I haven't read the books and don't watch TV, but I love watching you guys get all worked up about this stuff. Very entertaining.

Bah, Neville should have been. It would have made a better story.

They could troll the shit out of everyone by making it a new direct adaptation of the book instead of a screen adaptation of the musical.

Even ancient man needed puppy snuggles.

A few years back, I was working on a site excavation at Fort Hood (here's a link to a bunch of photos I took during the project). We didn't find a whole heck of a lot during our work, but we did have one interesting feature show up in a backhoe trench (we dig those sometimes so we can get a profile view of what the…

I disagree. His sentiment is that of a writer first and world builder second, Tolkien is the opposite. Both have their place, though I prefer the former. M. John Harrison called world building "the clomping foot of nerdism." I think he's basically right.

My entire life, I have never been able to eat a bowl of cheerios without thinking about this film.

It's just funny to me that after all the furor concerning Spider-Woman's ass, now somebody is worried about her chest.

It's definitely the music that throws it off. It's perfect in the beginning for the melodramatic speech, but the second Rudd does the "hum" the music should have switched to something lighter to show how self aware the film is. I'm hopeful the final product will have a much lighter, heist adventure tone.

Wasn't that just a one-off proof of concept? Didn't think that hallway fight scene was related to the actual movie.

Yes, you are correct. The problem was that they started off subtle, and then hammered it in a couple times just to make sure that everyone got it.

I admire Tyson's work but his arrogance is not befitting a scientist. He seems convinced that his theories are the only ones that count and that's straight-up bad science. I'd hate to see how he reacts when peer reviews don't go his way (scratch that, I'd love to see how he reacts).

Dropped the show after the horribly awkward pilot. Not sure why you guys kept going.

Where is this 'better' concept?

These are terrible.

People can complain about Prometheus all they want, and about some aspects deservedly so, but it looked gorgeous. So a look at a different project doesn't tell us it would have been any better.

I love his visuals (less his storytelling), but nothing about these images look evocative or interesting or even particularly aesthetically pleasing to me.

Maybe it's because I actually like Prometheus a lot, but I don't really want this.

When the majority of gamers are just shooting at shit and watching shit explode and playing as generic gruff voiced buzz cut white guy with a chip on his shoulder and a need to avenge the death of his wife and daughter then the "read a book/go outside" line is absolutely necessary.
