i would agree if it were added as 'stupid-er'

who else is sad Colin Farrell's career is at this point?

Whoa, I just realized reading this that my Asimov worship is a sham! I've ashamedly not read Foundation's Edge. Although the looks of the names strike me as familiar so it probably is a book i started on but never got around to finishing.

Well actually this article was sent around yesterday by my boss at this environmental NGO I work at. He's the gusto kind that likes to illustrate actions over words, so after emailing everyone with the article link said that he would be making a go of it after lunch.

Armstrong seems like a very humble and likable blue collar guy the way this excerpt reads. Might be worth picking up though books like these I don't really go for. I loved Total Recall, hearing the description of the scene using the vertical set now, i'm going to have to drag it up and watch it again just to see what…

its like Die Hard style with the characters sitting down talking without saying a single cuss word. WHY the camera wobble?

just what this mothball town needs, a visualization of it...

If these sabers had been real, it would have needed Jar Jar to run in between them to really have made this post 'This Is Awesome'

A la Legends of the Fall?

jeez, i had a colonoscopy a few months back and i'm surprised the prep didn't flush it out (with some difficulty I would presume). Hearkens back to this Dave Barry article my friends thought would put me at ease before my op.

Hmm, not sure, the Fallen Dragon novel was pretty good as stand alone. The Night's Dawn trilogy would make an awesome teleseries.

potentially an as yet discovered superhero mutation and they already complaining?

not exactly sure how some of his books could be made into movies. Certainly the worlds he creates provide lots of ideas for what a movie could be set in but not exactly sure how you'd film the above...

exactly right, unless we're too old now to know that maybe knowing who the Director is and what he/she's done adds to coolness factor. I'm thinking its just that Thor is so very 80s so its really a dated hero that an older crowd is likely to be more familiar with. Last I heard of Thor was back in the 80s anyway so I…

And may I just say how much of an amazing genius this man was, to be so young and to have written such a legacy that I for one hope will live on forever. At 21 I was still in a drunken stupor most nights at the varsity bar trying to graduate postgrad atmospheric physics.

I started on sci-fi very late in my teens (I was about 16 I think), and like many others here, Asimov was my introduction to the genre thanks to the Robot series. I enjoy his style of writing and to me, its very descriptive in a very direct manner, there aren't any fluffy metaphors to worry about nor inconsequential…

any pink ape means we more than just blew up the planet

just curious, does #@! mean anything? I see you sign off like all the time, so am curious as to the meaning...

i think they really needed either a Jenna Haze or Tori Black to warp things up so to speak

its funny how there are so many articles about crap research which get posted on io9 which don't get slammed on but when its about future porn, there's a well thought out article written in critique of it... our intellect gets challenged by serious attempts at focusing on gutter vision?
