10 Best S/F Films That Never Existed
Jamie mentioned (via a Metafilter discussion) a great article entitled The 10 Best Sci-Fi Films that Never Existed. From the piece: "There was a movie that perfectly captured the Douglas Adams experience, the combination of bitter sarcasm and sharp imagination, the droll British wit and whale-exploding slapstick that infused his novels. And that movie was Shaun of the Dead. That movie was not, unfortunately, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a movie that floated around Hollywood for about 20 years before it finally appeared in theaters as a flat, lifeless, americanized lump that was mostly hated by people who liked the book and loathed by people who hated the book.

In a post-apocalyptic world where websites mysteriously drop from existance, server hardware is reduced to mere slag and ISP lawyers roam the shattered earth a hero shall rise.

Of course, I'm sure they'd make YT 18.
Can't have under-age girls actually interested in sex, no, that would be ungood.
Two suggestions:
(a) Move to Germany
(b) Change your name to Uwe Boll
---- Den ene knappen er powerknapp, den andre er Bender voice knapp "Bite My Shiny Metal Ass"
...but I just:
a) moved to Austin, TX, from England
b) changed my name to Robert Rodriguez!

Plus, I just have to copy and paste this quote for Snow Crash, I think it's hilarious because it's completely true:
"Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live,devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad."
So true, so true.

Everyone remembers the exact moment when they realized that their Phanom Menace sandwich was filled with shit.
I think that would make a good Slashdot poll. When did you realize that George Lucas had defecated on your childhood memories?

Indeed.

I dream of a better world... one in which chickens can cross roads without their motives being questioned.
They forgot one: Neuromancer by William Gibson.
No they didn't. You REALLY need to see Johnny Neumonic. It has some of Keanu's best 'Whoas' that he ever commited to film...
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
Don't know about you, but I might like to see a movie where Jesus fights thousands of cloned Kung Fu Romans. He kicks all of their asses, and then at the end, when he thinks he's won, the last one sneaks up behind him, grabs him, and they nail him up. Or at least that should've been how Passion of the Christ ended.
Oh! And everyone should give a show of thanks to John Travolta for ensuring no future movies are made from L. Ron Hubbard's books. "Battlefield Earth"......(shudder)
Of course, I'm sure I'll now manage to get sued for making disparaging remarks against L. Ron Hubbard.
