I used to think of Apple as a tech firm, then as a design firm, but I realised a few years ago that what they are is masters of marketing. In a time when people still had their VCRs and Cassette players because they refused to let go of the old technology because of it's 'value' Apple managed...

Honestly, I haven't cared about the Terminator franchise since Terminator 2. 1 and 2 were great films, but they're very much a product of their time. Everything since then I feel has floated on nostalgia and every year that we move further from the original release, the nostalgia becomes more of...

See, here's the thing for me in the books. First book explains the world a bit and then throws Katniss and Peeta into the Hunger Games. It's in this book that it's established that the games are used to quell revolution. The second book, Katniss is literally being punished for taking on the...

Have you read the books Kevin? They actually do that in the books. It's awful. I think these films actually sacrifice making a cohesive film for mass audiences, in favor of making fans of the books happy. I didn't actually notice this when I was watching the movie, but I was speaking with people...

70s, that's right. Mistyped. But he's not dancing to Blue Suede, he gets pummeled to them.

Boy you're not wrong. I think that's GoTG's real strength. It has heart, but 5 minutes in and you're watching Star Lord dancing through alien ruins to cheesy 80s music.

I always found it strange that DareDevil's costume was so well coordinated. (Since he went to an all red scheme) The guy can't see colours only shapes, so really his costume would be bits of red, gray, blue, black, yellow etc. I want to see DareDevil in a costume that makes people go blind from...

Guys, go see this movie. It's excellent!

So I watched Extant last night. In short, I enjoyed it, and will be watching it again next week. In long: It's a fairly generic sci-fi series with a number of, honestly, not particularly inspired key storylines. You have the two that were advertised: 13 month solo mission in space so how did...

It starts 9Pm the day after tomorrow.

Wow, okay, in all the advertising, I'd never seen that their son was a robot. Here it's all been: "You were alone on the space station for 13 months, you came back pregnant."

That's right. For me, if they'd just say "Hey, it's a magic drug we've created that gives you super powers." Then I think I'd be fine with it. But when you're using bogus science when most people know better you've lost me.

XKCD posted this today and it's an amazing and terrifying thought.

I was so on the fence about being excited for this movie. And, coming out, I was so on the fence about being excited about the movie. I felt like First Class was a much needed breath of fresh air for the franchise. Bringing back the original characters, while a great way to hype the film, gave...

The title was originally "A Princess of Mars" but studio execs thought that boys wouldn't go see it if it was perceived as a "Princess" film. Then, it was changed to "John Carter of Mars" Much more manly. Then, Mars Needs Moms BOMBED at the box office. The studio execs' reasoning was "Must be...
