    @ParryLost: I love that comment for two reasons: first it made me lol because of the awsome comic refrence, and second because this movie seems to be along the same lines, genetic engenerring is evil and will distroy the world, we should never try something new

    @Franknbeans: Thank you, those were my thoughts too. :D Though I'm hoping the gene-spliced baby will be a likeable character -- but still, the overall message will (I am guessing!) be in that "don't play god" vein. Also, it's a brand-new baby meme! It needs our love and support. :(

    Screw balanced storytelling; this science aficionado wants mental comfort ford.

    On topic, I feel sad for Dren. She seems set up for a tragic fate. #splice

    "Where is she off to with that cat?"...

    ALF: [about cat] Last time I saw him he was high-tailing it out the window.
    Willie: And why was that?
    ALF: Cause I was chasing him with a fork.

    I guess Adrien Brody just should have thrown in the towel after winning the oscar in The Pianist. Can't get higher than that so instead he just goes much, much lower.
