Love that you're doing this El-P. I loved this series when it came out and it was fun to watch that classic ep yesterday. I wish netflix had any of these classic DCAnimated seasons on instant, but nope not a one. I found the first ten or so eps online, so I'm with you at least until then.

No paddling or paper cuts necessary. The barbed wit/hateful outrage of the commentariat will be ritual mutilation enough.

I don't agree that she even attempts to maintain that illusion. Look at nearly any passage in the book and you will see that Bainbridge allows a single character's POV/thoughts/biases to color and inform that passage. This isn't objective observation. It's a story told through multiple subjective POVs. It's an…

I didn't mind the trial documents, though I'll admit that some of the repetition could have been cut—even if trial documents are really like that, this is a novel and doesn't need to be that painstakingly true to life. For me, they paid off in the final section of the book when we finally see Watson's…

I'm not married, but damn this book was painful for me to read. A couple that never forgets real and imagined slights and uses them as ammo in all future arguments? A couple that won't stop reminding each other of their failures? A couple that uses things said in confidence and in moments of weakness/need for…

Objective narrator?
Zach briefly mentions an objective narrator above, but I don't think there is a single passage in the book that was not relayed and colored by a subjective, unreliable narrator. The narrative voice enters and leaves various characters heads (in sort of the same way that the camera shifts from…

Bruce Wayne even went so far as to have a road encircle the place to look exactly like the chest logo. Pwned.

There was this black girl in my dorm in college and that was "her song" so she played it over and over and over. I wanted to kill her it drove me so nuts.

@ George Liquor: go to Radio Shack and tell them you want to hook up your laptop to your television and they'll sell you the two cords (audio and S video I believe) that will allow you to watch netflix on your tv. It worked for me anyway.

Public schools are literally killing our children literally.
If this had been a charter school, Tami wouldn't have had to work that dance to get another teacher to join the homework club. Charter school teachers jump at the chance to work overtime for no pay (and hey, who doesn't?).

Saw it in Darjeeling Limited.

So is Fred Van Lente officially rich now? Good for him.

What are you looking at, dicknose?

Inglorious Basterds is 100% about the power of movies, or at least the power of stories, so it belongs on this list.

This camp is gonna work like the beach on Lost. Every so often, a new character comes into focus who we never really noticed before but the characters all act as if he's been there all along. Then that "new" guy is gonna be mauled to hell by zombies. Repeat forever.

Given how slowly this series is moving and how slowly the comics series moves (how much time has passed in 78 issues? Maybe a year?) the actor who plays Carl is going to look way too old if this thing makes it to a third or fourth season.

I'm not in college (though I have multiple online degrees from various e-niversities).

I've never heard of a school that judges student applications on sexual promiscuity. If there really is a school that uses sexual promiscuity as a public or secret admissions disqualifier, then I'd be outraged to find out about it and I'd hope that school would get sued and the people in charge would get fired. I…

When did I ever write anything like you should leave the deer alone? I'm just pointing out the holes in your logic and your justifications for doing so. I think you might be able to make a reasonable argument for killing deer, but you haven't even come close. And your eco-mysticism is painful to read. Seriously,…
