So, Private First Class Parts, are you making assumptions about most West Virginians based on the "few" you've known?

Thanks for the link, Toasterlad (are you in the Legion of Substitute Heroes?).  Wherever she first appeared, it still looks like Infantino and Julie Schwartz get credit for her actual creation.

Did he actually create the Babara Gordon Batgirl?  I thought she had appeared on the tv series first, and then was brought into the comics.

HipsterDBag:  In the end, there can be only one (cue the Queen soundtrack).

@avclub-50e9ea9c1bc5e6067ab7c0d8fbdd5f21:disqus Please explain the distinction between "cutting down my banana tree", "bushwacking", and "jacking off."

Yea, but in the end it's no more ridiculous than the basic idea that a being who evolved on a far distant planet with gravity many times that of earth would in any way resemble a human being.

Yeah, stupid or not, he was 19 and somebody's child.

@avclub-16db446cafb1ffb1466e71eaf97a4f49:disqus If you're also dressed in the Zardoz garb from your avatar photo during your night patrols, I can just about guarantee you any intruders would be heading for the hills (or strangely aroused, it all depends).

It's true you can't copyright a title, but I believe you can trademark a "brand" name, a heading under which Star Wars and Charlie's Angels would fall.  Someone whith a better grasp of these things can either confirm or contradict this.

@avclub-0e44b6bfd005143da5862c20405e6bf1:disqus I tend to agree.  Witnessing Ragnar engage in, or even actively encouraging, sexual violence would almost certainly destroy any sympathetic feelings most viewers hold for him.

I'm reminded of Robert Adams' "Horseclans" novels.(for those unfamiliar, these are post-apocalyptic fantasies set hundreds of years in the future, featuring a nomadic warrior tribe led by Milo Morai, a Highlander-like immortal from our era who survived the cataclysm that destroyed civilization).

@avclub-eaaf6236c28c668e40fdf9b17394b7ec:disqus I just read an article claiming that DNA evidence shows that neanderthals were a fairly incestuous species.  Perhaps this explains it.  I don't know if such activity is depicted in this movie, but maybe leave the kids at home just in case.

I think it drives citizens of other democratic nations up the wall when Americans refer to our president as "The leader of the free World."  This was especially true during the Bush years but remains true today.  Really, did the hundreds of millions of free people outside the US get a vote?

Eats, shoots, leaves.

I was abandoned at a movie theater on my birthday, does that count?

Yeah, Bob's definitely from the Barney Fife school of law enforcement.  Makes me wondere what Barney would have been like if Andy had allowed him to carry more than one bullet.

Is Peter Dinklage playing him in the next X-Men movie?

But did the ads really cause a huge stink?  They ran for years, as I recall, well into the 80s.

I'm surprised the review doesn't mention the source of the song's title, those ads that ran for years for Geritol or some such dietary suppliment, where the husband looks lovingly at his wife and says, "I think I'll keep her."

"Gabriel Byrne's little bald dude is kind of a dick."  Coincidentally, his dick is a little bald dude.
