We io9 editors were just debating this point — about whether this article is misogynist or not. I was really fascinated by the fact that the article revealed how a single, small change to a person's eyes could make them basically unrecognizable. So I thought of this as a story about the science of facial recognition…

Whether the science is interesting or not, I'm disappointed to see this covered on io9, which I generally hope to be above such misogynist picking apart of every detail about women's appearance. It's not the content of the article - it's the very fact of it. Calling in experts to perform forensic analyses of women's…

This is actually perfect. If they decide Hulk is too dangerous, he winds up *in space* by the end of Phase 2, popping up in Guardians 2 as they head towards earth to help stop Thanos in the Avengers/Guardians crossover event.

Robo Reddington.

How everyone is not collectively losing their shit right now is beyond me.
This looks fantastic. Cue the "Avengers-is-so-big-i-have-to-poo-poo-everything-to-avoid exposing-my-inner-child-hipsters" i suppose.
I guess thats overly harsh. Everyone is free to dislike it if they want.
Its just MY 10 year old comic book…

You are absolutely right ... you are a cranky asshole.

Oh dear lord ...Tom Bombadil. Best book-to-movie exclusion EVER.

James Spader voice is spectacular

Goofball naysayers! I laugh at you now and will laugh at you later. This is gonna be tremendous! One thing I really like is it's gonna have a strong villain with a ton of character. Something GotG didn't really have. Black Widow back story....Hulkbuster Hulk fight...Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver....are you kidding me!…

Game of Thrones, season 2. Having Arya as Tywin's cupbearer at Harrenhall (instead of Lord Bolton I think in the books?) was a stroke of genius. Charles Dance and Maisie Williams were electrifying together.

Oh easy:

That book is incredible. Combined with Kerbal Space Program, I feel pretty solid in my foundations of orbital mechanics.

It's an important work of literature, which is close enough for me. Honestly, I don't know why this one wasn't immediately elevated to the SF hall of fame. IMO, it's Stephenson's best book, better even than Cryptonomicon (if only because the dénouement is more skillful), and easily rates alongside anything by Isaac…

I'm not solely trying to be contrarian BUT as someone who can completely respect what a monumental piece of filmaking it is, I do think 2001 isn't on some untouchable pedestal from which all other sci-fi films must cower. It is ultimately, for me, a very cold and sterile film. Despite the incredible ambition of the…

This is tricky. "The Best" is not always "The Most Fun To Watch". 2001 is undeniably the best but it's a badly fragmented film, almost like four different films spliced together. There's the 'monkeys get smart' film, the 'flying to the moon' film, the 'computer goes crazy' film, and the 'falling down the space warp'…

I'm very "meh" about this. The John Carter books are not good by any stretch of the imagination. If you read them any time after the age of 13, you won't like them. The movie did a noble job of trying to rise above the source material, but it couldn't escape the stench entirely.
