Thank you Ms. Newitz, this was exactly what I needed to cheer me up on an extremely rotten day! I love that video loop!!!!

"I felt like when I looked at these guys, because we shot in Louisiana in the middle of the summer, when I looked in their eyes they'd looked exhausted, like they'd been to hell and back."

awesome, ta much

shot, thanks. Just makes me wonder if perhaps io9 couldn't also run a submissions section where fan fic could run.

Pretty great site. Is there an equivalent or counterpart for sci-fi?

not seen much footage of the show (is there any that exist?), but the news bits i've read have been on the usual accidents etc which the media seem more focused on for obvious reasons.

Actually, you make a good point and raise an interesting topic of discussion. Has there been an effort of thought or discussion to support how the Empire could have maintained their control, slowly reeling in the Rebels yet putting in place gradually policies and measures that would have created a stable universe…

Or maybe it was that Del Toro had cast good ol' el torro himself (the one currently plaguing the news with his 'I'm winning' rants) as the lead instead of Mr. Jerry McGuire!

If it was indeed a valid question, the next one would then be: who's rod was it went through his head?

Hmmm, I'd probably put this just behind Rendezvous with Rama, and just ahead of the Foundation series.

CGI ppl, CGI is our only solution to getting the movies we want to get made. Big name directors, big name actors only serve to inflate the budget and hype and let us down with the resulting poofy content.

that was pretty darn cool. beats the Sports Illustrated bodypaints easy...

service to the family is the best translation i can offer to describe the cultural significance.

Why the surprise? Cali has always been a source of stars, full of themselves for sure but starts nonetheless!

the truth is

While it ran for 3 seasons, I'm still pretty glad this show didn't make your list! This show does not get enough love around here.

My 86 year old meemaw would shoot me with her double barrel shotgun if ever i gave her something like that... probably twice to be sure too

Hey! I thought Sixth Sense ended happily!

fuck
