There isn’t a ton of action in Jon Favreau’s Zathura, and the only other noteworthy thing he’d directed at that point was Elf. Louis Leterrier had never done a CGI-heavy movie when he did Incredible Hulk. The closest the Ruossos had was those Community paintball episodes. Super was light fare compared to Guardians of…

Yeah stories about secretly Jewish theater owners teaming up with their black projectionist boyfriends to burn the Nazi elite alive are a dime a dozen.

Lots of movies have lots of long-lead trailers.

Pump your brakes kid, that man is a national treasure.

I usually don't comment on many of the technical issues discussed here in Jalopnik because I'm not very well versed on auto mechanics. However, since I was actually an engineer who worked with hydrogen for the Space Shuttle program (retired now) I cringe a bit at the idea of your local service station getting plumbed…

Thanks for mentioning 70s Sci-Fi Art! I've got a whole tag for space cats. Here's one of my favorites, by keithspangle on Deviant Art.

Not a hater, but a true fan who loved the show the first 3 seasons (parts of 4, maybe), deeply. When Javi left, I dont care what anyone says, the show lost a lot of it's way and the metaphysical aspect that we came for was made into a bad joke. The Lost Experience was a gift and we didnt realize it was Javi's parting…

I don't want to spend too much time defending Ascension from some of the comments being made here (as I obviously haven't seen the show yet), but can we cut it a little bit of slack in terms of the whole "we could never do this in the '60s" business? It's science FICTION - a "what if" alternate history. It looks to…

First Amy Acker a few months ago. Now you get to spend time with Summer Glau? Charlie Jane, I am so totally jealous of how you get such manna from heaven.

That was my first thought, too. I think it's an excellent piece of thinking, but my version would probably have fewer and larger nation-states - less Europe-like, and more Asia-like.

Another set of books that look at this a little bit is Lion's Blood by Steven Barnes.

rekT.

a space opera for 1.1 million dollars an episode with a quarter of that going straight into Kevin Sorbo's pocket

And worse pain was to come. Furry pajamas! When I wrote Waystation I couldn't begin to figure a way to explain that design.

Your comment should really go topside; it's great to hear a voice from the set of a production. And it totally hits that sad-nerve I have for a friend who bowed out of directing due to trauma on the set... him telling me about the production melting down, having wonderful days shooting just to see everything is…

I...I just can't believe you wouldn't see how tone deaf it is to post this today.

On the same day we're all reacting to a horrific video of domestic violence, Jezebel goes and posts this story with this headline, insulting the dignity of a disabled man who was assaulted by his apparent girlfriend and was very nearly run over. What makes this instance of domestic violence any less abhorrent than…

You should listen to your friend Billy Zane. He's a cool dude.
