Without reading the article (yet), how could anyone not assume they likely had pretty good self-esteem? How would having sex on camera indicate low-self esteem? I assumed they had great self-esteem BECAUSE they're having sex on camera. If it was low, you'd be too embarrassed to do it, right?

Just came home from a screening. I liked it. A lot. There's a lot to appreciate in this film, but I think its greatest achievement is that I'm now determined to read the book. There are so many themes and asides hinted at that a movie could never hope include without there being either a persistent narrator or a…

Check the frame by frame analysis story here on io9. They have a screen cap.

I never read the Extremis storyline, but doesn't the Armor become sentient or something? It looks like Tony has developed some kind of remote connection that perhaps he starts dreaming into (hence it jumping onto Pepper in the bedroom because Tony's dreaming she's in trouble) and then eventually it develops its own…

I'm seeing the Hulk in this trailer. I don't think I'm imagining it. There's a short clip of someone walking through rubble with an oversized foot and ripped pants ... This is exciting. It also makes sense, considering that Ruffalo is signed to a few films and there's currently no plans for another stand-alone Hulk…

I thought the title of 'Sir', when Knighted by the Queen, was only to be used while in the UK. Or is that just for Knighted individuals that aren't British subjects?

I am with you, Dave. Although I think our experience running through Times Square would be quick and end painfully. That shit looks real ... I imagine one of New York's finest pulling out his sidearm and emptying the clip! LOL!

Love the Mark 47 Armor—looks like the eventual outcome of his iterative designs and is far enough removed from what we're used to seeing. And remember—the armor is primarily made of gold alloy—so there's no reason why more of it shouldn't be showing.

Pretty awesome list. But I'm even more heartwarmed by the submissions from the readership here. I love being electronically adjacent to fellow Sci-Fi lovers!

Hehe — I know that the movie's 80's aesthetic, over the top violence mixed with comedy has a tendency to over run the underlying satire that runs through the movie. But RoboCop had a lot going on and is really more impressive than it gets credit for, which is why I find the reboot a little chilly and unnecessary—but…

Gunmetal blue for the most part. The clunky, Frankenstein look (that they were clearly going for) is what made the original work. The reboot is eschewing some of that to look neo-futuristic. Or something like that.

Wow. A Dazzler — that's something you rarely see. Congrats!

Cyriaque, I would like to invite you and your fellow io9 writers to write a post describing what exactly constitutes "slutty" in today's era. These costumes seem "sexy" to me (at least in their attempt), but slutty? Your usage begs definition and discussion, especially considering Science Fiction has a long history of…

I watched Arrow on CWs website last night and enjoyed it. For sure, there were a couple of times that I rolled my eyes, but all-in-all it was a genuine effort to be interesting. I've set my DVR.

The first third of the book was uproariously funny to me. I read several passages and dialogue exchanges several times and exploded unfailingly the first two or three times. By the middle third, it began to level out into a more standard tale, and sadly by the end it really went safe (believe it or not considering the…

I would put Weta's Gollum up as proof that a CGI character rendered on top of an actual human being's mo-capped movements as evidence that it can be done full-time. ILM made great strides with their work on Hulk and remember, Ruffalo did at least half the mo-cap work. I don't see why their next attempt can't come…

I think with the success of ILMs work with the Hulk, there is no need whatsoever to actually cast a muscular person to play a muscle-laden character ever again. To cast HHH would be rewinding to the days of cheese that Marvel has attempted to distance themselves from. Since Thanos is not just a muscluar dude, but a…

I thought the movie was great. It was extremely gory and economical—not a single wasted frame and that keeps the movie moving along at a nice clip. The filmakers didn't waste a lot of time trying to invent a backstory for Dredd—he's a cynical badass dispenser of justice, and that's enough. No over-arching political…

*blink* *blink* Is that hair on his chest? Wow—they finally got that obvious detail nailed down. He's looking good. Let's hope the movie isn't idiotic like the first one.

I love everything about it except the hair. He needs bangs.
