Thank you, I suppose I am too linear a thinker. But then the characters don't really get to develop fully in the stories before they are interrupted (imo). I just wanted to know whether it was worth picking back up and finishing.

Cloud Atlas is the newest book that I don't get the hype over...I read half off it and put it down one night (with the intent to continue reading) and never picked it up again. The book read as short stories or novellas that had minor references to each other, but otherwise didn't have much in common, that were then…

True, though I think the charisma of Ford, the direction of Spielberg, and writing of Kasdan were all at their apex at that moment in history. Of course that could be my nostalgia running rampant.

Not sure about the acting...Haven't seen him in anything yet. He will be in Expendables 2 with Sly, et al. He could look the part if they go for a young DD movie.

What can they go for? The religious objects were because of the Nazis. But with the progression of the timeline I can only assume that the Communists will continue to be the villains...I don't recall that they were as into the occult as the aforementioned. I think it would work if they went after a religious object…

I think they should look to what drove the making of the original Indy movie...According to Steven and George they were talking about how Steven wanted to make a Bond movie and George said he had a better idea (Indy). Well, why not switch actors and directors and move forward...

So true - Renner is the Action man this year. Hawkeye, MI:4, Bourne Legacy... As for who could play Daredevil, I would like to see a relative unknown or complete unknown. If I need to throw a name then how about Thor's younger brother, Liam Hemsworth?

Agreed...I have a hard time with Jerry O'Connell in anything described as a "gritty" remake of the Munsters. That show was funny and fun, we don't need a lot of blood and gore and drama.

Simply going to reiterate: "I was never a Nintendo fan so it didn't appeal to me on that level..". I never had a Nintendo growing up, I went Pong, Atari 2600, Apple, PC, PS1, Xbox, 360 & PS3. So I didn't have/don't have nostalgia toward those characters. In addition, I play games with my friends online, I don't play…

Simply put - no. But then I never bought a Wii, it was/is a gimmick. Sure it sold more than the other two consoles, it was also significantly cheaper and had Legend of Zelda and Mario. A lot of nostalgia surrounding those two characters. I was never a Nintendo fan so it didn't appeal to me on that level and the fact…

And the new Judge Dredd with Karl Urban will have only the chin viewable...I know that isn't the same but I am sure that a movie could succeed with a faceless character. You could even film it the same way that Darth Vader was - hire a body and then hire a voice (of course Master Chief already has a "voice" they could…

Considering the average life of a console prior to this gen was 5 years, I think they've done a great job extending the viable lifetime of the consoles. In addition, there seems to be a renaissance in PC gaming because of the PC technology surpassing the current consoles, the games that can be made for a PC now are…

Would this failure mean we will be spared a Monopoly movie? Or Stretch Armstrong? Please say yes...

Yeah, I think the #1 reason it wasn't a tv series is Walking Dead...I mean, WD is a strong character driven show with zombies. It has recurring characters you follow through a post apocalyptic landscape. Contrast that with WWZ, which each show or couple of shows would introduce new characters and new situations, no…

I can say that I was at one time involved in the book industry, which sounds somewhat distinguished, but in reality all I did was work part time at a used book store. Or that I was involved in the movie industry, but in reality all I did was manage a Suncoast Motion Picture Company (assistant manage at that). My point…

Interestingly....I sold my copy of DA:O, tried to play it completely through so I would have one character with all of the quests. It bored me. It wasn't nearly as compelling as I had remembered...DA2 I still own and play every once in awhile, it doesn't hold up but the characters are far more interesting than DA:O. I…

It sounded familiar but great application, gave me a laugh to read it. Which, considering I had just finished reading about idiots giving their autistic children bleach enemas, I really needed. Thanks

Truly awesome answer, the line "Mars Sauntering Vaguely Upwards" should be a t-shirt.

WTF...That is just evil! You can't treat a neurological or genetic or, well any, condition with a frakking BLEACH enema!

I remember reading Fahrenheit 451 in high school and suddenly "getting" sci-fi. In that, I had the realization that unlike the books I had read before, science fiction can be fiction you relate to and understand and, in some ways, can understand you. I was reading pure escapist fiction beforehand: superhero comic…
