"Hang on a sec, my thalidophone is ringing..."

@RandomThought: If they have any guts at all, they will have to touch on that, what with there being no men on Themyscira, right? But I am okay with The Dread Pirate Roberts being a potential love interest, especially if they play her as actually being older than him and just looking younger.

I've got your "absurdly oversized" RIGHT HERE

"So I come to zero/zero 4 km away from the docking bay, find out I have, like, no propellant left in my maneuvering thrusters and call for a tractor beam tow. Well, they get me there no problem, but when they spin me around so the umbilicals can deploy, my comms array tore right off AND they bent that cool fin I had…

I was thrilled to get this Venn tee for Xmas!

Plus it discovered waaaaaay more 'new worlds and new civilizations' than the 1701-D! It went further, and more boldly.

Something this cunning could not possibly have occurred through evolution and the vagaries of chance! It clearly indicates intelligent design...by malevolent and expansionist plant-men from Venus.

@Polymath: Very close! It was designated as military land way before due to the Mexican-American War, but was used as a military prison during the War of Northern Aggress- I mean, The War Between the States.

Anyone else have mixed feelings about George R.R. Martin finding out about this and doing the remainder of "Song of Ice and Fire" this way?

@Dr. Grizzly: Y'know what, I wasn't going to watch this, but now I think I just might. I think it's great that a live-action show can aspire to be a comic book of the sort I would have read as a kid, cheesiness intact.

At least Game of Thrones doesn't share its title with a musical from the '60s.

Making the Red Skull the villain is brilliant, and I think the casting rules, but getting the look right is just an impossible job. If you build up the brow ridges and what-have-you to make him look more like the comic (as well as the awesome production art), the logic cops will scream about how Hugo Weaving's face…

Bayer is so huge and diverse that I don't know if a boycott would even have any effect on them, but I am done buying their products as of right now. I may not be able to stop it, but I damned sure will not support it!

@Snake56: I'm hoping that the Spielberg/Fury combo are enough to cancel out the Braga effect. But I dunno how much I would wager on it...

When we had bedbugs in our home last year, I read about this and thought, 1) wow, those little b@$t@rds are even creepier than I thought, and 2) please, for the love of all that is good, *don't* let David Cronenberg find out about this.

@FrankN.Stein: I seem to remember that it would not work on human flesh, so the host body had to be destroyed first. And because immolating villains is extremely satisfying. Plus, how cool is it that he got the flamethrower from Firefly's Jubal Early?

Man, I have loved Veteran of the Psychic Wars since I snuck into the theatre to watch Heavy Metal in grade 7! It has shown up on a number of my wargaming 'mix tapes' since, and just last week a co-worker told me about Hawkwind, which I had never heard of. Thanks for the timely article!

While it hasn't made it to DVD, The Keep has made it to D&D. I played the module in the 80s long before I caught the movie on SuperChannel, intrigued because I had never seen a D&D adventure based on a licensed property before.

Superman begs for tentative optimism regardless of the director involved, but I think Snyder is good news. I fully expected Watchmen to be unwatchable, and ended up actually enjoying it. The fact that he chose to do it so someone else couldn't set it in the present day and give everyone superpowers shows me he has…

I thought this video was a link to a Crimson Skies LARP, what the hell?
