Hal Jordan vs Parallax
If anything shows how little energy they put into this movie, it's that the writers apparently couldn't be bothered to even learn that Hal Jordan and Parallax were the same person. After his city was destroyed, he went crazy and started killing other green lanterns for their rings.

Wait, why is bad that the cryo-statis units had mute buttons on the outside? When my victims defrost and start screaming, I sure as fuck don't want to hear that shit.

Jesus fuck!
Another goddam' Fanning!?

That sort of sounds like the original intent of the West Wing, in that President Bartlett was only intended to show up occasionally. However, he was such a good character they ended up using him a lot more. I imagine the same thing would happen here. Also, as a viewer, I think I'd spend most of my time thinking

I'll bite on this one- Minecraft is awesome, but it's also more than $10. After the exchange rate, the alpha version was like $12 American.

I can dig it.

I'm still confused.
… was he a ruler who was cool, was he a yardstick by which you could measure cool (so as so assign something an objective "cool" value), or did he hold dominion over the concept of "cool"?

@Pieman: Thank you, I thought it was just me. I'm at about the the same point, and while I liked the books well enough, I got tired of Kirkman's heavy-handed dialogue. If a character just watched his wife get torn apart by zombies, his best friend was shot to death, and he can't take it any more, his dialogue is,

His testimony, as comedy was hit or miss, with a few good lines, but damn, he was basically doing 5 minutes of standup in front of the deadest audience imaginable. Every joke landed with a dead thud, and it was excruciating to watch. In those terms, I think this was even worse than the 2006 White House speech.

Shuli?

Ooooh, so close.

A happy coincidence.
Just last night I watched that X Files episode where The Cigarette Smoking Man got his story published in "Roman a Clef" magazine. After seeing mentioned it here, I looked up the term, and now I get the joke! Thanks AV Club!

Also, as a younger woman, she was Chief of the Santa Barbara Police Department, so she's got some familiarity with detective work.

I agree. You have a phone, modified by adding a camera, so it's a camera-phone. A phone, covered in feces would be a shit-phone, assuming you were referring to the phone. If you were referring to the shit, you'd differentiate it from the rest of your shit by referring to it as your phone-shit.

Deputy Mayor, I don't share your love, but I definitely watch those ads and think "I want to know what's doing underneath that smock."

A long time coming….
I kind of wanted to see this movie when it came out, so I've been sitting on this article since it was written to avoid spoilers. It's been sitting in my RSS reader, staring at me for almost two months. Today, the DVD finally arrived from Netflix. I watched the movie, read the MYOF, and the

Whatever happened to Whitley Rackham?
He hosted Love Line for a little while after Headbanger's Ball, but then he sort of faded away.

I agree, I'd watch that. I kind of want to, actually.

Back to the Future 3
Why is the method of time travel for back to the future 3 (from 1955 to 1885) marked with a purple line for "Unknown Method"? That should clearly be red, for "Time Machine", since Marty used the DeLorean to travel there and back to 1985. This error invalidates the whole infographic.

Misleading Title
The title of this article is misleading. To prevent further confusion, either the magazine titled "Rolling Stone" will have to be shut down, or the United States and UK governments will have to pass a law restricting anyone but Mick Jagger from performing songs originally made famous by the band "The
