It never fails to amuse me that the "Big Bang" theory was the product of a Belgian priest.

I have a feeling someone is going to latch onto the "become a nerd" one to go on a tirade about how being a nerd isn't something you're supposed to aspire to and how trendy hipsters are ruining nerd culture.
I like that they're moving out of Republic City, but I have a feeling they're going to leave the bender/non-bender issue dangling. That the Equalist leader turns out to be a sham is not a good reason for bender/non-bender tensions to resolve themselves.
Who wants to see this guy again, and maybe kick his ass?
There's also, for want of a better word, a twinkle in the way Chapman, Cleese and Idle deliver their lines even when they're playing a scene relatively straight: they're not so much delivering lines seriously as they're delivering them with a kind of exaggerated seriousness, a knowing dash of self-righteous…
I love when you guys review theater, and I love that there's more and more theater that falls into io9's wheelhouse.
Reminds me of the Star Wars scene in Reign of Fire.
Plenty of science fiction shows us the political and social fallout of an apocalypse. But what will the end times…
Wow, your friend is a jerk who deserves to wake up alone.
I'm glad the studios edited out the Director's Cut ending. It was a bummer.
Every description and name in this book screams grit. There is probably even a neighbourhood call Grit Marsh or something in New Corbuzon.
The point of Robocop was not to be slick or pretty! In fact, it was quite the opposite.
Steampunky sci-fantasy gothic urban horror. Or something. I believe the formal classification ended up being "The New Weird". Man, I really do hope we get a return to Bas-Lag some day.
I really don't think that's fair. Archie is considered stodgy and old-fashioned, but they've really stepped up to the plate lately. Life With Archie has Kevin running for Senate on a gun-control patform after his husband is shot. Neither DC or Marvel would have the guts for that.
Imagine sitting at home being unemployed and suddenly you get an interview. Finally! Yay! Maybe this time I will get a job and all my problems will be solved? NOPE! Prank time.
Dear entertainment industry,
Meet Jon Hamm everybody...
