Prometheus, definitely Prometheus. There were so many worse films to have come out around that time and yet the gods of public consensus deigned that Prometheus would be the most hated of them all. It's obviously not the most perfect movie ever but its so subtly awesome in so many ways it just...

People who correct people for using the word literally 'wrong'. Most virtually everyone ever* is -intentionally- using it wrong. Its the ultimate in hyperbole. It's used 'incorrectly' for emphasis for christ sake. Jumping around and flailing about with all the 'gah you mean -figuratively-' shits...

This. I don't hold a huge amount of love for the 1st game, but I certainly respect it; it's a good game that acts as a focus point for the next instalment to build upon and refine. I still stand by the second game being one of the best platformers I've ever come across, in terms of gameplay...

Don't know if anyone has already mentioned it, but claiming the 'source material should be adapted correctly' thing bugs me. Does anyone stop to think that virtually all the primary superhero characters are white? Do we think about the reasons behind that? These characters were created in times...

For the eye of Harmony thing, I'd assume the Eye powers the existence of the Tardis, its beating heart, whereas the fuel for flight requires the need for rift energy and the like... Otherwise good episode, just wish it was given more weight. This is the first time we've seen the insides of the...

Could I be really boring and say a two-parter remake of the original Dalek story? Just for the ability to rework the story to be post-davros era compliant. Also I love the dichotomy of the petrified forest and the dalek city, and seeing that big budget would be fantastic. Also, totally need the...

Heres a collection of random stuff I have sitting on mah computer... captcha- 'him with her', grr heteronormativity...

Personally I love the Sword of Truth series. Objectivist preaching gets insane Pillars of Creation (book 7) onwards, but aside from Pillars and Naked Empire, the books are really quite engaging regardless. There is sooo much hate directed at it, but it mostly falls under the 'bashing you over...

Um, ok? I don't really understand that as a response on a number of levels. You specifically mentioned Lightsaber Fight. You do realise Jedi use a level of precognition as well as generally super-advanced reflexes to aid them in battle yeah? The fact that they don't miss a mark is kind of the...

Gotta love bandwagon jumping, unthinking, knee-jerk reactions to hating the prequels. Please think your bullshit through; go and watch the Maul/Obi/Qui-Gon fight and tell me honestly that the choreography/cinematography isn't fantastically put together and incredibly interesting to watch. Now...

This. Fantastic use of a variety of colour palettes as well, its diverse and beautiful and genuinely fun to play. Also the first two Crash Bandicoot's have some really beautifully colourful levels; specifically the ones in the temples at sunset... I think ones literally called sunset...

Jack Wall's work on Myst III and IV is fantastically good, and has been in my iTunes since forever. (The soundtracks from the first two are quite great as well, but I have a more nostalgic connection to III and IV due to playing them first, out of order:P ). Some of Christophe Heral's work from...

Cinematography is the construction of a shot, framing, angles, camera movement, lighting, etc. Anything visual has cinematography, even solidly animated film and tv. - I'm really happy that this is getting more attention, and that so far its been positive. I'm still gritting my teeth for...

Abrams wasn't even involved past the pilot, and the show gets a hell of a lot more interesting and way more tightly paced starting season 4, when the writers were officially given the number of episodes they had left to wrap things up in. Victory of the Daleks springs to mind for doctor who...

You didn't seem to get a huge amount of backup, but just wanted to say good work; read through the debate and I honestly think the most laughable thing has been Katatori's constant 'citation needed' followed by the lone statement of 'you're incorrect'. I mean who does that without realising how...
