The reason the film has endured is, at least in part, because it’s still so visually striking. The Oscar-winning special effects obviously look pretty primitive next to what we’re used to today, but they suit the film’s aesthetic and you can appreciate how advanced they were at the time.

Holy shit.

And this wasn’t even a good two minutes. It already looks Ted 2 bad and we’ve only seen the “best” part.

Not to mention, his track record in live action is abysmal. Ted was a collection of recycled Family Guy jokes, Ted 2 then took THOSE jokes and recycled them again, and that western thing he did...well, I can’t comment on it since I didn’t watch it. And given its box office, neither did anyone else.

It’s like Big Bang Theory. It’s aims so low that people who’d find it hard to detect sarcasm love it while most people quickly find it boring and tired.

I’ve never understood his appeal. He churns out unfunny crap my septic tank would refuse to accept. Normally I try not to be critical of other people’s opinions, but this guy pushes all the obnoxious/unfunny/hack annoyance buttons. Why, people, why?

It’s MacFarlane. You know no matter how good a 2 minute segment of an entire season is you know it’ll be stale for the majority of that run.

“A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you’ll have to use proton torpedoes.”

“...nobody was building cars that looked like 1930s cars in the 1960s.”

Holy shit!!! Fishburn??? Best thing about old movies is when you see big stars in early roles.

This proves it. Paul Reubens really is a vampire like he was cast as in Buffy the Vampire Slayer....

In the Pee-Wee Cinematic Universe (PCU? P-WCU?), I don’t think continuity is much of a concern.

Can you imagine watching those back-to-back? Talk about mood whiplash!

From a political junkie’s perspective, Scalia’s passing creates a fascinating political scenario. There’s so much wrangling and gamesmanship going on right now both behind the scenes and in public. Obama will make a nomination, of course, but then what? The Senate clearly doesn’t want to confirm anyone Obama puts…

That picture, though? Klaus Nomi Army, represent!

I agree! Pretty much every aerospace company had its own independent space shuttle proposals. However, I limited the article strictly to those that were on the direct "family tree" as it were.

I always thought the earlier Lockheed "Star Clipper" design, with a smaller orbiter using a wrap-around external fuel tank, was a pretty cool idea.

@JodaThongnopnua: Its sad for the rest of us who arent seven... (I'd like an Eisner...)

@ssjulian12: AxeCop may have had a child writer and T-Rex with Gatling guns for arms but didn't win an Eisner.
