'just,' 'suddenly,' etc.

"willingness to simply make shit up."

I think you're very right about the LBGT audience, but it is still very true that openly gay actors have a hard time getting parts that aren't aimed at what is seen (accurately or not) as their 'target audience,' which is why there are still so many actors and actresses in the closet. Though I think NPH is one of the…

Oh for the day when and opening gay actor/actress can be in a film and the film isn't suddenly about/aim at/secretly made for 'the gays.'

Me please!

I actually do agree with you, I was just trying to point that if one wants to debate this verdict (which there seems to be room to do as two courts disagree on the issue) there are better arguments to be made than the one Collex was making.

Your argument is pretty shaky, as the original Mona Lisa was not mass produced and no one is claiming the replicas are equal to the original. It would be better instead to compare it to something that operates the same in culture, like say fashion. Gucci hand bags are mass produced, so does that mean I can make them…

I've been looking forward to the changes I saw on Lifehacker making their way to io9. Looks great!

I completely agree that having the apples at all is the better choice by far, but it just turns my stomach that we have to sell fruit (FRUIT!) with sugar on the side to get people to be ok with it. It's like their 'healthy' yogurts that might be fat free, but are sure not sugar free (and as sugar turns to fat the…

Sure, and dip that apple right into some - 'Corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk (milk, sugar), high fructose corn syrup, water, butter (cream, salt), sugar....'

I will admit that a number of my favorite sci-fi films (and film in general) are Ridely Scott works (I was actually surprised by how represented he was in my film collection). But, many of the films I've seen in the last few years that were so bad they made me hurt were also Ridely Scott works (and a couple of his…

I love me some Ryan Murphy shows but inconsistent characters are like his calling card.

I saw The Runaways. I thought they didn't really give her much to work with. She was very good, but she was really overshadowed by Fanning (who isn't) and spent most of her best moments in the film completely alone doing things like playing a guitar, so it didn't really ask much of her.

I'm ready to see Kristen Stewart be in something I can actually stomach watching. I think she has a lot of potential and can't wait to see where she goes.

If I'm not mistaken that is actually supposed to be Cap from Marvel 1602.

Well, hearing is way more complex than that, involving specialized parts of the body. Now it's true that some of these other things do as well (say having a full bladder, that is a special pressure sensor not linked to the skin).

Were these people asked to keep daily calorie logs or something? Because diets high in 'bad food' are often high in calories because it is simply easier to over eat french fries than it is apples. You could eat so many apple you feel like your going to explode and not get near a high calorie count, while you could…
