I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Early ,'Objects In Space'


Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Was there all this incredibly complicated backstory to Bruce and the scientist chick and their fathers in the comic book?

In the original comic, Banner is head scientist on a gamma bomb project overseen by General Ross. Betty Ross and Bruce start falling in love in the first issue.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm about halfway though Hulk, and I'm bored silly. Does interesting stuff happen in the rest of the movie? Any decent special effects?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Um. I think he smashes a lot of stuff.

Well yeah, I figured that. But does he smash stuff in interesting ways? Any pretty explosions?

I just don't give a damn about any of these characters....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The last 20 minutes are interesting, in the sense that they appear to be from a completely different movie.

I remember being not as entertained by the smashing as I'd hoped.

I'm not sure I actually remember the last 20 minutes.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just remember finding the movie really bad and boreing.....

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think once the scene with Betty confronting the Hulk in SF is over, it's best to change channels and watch something more entertaining and sensical. Like Lost Highway.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I actually really liked Hulk and didn't see why everyone ragged on it so much.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I rather liked it, as a movie, but I think a large part of that comes from having very little to no knowledge of the character before. I didn't really enjoy it, though, which is more what I look for from comic book movies. But it was a while ago, and I don't recall all that much about it.
