First, he tenderizes their faces, and then he tenderizes their hearts.

The key difference between practical FX and CG is that if everything is CG, the actors spend all of their time interacting with a ping pong ball in front of a green screen, making it harder for them to get into character. With practical effects, on the other hand, actors have something physical in front of them to key…

Man, the original had two great songs: Everyone knows the theme song (which is great), but it also had “Savin’ the Day,” which is pretty much the perfect Summer Strut song.

Agreed. They are probably also a bit miffed that Schumer and GQ are using their IP to promote someone else’s movie.

Fine, but this is the LAST Airbender.

And yet, you somehow missed the best Jack Frost: The Russo-Finnish co-production lampooned in a memorable MST3K episode!

Have you seen Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness? Raimi can do quippy. In fact, that sort of madcap energy from the Evil Dead movies would be a perfect fit for the Turtles. Plus, if he could find a role for Bruce Campbell, so much the better!

I’d say that another difficulty is that D&D looks very different from campaign to campaign. For some players, it’s a low-level campaign to deal with a lost dungeon infested with zombies and goblins. For others, it’s a grand cosmic adventure filled with demons and deities. Some campaigns are deadly serious, while…

Gotta’ love how they can say the punishment was for corruption, when really it was for narcing on all the other scum-bags.

Forget it, Frosted Nuts. This is CONCACAFtown.

Donnie Yen as a Jedi? Yes, please! I was a huge fan of Ip Man, where he basically plays a Tom Hanks character who first tenderizes your face, and then he tenderizes your heart. Seriously, a fantastic martial artist, and a great actor who can project grace, warmth, charm, and general affability. I would love to see him…

Ms. OfNothing and I have named our cats after the hosts of the Dax symbiote from DS9. Our first cat was Curzon Dax, and our current kitty is Lela Dax.

In terms of the amount of information you can gather, unmanned probes, drones, and rovers can gather about as much data (if not more) than a physically-present human, with far less risk and cost associated. Sending humans to Mars is cool, but it is a monumentally expensive and risky endeavor for little more than a…

The thing about Venture Bros. is that, while it starts with Johnny Quest parodies, it’s a lot more than that. There’s a real sense of pathos to the characters, even if they started as goofs on existing characters. Come for the references and parodies, but stay for the plot development, character growth, and general…

I too cry at movies. Thankfully, my wife loves this about me.

I’d bank on a copywriting/editing fail before a nefarious plot by executives fearful of a backlash. The fact is that grown adults generally don’t read that stuff.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is more than a little anger that doesn’t appear online.

“It was a cold, gray November morning in New York City, New York. I was a young, fresh-faced go-getter making my way in the Big Apple for the first time. As I walked down 99th street, the smell of fresh corned beef wafted out of the local deli and slapped me in the nostrils with a flavor that said ‘I am corned. I am…

Cleaning up the holodeck after Commander Riker.

The tricky thing with instances like Hope Solo is that positions with nuance are often misread. If I read this position right, it boils down to the following points:
