His actual Superman stories, "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" and "For the Man Who Has Everything" are also fucking amazing.

Yes!

The movie may not have happened, but that picture alone is enough to qualify.

Based on the universal truth that Simon Pegg should totally be every character (except those played by Nick Frost, of course), I concur.

Holy crap, this is amazing. If you hadn't told me it was made using CGI, I would have assumed Disney animators had drawn a lot more frames than normal to make everything look so fluid. If this is the future of 2-D hand-drawn animation, I'm definitely okay with it.

Those boots had me thinking Sean Connery in Zardoz, but Sting works too.

Seriously. Nic Cage's problem isn't that he can't act, it's that he takes literally any job offered to him. When he actually takes on good roles, like in Raising Arizona or Adaptation, he's amazing. And even in many of his bad roles, he manages to take a crap material and make it watchable, albeit not always in the…

Alfred Molina as Doc Ock... Oh wait...

Haha, good point. Judging by how quickly memes rise and fall, 10 internet years to one real-life year does sound about right.

Shouldn't this be io9's wood anniversary? The golden anniversary is 50 years.

Hence the phrases "jack of all trades" and "every man jack."

Meh, film is all about visual storytelling. And software updates make for shitty cinema. Sparky soldering iron to the robo-brain is great visual shorthand for "this guy is a weirdo obsessive mad scientist type."

Yep. The movie contains a lot of foreshadowing that helps the third act shift make a lot more sense on repeated viewings.

And thus began my man crush on Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Same here.

Only if they haven't actually seen the movies.

I thought the meme that hurt Sunshine was that its synopsis sounds like it's just another exercise in sci-fi dumbassery a la Armageddon or The Core. At least that's what kept me away from it until I kept hearing word of mouth about how good it was.

Yeah, no, Let Me In was completely pointless. And it gutted the film of a huge chunk of its thematic resonance by replacing the character of Lacke with random police dude.

I also liked Pinbacker, and not just because he's played by Mark Strong. I think the reason people don't like it is because the tone of the movie shifts dramatically in the final act, and a lot of people found that jarring. (Danny Boyle seems to love this, because the final act in 28 Days Later gets similar…

Whaaaaaaaaaat? The Army unit is what elevated 28 Days Later from simply being a good atmospheric zombie film to being one of the all time greats.
