My friend and I were discussing Demolition Man just the other day. The town of Middleborough, MA just voted to make swearing in public a ticketable offense. Actually, the by-law has been on the books in Middleborough since 1968, but in these tough economic times, the ruling smells like an attempt to find alternate…

Are you refering to Retinal Scanning or Iris Recognition? Retinal Scanning utilizes a scanning device that sends a beam of light deep inside the eye to capture an image of the Retina. Glasses or contacts can cause defraction, which make it difficult to obtain a reading. It generally requires the subject to be…

A retinal scanner may be a bit impractical. It does not take into account individuals wearing contacts or glasses (even sun glasses). Facial recognition software is sufficiently advanced enough to achieve a similar result. There is currently an app that allows you to unlock your smart phone by smiling into the…

Two words...Zombie Dinasaurs

Electric Dreams is rather dated, but still an interesting adaptation of Cyrano De Bergerac.

Having had friend who accidently taped over shows on my own VHS tapes, I wonder what would happen if someone taped over the Ring tape and then whatched what they recorded. Would they still die in seven days?

"The film reveals the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora."

Nah, after passing through all those other skulls, the velocity of the bullet wasn't enough to kill her. It just cracked her skull and left her in a coma...annnd cue the Kill Bill music.

It depends if they go for an R rating or aim for the teen demographic (PG-13). Without an R rating, Snow Crash is just Snow Cash, which might make Paramount happy, but will piss me off to no end.

I've come around to the idea that the black goo and the xenomorphs are not directly related. The snake-like creatures which share a biochemistry similar to the face huggers and xenomorphs may be a mutation caused by the bioweapon. I guess it becomes important to consider whether the black goo in the ampoules is the…

Somehow I think this would have worked better as a web series. Use the book as source material and then allow the audiance to help the story evolve, by web funding the story arcs they want to see continue. It would be the internet equivalent of a "choose your own adventure" storybook. Need extras for a scene?…

What about spinning Al Gore's appearances on Futurama into a full length live action movie? Al Gore and the Vice Presidential Action Rangers. It would be somewhere between the Secret Life of Walter Mitty and the The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. :) the tagline...It's all true, give or…

I have long considered the thought that what we term as ghosts are nothing more than residual patterns of energy. Some people are sensative to these energy fields and can therefore preceive them, while those not senstative to these patterns of energy look at them like their crazy.

Must have been thought up by the same people that gave us The Last Legion. I rarely walk out of a movie, but when they used an obvious medieval castle for a Roman fort, I knew it was time to go. The Great Wall sounds like one to avoid.

Myth Busters proved that you could polish a turd, but even then, it's still just a pile of crap. As for the thought of Lindelof punching up the Straczynski's script, I can only shake my head. Given his track record, I guess we can look forward to a scene where something horrible happens to a preganant…

This sounds to me kike just another way for people to not take responsibility for their actions. When I was a kid, we would eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (whole grains and legumes) all the time. We would also be outside playing until the sun went down, instead of plopped down on the couch watching…

My friends and I were joking after the movie about the figures pointing to the star pattern. I wasn't an invitations saying come find us, but a warning...Stay they hell away from this system.

The last stand of Skurge is definitely my favorite, but a close second is the death of Captain Kurtz in Frank Miller's Happy Birthday Martha Washington. It may not be as epic, but it is just as memorable.

Wasn't John Kerry available?

Crais from Farscape might be worth including. Ultimate Kamikaze manuver.
