Our story: 22 of the snarkiest tweets about the Star Wars/Disney deal
Your best comment: Why, exactly, is everyone so upset? Disney bought out Marvel in 2009, their movies have only gone uphill. According to popular opinion, it seems like it couldn't be much worse than the prequels. Disney's not stupid, they know how to make good movies. — TheGman
Our story: 14 annoying horror movie victims we were actually glad to see die
Your best comment: Hudson may have been a whiner, but he went out like a consummate professional. Much like the same character in cop clothes he played in Predator II. And as you'll see in the yet to be released director's cut finale to Big Love when his character goes down two fisting a pair of AK-47s against a Blackwater hit team, not sure when it's getting released. — Pointer Obvious
Our story: 13 of the most convoluted sci-fi flicks to ever blow our minds

Our story: Battlestar's Helfer and Sackhoff team up for sexy charity calendar

Our story: Get ready to celebrate National Cat Day with 21 sci-fi felines!
Your best comment: I did noice a similar theme kind of going thru all the pictures... Pretty much all the cats have a look that says, "I am sooooooo gonna throw up a hairball in your choes when you're not watching".... — Sardonicus Rex
Our story: 9 over-the-top horror films so disgusting that they got banned
Your best comment: Your list shows how much society norms change as people's social norms change. "Freaks" repulsed people in the theaters in the 30s, but to today's viewers it seems tame. There were stories of people throwing up after watching "The Exorcist", but in 2012, most people can get thru the whole movie and not lose their lunch. In short, what grossed out your great grandfather in the neighborhood movie house most likely not have the same effect in today multiplex. — Capt. Paul
Our story: See the new Hannibal Lecter in 9 disturbing (and bloody) pics
Your best comment: Csi Hannibal. — Csi
Our story: Oliver battles the reimagined Royal Flush Gang in 5 new Arrow pics
Your best comment: Well, given the more grounded-in-reality aspect of 'ARROW', it certainly makes better tactical sense for The Royal Flush Gang to wear plain clothes until the critical moment of commitment for their robberies.
It`s a lot more believeable that a gang could walk towards a bank with guns and masks hidden under regular clothing, than to see them walking towards a bank entrance clothed head-to-toe in bright red & white playing card-motiff costumes...
I mean, who on the street WOULDN`T be calling 911 to report 'another robbery by those bizarre costumed bandits' before the gang even entered the bank?? — EDGE
Our story: Can't wait for The Hobbit? Check these 15 awesome character posters
Your best comment: I was hoping for Smaug. 6 weeks feels 7 weeks too long. — Mechagamera
Our story: New set pics offer 1st look at 2 pivotal Thrones characters
Your best comment: It's definitely a bummer that the character has been made more boring by making him look more Western. The appeal of seeing a book made into a film or TV series is to get to see the things that you've read about and visualized brought to life. To have too many things changed by a producer who's probably less a fan of the material and more concerned with processing network "notes" is just annoying. — Redderbeard
