Really? I watched Spider-man 2 and was surprised by how badly some of it had aged. Also some of the effects looked shoddy. At one point spidey is clearly saving digital people who have no faces.

I am currently sitting in my ivory tower, judging you heavily. There was only one fight scene in the entire movie and it pretty much turned out to be a dream. And apparently vampires can be decapitated by a strong wind.

They found this CGI baby at the very bottom of the uncanny valley.

Favourite moment of last night's Parks & Rec: April, Anne and Donna singing "Time after Time"
Also Paths of Glory is a great movie, everyone should rent it from their soon-to-be-out-of-business art-house video store. Or watch it for free on the Internet.

Cardassians is the soft c. Cardy is the hard c.

Wait a second? Spoonheads? Cardassians?!? Have we learned nothing about Star Trek/Doctor Who crossovers?!?

To be fair, neither Vanilla Ice, nor the aged middle manager of JJB sports were zeroes. Both of them were negative numbers.

Yeah, it was great. It was another of their "well, this may literally be our last episode, let's treat it that way" episodes. In a perverse way, i think the near cancellations that cause these episodes have helped them as they wrap up plotlines fairly quickly and advance onto new stuff.
That Cool as Ice Rifftrax was astounding. The "This movie is more 90s than..." bits and the "that's got to be worth a dozen restraining orders" were my favourite riffs.
I'm just agog. Someone actually thought this would make money. Vanilla Ice, at his most douchtastic was meant to be the hero! The cinematographer went on to work for Steven Spielberg on Schindler's List and then every Spielberg production after it (though to be fair, the guy did about as well as he could with the material).

I thought they'd fallen out. Well, i guess money can heal any broken friendship. To be fair to Fox, she was pretty good in This is 40.
Also, Rhetta's singing last night on Parks & Rec was

According to Alice Eve
Cumberbatch is NOT playing Khan.
-
At this point, I'm fully aware that Cumberbatch won't be playing Gary Mitchell, but I'm still holding onto hope that he won't be Khan either. The second movie really established Khan in pop culture, far more so than The Space Seed did. until Wrath of Khan, Khan was just another Star Trek villain like Charlie X or Kang or a Gorn. I was really hoping that it would be Gary Mitchell or some other minor villain from the original series so that they could explore the potential of a character who was previously over and done with in 45 minutes in the same way Khan was.
That said, i'm still going to watch this movie and I'll probably have a lot of fun while doing so.
Non-board related fact: my sister-in-law's due date is around about the time of the release of this film. my brother's already told her that he's going to be watching this film no matter what.
-
The first two series are utterly tremendous, with this being the highlight of it.
-
What I understood from the last couple of episodes of the Office is that Brian the Boom Mic guy should have allowed Pam to be beaten to a pulp if he wanted to keep his job.
-
They actually do some really great work with the structure and it's come up with some pretty great jokes, even this late in its run (the confetti joke was one of my favourite jokes on Tv this year)
-
HIMYM is a very odd case where it's ratings have actually improved as time has gone on, thanks to the syndication deals. That's why CBS were so desperate for a ninth season, even though story wise it seems like Ted will end up knocking up the kids' mom on his second date with her.

I got the Essential Howard the Duck a few years a go (a few, it was 10! I am fucking old!)
Great series, which makes the film even weirder by comparison.

To encourage comic shops to order a large number of second issues. Generally retailers would order lots odd number 1s and then a small number of second issues. By introducing variant second issues they hoped to help series build and maintain an audience.

Just watched the first episode and going to watch the second shortly. Fantastic first episode, amazing visual style and really sharp writing. It's about a society twenty minutes from now where a group of forum members meet up to discuss the unpublished sequel to a famous comic from the 80s. meanwhile two killers are going around trying to find a woman named Jessica hinde. There's also background details about a global food shortage, a civil servant who had been blackmailed into buying a huge amount of a vaccine and lots more. If you like your sci fi bleak and smart, I'd recommend this show.
-
I really thought that might be the case.I think that 2000ad just took advantage over the hysteria for some easy publicity. Williams is a quality writer, so I had no doubt that this would be a smart story.
-
ha! This story has been making the rounds all day. Most 2000AD fans seem pretty cool with it and are just waiting to read the story. Some people are VEEERRRRYYYYY upset over it though and one guy threatened to burn his copy in protest and he wasn't being hyperbolic. Sure they can accept that a major icon in British comics is a septegenarian ultrafascist American virgin with a kill count of nearly a billion, but show him kissing a man and some people treat it as humanity's greatest crime!

- Sci fi trappings
- engrossing characters
- vague mystical, magic mumbo jumbo that can really help the plot along.
Yep, JJ Abrahms is a perfect fit for Star Wars. No sarcasm here, i think he's really an ideal choice.

Probably should be stated that, while there's been bad episodes of Doctor Who, there's never been a bad Doctor. Every one of them has brought something different to the role and every one of them has done well with it (though with Doctors 6 and 8, the Big Finish stuff has been more helpful with it). McCoy gets a bad rap because he was the Doctor when the show went off the air, but the BBC was determined to kill it at that point any way after Michael Grade's regime of terror. Andrew Cartmell had tried his best to make it more intriguing, but it was equivalent to WCW's dying days where it didn't matter how good the shows were, the damage had been done.
One thing I really appreciated about McCoy's run was that Ace was a much more active companion. She's very much an anachronism of the 80s (the leather jacket, the beatbox) but she was surprisingly complex and flawed and more than a little ballsy (can't imagine any other companion before or since taking a baseball bat, even one modified by the Doctor to a Dalek). Her sole purpose wasn't just to ask the Doctor questions thereby giving him an indirect method of explaining things to the audience.
