The anime is extremely good. Since you're so amped for this version, I suggest you hold off watching, lest you feel the same pangs of disappointment that I do.

You'd expect them to remove most of the child porno from the story, but couldn't they have maintained the part where she was raised by her parents' killer, only she didn't know?

News flash: Bill Gates looked like a total doofus when he was 23. That doesn't invalidate his actual talent, nor the relevance of his entire industry.

So if your boss decides that what you do doesn't constitute as real work, then he can stop paying you too? Awesome!

... and these guys get paid MORE to sit on their ass and play video games.

Hollywood has romanticized the EMP far too much. In reality, you'd still need to knock out a lot of connections, made doubly difficult by the inherent redundancies and decentralization of the Internet. You can't knock out the "right" servers when there's duplication and mirroring involved. The most you can do is keep…

Well, that's war for you. A lot of knowledge gets destroyed whenever a city gets sacked.

We should be thankful we have a decentralized information system like the Internet now. It would take sustained nuclear blasts at multiple locations to kill off all of our collective knowledge right now.

I'd disagree with putting 5, 7 and 10 in the bad pile. 5 and 7 had several good character moments for Jeff (and Pierce, of all people), 10 had ambitious cinematography that was ultimately hampered by schedule conflicts. I wouldn't call them unwatchable, just... ok.

Nah. Doesn't work for me. Kung Fury did a better, more imposing Thor, and theirs was an old geezer.

If this thing has any faults, it's that the effects are too good. There's no way they could've pulled off half of this stuff back in the 80's.

Actually, they can. Just watch every single DC Animated direct-to-video production. More often than not, it's either a straight-up interpretation of a bestselling comic, or it's a smart adaptation of what is considered unfilmable. Hell, Batman: the Animated Series and JLU have been doing it for decades.

No, she meant bar mitzvah, the Jewish celebration of a young boy's acceptance into adulthood.

I think it's difficult for DC to figure out how to launch this character in the wake of Superman's resurgence…

REGENERATION IS NOT A WEAPON! I repeat, regeneration is NOT a weapon!

Yeah, if only they'd shot the X-Men films during his prime. It was either him or Dolph Lundgren, really.

I prefer Trash myself, for a couple of reasons:

Especially since interviews with Del Toro have leaned more towards sequel then prequel.

... and speak in such proper posh accents...

It had a 52-episode run, which is a full years' worth of episodes. So be prepared to die inside a lot.

You mean Tumblr. The rest of the Internet isn't hung up on Tennant. Pun intended.
