I find it disappointing that Pacific Rim opened up as poorly as it did in Japan. I had hoped it would go out like gang busters, but it opened up fifth, after The Wind Rises, World War Z, which opened up this weekend with PR, Monster's University, and something called The After-Dinner Mysteries. Maybe it was just…

It took this recap and running through the scene of Bilith being fed on by the other Vampires again to realize that he is the Vampire Jesus. Lilith is the Vampire god(dess), Bilith was re...reborn from Lilith, making him the son of the Vampire god. Why am I so fucking slow?

I thought that to myself when I went over the pictures, but when I went to make the post I forgot it. Still, as Pessimetc mentioned, an argument could be made that they are Andorians as they are considered a subspecies of the Andorian species.

I think some of the best cosplays are the ones that don't try to be specific characters. The Ferengi are pretty good, particularly the one in the group of four on the far right because she really seems to have the attitude of a Ferengi down pat. The Jem'hadar and the white Andorian are pretty great too.

Rollerblades? Knee-pads? Half Wolf? Is it just me or this this movie kind of seeming like something that was written for the 80s?

The entire premise for the Xindi war always struck me as utterly fucking stupid. The Xindi decide to test out a prototype of their weapon on the planet they're going to try and destroy instead of, I don't know, say finding a planet with a similar composition first. If the attack on San Fran never happened then Earth…

Don't forget the procedural cop drama based on Beauty and the Beast.

Is it just me or does this seem like the kind of ridiculous pose that artists usually put Hawkeye into to demonstrate just how silly it is?

I'm saying the flaming water in Gasland is a fucking hook for commercials. It's a part of the movie and it's easier to take a clip of that to get attention than to show a trailer full of people sitting behind desks in suits or on porches.

The ultimate problem with Razer product is that, while they might work great for a time, and will last you a year, that is a really crappy standard to hold a peripheral you'll probably be using every day. I had a pair of razor headphones and a mouse that I won from that World of Warcraft Mountain Dew giveaway a few…

The burning water is just an easy way to demonstrate what fracking does. You could talk about the chemicals they're pushing into the water that are full of carcinogens, how the concrete that surrounds the pipes that are supposed to stop the methane from leaking constantly break down, how some fracking has led to small…

No! Not Aunt Zelda! WHY?

I'm not sure if it's up there, I want to say it's the Hollensbury Spite house, but when I was in the 8th grade my junior high had a trip to Washington DC, and as apart of that trip I remember us passing by what they said was the narrowest house in the world.

Con: Are we supposed to be taking this random hand in the pocket seriously? Wouldn't their jackets be just doused in hand blood? Why isn't this thing just bleeding all over them?

It falls under Archaeology, which is a form of scientific study, and io9 often covers matters of not just Science Fiction but also Science in reality, that's why.

Damn, I forgot the fainting goats.

The only thing that would make this more quintessential internet goat is if the goat did that creepy human like scream.

For being a non-Hayao Miyazaki movie I'd say it's one of the best, although I have yet to see Grave of the Fireflies because I'm never quite prepared to be depressed by a gorgeous anime movie. It's certainly the best thing to come out of the studio since Howl's Moving Castle.

Aw man, I got all excited that Porco Rosso was coming out on Blu-Ray in America. Way to shatter my hopes.

Because the internet. No other reason is needed.
