I'm out of it for a little while and everyone gets delusions of Disney buying Lucasfilm...!?

The article reads like "less people are going to the cinema and we don't like the few movies that they do go to see"

That list sounds like the one that one of the betting shops put out just because Matt Smith was announced. David Morrissey hadn't yet appeared in an episode called 'The Next Doctor' for example.

Alex Garland, the writer put in his introduction to the script book that I read years ago that he was intentionally going for Day of the Triffids with the waking up in hospital thing.

David Schneider who plays the Scientist at the start was in a lot of 90's comedy shows like The Day Today and Alan Partridge and is also the guy on the train that Tom Cruise hangs on to at the end of Mission Impossible. Whenever I see him in films I wonder what he's doing there...

Since I just got a blu-ray player I might actually get to watch a DiF commentary with a film without it falling horribly out of sync!

Any cinema that shows a film in 3d should support 48fps. The Hobbit is actually not the first film to release at 48fps. Resident Evil: Retribution and Madagascar 3 are both in that format.

I finally managed to see this last night. One thing I thought was very well done both as stylistic choice and from a film budget point of view was how they portrayed 2044.

We have the cane field which I have no problem accepting will still be around thirty years down the line with the occasional matte painted cityscape in the background which could easily have come off as cheesy and low budget as well as some nice high angle CG shots that pan down to a contemporary looking street.

But overall it works as selling it as being the future without being all Blade Runner

Are there any Firefly repeats on?!

Check out From 'Earth To The Moon' If you haven't. 

If that is a joke it is both funny and well executed.
