IGN's Top 25 Sci-Fi movies

Just for a short reference, here is how they numbered them.
The List

  • Moon
  • District 9
  • The Thing
  • Avatar
  • Jurassic Park
  • Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind
  • Forbidden Planet
  • Brazil
  • Back to the Future
  • Metropolis
  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers
  • Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
  • A Clockwork Orage
  • E.T.
  • Aliens
  • T2: Judgment Day
  • The Road Warrior
  • The Day the Earth Stood Still
  • The Matrix
  • Planet of the Apes
  • The Empire Strikes Back
  • Alien
  • Star Wars
  • 2001: A Space Odyssey
  • Blade Runner

I have to say I disagree with many things. Star Wars should not qualify as they are more fantasy than Science Fiction. Also, I'm not a fan of Blade Runner--at least the theatrical cut. I will not deny the importance of the film, but I just don't think it should be number 1.

It's just so wrong...



It's just so wrong. I know people hate global warming. I know polar bears are supposed to be victims. But this is just absurd.

First off, polar bears DO NOT get stranded on ice blocks because the CAN SWIM. A fact that we can clearly see in this video. Second, the only way the bear would know he's driving a low-emissions car would be to read. Assuming all that is true, why wouldn't the bear just eat that guy and take the keys to that awesome Nissan?

I'm not mad that this ad promotes global warming, I'm mad that it promotes the idea that mother nature is completely impotent and that the only thing in the universe capable of doing any damage or wrong is mankind. Mother nature kills people on a massive scale.

I have a sordid history with Joshua Lesnick that I wont' get into here. But I will take this opportunity to plug his long-running and awesome webcomic, Girly. I'm choosing today because he has reached the climax of his biggest storyline. It's worth checking out.

Josh has done other webcomics like Wendy and Cute Wendy. He also did a few pages of guest comic in Scott Pilgram.

Here is a tribute video I made for the Incredible Hulk. It was made as a birthday present for a good friend of mine whom is a big Hulk fan. I tried to include all the things that have made Hulk great over the years. This video was on Youtube, but they took it down. I'm hosting it now myself.

NOTE: THIS VIDEO IS LARGE, IT WILL TAKE TIME TO LOAD!
