Tobe Hooper’s Lifeforce > Colin Wilson’s The Space Vampires. There. I said it.

Stand-up comics talk about graphic sexual material and masturbation all the time. It doesn’t mean they do what Louis CK did off the stage. No one has “that guy masturbates in front of people” radar.

Though I certainly never got that far in the arcade version, I have a distinct memory of a huge crowd of people in the arcade gathered around some guy who was on the final dragon level. I had to hop up and down to get glimpses of it, but I was astonished someone had gotten that far, and for that moment, that arcade…

They inserted that info in the opening credits to keep the answer about Deckard ambiguous. It gives the audience an out to justify that Deckard is a replicant, but it doesn’t mean that he is a Nexus 8. This is one of the things I liked about the movie - it didn’t force an answer on the audience about Deckard, but gave…

I agree it doesn’t hurt, but rather enhances the story that Deckard might be a replicant. The story of the first film slowly brings Deckard on the journey of accepting his quarry as being more than just machines. To have the final revelation that he MIGHT not be human either is the next step on his journey, to…

The unicorn footage was supposed to be part of the original film but was cut, so yes, it was always Scott’s plan to imply that Deckard was a replicant (or at least raise the possibility). Obviously this didn’t make it along the bumpy road to the theatrical cut, removing that ambiguity and leaving little evidence that…

I saw it last night, and while I think they could have cut some things, in general I am glad this was a long film. It gave the story lots of time to develop all of its ideas (there is actually more going on in this film, story-wise, than the first). Still, it definitely has that same pace as the original film, which…

Yeah, this is my point - he didn’t really get to know Cowboy Bebop, even though he thinks he saw enough. Again, I am not a Cowboy Bebop fan (I’ve watched it all the way through, though), so I am not the one to sell it to O’Neal. But if you are going to set yourself up for writing this article, and only expose yourself…

If you want to flunk the class, sure. That was my point. I pulled the example at random.

Although I also gave Cowboy Bebop a college try and never really took to it, I will say that Sean’s model is a bit flawed if he can just bail on something. I mean, let’s take the term literally and pretend this is a college course and you’ve been assigned something. You can’t just stop reading Pride and Prejudice…

Commercials have been playing pretty frequently on network television. The problem with the trailers is that it emphasizes this idea that when they come back from the dead they have special abilities. It looks like another one of those “unlocked the brain’s full potential!” movies, not a horror film. Granted, from…

I consider ninjas to be an early-80's thing; at least, that’s when it peaked. My early 80's childhood was inundated with very bad ninja movies, controversies over banning throwing stars, ninjas being introduced in Marvel Comics, etc.

When I was in college I had my wisdom teeth removed and was still pretty dental-drugged up when I went home and my mom showed me the live action “Casper” movie, which she thought I’d want to see for some reason. And I started choking up at the end because Christina Ricci couldn’t get with the CG ghost.

“I don’t do any material that borders on pornography yet.” That is a priceless use of “yet.”

My wife and I both thought it was Justin Timberlake playing Conor McGregor.

I’m not sure how to fix it using the Gizmodo design structure, but one thing I never liked about sites like io9 is that the headlines and images would be spoiling TV shows I wasn’t caught up on, like GoT. Now the AV Club is spoiling Defenders for me (I’ve only watched the first episode so far...loser that I am). In…

I think the religious theme does make Life of Brian less popular in the US (though I’ve met Christians who like the film). Look, we’ve got some hang-ups over here.

Perhaps our British commentariat can weigh in, but I always got the impression that Life of Brian was far more popular in the UK than it was in the US. Here in the States, it seems like Holy Grail is brought up all the time and Brian is seldom discussed. (I think it was smart of Eric Idle to pick Holy Grail as the…

Yes, I was all focused on the new commenting system coming up and didn’t realize the whole site would look exactly like other Gizmodo sites (but of course it would). I miss the TV Club page and search screen where I could look for TV shows. But maybe it’s here somewhere. I don’t know.

Independent's OK and we'll let the dog off the hook for being a Mexican. No impeachment yet.
