At this point I’d settle for a comicbook.

I’ve read that King will okay any story that pays his fee. His thinking is that he made his story the way he wanted it.....If someone makes a shitty adaptation, he still has his story the way he wanted it. He’s upset with the original Shining because he wrote a legitimate treatment, and they blew it off. I didn’t know…

Agreed on “Wild Wild West.” It seemed to match the series’ shifting tone as well.

Re: HL2E3:

It’s perfect as far as I’m concerned. You get the implication that the Combine are simply too massive and powerful for the efforts of Earth to have done anything to harm them in the long run, which just drives home the “Multidimensional Corporate Space Overlords” theme even harder. Earth might’ve bucked the…

If you have syfy, the old IT miniseries is going to be on tomorrow evening at 6 (central.) You might want to give it a try (if you haven’t seen it,) you’ll know the story (if you don’t already,) true...but you’ll also have something other than the book to compare the new movie to when it comes out. I haven’t seen it…

They could do what Sega did with Sonic Mania and let qualified fans officially make it.

No. He seems to think that HE needs three more Avatar movies. The world will comsume them if they get made but Avatar and its sequels are vanity projects.

Yeah some of the special effects were neat. Plus it had a much more cohesive narrative, as it wasn’t Kubrick, and it was a great deal longer.

I missed the reference, but that would be The Dark Tower series.

There were definitely things about that version of The Shining I liked; the topiaries moving were very cool.

Here’s my thinking: if Brooker himself believed San Junipero was truly paradise, he could have ended the episode with the girls driving off together, but he didn’t. Instead, he specifically choose to cut from their “happy ending” back to the reality of the server farm. It was important to him, as the filmmaker, to…

1408 was a short story. A creepy one, and one of the ones that’s only “okay....ish” but they (whoever they were) managed to make a rather fun movie out of it, it really was much better than I was expecting. The Crimson King is kind of a big...er...D&D terms seem like they’ll work best here, I think. He’s the…

White Christmas might be difficult to compare, as it’s longer than the others and was a standalone special rather than part of a season, but it’s quite good. And now Jon Hamm is in a version of Be Right Back*!

Where is the episode where the world gets converted to Kinja?

I imagine he sold the rights to most of these decades ago and now, when an ad for one pops up on his 125" tv screen he has a moment of “Oh, I’d totally forgotten about that one”

I mean I guess Trek parodies have always been popular but they seem to be coming at us at fast frequency these days. Particularly ones that look like they’ve but some money behind them. I’m at the last third of my Original Series rewatch/run-through that’s taken over a year (I know...) so this is right up my alley.

Local co-op, too!

There definitely is a crossover point for these people in terms of level of success and being part of the actual real world. They reach a certain amount of wealth and fame and they just don´t interact with the world like normal people anymore. It´s like Dr Manhatten in Watchmen losing touch with humanity after gaining…

I think I mentioned this last week but, if you have a PS3, Resistance 3 is worth checking out.

So very sad. What happened, Valve? Was it too ambitious? Is DOTA 2 really so fabulous that you’d drop everything that wasn’t associated with it?
