    The Devil's Backbone was an excellent film that I had never even heard of until Netflix.

    We saw Fantastic Mr. Fox on Thanksgiving. My husband wanted to see the Road, but I just wasn't in the mood to cry for 2+ hours. Maybe next weekend.

    I really liked supergirl, I have fond memories of that movie. There are several versions of it and most of the time it's show on TV you never know which version you're going to get.

    At first, I couldn't believe you didn't like it, but then I saw the author of this piece was Charlie Jane Anders. Probably the one person I hate to read anything from on io9 because I disagree with everything she writes. Moving along....

    The one thing that stands out for me about the Crying Game was the idiot who shouted out "OMG! It's A PENIS!!" (duh) when they showed the gal was really a dude.

    @Davio: Yes. It's as bad as I remember, which is "Not really bad at all, and pretty darn good in parts." It's one of the more successful sequels in SF - it's not exactly an _Aliens_-grade expansion, but it tries hard and mostly succeeds. Plus, it's got Gary Busey losing his tiny little mind even *before* he gets whacked, so, you know.

    Um, "Shatner Underwater"? Are you referring to the scene where *Nimoy* swims with the whales?

    Awesome shot of the Shat's hair weave.

    Interesting choice of putting Guy Peirce's character in the trailer.

    Guess its not bad for people that haven't read the book.

    Saw ST4 the day after T-giving, and it was delightful. BTTF2 was okay.

    Nowadays I like to just stay home Fri.-Sun. and not deal with the public.

    Don't forget that Boondock Saints 2 releases wider today too!

    The family that kills together stays together. If that isn't a Thanksgiving message I don't know what is.

    Well, if anything, this shows that T-giving is the holiday of sci-fi. What I find odd is the tradition of releasing horror films on Christmas day....

    Seriously, nothing says "season's greetings" like a pick-axe through the eye...

    Ah, the Fountain... like so many of Aronofsky's films; so good it literally hurts, and is thus watchable only once.

    @artiofab: I might, one day. But I think I'd rather do it in some more secure stage of my life. Thus far, every time I watch one of his films I walk away feeling not just moved, but wounded.
