The whole damned series and every other jump scare riddled "found footage" movie. My friends love these and drag me to every one. Several times each summer I spend an hour and a half in a dark room bored out of my mind while a bunch of people occasionally scream in terror. Currently, I can predict every jump scare…
Actually genres do matter... In litterature as in cinema or television or internet...
Nothing? Not Tilda Swinton's Gabriel?
It starts out funny, and even though it stays funny throughout the story, itcan still be quite dark.
There's a great, quiet moment in SUPERMAN II where Clark realizes the jig is up, that Lois has figured out the truth, and his whole body language shifts as he stops pretending to be "Clark" and lets Lois see him as he really is.

Here are some of my thoughts on the episode:
Don't forget to hire a proofreader.
Wow even in comedic re-edited clips, Lucas's add-in CGI animals are distracting bullshit.
I WANT MY 2 DOLLARS
If either of these studios didn't blink, my first thought wouldn't be they have balls. It's how idiotic a dick measuring contest are you having? These record breaking openings for things like Dark Knight Rises, GoTG, Avengers, etc. are happening in large part because they aren't competing with each other. They're…
John and D'Argo from Farscape. Because you should be able to tell your friend important things like how much you have to pee right now.
Mulder and Scully!
Not sci-fi, but since it's basically a Sherlock Holmes story, and Sherlock shows up on io9 a lot, I'm including it.
