Although I agree that the dude's attitude sucked, I don't think you should expect a person to read seven full novels before watching a show about the novels. Personally I can never decide. I already started the show, so if I read the books now, it'd ruin the show. I ran into the same problem with The Walking Dead. I…

I thought that one guy on the wall came back as a white walker and Snow killed him. I figured it was a sort of ice zombie ordeal.

Conan was talking about Arnold's book on his show some time this last week and apparently in it Arnold says that he initially didn't want to do the "I'll be back" line. He didn't think it would work or something.

That's just red threat propaganda, I thought the cold war ended decades ago?

"these so-called Chinese singletons have been accused of being over-indulged, lacking in self discipline and having no adaptive capabilities."

Grammatically speaking I'm more bothered by starting a sentence with 'and', which happens repeatedly in this article. Just makes it read like a run-on.

not HIV but full blown AIDS

I just think Superman is a bad character. and it's because of his omnipotence. It makes for bad storytelling if you know the hero never dies or is really hurt ever. Wolverine's character has a similar flaw, there's not really a way to kill him, but they make up for that by giving him a gritty character, and he gets…

I find all that early space race stuff so fascinating. Neither side had any idea what they were doing. They more or less just did a bunch of stuff and waited to see how it turned out. Sometimes it resulted in a "space race 1st" and sometimes it just blew up, or very narrowly avoided disaster. It's hard to imagine how…

It's cool to love science and all that, but does that automatically mean you have to have no respect for other peoples religious beliefs? To be clear, I'm not the least bit religious, but isn't ignorantly chastising a religion the same as ignoring scientific facts?

Wait, did I SAY they were popular in Australia? Or did I say it wasn't as offensive?

Of course this thing looks cartoony, it's a toy. I don't think he's making these next set of movies with 'children' in mind just because the Hobbit was considered a children's book in it's day. And really, how can you look at a damn toy and extrapolate anything about the in-movie designs?

I always thought the difference was that Nazi swastikas went clock-wise, while the buddist/hindu swastika went counter-clockwise. Also, the Nazi symbol is like a square rotated 45 degrees so it sits on a point, while the other symbol sits on an edge.

it's like a modern day braveheart...

Like a check engine light? Cause people take that seriously.

Google Earth has Mars. And the moon. Mostly it's just mapping from the satelites that have been wrapping around them for years, But there's also hi-res pictures from rovers and moon landings, and a handful of 360 views

Why can't guys just like breasts because they're fun and soft and we don't have them. Why does it need to be understood beyond that? And lets face it, it's not just men obsessed with them. Otherwise women wouldn't show them off in that "don't look, but look" sort of way.

You must have missed The Princess Bride 2, where Buttercup and Westley grow tired of the routine in their boring country life and displace their own individual failings and frustrations onto each other. Slowly throughout the movie they grow apart and give in to bitter, passive aggressive tendencies. It's a pretty…

I think it's more a nostalgia thing, if you didn't grow up with it it's not as easy to appreciate. Even still it's a pretty solid fairy tale.

no no no, see, first step in telling a good story is to make the protagonist/antagonist relatable. You can't go putting Geomagnetic Poles in the lead role, there'd be no human drama and I just don't think the audience will go for it.
