It was too controversial to pass the ratings board.

But what of the spankings and buggery?  Might we indulge in some Gilbert and Sullivan while we fondly remember our school days in Eton?

I don't remember the title of the story, but I bought a collection of Lovecraft stories from the bargain bin, and the one about an old man in a failing family discovering his ancestor went to Africa, absconded with an evolved gorilla female, and brought it back to America was pretty terrible.  The subtext was pretty…

His Azazel stories were fun.

Asians in Asia have a propensity to be clueless to all the derogatory terms that exist for them in the West, plus they didn't grow up being called "Chinkee" by white kids pulling their eyes sideways, so they find the whole thing more puzzling than hurtful.

Yes, but she got aged back to 18.  Finn was 13 at the time, now he's 14, therefore it's been a year and she should have aged another year herself.

If Finn is 14 now, then shouldn't PB have turned 19 as well?

The first two Blade movies were good, and they were standalone.  Guillermo del Toro definitely did put his stamp on the second movie.  The third one sucked, but I'd chalk it up more to Wesley Snipes being a lazy pothead, rather than the director.

Yeah, it's got that, "We invaded another country and it was a total bummer.  Poor us" vibe of most Vietnam War movies from the US (and also what we're getting now with Iraq c.f. The Hurt Locker).  Yes, the worst part of the war is how it affected the US.

John Redcorn was a roadie for Winger.

My favourite Peggy episode is the one where she buys a bookstore which turns out to have been unprofitable all along.  She has to bring in Dale as a partner, who uses the store to secretly sell guns without a license.  Dale sets up a shooting range in the basement and using her unsold books for target practice.  The…

That never made sense to me.  What kind of high school has that much HF?  Most of the time in high school chemistry you'd use HCl anyway.  Plus why would they use gas masks when they could just install a fume hood and not have to worry about dangerous gases floating around in the chemistry lab?

Mel Gibson and Jet Li both fall in the water, where Gibson conveniently finds a machine gun at the bottom.  I'm not even kidding.

So this isn't the big-budget movie about Josef Stalin I was expecting?

Also, not too many people know this but Kryptonian men have no pubic hair.  Kryptonian women, though, look like they have a tarantula attached to their nether regions.

This is also how Superman shaves his armpits and chest.

Who was he going to cap?!

Bill Nye has the best explanation, probably because he's used to explaining arcane science facts in a simple manner.

I'm responding to the Archmage here.  You write that Harry Kim is the best written and competently acted Asian character on Star Trek, and that is true and so, so sad.  I kept hoping he would turn interesting, but he just played Vulcan chess and got a weird STD.

That issue of Locke and Key with the key that turns white people black is one of the stupidest things about race relations ever written (SPOILERS FOLLOW).  Hill probably thought he was being profound or something, but come on.  At a conceptual level, the idea is just stupid, but the execution was even dumber.  The…
