So tomorrow’s the big day, right? The day when Hollywood’s elite gather and decide what films are the best?

I’m sort of surprised no one’s created one of these yet, but I guess I’m as good a person as any to do so. So here it is, an open thread for discussing the new series/season of Twin Peaks. Spoilers obviously.

Well, this is it folks. We have our winners. Who are the lucky champions?

This is it folks: the final battle. Who will triumph as the dreamiest man and woman of them all? It’s up to you.

Round 2 is over! The semi-finals are here! And boy has this been a tough race. Just two more days to go now.

Day one of Round 2 is over. Now, let’s pull your heartstrings some more with a tough choice between the finalists of Groups 7 and 8.

Round 1 is over! And now it’s time to cut things down to size in the considerably smaller selection for Round 2.

This is it folks: the final day of the first round of our Valentine’s Day bracket. Who among those that remain will move on to Round 2?

We’re halfway done with the first round folks. Just another hundred or so contestants to roll through and then it’s on to Round 2.

Day one is over! The winners have been chosen! And now it’s time for day two.

The nominations have been made! Now it’s time to vote!

There’s no mistaking that the last few months have been kind of a bummer. Heck, the last year maybe. And for many Valentine’s Day is kind of bittersweet. But StrangestMoon and I are looking to make it all better. In honor of everyone’s favorite celebration of libido we’re holding a bracket to determine the fictional…

There are few names in the horror genre bigger than the Alien series. And fewer whose record has been so contentious. After the second film, Aliens, was released in 1986 to the sound of $131 million in unadjusted earnings, 20th Century Fox has regarded the franchise as one of its golden geese, a property worth…

So I have a problem I’m trying to solve for about a day or two that’s been bugging me quite a bit. And I was hoping you sciencey people who helped me out last time I had a problem might be able to help me again. Essentially, I’m trying to create a chart of various different types of rockets for my own personal use,…

It’s that time of the year again, when the veil is thin, the dead come out to play, and for some inexplicable reason everyone decides to dress up as someone else :P . I was planning to post some pictures of my costume anyway so I figured why no make this a place for everyone to do so.

So last weekend I headed over to Rose City Comic Con. For those who are unfamiliar with the event, it’s basically Portland’s local version of San Diego Comic Con. As you might expect, it’s a much smaller event with fewer big names and certainly fewer exclusive reveals but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun in it’s own…

If you’re a fan of Japanese animation (aka anime) you’ve doubtless heard of a few classics held up as the best of the medium. Films and television shows whose place in the history of Japanese culture is widely regarded as secure: Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Spirited Away, to name a few of the most…

If Destroy All Monsters is one of the most renowned Godzilla films, All Monsters Attack (better known in the West as Godzilla’s Revenge) is assuredly among the least. A bizarre turn in the franchise produced on the cheap and self-consciously aimed at children, the film has long laid ignobly at the bottom of many a…

While doing some background research for some of my own writing I often take a look at what the work of those writers which have inspired me, both to examine their process and also to reflect on what it was I liked best about their work. One of those writers is Ronald D. Moore, perhaps most famous today for his work…

As someone with both an interest in religion and futurism I wonder often about the future of spirituality. What will people believe in the coming centuries? How will technology continue to impact religion (and vice versa)? How might the faithful react to the discovery of alien life or the emergence of human-like…
