]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on The "Jumper" You Didn't See]]> You can't lose by making movies based on juvenile fantasies.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Return to the Future Past of "Gamma World"]]> Gamma world was Science Fantasy - not Science Fiction. Just D&D with randomly generated creatures.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Meet the First Realistic Martian Woman]]> Dune

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Neuro-Tourism In Charlie Kaufman's Movies]]> The problem is that most really innovation scifi concepts works as books - but not films.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on A Childless World Turns To A Sewer -- Hopefully Without Hair-Flipping]]> Who's foolish enough to think that the species will continue?

And it wasn't a brilliant film - it didn't even have a story. It was a just a nicely shot vision of a dystopian future.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on The Midget Mafia Of Atlantis Demands A Woman-On-Woman Cage Match]]> The 80s were the peak of human civilization.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Director Who Revitalized Westerns Turns His Single Eye To Scifi]]> Since when are simplistic (though prettily drawn) answers the same as tough questions?

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on She'll Be Back: Terminator Renewed?]]> Who knows the answers to those questions? Certainly not the writers - they are just making it up as they go.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Jericho's Attack On Corporate Dominance, Sponsored By Sprint]]> Corporate nation or ObamaNation? What a choice.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Why Battlestar Galactica is the Best Political Drama on TV]]> Don't use a bad tv show as a metaphor for simplistic and childish liberal politics.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on How to Jumpstart a Moon Colony From Your Bedroom]]> The Biodome project was destroyed by short-sighted and jealous scientists who saw it as a threat to their myopic disciplines - and by the media who made it a public joke.

So it put the Human race 20 years behind in space exploration. So what? It gave Pauli Shore work.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on What Do You Think About the New Afrofuturism?]]> Hispanics are the future of the US. Chinese are the future of the world.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Sleep, Obey, Consume, and Watch "They Live"]]> You all look like that to me.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Top Five High-Tech Lairs of Evil Masterminds (OK, a Few Good Masterminds Too)]]> How come the Fortress of Solitude Playset looks like the break room at an Office Depot?

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on War Is All Women's Fault]]> Of course, it couldn't be that Iraq was about destroying a megalomaniac dictator responsible for mass genocide, who was a direct threat to the world's oil supply, and who was toying with the UN so that he actually could get nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. No, that would require something other than a pathetic juvenile awareness of history and world events.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Post-Post-Apocalyptic Comic Book Explores Life After the Aliens Leave Us]]> Mediocre art, profanity, and the same old middle-school-level ennui. How could it fail?

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Robo Supply Units Can Harm Or Heal]]> Lego goes to war?

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Can You Escape Your Fate? Science Fiction Has The Answer!]]> Apparently, none of these writers have ever heard of quantum theory or non-linear systems.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Amanda Tapping Creates A Safe Space For Mutants To Just Be Themselves]]> Could they make it any murkier? I can still make out the actors in a couple of those scenes.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Scariest Special Effect Ever Created (NSFW)]]> That's almost as scary as Leprechaun 4.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Violating Your Civil Rights Makes Torchwood Crew Horny]]> Torchwood is just not very good - nowhere close to Doctor Who. I don't have time to waste on mediocrity.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Bullet In The Head Not The End For X-Man]]> That's why I don't read comics any more. They make the plotline of Dallas believable.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Diving Into the Russian Nuclear Sub Wreck]]> You now, the irony is that the sub was only 350 feet down - while it was 450 feet long. All they had to do was raise up the rear to near the surface to save the men.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on The Most Outrageous Star Trek Parody Ever]]> The sickness of liberalism is a direct result of the Cold War. Three generations of the First World grew up in a world "at peace" - conveniently oblivious both to the fact that the Cold War was, in fact, a real war (World War III), and that the peace and safety they enjoyed was, paradoxically, due to the nuclear umbrella that shielded them. With the end of the Cold War and the coming proliferation of Nuclear and Biological weapons among terrorists and rogue states, we can no longer afford such simplistic and self-destructive world views. The liberals in Europe and the US are now nothing but pawns to international terrorists who now dictate the politics of the entire First World.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on First Look At New Enterprise]]> The first trek movie got hung up on ship worship and bad melodrama.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on First Look At New Enterprise]]> I seem to remember the first Trek movie getting hung up on ship worship and bad melodrama.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Will We Hold Robots Accountable for War Crimes?]]> "War Crimes" is just liberal-speak for their childish and hypocritical anti-war politics - which always lead to more death and destruction in the long term.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Five Not-Entirely-Sarcastic Reasons to Watch SciFi's "Flash Gordon"]]> What disturbs me are all the gay references that come up when you search for Flash Gordon.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on We're Starting To Think Cloverfield Has No Monster]]> Obviously Cloverfield isn't just a metaphor for the government playing on post-9/11 fears. There is no monster because it's all a government plot - just like 9/11.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on The Dark Knight Mashed Up with the Campy Knight of 1966]]> Considering that Batman Begins was one of the worst movies ever made, at least the advertising campaign for Dark Knight is interesting. But I don't hold out any hope for the movie.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Secrets Of Battlestar Season Four Betrayed In New Photo]]> Why is it that Science Fiction now can only be successful if it incorporates juvenile metaphysics?

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Six Reasons Why Star Trek Should Stay Dead]]> The only thing more juvenile than a Trekkie is an Anti-Trekkie. (Maybe they've wandered in from the parallel universe.)

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Batman + Guns / Karate = Gun Kata]]> Wow, those special effects are almost as good as Batman Begins. Strike that - they're better.

And it's "lose" for god's sake.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on George Lucas Explains Why You'll Hate Indy IV]]> Why the hell are the studios forcing Shia Lebeouf up our butts? Is he some studio head's gay boy toy?

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Which Will Suck Less? New Terminator TV Show or New Terminator Movie?]]> Chronicles can't end up worse than what they did to Bionic Woman - which started out with so many possibilities and has turned into My Sister Sam.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Sexy Recruitment Posters For The Empire]]> You don't need strong, independent women in a universe where you can clone all the well-endowed submissive ones you want.

]]> <![CDATA[NeoPoliticus commented on Retro-Futurist Cell Phone Made From Rotary Dialer]]> A dial phone gives tactile feedback in a way that no touch screen or button can - but they have to put a screen in the middle. Otherwise it's just too much wasted space.
