However it turns out, it can't be much worse than Bryan Singer's snooze-fest Superman Returns, I mean, Singer said if he had to do it again, he'd just remake Donner's timeless 1978 movie... words fail me...

Interesting..

I don't mind waiting but a pic of Anderson would be nice.

Oops. Should've check the thread below this.

And I can't edit!

Is there supposed to be something happening at Comic-Con or am I remembering incorrectly?

Reminds me of Roman armor.

A bit.

It does have that vibe.

I like it. Though the collar thing does make him look a tad on the scrawny side.

Can't wait for a trailer.

I don't really understand this. Youtube forced me to link a Google (not plus!) account so they can more effectively spy on me but I've never been threatened with suspension.

I see I have missed an 'epic' thread. For shame, T-Mobile and your requirement of cash for services rendered.

the Thrill Train still hasn't reached the station

Best euphemism ever

Haha 

Looks nice though. 

I see the Thrill Train still hasn't reached the station*.

What I can't understand is not filling out the form at all.  Leaving aside the value to the present allocation of resources (rejection of which is, i suppose, a political choice), it's part of a portrait of your whole society, that your descendants will be able to look at and specifically see your form, and place it in the context of all the other forms - and then go back to the previous one, and forward to the next one, and see how you as an individual moved through a vanished world.  There's nothing like it - I've read W.B. Yeats' census entry in his own hand, I've read my great grandmother's, I've read the entries for inner city tenements that you can match to the address on the O.S. map to see 50 people sharing one outside toilet and living off 5 wages.  Absenting yourself from the historical record like that is... well, short-sighted.

Actually, I'm in agreement there. I'm a huge sci-fi nut like most other geeks on here, but I probably find simple history books on my home city most inspiring. Gawping at the photographs, it's like I come to some odd child-like realisation that actual real people did live in the past.

My problem was less with the amount of information requested, but rather the presumption that they owned it somehow. It's just the principle of the thing. Or a small protest if you want to see it that way.

If others want to fill it in then fine. It's completely their choice. Sort of. 

I was gonna give them my basic details for headcount purposes but I kept thinking back to their petty threats and ripped it up instead. I could do time for murder without answering that many questions.

Governments look incompetent because they're busy running around like headless chickens covering up for the rape and pillage conducted by our corporate masters, which is almost impossible to do with a straight face. Hence we point and laugh at their stupidity as they suck people dry of their wealth and freedoms like a super-blackhole. Then we vote them back into office.

Funny how one of the Facebook trolls used Sulkin's exact quote, Maybe they can get him for inciting hatred.

That's a bit Patriot Act isn't it?

I was being a tad facetious, but I wouldn't shed a tear if people randomly slapped him in the street. Along with that surgeon-looking guy on the Facebook link. I hope he's a vet. He's definitely not a brain surgeon.

And RIP to the dead. I expect the numbers floating around are paltry compared to what the final death toll will be.
