I wish the articles talked more about the science behind how the roach translates the commands into action. I remember reading somewhere about… I think it was also a roach… but some simple animal that was being ordered around by a chip that faked out its brain so it was really reacting to avoid illusory 'walls'.…

I tend towards periods myself, although I imagine elipses would probably do the trick if you —unlike me— tend not to [ab]use them in every other context in which they were remotely applicable.

I meant… Gandhi…

While I like the Dino Nuggets suggestion, I have to assume that, given the size of most of these animals, serving them in a recognizable fashion would probably be inefficient and wasteful. Unless you're ordering for a large group, a lot of your Ornithomimus Drumstick is probably going either in the garbage or in a…

"Don't leave your children unattended. Otherwise the carnivores get a free kids meal also!"

I just can't picture the Dean not being the one dressing out of gender. If any of the guys are going to be sexy lady spies, it's going to be him (though, in all honesty, I'd peg him as Phoenix if we had the whole Marvelverse to work with, or possibly Pepper Potts…)

That's kinda what we got in 1602, minus the star (though at the end, he did give himself some Captain-America's-Cowl-inspired warpaint)…

SPOILERS BELOW (if you haven't read Marvel 1602, and if so, you should…)

Well, I think that's kinda the point of #2. You can't just assume that because you're slapping the label of a beloved classic from your childhood on your movie that it's just going to automatically be as great as you remember it. You still have to make a good, solid Six Million Dollar Man movie or whatever. It's not…

I actually kinda like the idea of a kid and his crappy —yet deadly and animate— Christmas present going out to get revenge for a ruined Christmas, which is the plot that Marvin the Martian footage seems to set up, but I fail to see how it benefits from being Marvin the Martian. It also leaves so many questions…

Planets almost but not quite entirely unlike Earth?

As a current retail employee, I've often fantasized about an automated retail environment, and would be totally cool with reverting (side-verting?) to some crazy, broke, futuristic Bohemian-type while robots deal with inventory and obnoxious customers and refunds…

I love the candy cane "Thing to help people escape really fast if there's a problem and everything is on fire so they decide not to go to space." (XKCD was the first Saturn V blueprint I could think of to figure out what that piece was…)

I would've just guessed it was because a little extra moisture feels good, man…

Well done.

No love for Titan's river? That was my Space Porn highlight of 2012.

Obviously if anyone can sneak back into the group, it's Chang…

Come on! Come on! Top hat as a permanent addition to #11's wardrobe!

So bone up before the next time you need to teach your son about how lions don't concern themselves with the opinions of the sheep.

For those that were wondering (as I was) about getting the shots of the cities darkened, the Le Journal de la Photographie article has a brief description. I assume there's some slight alteration that they've neglected to mention:
