Re: [scifinoir2] Best female villain?

Mr Worf, for me, hands down, it's the Mist II from James Robinson's Starman run. She was the slightly crazy daughter of the first Mist who, upon his death, escalated into epic-level craziness. In her first foray, she kidnapped, drugged and raped Starman, conceiving and giving birth to his son, and

Re: [scifinoir2] Apple Takes Aim at Cable With Tiny New Apple TV

I think that Apple's offering is a little too little too late. Even the Wii has better options. It doesn't have HD output on top of only two tv networks. Its worth the $100 if you already own a game system. On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 3:34 AM, Martin Baxter wrote: > > > Saw this on G4 yesterday. On th

Re: [scifinoir2] Nanocrystal conductors could lead to massive, robust 3-D storage and extend Moore's Law

They are talking about storage. What will happen is that we will begin to see memory sticks that hold hundreds of terabytes of storage. But alas we will be hitting the wall in a couple of years if they do not come up with a completely different methodology of memory and cpu/gpu design. On Thu, Sep

Great call on the Mist. One of my favorites is evil ESPer Lucifer from Angel Cop. The anime was vile crap but she was epically badass. The shot of her using her powers to ride a chopper while her arms were crossed was a great intro and when she butchered the cool supporting cast you knew this w

I wouldn't call Nikkatsu's work softcore porn. It is a little more artistic than that in some cases. Plus they had their best directors making the films from the 60s-70s. They also produced 4x's as much work. (they also produced movies like The Grudge and Machine Girl) On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 2:08
