I’m always excited for original sci-fi films! Hope it’s successful. 

Showa (昭和) literally means “shinning Japan.”

I passed out one night and fell in the tub (that’s how I realized I locked my knees when I peed and why that’s a bad thing, plus being dehydrated makes it worse

It’s more than just a lopsided bracket. Tomorrow’s loser has to travel significantly less between now and the finals (should they make it that far).

I am head over heels in love with that trailer. This is one I’ll be seeing in theaters. 

Who’s the “Barry” that Ruffalo was worried about?

Why can’t the dares be mundane things like, “I dare you to eat this bowl of cereal” or “I dare you to watch this video of a cat playing with string”?

I’m just curious - are you unable and/or unwilling to read the snippet of article that appears before the break? I can see it on my mobile.

Right. I’m perplexed as to why io9 hasn’t covered this yet, as I’ve read about it elsewhere.

??? Maybe I’m missing the joke, but it’s the first sentence:

Are we looking at the same photo? The one posted above is definitely framed in a way to include the severed heads in the shot.

Right. Even more annoying is that they STILL feel obligated to play music. I tried to take my mom to a bingo night at a local burger place that makes GREAT food — but between the conversation reverberating off the walls and the indie rock they had blaring on top of it, neither of us could hear the announcer calling…

As someone who has never lived near a coast, I also didn’t understand. But I read this on reddit and it’s the best, most thorough explanation I’ve seen:

One big red flag for me is when a product has hundreds of reviews, and you look back to the oldest and it was written 2 weeks ago.

I think it’s a regional thing. That’s how I grew up saying it and hearing it from friends, family, teachers. It wasn’t until I was well into adulthood that I found out it was wrong (I believe it was when people where making fun of how President Bush said it).

I also hate video “articles.” I only wish there was some indication before you clicked the link.

Agreed. Normally I roll my eyes at people who complain about spoilers, but this was pretty egregious. The episode has only been out for 6 days, and many people wait to watch a season until it’s almost over (my dad does this).

Well, for this particular one it’s just cropped. Further down in the article it shows that Modra captured two excellent images. In one, he’s just ahead of the other runners. In the other, he’s far enough ahead that you can crop out everyone else. That’s the one they chose for the cover.

McCain could have killed this on Monday, but he didn’t. So hey...good on him. But if this was some elaborate fuck you to McConnell that he took on his own then he put a LOT of Americans on the edge of their seats for it.

Hmmm. Odd that SO MANY members of the media said the exact same thing then, huh?
