All this tells me is ... way back in the day, Debbie Harry was so hot that not even being "Geiger'd" could blunt her beauty. I'm proud to have been a devotee back then.

I'm fine with your not agreeing with me, as I don't agree with you. Let's just hope the movie is entertaining.

We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. The alternate reality thing was just a hook to be able to reboot the franchise and I'm not naive enough to not see that. I'm fine with starting over. I just want to have a character I can admire and enjoy seeing in action again.

The difference between what you see as a retcon and what I see as a retcon hinges on whether you're looking at it from within the universe or from outside it as a fan. Looking at it as a Star Trek fan, this is a retroactive continuity change—what I think the character is is now different when viewing it outside the…

Oh, I think its the latter concept.

Hmm ... this retconning of Kirk into a man-child who needs to grow-up is depressing. Kirk's problem wasn't that he wasn't serious—it was the opposite. The man was cocky as Hell because he was good. He was overaggressive, not lacking seriousness. This is one of the main ideas borne out of STII:TWOK. He doesn't like to…

I have to jump on this bandwagon. Even if they come up with an amazing Ant Man movie, I doubt it will make Marvel very much money. Its going to have to be about more than shrinking and growing ... that sounds like some 1950's stuff.

I understand what you're saying, but you're not on the same page with me. What you describe Gordon doing is in a CARTOON, not live-action. Also, taking down a cop or two is fine as well. But for what monkeybusiness is calling for would require a large percentage of cops to need straightening out, otherwise you can't…

Okay, that is a hilarious post, Serenada. I laughed out loud at work. People are staring.

In response to the title of the article, we're talking about human beings right? When DO they follow orders?

Not on the level of Robocop it isn't. Unless they plan on toning things way, way down. You did see the original, right? Robocop unloading that cannon on a bunch of cops is likely to raise the PC Police.

So the antagonists are the police force? He's going to go to war with the Police? I don't see that happening ... not from Hollywood these days, would require too much courage.

I don't watch any network television these days (except FRINGE), but I saw the previews for 666 Park Avenue during the NBA Playoffs and I assumed it was going to be a Dark Fantasy Island—assholes check into a swank hotel and have their asses kicked straight (or maybe they even die) in a macabre fantasy orchestrated by…

Saw it tonight. Loved it! That hair really steals the show.

I have recently tried to teach a white co-worker how to speak inner-city English with hilarious results. It caused me to really concentrate on how to make the sounds that come naturally to me when I want—but since I don't use it very often, its harder for me to make reliably. Consider this phrase:

Its interesting that this dialogue is reminiscent of dialogue from Ridley Scott's other HUGE film property (that he's also developing a sequel for).

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU TOOK THE BAIT!

Exactly! This was the gist of my initial comment. I find it fascinating that such a social condition continues to exist in the 21st century. I realize that's a grandiose and self-serving statement, but I'm genuinely fascinated by all forms of closeted culture.

Me too! But only if it makes me grow to be 9ft tall, green and really muscled.

Well played! Will you be my captain?
