Bwahahahahahahaha, that was awesome!

I'd be okay with this list being 30 entries long.
So Rodriguez has been trying to get this made for years, and now it finally gets greenlit? Given how Hollywood producers will make dumb decisions based on name similarity (See: the whole "movies with Mars in the title don't sell" idiocy) this has to be piggybacking off the success of Game of Thrones, right?
Jekyll and Hyde blew me away. The fact that it's a mystery where the twist is one of the most well-known bits of popular culture in the English-speaking world, and yet it's STILL gripping as hell to read is a huge testament to Stevenson's talents as a writer.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a whole lot of nothing, but I was also underwhelmed by Dune. It did have some good ideas, but I found Herbert's writing style dull and his characters paper thin. And there's the giant bantha in the room: We live in a culture inundated with Star Wars, which borrows so heavily from…

Holy shit, deep space would be such a perfect setting for that story.
Ha! That is fantastic!
The comic WE3 by Grant Morrison. It is awesome.
Traumatize ALL the children!
How freaking awesome would it be to see a Gene Kelly dance number in zero gravity?
"I don't want to live in a world where we decide that we've had enough giant robots."
That could very well be part of why I enjoyed it so much. I dig the early 90's gothic rocker vibe. Hence the Morpheus avatar.
Also, Only Lovers Left Alive was phenomenal. This cannot be stated too often.
"This will likely be cinema's only black-and-white feminist Western vampire movie, shot in a California ghost town but with all dialogue in Farsi"
Chris Foss, Moebius, H.R. Giger. This movie is pure concept art porn.
With much smaller books getting chopped up into multiple movies, it won't surprise me at all if we actually do get eventually get a 12-hour Dune adaptation. Sadly, the musician-starring drug trip aspect is a much slimmer possibility.
I dare you to try to hug a cassowary.
I do not admit any superiority of the sequel.
