Yes please!

Agreed. Also, China and Russia are the only ones with a challenging space program, so I have trouble to get what America's relevance is in this issue.

Well, I'm curious now. Like what?

I heard that it will be confirmed in ASOIAF T9, around 2045. If GRRM hasn't changed his mind meanwhile, considering everybody came to this conclusion a while ago, his pride might be hurt and he might decide that Jaime is the father to "in your face!" us.

—- SPOILERS FROM THE BOOKS —-

They changed the dragon's names in the tv show? In the books, the black one was named Drogon after Khal Drogo.

Charlie Jade, definitely. Parallel universes, wonderful landscapes (it's was Shot in Cape Town, South Africa), scifi noir dealing with mature issues, stylish, surreal, a story that feels more like a novel than a tv show, provocative, very challenging, especially in the beginning when - like the main character - you're…

Ah, Defying Gravity, it had so much potential, a great cast, and some very intriguing concepts, such a shame ... And my heart breaks again.

That's the trouble nowadays: our generation/critics seem to think its able to assess instantly what will remain in movie history as a masterpiece — forgeting how it actually works: a cult movie or masterpiece is not something built entirely for one generation, it's something that transcends its time, and only time…

Well, if you're nostalgic, you can still go to a classical music concert. There, a simple cough will result in half of the crowd watching at you angrily, which I find respectable even if a little bit excessive. Operas are a bit louder, having a less dedicated and more random crowd, half of it coming because it's…

Well, the thing is, the io9 article (especially the pictures) maybe a little bit misleading. If you read the actual NY Time article, you'll realize the author doesn't even mention the word "geek" (he's even obviously wary of the crazy cosplay crowds, having had a bad experience at a screening of the first Lord of the…

Yep. Aren't we all witnessing here a rant about the way knowledge is built since the dawn of times, from people who don't like to have their own 'know it all' ignorance challenged? Maybe I missed the issue of Nature where they established scientifically that thinking and collating ideas wasn't needed anymore since…

Agreed on all counts.

Thank god, some sense into the equation! (happy I've hearted you already)

Yes! And also a good manifest for people who don't care about curiosity or having their views broaden: "you can't know everything, so why bother?"

Agreed. But as long as our society won't change, raising men as leaders and women as shallow princesses — meaning as long as men will think of women as inferiors solely dedicated to their confort, pleasure and reproduction, and as long as most women won't rebel against that fact, instead of embracing it therefore…

"My personal favorite female characters tend to be the ones who use the societal perceptions of their gender roles to their advantage. I think it's a lot more difficult and interesting to write characters that use femininity as armor instead of it being a weakness."

Thanx for sharing. Good luck to you.

Whedon wanted to direct Cabin because it was a great script and a fun project — and he clearly had time to do it, since he was on set the entire time. The reason he didn't? Because it would have felt like going backwards, given that Cabin has a very Buffy feeling to it. It's also a smaller project, and even in 2008…

"Jewish horror flick" ???
