Stan Lee is actually just the most popular disguise for the Skrulls. It's all a big stealth teaser for their eventual showdown with the Avengers.

Now imagine if Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder had actually gotten to star in a Superman movie with a half-decent script.

Anyone else think the guys at Pixar are getting a little bored? Like they've grown tired of making movies that start with a great premise and make something wonderful out of it, so now they've started picking out premises that have no right to be good, just to prove that they can make a great movie out of that too?

So, Parallax is the black thing from A Wrinkle In Time?

Sounds like this continues the trend of literary snobs only giving credit to books with science fiction themes when the book isn't too science fictiony. Either books where the sci-fi elements are only one section of book that covers a lot of other territory (Kavalier and Clay, Cloud Atlas, The Blind Assassin) or such…

Well then I guess it's a good thing the Planet Express ship already switched over to whale oil.

The non-human Lanterns also look incredibly cartoonish. There should be a new term for films like Green Lantern and Avatar that are really cartoons posing as live-action films.

Combine this with the rumors of a plot outline that sound eerily reminiscent of Superman Birthright, and we have an origin story of a man who goes off to a remote part of the world, finds himself and realizes that he must become a hero, returns home and faces off against an enemy with ties to his origin who has an…

Before The Dark Knight, we had already seen Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Bane, Ra's Al Ghul, and Scarecrow in previous big screen Batman adaptations. Yes, most of these were horrible bastardizations of the comics characters (Thank you, Joel Schumacher) but at least we'd seen…

Jon Favreau: savior of the middle-brow blockbuster.

If there were Vulcan Jedi, they would probalby insist on finding some sort of logical, biological cause of the force, like some sort of tiny microorganisms that give the Jedi their powers. It would be the most horrible thing ever.

This doesn't bother me, because it's so obvious that film producers are full of shit.

Any time Blade Runner is brought up, I feel obligated to point out what a vastly overrated snoozefest it is. The premise is interesting, but the actual execution of the story isn't very compelling. It owes its elevated status to its amazing and highly influential design, not unlike another sci-fi classic,…

Kwanzaa-Bot also appeared in two of the Futurama movies. If that's not enough to get Coolio on this list, then clearly there's something rotten in the state of io9.

I predict that the Dark Knight Rises Score's epic core will sound a lot Inception's epic core, which sounded a lot like The Dark Knight's epic core, which sounded a lot like the Pirates of the Caribbean's epic core, which sounded a lot like Gladiator's epic core....

I can't say I'd be too upset if this completely collapses. Having Goyer and the Nolans do the script is an even bigger mistake than having Snyder direct. They're definitely talented, but they're pretty one-note. Every Nolan film has the same dark, brooding tone, which would be a complete disaster if applied to…

Bender Bending Rodriguez has experimented with being both a folk singer and a fembot, though not at the same time.
