They could at least throw in some adultery.

Woohoo! Uh, I mean, ARRR!

Science experiments? Reverse engineering? Meticulous record-keeping? What kind of Space Pirates are these guys? Do they even bother attacking space ships on the high space, making off with their space swag while gulping pints of space grog? Where are the space pirate space traditions of yesterspaceyear, the space

I would be remiss if I didn't link to Davy Jones's guest spot on Hey Arnold! (exclusively referred to, by multiple characters, as "singing sensation and former Monkee Davy Jones"), singing a quite groovy version of "Miss Suzy Had a Tugboat."

It is? Woohoo!

If Dark Woods Justice doesn't end up with the deputies discovering the entrance to the Black Lodge, then what's the point?

Flash goes out to get everyone tacos in mid-swing.

The TV shows are a whole separate entity from the movies. That shouldn't be an issue.

Good lord, no.

"Hey Kara, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern just bet me they can beat us at ping-pong, let's go show 'em who's boss."

Given the pedigree, I assume it has wacky tongue-in-cheek chaos to offer, which would suit me just fine.

Oh, I wish.

Hm, looks silly, which is a good thing from the Saints Row team. Seems like they're going for an even-more-ridiculous-GI-Joe angle, which could be promising. I hope the comedy writing's sharper for the actual game, as this trailer had more than its share of cliches ("Sorry I'm late" is Action Screenwriting Public

Ugh, that sounds really lame. Sorry to hear it. The BSA recently ditched its no-homo policy (for the kids, at least, I think gay adults are still verboten), and naturally a lot of the church-based troops protested. I wish the organization wasn't so thoroughly intertwined with organized religion, but without church

I had the good fortune to be part of a Scout troop that wasn't affiliated with a religious institution, so we didn't have to deal with that segment of the organization. It also meant we didn't have to give a shit about our Scouts' sexual orientation, which was nice.

Man, that movie confounds me. It's a fine idea for an adaptation (I guarantee you the phrase "Dirty Dozen with supervillains" was used at least once in the pitch meetings, and rightly so), but the timing is weird, when Warner Bros. is just starting to get their DC films off the ground, and everything in the

I worked a lot! I had my usual part-time job, did a bunch of copywriting, and got a surprise proofreading assignment at rush-job rates (kaching! Well, not that much, but still). Like all my proofreading assignments, the subject matter was entertainingly bizarre (I proofread manga, is what I'm saying here). And I still

Space blessings upon the anniversary of your expulsion from the womb!

She'll have to fight Angela Basset for it!
