I certainly didn't remember the rockin 90s ski wear.

Gambit was my favorite Xman as a kid, but I can only to seem to remember him for one scene from the cartoon…where he's falling down a ski slope, grabs a tree and accidentally bursts it into flames, and utters, "Gambit don't like this vacation!"
To this day, I'm not even sure that actually happened.

Where are the weekend schlubs in any scifi universe? Hauling out their galactic fishing boats for space fishing? Or racing their ultronian speedboats?
How about future reenactors puttering along in a historic reconstruction of SS Ninapintmaria's historical jaunt from the moon to ice colonies of Neptune?

There's an ongoing debate between me and my friends over whether or not signatures should be legible.
I say no, being distinctive is more important (mine is a scribble that looks like a pair of big Zs, even though my initials are CT).
Good to see Luke Skywalker agrees.

Ghost in the..? No! Nooo! Heresy! Blasphemy! May the media gods strike them a pox of mediocrity and tepid audience response!

Regardless of denomination, let us all link hands and pray that Americanized, live action anime never becomes a movie trend.
Dear Lord, mainstream anime and Hollywood are both so terrible…let them never join in union!

Wrong author! Though Junji Ito is also a master of creative, Japanese horror manga. So much more than just Uzumaki!

How bad is it, pop culture wise, that I never bothered to see the original? Is it really a classic? Am I criminally deprived?

If you want a book about "real" Japanese hauntings, check out the manga Fuan no Tane (readily available online). It's quicky 2-4 page stories about supposedly true ghost encounters and urban legands, and is pure, high grade nightmare fuel.

Agreed. As much as I love the Room, most of the monsters were a bit lackluster (except the twins, of course *shudders). Shattered Memories only really had one monster, and Homecoming tried, but just couldn't capture that old magic.

It's definitely a very unique game. It tried to approach the genre from a whole different angle. Unfortunately part of that meant replacing combat with chase sequences—a decent idea that didn't translate well in practice, especially with Wii controls.
It also isn't a "real" Silent Hill, more of a SH inspired…

In my (controversial) opinion there has yet to be a bad (major) Silent Hill game.
4 is an underrated masterpiece that gave me more nightmares than any game, ever.
Shattered Memories was bad in execution in a lot of ways, but was about the most ambitious horror game ever in terms of narrative.
And Homecoming…well, it…

At this point, how about a five minute reboot where a second Terminator shows up two minutes after the death of the first, kills Sarah Connor, and it all just stops. Skynet wins, the machines establish a happy rob-topia on Earth, and it all just stops.

Mm, even for the sake of irony, this is pretty weak to toss in the newsfeed.
"Ramsay Insists Cat Meat Will Feature Heavily in Next Season of MasterCheff!"
Now that's a headline.

I recall Dan Savage's moral objection to his son watching the Suite Life because one of the little boys is a creepy, womanizing, wannabe pig.
And so the same writers are still writing the same kind of characters. 'Cause nothing is more entertaining than a horny little boy spouting come-ons written by a middle aged man.
B…

My first Playstation game…along with a Jurassic Park game where you played as a compy, human, raptor, and Rex.
The human was best. He had a grapple gun.

So, zombie Lady Liberty, half-buried in the sand? "You went and zombie did it! You zombie blew it up"

Got excited there for a sec when I saw a Del Toro was attached to Star Wars..
Wrong one, though.

I'm glad this show is back.
We could use more networks trying out international comedies, and less Crime Investigation: Senior Pandering Unit (SPU!) shows.

Beats the hell out of the time he showed up roaming the halls as Edward Scissorhands, to say nothing of his misguided appearances as the Astronaut's Wife's husband.
