You think of time travel and timelines too linearly. You think there has to be a "first time" before time travelers can go back. That's not how it would work, and it's not how it worked in the Terminator movies.

This list does not have the most deserving of this title.

John Lithgow?

Yeah, that's not how it happened. John always sends Kyle back specifically because he knows Kyle is his father, because Sarah told him. That's why he chooses Kyle. Kyle has always been John's father. How? Time travel. That's how it works.

More like on and a half billion. Whatever that thing you guys were saying might be Abomination, it wasn't in that teaser.

Yeah, it was a really great and innovative show. A really great balance of comedy and drama, and a great place where a lot of talented young actors got their start, and all the characters feel so genuine and authentic. No one (at least no main characters, but even the minor characters) feels like a TV version of some trope or archetype. The show really holds up through the end of the season. The final episode has an ending that makes it clear that they found out abruptly they were being canceled, so they wanted to give it a kind of resolution or bookend. This show is up there with Firefly as far as grave injustice in premature cancellation. Once you're done with it, you can check out Undeclared, Judd Apatow's next TV. It's also a single-camera, no-laugh-track show, but it's half-hour episodes instead of full-hour, it takes place at college, and it's set in the early 2000's, when it was made. However, it does feel like a successor to Freaks and Geeks, though not as great. It carries over Seth Rogan as an actor and a writer, and practically every F&G star has a guest star or recurring role in the show. It's a good show, and it'll satisfy you a little after you're upset that F&G didn't get more episodes, but remember, don't expect it to be as good. I also recommend Wonderfalls if you're looking for something else good after that. That show was so good they made 13 episodes and canceled it after only airing 4 of them.

This news is completely bananas. I was under the impression, and not just because the season finale was clearly conceived as a series finale, that Community was lucky to get the 13-episode 4th season and that that was it.

Well, things are happening very differently. The have been no time-traveling Cornelius and Zira, no media sensation over them, not plague killing all cats and dogs, and no worldwide system of ape slavery. It's definitely not canon with the original 5 film series. It's a reboot. X-Men First Class and Star Trek 2009 you can make argument how they are reboots that fit in the prior films' continuity, but this one doesn't.

I kinda felt Rise's August release date in 2011 was evidence that Fox didn't have much faith in it, as August is often a dumping ground for big-budget duds (kind of like January), and that they were kinda caught off guard by its critical and box office success. I'm happy to see a May release date, as to me it demonstrates confidence in the film. Anyway, as Rise was a pseudo-remake of Conquest, this one appears to be a pseudo-remake of Battle, unquestionable the worse of the original 5 films, the only one which I found to be outright boring. But there is no reason this one would have to be. They've changed the mythology enough that they can practically go in any direction they want (as long as the Apes win, of course). I'm curious if they decide to make another sequel if they will jump to straight to remaking the next of the original films in the original time frame, that being the first Apes film when Astronaut George Taylor lands back on Earth (they teased his launch in Rise). Or will they go forward in time further with Caesar's story?

I'm inclined to say that I'm interested in seeing Gravity, unless I hear it sucks, and not inclined to see Captain Phillips, unless I heard it was really good.

Was the color clear? Maybe Red Hulk?

The video was taken down already.... What was it? A promo? Behind-the-scenes?

Yeah, it sounds like the same scene that was shown in a storyboard animatic last year at Comic-Con, around 3:33 in this video. Even in basic storyboard sketches, the dark spirit looks awesome.

Before I saw the image, I thought Gary Sinese was gonna be in this. Damn...

I'm pretty sure the Rifftrax people don't record a Rifftrack (this that the singular of Riffrax?) on their first viewing. I'm pretty sure they watch it, take notes, come up with jokes, and then they record, not off a script, but off of notes with jotted-down jokes. I certainly don't want to do that. I will certainly not go see this in theaters, and will likely not even want to steal it. The 3 Transformers movies have 57%, 20% and 36% on Rotten Tomatoes, so using that as a barometer, I am guessing this will get between 20-35%.

God damnit, this makes it only MORE likely that this is ACTUALLY happening.

Yeah, but Funky Cold Medina is a great song.

Is there no place in your Trek math for the Animated Series? That's some good stuff.

Which principle is that? Not liking the 2009 one? Did you not see the 2009 based on the same principle?

Looks good!

Looks good.

The movie had the second largest ever US opening weekend, behind only The Avengers, with just over $175M. After 3 days in the US and 10 days in most other countries, the movie is already at $678,944,585. They have enough money. They can always just offer him more money on the back-end to cover their butts if ever the public does not want to shell out bucketloads of cash to see RDJ play Tony Stark.

That's not surprising at all because The Price Is Right auditions all their contestants, so they people they call up to bid on the items are often aspiring actors.
