Oh, boats do attract many topless women. Art cars at Burning Man, however, attract legions of topless women with an alphabet soup of designer drugs coursing through their bloodstream promoting the perfect amount of happy bouncing.

Partied on this car while Robot Heart was doing a set at the burn a few years back. It's pretty damned awesome, but art cars are all (without exception) money-pits that make owning a boat seem like a wise investment. (Of course, you're more likely to have beautiful topless women on your art car than on your boat.)

Okay, it took me a while, but I was wondering why it felt so oddly familiar when Clara called the sonic screwdriver the doctor's "spanner". Anyone else think that was a sly Community/Inspector Spacetime reference?

But that particular child was the "Queen of Ages", meaning that she had the entire civilization's full history (all stories, songs, art, etc) in her head, even if she hadn't experienced any of it personally.

Anyone else open this review thinking it was going to be a book by one of the two guys who does the weekly commentary on the PBS Newshour? I was really confused during the first paragraph until I figured it out.

Well, with any luck they're still rendering the zombies and what we're seeing now are the 75% complete versions. I have noticed a bump in the effects since the first trailer came out (the zombie-ant-pile climbing the wall in that trailer all seemed to be fairly grey and monotone, while in this trailer it seemed that

Are you saying that the US dollar had -500% inflation from the 1970s to the 1990s? Damn I guess Reagan really was awesome! (Yea, comparing the price of silver to the dollar isn't perfect, but its fairly effective at measuring the actual purchasing power of that silver. That is thanks to the fact that dollars are, you

The "exposé" elements are likely just as much fantasy as the traditional thriller structure. Advocates for the rights of sex workers are constantly working to break the human trafficking hysteria by pointing out how little of it is based in fact. Unfortunately, they have to contend with fiction like this that pretends

Oh good god, the deeper I dig into the internet about this movie, the more hilarious everything gets. From the director's biography:

I seriously want more background on this thing? Who is distributing it? Who financed it? I'd like to imagine it was a Kickstarter effort, and this what the people who donate to Ron Paul decided to spend their money on once he finally admitted that 90% of the country does not want him to be president.

Ryan McGee, cast out and cursed, examines the wasteland before him. He had a loving sitcom, once, in a time he dare not recall. Those memories only make his current reality TV hellscape feel that much worse.

Nah, I think in this is definitely a reality show. What you are describing in your example of following an athlete/performer around as they train would be a documentary series. (And if would be called Circus, it would have aired on PBS back in 2010 and it would be completely awesome.)

Review. Every. Episode.

I enjoyed the episode quite a bit, but it needed another 30 minutes. I remember hearing Marc ask if John wanted to play some songs and being a bit disappointed that the story was being cut off there.

Yea. While I can't say the writing has been faultless, I would say the editing and directing this season are what has really fallen short compared to the previous years. There was at least one moment this episode (and now I'm blanking on what it was) where they went to a reaction shot for a joke and just let it linger

That would have been absolutely brilliant, and probably have cost double the entire budget of season 4.

I imagine it must be. We've almost halfway through the season now, and Chase apparently left with a few episodes to go, which happened a few weeks after the incident. Sometimes I think Pierce's racism was becoming a bit of willful antagonism on the part of the writers towards Chase, but then again I think it's also an

I'm impressed by just how clearly Rabin was able to say "Britney Spears was clearly on meth" in this article without running the risk of a libel suit.

Yea, Hoffman was definitely not the shining star of Infomania, though I thought he was fun. Brett's stuff was definitely the best of the show (and he'd probably be doing season 5 of "Viral Video Film School" right now if it had debuted on Comedy Central instead of Current.)
