A 2001 remake could be pretty funny, if they actually set it in the year 2001.

Well, sticking with the Jekyll and Hyde theme, Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It does a brilliant job of combining the original depiction of Hyde as little trollish guy who's smaller than Jekyll to the popular modern take of Hyde as a hulking beast. Plus, it really hammers home the point that…

I always thought a spot on Wishbone had to be incredibly degrading. They probably spent their whole lives dreaming of being a great famous actor, only to end up getting second billing to a Jack Russell Terrier.

Plenty of people in Hollywood have imagination. The problem is, they're not the ones deciding which movies get made and which don't.

Part of the reason I disliked Black Swan was that Aronofsky DIDN'T acknowledge Satoshi Kon as an influence, even though it was painfully obvious that he was. Well, that and the fact that it was an inferior movie.

I've heard good things about Buried, but I'm way too claustrophobic to actually watch it.

I can't imagine these well-groomed, sophisticated vikings being the inspiration of any great heavy metal epics.

I'm having trouble imagining a Hobbit trilogy where the story isn't stretched too thin, like butter scraped over too much bread.

Ghibli, as viewed through the cracked lens of Gainax? More, please!

I know it'll never happen (for several reasons) but ever since I read the book, I've imagined Ewan McGregor starring in a Danny Boyle-directed adaptation of Neuromancer. I think it's because Case reminded me of McGregor's character in Trainspotting.

"And there's nothing wrong with that, really. Sometimes you just want to turn off your brain and watch Vince Vaughn peeing. It's like urinary comfort food."

Have you seen 50/50? He's got some real talent when he sets his mind to doing something other than telling dick jokes.

Literal fridge brilliance!

Oh, I agree. I much prefer the fantastical story to the one where it's just a metaphor. It's been a while since I read it, but doesn't the book even say that the story is much more interesting if Richard Parker is real?

Because the trailer is only two minutes, and the vast majority of the story doesn't include them?

Well, it's a work of fiction, so what *really* happened at the end is every bit as much of a "lie" as what preceded it. I normally dislike the "it was all just a dream" ending for this reason, but I actually liked the way Martel handled it in Life of Pi. It felt more like a celebration of metaphor and fantasy as a…

Appropriately titled "Won't Get Fooled Again."

I, for one, welcome our cyborg overlords.

Not to be a nerd or anything, but raptor and rapture (and rape) do all come from the same root word, meaning to steal or carry off.

Yep.
