Wow, two posts in a row using the word "urban" in the headline. And both cases (urban planning for the mess that is Cairo, Egypt and urban hipsters to describe the diversity of city lifestyles) it is misused.

Obviously, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner has no effing clue why the Transformer's sequel was doodoo. It was crapola because it was poorly conceived, poorly executed, poorly filmed, with a stupid, inconsistent, even internally conflicted plot, idiotic misrepresentation of basic geography (Petra is next to the Pyramids ...…

Check with Miracle Max ... I hear he gives them away, if they fit well.

I know I am chiming in kind of late, however the evidence Horner is basing this latest kerflapple on is hardly definitive. Finding a concentration of the bones of a particular species in a particular bonebed means exactly nothing in terms of its distribution and habits in the wild. What it means (only) is that a bunch…

Wow. This is good.

This is hibernation, not suspended animation. If a bear were (somehow) to hibernate for the length of its natural lifespan, it would die of old age. The whole idea behind sciffy cryo-sleep is that it lets you last a long time, like that porkchop in the freezer.

Child actors are difficult to work with, and you can't shove the little moppets into dangerous situations, like exposure to vacuum, willynilly. A CGI bractor, however, is almost completely disposable, and can probably be voiced by an adult woman, in any case.

Don't Panic! It's like being drunk.

"...will never be a $200 million, explosion-laden Days Of Our Lives summer blockbuster scored entirely to AC/DC." Um, that was called "Sex in the City," if I recall.

Of course, the most important point here is that, were water physically otherwise (boiling point, density characteristics, caustic nature), we, as a species (and all other life currently clinging to our planet) would not exist at all. Life as we know it would not have evolved without water being, well, water-y. I, for…

Leiber was a visionary. He was a hit&miss writer (The Wanderer is a good example of bad Fritz), but the concepts he explored inspired a generation of better writers. The Man Who Lived Backwards, Spacetime for Springers (heh), the aforementioned Wanderer ... brilliant concepts executed poorly. Still one of my…

Ms. Anders (if I may call you that), I genuinely feel your pain. Your profession requires that you watch and review these excremental teledramas and comment cogently. My profession requires that I avoid programming that damages and/or insults human intelligence. Thank you for proving decisively that there are, indeed,…

So where on the River are you?

Nicely done, but that price is to pricey.

I'm sorry. My handwriting used to be so bad. With the invention of the typewriter, I gave up manuscripts entirely. Oh, they are not "bathing" women, they are mid-transmogrification. Sorry for the confustion. I was much older then.

And let us not forget the other "Hutts" - Edward G. Robinshutt, Jimmy Caghutt, Marlon Brandhutt (doing his Vito Coleonhutt mumble) ... sheesh. The gangster Hutts were frankly and completely embarassing and marked the moment I stopped watching the series, even though Truman Copothutt did get waxed by his kidney-shaped…

Oooo! I remember those air-blaster toys like the kid in #2 is holding. They would shoot a "ball of air" and knock down lightweight targets. Of course, if you jammed the barrel with mud, they would knock down much heavier targets, and PUT YOUR EYE OUT! . Good times. Good times.

I think less "Mad Men" and more "Samurai Jack," but hey, anything that can help to bring Jules Verne's visionary genius to the ignorant masses is okay in my book.
