"Reality television makes us strong!"

That picture up there looks awfully familiar.

I think what would put SyFy "on the map" again is a series based on an extended novel anthology based on the works of a well-known author, but as "Game of Thrones" shows this is simply not doable on a reasonable budget. Gone are the days you could sell a "Dr Who"-type cheap-set drama even with good stories and…

I'm more disappointed that Peter Jackson decided to make "The Hobbit" a trilogy, meaning it might be 6 years before he starts work on Temaraire.

I don't know how well-known (or not) this is, but according to IMDB.com, Gert Fröbe (a/k/a Auric Goldfinger) spoke so little English that his dialogue was dubbed by another actor, Michael Collins.

A virus!

Picasso,

...and with this new Barbara Carerra hat, you'll Never Say Never Again to DirecTV!

A lot of Moonraker seemed intentionally tounge-in-cheeky, making fun of Superman, Star Wars, 80's pop culture. Critically blasted, but one of my faves, thanks to that awesome John Barry score.

"Aqaba, from the desert!"

Add to Moonraker those post-apocalyptic Kill-Bill jumpsuits.

Seems the primary obstacle to Chinese Superpower status is their own hierarchy and it's propensity to try to socially re-engineer itself to the extent of rewriting it's own history and culture (like Mao's Cultural Revolution) or failing to take advantage of its own vast creative knowledge pool for the sake of the…

It's only a matter of time before Dreamworks treats us to "Bee-I-Joe Movie".

So this is what happened to Ultros and Relm after Final Fantasy VI (III-SNES)?

Actually, isn't the very concept of fanciful "anthropomorphization of beasts" a uniquely human thing? On the other hand, didn't God once use a talking ass (donkey) to prove a point to someunsavory fellow named Balaam? What might be offensive is how it can be abused, but sadly that's another uniquely "human" thing as…

Sandy is coming...

I don't know about you, Joss, but I'm ready for some "Romnenity".

I was lucky enough to see "Watership Down" during its very short US theatrical run around 1978. By then I was a very jaded, image-conscious, 15 year-old who thought "cartoons were for kids", but Watership Down was the first cartoo—no—animated film that was so well done in the story, awesome music, and lush…

Add to that another semi-spoiler: in the book the person who sold Snitter (the Jack Russel) to the animal lab behind his owner's back while he was in hospital (and was his sister no less) was "busted" by the reporter and thoroughly chewed-out for it (one of my favorite scenes in the book—also cut)! (btw—the Lab's…
