That was one of the few movies I've ever seen where I thought changing the original story for the film was an improvement.

How many teenagers, especially 14 year olds, do you know that have taken a philosophy class? Aside from that, it's so nice to see someone proving the person I was actually TALKING to wrong. Oh wait...

I'm not a big Beyonce fan (yah, I know, don't care, loved them as Destiny's Child when I was a teen, but she's not bad, I'm just not a big fan of pop music in general the past few years), but her and Blue's Micheal and Janet Jackson costumes were just precious as hell. I love it. So cute.

I'm talking about his actual WORK, here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/articl… which outright states, and I quote: "Simple reaction time measures correlate substantially with measures of general intelligence (g) and are considered elementary measures of cognition. In this study we used the data on the secular…

False. Even on intelligence alone, we have declined 14 points on average since the Victorian Era. Not to mention the constant threat that one single nuclear reactor has a truly catastrophic event that makes a vast swathe uninhabitable which leaves other reactors untendable, and eventually snowballs into an ELE. And…

It's a shame for people who have nothing more fulfilling in life than to hate someone else's teenage kids they've never met. I can't imagine what an unhappy life that must be. Personally, I think they both seem very philosophical, intelligent, and precocious for their ages.

Wow. She's reading about the Flower of Life at her age? Precocious, very precocious if the comprehension is there. Sacred geometry is a beautiful area of study. I'm more for philosophy, but my husband loves that book. I imagine she might also be interested in some of Walter Russell's work too. His alternate take on…

I dislike liver of all kinds, so agree. There are lots of chicken parts that are great on toast. Liver is just.... questionable at best and disgusting at worst.

Next best thing: salty watermelon vodka. I swear it is just... surprisingly good. It's the only salty watermelon thing I've ever tried, and it was amazing.

Yeah, both the writing and acting during the story were superb. It is one of the most emotionally effecting scenes I've witnessed in anything fictional in my life, hell, more than some of the stuff in real life, which is the part that gets me. I didn't cry when my favorite uncle died, and I wept for that man and his…

That presupposes a literal interpretation, and not just that, but a literal translation of the bible in its current form, which is missing over 200 books and writings between the apocryphal writings, the septuagint, the pseudepigrapha, the dead sea scrolls at qumran, the nag hammadi library texts and more that have…

Thank you! I was just.... that broke my -heart- to watch that. I cried. That will haunt me in a way I don't know I've ever been haunted by something on television before. That was just... a whole new level of sad and hurtful to watch someone hurt that way and be so profoundly alone, having so much of what they loved…

Uh... Twisty was mentally retarded in some profound developmental way, and it was extremely obvious. Like... literally every second of his story showed that. From the speech patterns and word choices to the story about his mother and the failed toy thing, to him actually trying to 'save' the kids and genuinely…

Agreed and agreed. But allow me to elaborate with a 2k word response (a picture being worth a thousand words and all... :) )

Right? People love to read headlines and have kneejerk reactions to them without ever bothering to peruse the actual article. If I recall right, that article was about how being a 'gamer' is dead, because that was a niche identity and gaming is now mainstream, widespread, more or less, gaming has arrived, and so it…

It's almost like that's a kneejerk reaction to a headline on an article you didn't read, about how gaming as a niche is dead because it's now mainstream, you know, as in MORE POPULAR THAN EVER. But of course, no one can take the time to read an actual article before responding to it with a force five freak out,…

I am, myself, a proud feminist, and someone who grew up gaming, first with her father and cousin, and then with friends, and now with my husband. While I can appreciate a lot of what you posted up until a point, you totally lost me at the declaration of Anita Sarkeesian as a 'fake feminist'. Claiming that the ocean is…

Yeah, yesterday's episode hit all the right emotional notes. It was probably the single best episode I've seen, of any season. Coven was my favorite, but I was massively disappointed by the supreme that turned out to be the one. I so thought it should've been Stevie Nicks Jr. the resurrectionist. Then again, I was…

that wasn't really scary at all, in fact... I felt so bad for him after that, the kind of constant suffering that living that way must be. :(

I didn't like season one and barely watched an episode all the way through, the rest of them I'd just get bored and wind up doing other stuff. Season 3 was amazing, and the promise of Stevie Nicks (my heroine as an artist and fashionista) kept me hooked and I loved it, so I forced myself to watch all of season 4 so…
