Oh boy! Yay! Go America number one!

Granted, I'm a douche, but we didn't make a scene, we just sat there peacefully. You would have thought we had set an American flag on fire and shoved it up a bald eagle's ass the way people in our section hated us. Since when does being a sports fan require me to become a nationalist?

Oh right, since forever.

Or Stringer Bell for that matter.

Hmmm, are there only two types of horror movies then? Trapped in with the monster, or on the run from the monster?

"oh snap, aliens killing everyone in town? i'm ghost."

"monsters on the loose? smell you later, sucktown."

i've never played the games, but i'm interested in knowing more about the backstory of the film universe.

As for the "giving up" thing, eliel, you have a point. But I don't think anyone takes into consideration what an extraordinary situation this is. It is nothing like any of us have ever, or will ever, or anyone ever has had to deal with in the history of the world. It isn't fighting a group of bad guys off to save your family, it isn't struggling through the wilderness trying to find shelter, it isn't hiding from an invading army, or searching for food for your children in a post apocalyptic world... it is: the world is taken over my demons from another dimension and there is no hope of seeing them, nevermind stopping them, before they eat you in a horrible,horrible fashion. An agonizing, torturous death.

Contrast it to the Road, for example, where the father does everything in his power to protect his son. he's dealing with some fucked up shit, and some tough customers, but they're still only humans at the end of the day. Murderous, cannibalistic humans, sure, but humans all the same. Not behemoths the size of a skyscraper roaming the planet. I think giving up in that situation is acceptable. Maybe that's just me. I don't have kids, by the way.

Not sure why this movie gets me going so much.

uhhhhh, you're saying that in a thread about the Dark Knight, right? Just checking.

the fog rolling back seconds later was, however, silly. they could have easily remedied that by giving us some sense that a significant length of time had passed, even a few hours.

spot on. can you imagine complaining about the hair color of a character (or whatever) and being prepared for disappointment before you've even seen it based on something so superficial?

If you're talking about the moment from the most recent Walking Dead trade that just came out.... WOH. That series wades into zombie cliches from time to time, but that was certainly unexpected.

if you want websites that focus specifically on one particular corner of the genre-fiction world, by all means go to them, write them, read them. but i think it's pretty obvious by this point that i09 casts a broad net -- and thankfully too, or else I wouldn't read it -- because over specialization certainly isn't going to help them with their page views. If I had one complaint it would be that they do the opposite of what some people seem to be suggesting, and make the site officially broader on its face, so that the inclusion of comic books and fantasy was just taken as a matter of fact and not a complaint-worthy aberration

truth is there is a lot of overlap in the audiences.

On a popup down the rightfield line on April 15th, Kevin Youklis reached over and did some guy's taxes.

HAHAHAH

The Politicians of Predator on SlateV

he he. Shaq's ass. he he.

Not to be too sensitive about it. Lived here most of my life, (with stints in DC and NYC) and it strikes me that retarded, drunken sports fans in any city don't do a good job of representing the citizens as a whole.

Not to say that racist jokes and simplified caricatures aren't funny, because I certainly use them myself.

haha. philly first down.

which is said not to defend the premise of this article. while the writer may well believe his premise, it's obviously a product of the contrarian streak running through journalism now. the point of the argument is the existence of the argument. if an argument can be made, it is. there is an awful lot of space to fill. you'll see that same problem plague some of the posts on this site as well.

There is a Korova in NYC on the lower east side. been a few years, somaybe it's not there anymore, but it was a pretty cool place as I recall.

sounds like your referring to Pynchon's Against the Day, the worst piece of shit i've ever had the misfortune of almost finishing.

Every single movie ever is science fiction by that logic.

Remind me again what exactly was leftist about the film? That fascism is bad? Immigrants are humans too? Those things seem pretty self evidently bipartisan to me.

The Star Wars prequels happened to suck because of the acting and the dialog, not because we already knew what happened to Darth Vader. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've heard. It wreaks of the odious NO SPOILERS culture. As if simply knowing the framework of plot points and connecting the dots is the reason we watch films. It's supposed to be about seeing how the decisions that characters make over time bring about change, and watching things develop.

To use a cliche, it's not the destination, it's the journey.

What do you mean, they could have black or gay only gyms? Or to restrict them from the campus altogether?

So nothing is sci fi?

Or... is EVERYTHING sci fi. Because what movie doesn't contain some basic level of science?
