I guess they've mentioned it many times, so they just skipped it this time over.

No. Nope. Definitely not. I can't remember anything like that happening.
(I can watch pretty much anything. That's one of the few movies that I couldn't finish)

Re-reading Jack Vance. As much fun as I remembered it from when I first read those books as a teenager. Also desperately trying to write yet another 30-page application for a research grant I'm pretty sure I won't get anyway, so what's the point of it all.

Yes, but they never fail to come. The general tone of the comments is therefore much angrier I think. Because who likes to be around those guys?

Let's do the maths : given that the average number of comments for that type of articles is around 500, how many angry comments will there be on this site before the end of the month?

Shut up, Claire !

At least you see his beard, which is probably the most impressive one any philosopher ever had.

Try listening to one of his talks, or an interview. He comes out as warm and humble, it's a pleasure to listen to.
This interview is pretty nice if you understand french: http://www.ina.fr/video/CAF…

The collection has also Pascal, Leibniz, Bachelard, Ricœur, Kierkegaard, Heidegger… I don't know when they'll be translated in english though. They also have a collection of books for even younger kids, from age 4, with titles such as "Why do things have name ?". It's actually very well done and interesting.

Yup, but then most teenagers are, mostly because they're so fucking irrational. I had the exact same group the same year and I really loved teaching them ; they might have been utterly different persons. At some point at that age they just randomly decide that they like or don't like you and there's practically…

That would be the more effective thing to do, I think. (Incidentally, a colleague of mine was put through hell by one group of her students and one time the teenage morons decided to do that to her. They just sat for an hour in silence without so much as acknowledging her questions. That was a very cruel thing to do,…

If this proves correct, Moffat will have achieved his goal of turning Sherlock Holmes into Days of our lives. (Seriously, I liked the first season but the last one was dangerously over the top. They should have stuck with clever whodunnits)

That's depressing.

What is perhaps creepier is that because of Tumblr one cannot read the phrase "Sherlock adult coloring book" without imagining that it's about slash fiction.

Well, yes, at least it proves you can count, and that's very adult, as is well known.

I haven't read the comics. I really liked that opening sequence. Should I see the movie or is it really that bad ?

I think it's a pity he is trying to rebrand himself as an action star. I liked him so much in "the unbearable lightness of books", in which he played a shy librarian whose life is changed when he rediscovers Kirkegaard's writings.

I liked the fight with Batman (which, incidentally, highlighted in my opinion why the two work way better than WW/Superman as a romantic couple)

A League of one is terrific. The first story was my favourite. Calling it a storybook is on the spot, and the two nymphs are a delight.
