Live in my own egg?

Globally, Obama’s image is mostly positive. Across the
40 countries polled, a median of 65% say they have confidence in Obama to do the right thing in world affairs. A median of just 27% lack
confidence in the American leader. Overall, Obama remains much more popular globally than his predecessor, but opinions vary

Films made to appeal to an international audience (World of Warcraft, for example) seem to pay less attention to nuances that wouldn't be appreciated by non-English-speaking audiences. Who cares about the dialogue, as long as the explosions are good? And that might affect my enjoyment of these movies. Is it xenophobic

Those timecops were very slack. The Voyager crew loved helping themselves to bits of technology from the future, which seems like an excessively easy solution to any problem.
"Hey, I came here from the future to ask you to do something different."
"Thanks, future dude. But since you're here, why don't we use your future

Most of the first two seasons of TNG were badly written. If you want to give it another chance, you need to skip some episodes.

Bah! Kids! In my day we ran around injured until we trod on a first-aid kit.

Well in my fan-fiction sequel to that play, Steptoe turns out to have been a vampire all along. He rises from the grave, and together they fight crime.

Not true.
In the last episode (Steptoe And Son 8E7 A Perfect Christmas) Steptoe and Son are going away on holiday. At the end 'Son' discovers that his passport is out of date and he must stay behind. When Steptoe has gone, 'Son' stops feigning sadness, and gets in a car with an attractive woman and drives away,

Oh yeah? Can you prove that none of them were actually into witchcraft? I mean, some of them had "books on palmistry, horoscopes, or even pots of ointment"! What more evidence do you need?

"I tend to define "social justice warriors" as those mostly getting outraged for the sake of attention and being as annoying as possible about it."
Half the internet - and more than half the AV Club - define "social justice warrior" as "something a bigot calls a non-bigot, in an attempt to make it look like standing up

True mass hysteria is when large numbers of people do things that are clearly insane, like dancing themselves to death, or suffering psychosomatic symptoms. A widely held false belief is often referred to as mass hysteria, but if that counts, then most religions are also examples of mass hysteria (since presumably at

The fighter pilot on the right is doing the somewhat ridiculous "contort your spine so they can see your breasts and buttocks simultaneously" pose.

I had to stare at "Black Panda" for a while to work out who it was a parody of. Then I thought, "Black Panther? But that's already an animal!"

Bizarre 'alley behind the restaurant' nightmare scene? Hapless hitman scene?
Club Silencio?

In Star Trek III, we're seeing the Bird of Prey from the original unaltered time-stream. Scotty massively altered the past in Star Trek IV, by selling advanced technology to 1980's earth, and the changes rippled back to before they made the time jump.

Not winning over the public with your argument doesn't mean that you were wrong.

From left-to-right:

I'm not a fan of sports. I dislike tribalism, the mentality that divides humanity into 'us' and 'them'. In a ball game, neither side is the villain. One side wins and is happy. The other side loses and is miserable. It doesn't really matter which way round it is, but people convince themselves that it is vitally

I'm more into OJ as a Naked Gun actor and murder suspect than his previous career.

If that game had happened a few days earlier, the self-confidence/testosterone levels of England would have fallen, and Brexit would have lost the vote.
