A good movie version of this for the digital age would one that ends after 20 minutes when the upload goes viral and half the world dies. Fade to black and then "The Ring will return in Rings of the Planet of the Apes"

The weirdest thing here for me is realize that message boards are 20+ years old. Holy crap am I old.

These movies are so disposable that I'd be thrilled and more inclined to see one were they to have cast Bill Dee Williams as the 26 year old Lando. What a blast that would be.

You've obviously confused what I wrote for something you made up in your head.

Seriously? Just as devastating satire becomes more important than at any point in our lifetimes (and literally a weapon, as the Cum-stain in Chief actually reacts to shit like this, to his detriment), South Park says, "Too hard, we're done!"

Still weird. You'd think this is exactly the type of show that could be counted on to build a following over time.

Kind of weird that AVClub would drop a quality Sci-Fi show from their recap rotation, but zippo so far on last night's premiere.

I advised Johnny to snort the ashes, but no one ever listens to me anymore.

Yeah, this was pop history bullshit, but otherwise I've been pleased with most of Timeless's use of history, especially when they highlight more obscure things, such as in the French-Indian War and with Katherine Johnson. But they do exaggerate or invent, as with Ian Flemming (not a field agent) or Rittenhouse (not a…

I'm so there!

Yup. That's what I read. And East of West, Bitch Planet, Private Eye, Paper Girls, Morning Glories, etc.

Fear Itself can be summed up in the bizarre way some possessed by the power (Thing) were treated as victims, while others (dude who was made to attack Paris) were vilified. It was disgusting storytelling, promoting discrimination.

I was just joking

Call Wes Andersen. His Batman would be a bugshit joy.

Yeah, after getting back into comics in a big way in the 2000's, I dumped out of Marvel following the execrable Fear Itself & the deadly dull Heroic Age. I checked out something from time to time (like the very fun Wolverine & The X-Men and the really bad AVX), but eventually I just drifted away. Now I read Image and…

People are weird as fuck. Misogynist, too.

Well put.

Be nice to see them go female, as well, but I'm really not sure they are ever going to cross that bridge.

I'm still really high on Chiwetel Ejiofor, but I doubt they could get him. They had a shot to pick him when they went with Capaldi, but he has since blown up way too big, I'd imagine.
