Ahem. Excuse me. I believe you meant "scourge". Scurge is a Romanian word of Latin origin whose possible definitions don't fit with your apparent intent. Just thought you might want to know you were misusing it.

I think what you meant to say is: READER RAGE AT INTERNET HYPE ENGINE REACHES BOILING POINT

Hello. I'm new the internet, am unfamiliar with frequent sarcasm, and have not yet figured out how to use my capslock key.

No argument about Interstellar's trailer. If only it had been at more than one showing. The vast majority of the trailers (and today's showing had an unprecedented number of trailers) were embarrassingly bad, though not so bad that they didn't get laughs.

Every time I've seen Guardians, there have been some really really lousy trailers in front of it. And every time, people have laughed at the worst jokes. People yanking people out of chairs by their catheters? Check. Tiny people being peed on by a monkey, twice? Check. Steve Carell getting kicked by a kangaroo? Check.…

So...you're saying you're to blame for this news?

I've heard specifically to the contrary on this one. I loved it, but a number of scenes highlighted what I find inherently faulty about 3D.

I'm glad Guardians is doing so well, but these days even really lousy movies do well (even if great ones sometimes (but not reliably enough) do better). There's no culling of the cinematic genepool.

I think that'd be a bit of a stretch too. There was one disaster, and it was averted. That's generally called a superhero movie. Or even just an action movie. Part of the movie's plot did revolve around the potential for the bomb to go off, but there were other things going on.

I had a similar experience, though I liked him the first time and loved him the second. Actually, everything improved upon second viewing, hard as it was to top.

Largely agree with you, but a bit of pedantry here. Nothing in Batman (not even the third) was "disaster porn". Every movie by Roland Emmerich? That's disaster porn. Characters? Plot? Story? All out the window in favor of more and bigger explosions (on a scale that Michael Bay doesn't conceive of). Man of Steel's…

That's kind of exactly what he said in the first part of his sentence "Other than a really wink wink nod nod to the fans reference...".

Common Sense, aside from generally being neither, applies in situations where there is widely understood collective experience. That wouldn't apply here were new people are taking part. A veteran stoner might think it obvious that you only eat a tiny portion of a special brownie, but no one else thinks that a single…

It might be more accurate. "Alleged purpose" would be fine too. However, it'd only be better if you stop believing the lie. It's just a silly over-indulgent "lets give ourselves a hand for doing a great job" party.

The latter half is true. The first half isn't. It'd be nice if it were, but you're kidding yourself if you really believe it.

I had less than 0 interest in this being made before. He's painfully juvenile and often fans and writers tend toward casual misogyny while wallowing in that range of humor.

Nah, with a Masters' you're overqualified for an establishment deserving of the title restaurant. Folks with Masters' get stuck at feed-bag type places. And heaven help you if you've got a PhD.

Sure, it follows Spanish rules, which is why most Americans will take time to get it.

The Mars part is a fair gripe, but it's not fair to say that "you just say all the letters that you see written down there" because many Italian ones have silent endings. If they said Mascarpon, I'd say they erred on the side of caution.

That's another one I cut people slack on. Ciabatta itself is barely 30 years old. It didn't make it to the US until 1987 and that was through Cleveland, land of trendsetting. It hasn't appeared commonly until the last few years and still hasn't reached a critical mass of proper pronunciation. Until there are enough…
