oh man, i just made the exact same post.
HBO, Hyperion Cantos, please

Yeah... PSS is probably my second pick for movie, but you’ve got to admit, the Grindylow would be bananas on-screen too.

Actually I heard it's already in the making ...

This is the only way to do cyberpunk. Hollywood will inevitably try to make it relevant to “the target audience” by modernising it, and consequently making it a steaming pile of irrelevant crap.

Series plox.

The Bas-Lag series by China Mieville. As long as the political author filibustering can be reined in just a hair, they would be great movies. I mainly want The Scar as a movie.

I got bored with Shadow of the Hegemon and kinda just abandoned the series after that, but then again I wanted science fiction rather than Earth politics with children.

I’ll grant you animated if done in with the same kind of tech of the Appleseed movies. And series, not a movie. 4 seasons, a season per book.

ASAP, before even the swan song of cyberpunk becomes too dated.

Totally Agree, I think live action would just be too complicated a transition!

Excellent choice! Got to be a TV series of some type, too much content to movie them.

I watched it as well - highly recommended. The emperors tomb, allegedly surrounded by a moat of mercury, is yet to be excavated.

I remember taking art history classes in college and being very surprised to find out that the classic Greek statues were originally painted like cheap souvenirs.

Yeah I thought they weren’t going to dig them up anymore til they cracked that problem

Immunologist here.

There is scifi anime retelling of it called Gankutsuou. It was pretty good, and had this really unique art style.

Interestingly, the National Research Council's Committee on GE crops is holding a session on RNAi as part of its lengthy (and spiraling) study on GE Crops. Lots of head scratching in our office as to why so much time is being given to RNAi vs. CRISPR, particularly since the latter would seem to have a lot more…

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but you're right. At least in transformers or Godzilla, there's other things going on. The destruction is a byproduct, masked by the silliness of whatever else is happening. Here, destruction is the point. The point is for us to aaaah and ooooh as real cities and millions…

Yeah, I just don’t really get the driving point of these movies. They are filled with razzle-dazzle CGI that is clearly designed to wow and impress us, and the filmmaking craft is clearly not swinging for any Oscars, and yet the subject matter is, at its core, deeply tragic and monumentally horrific. It’s got one foot…

That actually did happen in Avatar: TLA. Aang was transforming into the Avatar state, and Azula lightning bolted him.
