I'm just putting this out there, but Raistlin is one of the best characters in, like, literature. I mean Hamlet was tortured and great and all but were his pupils the shape of hourglasses because he could see everything dying? I submit that they were not.

Thank you, yes. ROTK was also more than 10 years ago (omgggg), and I still love those battle scenes … And look, there would *be* no GoT series on this scale if there had been no LOTR movies. Back when they came out that was the hope, remember? That big-budget fantasy epics could be taken seriously; their success —…

The AV Club:
"…simulate[s] the vision of psychopaths with startling and disturbing accuracy."

The weird thing is that fake-Moody seemed to genuinely care for Harry et al. One could argue that he had to play his part, but did he have actually be fatherly, or act so kindly towards Neville (whose parents he, um, helped torture into madness), and actually educate all those kids, including teaching them to throw…

What always bothered me about the tournament is they gathered the whole school to watch each challenge, but no one could see a damn thing after the first one: the second one was underwater, and the third was in the middle of a mist-covered maze. It's like watching downhill skiing or something; everyone sits out in the…

Just in case no one's seen this yet (I imagine someone has posted it in the DS9 reviews already somewhere) may I highly recommend Larptrek: http://larptrek.com/larptre…

I feel so alone. Gonna renew a tenth season of Bones.

Oh, I like this article. One joke goes one way, one joke goes the other way, and Sean's sayin', "Whaddya want from me?" Guy's got great line breaks, it's beautiful.

Truly, it is as if you know me.

Death, taxes, and data loss. I'm imagining some future anthropologist in 12,000 years unearthing a USB stick and going "the fuck was this?"

Wonderfully said! Likewise even the terrible computer games of the early 80s have a certain fascination, even now, looking back at different ways the medium was developing.

Highlander was a documentary, and the events depicted took place in real time.

ACME Looniversity v. Perfecto Prep ('where winning is the only rule').

OUTLANDAH! OUTLANDAH! We have your woman, Outlander! She still lives!

I'm okay with it.

Yeah Diabolik says that like it's a bad thing.

Depends on how off-put you are by the stepdaughter and stepmom tag-teaming the pool boy?

Seanbaby tends to be hit-and-miss for me within the same *article*. He has some really unfortunate reliance on gay-panic jokes, but at the same time can bust out with something like: "The trapdoor opened and said the only thing trapdoors say: 'What you once loved belongs to the darkness now.' "

There's a seanbaby Cracked article on the 5 biggest cheaters in gameshow history (so you know, depending on how you feel about seanbaby and/or cracked; I imagine not all are fans) that's actually pretty good. It describes this episode as well as what happened afterwards — if you want the short version of the This…

For me the music videos they did for Tiny Toons played a huge role. I love that Spiraling Shape is on the Brain Candy soundtrack, though. That's actually kind of a great soundtrack (including, especially, Bruce's 'Some Days it's Dark").
