I agree it is more horror. But, uh, based on real events? Care to fill me in? I've never heard of Frankenstein being based on any real science. There was a real life Frankenstein-type doctor called Johann K. Dippel whom experimented on galvanism. He "animated" dead bodies by running electric currents through them and handling them as if were puppet strings, put on a show and became the talk of the town. Shelley probably heard the tale and used as inspiration for her novel. I still think that it was written too early to call it a science fiction book.

Why wouldn't it be sci-fi? In the early 19th century, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein helped define the form of the science fiction novel. Just because Young Frankenstein is a comedy at heart doesn't mean that it's not sci-fi as well. It's horror, not sci-fi. At least that's the way that has been always described, probably because there is an inherent fear of the dead and it was considered macabre to experiment on them. Much less bringing them back to life, but it could be looked at as slightly "siency" as it was based on real events.... loosely based on real events.

So it's Dr. StrangeLove and he's not on the list. Love me some Kubrick man!

This makes me angry. http://www.imdb.com/chart/scifi I now share your anger. Dubious as IMDB might have seemed at times, I presume that each year more an more teens are joining the site and wreaking havoc on the established scores with each seasonal blockbuster. The longer I watch the lists the worse it gets. The formula that drives the lists can't balance out the swarms of 10's that are given out like candy, and the moderate crowd is getting completely drowned out. So we are caught between the extremes of the public's darlings or critic's playthings. Lucky that I don't pay attention to those lists. Edit: Young Frankenstein is now sci fi putting on the RIIIIIIITTZ!!!

Oh, another Aliens vs. tough Marines movie. Gotta see that. Wow, that was almost Roland Emmerich kind of bad Saw Conan the Destroyer. Cheesy in a good way, although not as good as Conan the Barbarian. Conan the Barbarian was good?

The problem with not making art a business is that the artist can't make a living. Corporations making art or controlling it, it's the problem here yet at the same time it has it's benefits. PS. watched "Beyond the Gates" very graphic tale about the Rwandan genocide starring John Hurt (love his voice).

So NV is like FO3, but buggier? Guess I'll avoid it then once I get back to computers with more than 1.6GHz Atoms. You know that there are like a thousand community patches to fix those mistakes?

The Iraq war was a disgrace, but sometimes we forget just how much

Can you offer any other alternatives to better Iraq without bombing it? In before waiting for Hussein to die. -

We'll miss you down here in Florida I won't miss Florida; its a frickin oven Well I went to NY,Washington and Boston over the summer and it was FL hot. Considering that they all are on the northern hemisphere maybe England is starting to get FL, so funny thing you move to the UK and the weather is hot or raining just like FL. Does that convince you to stay? -
2 episodes and you are criticizing it because it's not a good "long term" show. The comic did okay the series will too if they stay on track.

So far there has only been 2 episode relationships are barely building amongst characters, third episode it's probably going to be the most emotionally charged. If you think fidelity drama is going to be this show's identity among zombie fiction, we can probably all delete our DVR programming right now. All I'm saying is the show, despite being good, is probably going to need a big hook to not start failing drastically when season two rolls around. Zombies are good and all, but I'm not entirely certain audiences will be interested in a long term one that doesn't go anywhere special (except family drama). I could be wrong, people love cheap drama. Then those folk have got the whole show's idea all wrong. It's supposed to be as much about human reactions to the situation as the whole zombie thing, which is much interesting since it hasn't been done to death. This ain't a George Romero social commentary through gore thing, it's purely about the characters.

No. No, it definitely is not. Change is usually slow and orderly. By voicing your opinion, by using diplomacy, by outside influences, the people itself, politics, etc. Not even during a revolution are things abrupt and chaotic, mainly because all the underlying systems remain intact and only the head is changed. Unless some warmongering country from across the world suddenly wants your oil and bombs you back to the middle ages. Then it's fast, abrupt and chaotic. Either you are being sarcastic and i'm missing the point or you are serious. In which case I say that changes in regimes are not often peaceful, this one is made worse by the fact that we tore down the underlying systems and the impoverishment in the area. A unique area that has as many factions as people. -

On most cases I would agree with you since I too prefer PC for FPS, but some devs really don't put much work into tweaking the mouse sensitivity and we get a sight that jumps on mile when you push it to millimeter. Then again DA:O is going to be an Action/RPG/Hack and Slash, don't have many good experiences with those on the PC.

Watched the second episode today, everyone from EU can sleep on that. Or wake, whatever you guys are doing The series is turning out to be great, they have really kept the balance of the emotional stress with the tension surrounding the situation.

It will take time before things get better, change is usually abrupt and chaotic. Once order is restored to the region we will see the consequences of our intervention. -

Even if we are there to turn them into a neo-colony, they still stand to benefit. Stability draws investor who see the area as untapped new market, they built, jobs for the population, eventually bringing them to the 21st century. Sure, it may be about oil but we can't have every third world dictator controlling oil or else our lifestyle would change drastically. You like living in the first world and posting on the Internet? that uses up oil. The way that the whole situation was handled may have been built up to save face for the invasion but the point remains; we can't sustain the US for 3 days without a constant influx of oil. -
