    It bothers me that a clip like that will exist on YouTube forever, but if one of those girls slipped a nip it would be banned.


    I will never ever understand why sex is so taboo while this kind of violence is ok.


    (This isn't an anti-violence statement, it's a pro-titty argument)

    If you had some fake rubber nipples you could show those.

    On another note, I friended you since my name is Adrian. Hoever, I think your "eviladrian" name is a misnomer, because I sense that I am 63% more evil then you are.

    I just watched Tokyo Gore Police. And while I absolutely LOVED some of those wild character designs, and a lot of the ideas at play were pretty ambitious and interesting, it often bordered on the unwatchable. Lots of pretty girls too, which is never a problem. It was juts a bit too ridiculous at times.

    For the cynics, I must point out that just because it's his first film doesn't mean he's some hack or riding his father's celebrity status. Apparently he cut his teeth directing commercials, much like many Hollywood directors did, who eventually then climbed their way to doing TV or film.

    @Steve Riekeberg: I see what you're saying, but still, I have heard of Neil Blomkamp and Joseph Kosinsky and I am excited for both of their projects (which don't get their names before it), but I can't even find anything by this guy online. I'm going to see it and he gets the benefit of the doubt, but I still say his name above the title thing is because of Daddy, not anything else.

    Ahhhh. You know through this whole publicity machine for this film they always sort of refer to it as "Duncan Jones' Moon" and " A film by Duncan Jones." To my knowledge the guy hadn't actually done anything, then I just wiki'd him and saw that he's Bowie's son. Celebrity nepotism, it all becomes clear.

    Well, when Duncan makes something on par with "Hunky Dory" I will care when someone says "A film by Duncan Jones". Until then I will see Moon for the same reason I see other films... Yay Spaceships.

    The trouble I have with these nerdly romantic comedies is that the actors are much better dressed and better looking then us real nerds. Hard to suspend disbelief over this.


    Also, I've yet to see a good movie about nerds that don't lose their virginity until they are into their thirties. The sexual dysfunctions alone would give you at least an hour's worth comedy right there.

    @corpore-metal: Most people, nerds or not, don't look like the people in romantic comedies. Then again, the "hot nerd finds hot girl who is willing to look past his eccentricity to find real love" storyline has been done to death. And illnesses like Aspergers aren't cutesy problems that just make someone quirky, they have real and debilitating effects.

    Am I the only one who thinks Stolen Planet was influenced by Star Trek, both TOS and TNG? The whip made me instantly think of the Ferengi energy whips, back when they tried to make them the "feared" enemy. And that shuttle just made me flash back to the original series.

    Interesting line work on _Baton_. When this thing comes out on DVD, put out a post so I can order a copy.


    As for _Stolen Planet_; I didn't know anybody still used Bryce.
