You know, I don't care what anybody says, I still think Kevin Costner was the best Captain Tornado.

I mean if you just read the tweet Io9 posted he explicitly states that the money issues relate to the production, not to his own pay

A spoiled child who quit making films to make experimental music and furniture? It could fit a lot of people, but not David Lynch. It could just be that, like John Carpenter, he doesn't really want to carry on making stuff. I mean, after network executives utterly steamrollered the original Twin Peaks, how could you

I'd say his tweet makes it fairly clear it's the latter.

In a futurist world, the Thai kingdom has been transformed by ‘The Leader’ into ‘the Realm of people who have done good deeds and earned merits’.

I, too, wish people would write things about things they are not thinking about.

HBO GO BUT THANKS.

"We're leavin'." followed up with a solid "Fuck this ship!" Fishburne at his best.

I edited a lot of novelizations for Tor Books back in the day: Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, Mortal Kombat, Steel, etc. And I’m perversely proud of having edited the novelization of Cutthroat Island, one of the biggest flops in Hollywood history. (Although I believe the novelization turned a profit.)

some lovely (yet ridiculous) production design

I really enjoy this movie. Like a lot. As in, more than I actually should because I hate pretty much everything Paul W.S. Anderson has committed to film. I even generally dislike horror movies but as this article states it takes some of the best horror and sci fi elements from other (better) films and throws em in a

Now playing

Because you mentioned one of my favorite parts of this gem of a movie.

I think the science in Event Horizon is actually better than average for space movies, although that’s a very low bar to clear. It handles space science pretty well and actually portrays the effects of vacuum on the human body with admirable accuracy, instead of going for stupid “explosive decompression” gags like Outl

This is where I brag about having edited the novelization (which sold pretty well, as I recall).

Yes. I love the shit out of this movie.

A Quick Note For My Readers: Back in 2013, I wrote a ‘blip’ about a game called Read Only Memories. I missed this small post during my initial sweep last summer of posts I wrote that needed disclosure, but it’s been brought to my attention today, so I’m updating it with that information.

You're really just playing into my point, and you don't see it.

The relevant numbers are 5.4 Sieverts per day at the surface, and essentially zero below the 15-25 kilometers of ice. 18 centimeters of liquid water halves even gamma, the most penetrating form of ionizing radiation. Taking ice as being about 91.67% as dense as liquid water, 19.63 cm of ice should do the same. 15

The difference between Ceres and Europa is that Europa most likely has seas of liquid water beneath its surface. The water on Ceres is more likely to be bound with the material that makes up the asteroid...to say nothing of probably being frozen besides. The outgassing of water vapor that's been recently observed was

Some parts are standardised like the RTG used on curiosity, but ultimately the missions are so different and the parts so interdependent and the whole package so limited by overall weight and power consumption that the extra overheads from a modular design won't be worthwhile.
