    Cons: Abrams' inability to not have a happy ending

    I like how people complain Joss Whedon has to make his characters miserable, and completely the opposite about Abrams.

    I detect some subtext. Some repressed dislike. I'm not sure what it is, but...

    I'm starting to feel like that "South Park" episode -- not the recent one making fun of this, but an old one.

    The one where the SP kids get lost in the jungle and they're all "screw you, hippies, nature is gross and things try to kill you" and there's a big cheer when they get found by the bulldozers.

    I'm all "screw the noble savage cat-smurfs, and the traitor to his race and planet. This place is full of vicious shit that kills everything, nuke it from orbit and ship the unobtanium back to Earth."

    I'm having a grumpy week, plus I'm beyond tired of the hype and the constant ads and product placement in TV shows. And Cameron is an egotistical jerk.

    I never saw Titanic. (The boat sank. Get over it.) I might see this eventually, but not till after New Year's.

    Bah humbug.

    @Cupajo: I am a huge fan of Coupland... but that book really took me a while to get in to. Still, once it got going, with the idea of people and time just "freezing", it got kind of terrifying. Not his best, but there was some interesting ideas there.

    Okay, my interest in this movie has shot up roughly 500 times knowing that Wayne Barlowe was one of the creature designers

    I...I have a bit of a problem with Barlowe. The problem is I love him.

    @korybing: Me too. When I was 12, I saved up my allowance to buy Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials. I was a few cents short but the cashier at our local bookstore let me buy it anyway. He rang it up as a sale item.

    "Shih's system does require a craniotomy, which is not a surgery to be taken on a whim"

    Considering the stupid reasons people cut their bodies open for, I doubt that the ultimate Matrix fans are really gonna care.

    They should make it so raising your eyebrows while you think of the letter makes it uppercase. And have it read your emotions and auto-append an emoticon.

    Stephen Hawking might benefit from this, assuming that the surgery to implant the electrodes doesn't make him a person of normal intelligence.
