Kudos, sir, for being a bigger Futurama nerd than me.

When did Fry admit to shitting in a wastebasket?
I honestly don't remember this.

"He fell off the bed and died of massive head trauma."
Nope, nothing suspicious about that at all, just carry on not investigating this death.

New Universe got sabotaged by Marvel execs that had it in for Jim Shooter. Thus, the writers that the line received were fresh-faced nobodies that didn't have a handle on the medium yet. Too bad, too, since the concepts were pretty interesting. My favourites were DP7 and Psi-Force, but the lack of coherent

Sweet, they answered my question
I really should check the AV Club more often but I was celebrating the Lunar New Year. Thanks for the ID, Noel, I definitely will be tracking down some Fuller movies. I don't even remember them saying anything about bayonets in the movie so maybe that's why I couldn't remember it.

I love how the movie implies that Beowulf's power came from his nakedness. At least, that's how I saw it.

I'm just glad they didn't have a 10-minute stretch of darkness right where the text had the destroyed pages.

I feel slightly ripped-off
When I saw the title of this post I thought somebody had actually blogged their "perfect orgy".

I'm apparently a pervert
I've seen most of the nude scenes here (even the guys'),

There's also a strong anti-union sentiment in America, probably arising from jealousy. I think most people just wish they had a strong union themselves, and transfer their hate of management to the people who can actually fight their own bosses.

Fanboy nitpick
Lobo says "frag", not "frak". You're getting your censor-skirting euphemisms confused. Also, Alan Grant is ten times the Lobo writer Sam Kieth is.

Alternately, just pirate the shit out of Miracleman
Bittorrent, DC++, or whatever method you prefer. That's how I was able to read Miracleman. My favourite story is the one where Miracleman is acknowledged as pretty much the epitome of Nazi ideology. Doesn't stop the Nazis from trying to kill him, though.

What's a skip tracer?
And why do you have to work there at night?

Scientists don't try to find socially relevant uses for their discoveries. They just want to be left alone so they can measure the rate at which mold grows on cave walls or figure out how to build a thermometer that can measure temperatures close to absolute zero. This guy sounds more like a science prof university

BTW, the sociology department at my old university kept trying to present itself as a science; they would totally go apeshit if someone called them "liberal arts".

That was meant more a dig at tenured profs who just snooze their way to retirement. The course itself sounds like its tailored for arts majors who just want to fulfill the science requirement of their degree. "Oh wow, so cavemen didn't actually look like Brendan Fraser?"

Look up bittorrent, jacobus.

Stupid tenured profs
Quit teaching your stupid liberal arts course and go do some real science.

I was hoping you'd add The Boondocks
Or maybe South Park. You've only done one episode each of these funny, funny shows.
