These are also great reasons for why Snakes on a Plane ended up being a serviceable Syfy-level movie with a poor audience reception. They wanted to make an instant cult classic, but made a moderately entertaining but largely forgettable big screen version of a made-for-TV movie. By having the movie and the promotional…

As the old joke goes, he could speak Galactic Basic, he just had such a dirty vocalizer they had to bleep out every word.

Minor correction: The ceremony was never completed, Yuna leapt onto Valefor before they could finish it. So technically Seymour's just her ex-fiance.

Scientists should talk politics at least as often as politicians talk science.

This is something that doesn't get stated enough. Leviathan presents information integral enough to the story that it should have been in the original release, not DLC. Understanding earlier on why the Reapers exist makes other aspects of the story much clearer.

Meanwhile, Anonymous prepares the Guy Cocks masks.

Since this doesn't specify movies, I'd like to include the first time you're introduced to an actual Reaper. Sovereign puts a "face" to the true enemy. And you don't get much better than:

I'm loving all the JL8 love in here. And since I follow him on Twitter, I can promise that Yale's loving the recognition, too. He's not only a great artist, he's great guy as well. He's auctioned multiple pieces to raise money for disaster relief on multiple occasions, and he's honestly gratified when one of his…

If you're talking Arab cultures, in which the name often describes the lineage, then you could consider the father's name the middle name. Outside of that, the use of a middle name instead of just a given name and a surname is relatively recent, and there's no one tradition. Sometimes it's to preserve an ancestor's…

It's a testament to the Right's propagandizing that despite spending consistently being higher under Republicans, the deficit and the debt consistently increasing by larger amounts under Republicans, and Republicans consistently allowing or seeking to end tax breaks that benefit the less wealthy, they've still…

I judge people based on whether they simply enjoy this movie as a comedy or assert it to be prophecy. The former is understandable, the latter is inane.

Train with the person who bought/made his/her own equipment, paid for more than just the minimum certifications, and trains himself/herself hard both in and outdide the gym. When I was working with a trainer, he was also Marine Corps Recon, and training to become an Olympic trainer. Knew how to push me, but let me…

I'm not against the concept, but as far as personal tastes go...grind them up and cook them into something. If I have to see the legs and wings and shells...I can't do it. It's absolutely stupid, but just imagining the texture on my tongue creeps me out. Give me a burrito where bugs serve as the meat ingredient, I'm…

Or, even simpler, be selective about who you follow in the first place. So far I've only regretted adding OMGFacts, because what seemed amusing quickly became spammy.

I was under the impression that aspirin can thin the stomach lining, and acetominophen can tax the liver even further, making the temporary relief not worth the possible long term damage.

We may end up finding out what it was, but then again we might not, knowing GRRM.

You have truly excelled, in this discussion, at exemplifying the manner in which pedantry serves us...

Keep firing, Assholes!

Talk to Liara when you get access to the Presidium, Aethyta should show up at the cafe. When she's there, you can talk to her about it.
