If only so that I won’t be constantly pissed at SyFy. What used to be, in my youth, a go-to for Science Fiction programming has been replaced with bullshit camp, paranormal reality, a cooking show and wrestling.

You really cannot beat it. Nothing is over-done, there’s good production value and you can’t really make fun of it [...]

Coilhouse – Latex/Guns/Gnosis: The Matrix Turns 10: To date myself, I was 16 at the time and came out of the theater utterly energized. I wasn’t the only one. William Gibson dubbed it “an innocent delight I hadn’t felt in a long time.” Darren Aronofsky raved that it heralded a new age in sci-fi. Neil [...]
