I was focused on the question of how a democracy decides to go with a government monopoly for broadcasting compared to the United States' private, competitive system, which developed only slightly earlier. And the secondary question of why a government monopoly emerged as one of the most trusted news sources in the…

This is almost as bad as the time that neocon shitlord Elvis wrote Viva Las Vegas, which thoughtlessly celebrated the city and totally failed to address its high divorce rates, unstable housing market and contribution to gambling addiction.

As a lifetime Jets fan, I can say the Jets don't need any help losing. They do just fine on their own.

I don't know why they're looking at such high profile actors. Hasn't their goal mostly been to cast unknown/little known actors so that they can put their budget in the effects? Do they feel they need a big name to carry this character? Let me tell you, none of their choices are particularly exciting and some of…

Well, the NFL (and Deadspin) need their story lines. And they are not afraid to protect them. Billion dollar industries are not left to chances.

Did this come from Lucas? If so, we can all be surprised that his real name didn't turn out to be Emp R. R. Palpatine.

For whatever reason, he's actually going by "Alejandro G. Iñárritu" for this film. Not sure why that's changed.

Your move, Marvel. WB has officially announced it for 2017, and Sony is rumoured to have a female super-hero movie then too. Get you ass in gear Feige.

I think the people in charge now aren't worrying about it. Humans aren't stupid. They understand multiple interpretations. No one confused all the different Sherlock Holmes adaptations.

His acting chops are SUPERB he's awesome. I'm so totally into this casting. It's inspired.

Honestly, I loved them too, and felt like they underscored the importance of the event.

I love my foil covered X-Men: Alpha (beginning of the AoA storyline), my foil covered X-Men: Omega, my translucent plastic-covered X-Men: Prime, my triple-gatefold covered X-Men: Onslaught and Onslaught: Marvel Universe, my...

LOVED. IT.

since there hasnt been a mention of Iris having a brother Daniel, and shes also a little young to have an appropriately Wally aged nephew, I imagine they'll just make Wally her cousin instead of nephew and he'll go by Impulse instead of Kid Flash.

I was thinking about this the other day, and the answer came to me: Corporate logos. They're *everywhere* — on buildings, on documents, on our clothing and toys. Some of them make no sense out of context. The most obvious explanation is that they're religious symbols for a dizzyingly-wide pantheon of gods. …

Strange robotic creatures surrounded by dizzyingly different architectural styles all on top of an elaborate network of tunnels. With said tunnels connected directly to garbage receptacles on the surface.

I like this song because Spiderman. And triplets.

So all the solo films we get between A2 and A3 will be leading to A3, just as in previous phases. We'll get Ant Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther and Doctor Strange, probably. That, plus Iron Man, is a great core for an Avengers team that doesn't have Cap, Thor, Black Widow or Hulk (and that team could logically have…

Never thought of it this way, but the comics comparison is so apropos. Well put.
