What I want to know is: Why is every poster for "Bones" representing it like it's a comedy? Granted, I'm not exactly an avid follower of the series but repeated viewings on the fitness center TV with the sound off indicates a show that's heavy on murder, gore (TV-version, but still) and tragedy, and light on fun...…

Anyone wonder if ancient physicists discovered this? And if the secret to making Han purple was lost because they waved themselves into two dimensions?
Can't remember if I've said it before but fairy tales are kinda fucked up...
Totally agree. I find Interstellar's greatest weakness, story-wise, to be that it doesn't present any real hope, nothing to aspire to, despite taking place "on the next frontier", so to speak - basically, it tells us that everything will be OK if we only remain true to our inner selves, our love and connections to…
Disagree; Doctor Who is internally OK with its weirdness, whereas Interstellar has a very realistic-y sience aspect that violently collides with the woo in it.
" Watching Interstellar is really like watching two movies slowly collide with each other" is almost verbatim what I turned to my buddies and said when we were walking out after this movie.
To paraphrase that most revered of teachers, Dr. Jones, Jr.: Science is about facts - if it's truth you're looking for, the philosophy class is down the hall.
I am also a friendly genius. We should create a movement.
You know, there could be an awesome full-length movie in this, a dramatic epic. Play the idea totally straight, sort-of like The Matrix, but for the toys... someone get on that, STAT.
Interestingly, these devout people's reactions to the pope's words are quite reminiscent of how they often relate to the bible ("they" here meaning a particular kind of faithful, namely the same kind that takes umbrage with these latest statements out of the Vatican): - sometimes it's literal, and sometimes it's…
Didn't catch these tidbits first time 'round, because I didn't like the movie then - later, when I became a raging fan, I caught most of them, plus the one where "KYM" is carved into the elevator wall behind Neo as they go to see the oracle (in reference to costume designer Kym Barrett)...
Thanks, very informative. Won't bore the good people of here about it anymore, though.
Did you just create a gritty reboot of "Top Dog"?
Quick, someone delete that post before Hollywood sees it!
There's a couple of interesting layers to something like this - like, for example, how was the survey carried out? Multiple choice? Free text? Under what circumstances - email campaign, call-up, personal meeting?
"Halo: Combat Evolved". Sure, I had some fun dabbling in D&D when I was a kid, and playing "Risk" while on exercise in the army was fun too, all huddled in the back of a truck in the middle of the night, wearing combat fatigues and surrounded by military equipment - but H:CE was some sort of perfect storm to me, as…
Personally, I stand with the point made by Cracked.com - namely, that in any passable movie there's a character arc (or several), which means that the character(s) has to start out less interesting and, through their arc, become moreso.
Good destinction, that.
That final sentence in the article is actually quite a bit worse than the already-pretty-bad "taking the bible literally because it says it's the word of god and who are we to doubt the word of god" logic - because if it's the case that some adherents actually only wish the world was more orderly (as in their mental…
