Just because "gold, boxes, and Jewish people" are three very real things, it does not mean that the Ark of the Covenant is real too. It is just a legend with zero historical substance. The same way that the Garden of Eden was a legend and Thor's Hammer is a legend. Gardens are real, hammers are real, but that doesn't…

Yes, I'm an atheist. And no, I don't consider the Ark an historic object because the only ones making reference to it are the people who believe in it either in scripture or religious legends. There are no other historical, independent references to it. It is like stating that the Garden of Eden was a real historical…

Yeah, I don't believe in an Ark of the Covenant anymore than I believe in Magical Invisible Bearded Guy who sits in clouds and watches people masturbate let alone do I care where an imaginary box of face melting stone tablets may or may not be buried. Fun plot device for Indiana Jones but that's about it.

I dunno. In the wake of Cabin in the Woods, I just feel like reliving the old school horror movie is just going backwards. I want more innovation in my horror not the same old stuff recycled.

I don't get the Supernatural hate. I really don't. Seasons 6-8 are definitely a different show than what came before, granted. And last night's episode was kind of a snoozefest but the first two Season 8 eps were amazing.

Season 5 a masterpiece? Season 5 sucked! Were you watching the same show? I had so many problems with Season 5 entire arc. More than I had with Season 6. Season 6 at least made some semblance of sense when you watch the whole thing. Season 5 with Dean as Michael's avatar and Sam as Lucifer's avatar was just lazy…

I guess time will tell now to see if it works. Might not have been through the proper channels and the risks are pretty dire, but the experiment has begun and can't really be stopped now. If it works and doesn't destroy biodiversity or destroy the marine ecosystem, then that means iron fertilization is a viable…

Wow, you just proved that you've never seen the movie.

Ended my month long sabbatical from io9 to say this: Supernatural is rocking again and I love it! Great episode. Want to see a whole lot more Dean the Warrior and a lot less Sam the Lover, but this season is shaping up great so far!

The Midgardian doth protest too much.

Any true Batman fan should read Dark Knight Returns. It is required reading. Especially for someone with Bane as his avatar.

I liked X3: Last Stand better than Green Lantern.

You seem to have the same misguided philosophy that 'edgy' is somehow cool or good. This isn't Wolverine or Punisher or Batman, this is supposed to be Superman. He is supposed to be cheesy and powerful as he is meant to be a symbol of hope, not an aggressive and secretive asshole. In the New 52, he is acting like an…

I have been reading Superman comics since the late 80's and I am well aware that 'my' Superman is full on dead (lawsuit aside, for no decent reason). I don't care if we are stuck with this crappy version, it still sucks, lawsuit or no. If they are going to shoehorn this New 52 version into the new movie for synergy's…

Um.....forgetting something?

And there is no Dana, only Zuul.

Well, Brick is not a chase action movie so it is kind of comparing apples to oranges, but in any case, yes, I've seen Brick (I really don't see why people think it is this great movie) and yes, JGL can act but he is only really palatable to me in smaller doses, so he works really well as a supporting character like in…

JGL doesn't impress me and I won't see a movie just because he is in it. He's a good supporting character but as the main focus....eh, not so interesting. I'm seeing Looper for old Bruce Willis and timey wimey, not for the kid from 3rd Rock.

Henry Cavil's past work is not that impressive. I hated Immortals for a lot of reasons but Henry Cavil was just bland and boring in that film. He brought nothing interesting to that role. And he was a bit player (and a teenager mind you) in Count of Monte Cristo. I've never seen Tristan and Isolde or the Tudors, but…

Yeah, I'm not convinced that Henry Cavil truly IS Superman just because his costar says so. I don't want him to just LOOK like Superman, but to BE Superman and not that shitty New-52 version. Plus, people seem to be pushing Henry Cavil up as this 'next big thing' but he really hasn't earned it. In that respect, he is…
