I don't think seeing moments in a trailer really counts as a spoiler.  For one thing, for decades trailers were pretty plot free - they mostly relied on showing the general idea of the film (it's a western, it's SF), and who the big stars were.  Comedies usually got trailers with a few of the best gags in them, which

I'm not sure how a film that is almost universally loved can be considered "most underrated".  Granted, not a lot of people saw it, so "most overlooked," maybe.

I know the chaos theory terms didn't come about until the 70s.  My point was that more specific analogies of butterfly effects predated Bradbury's idea.  It's possible that Lorenz was inspired by Bradbury, but it seems more likely he was inspired by Fort, as his metaphor matches Lorenz's exactly, whereas Bradbury's is

So when did Theron turn into a huge nerd?  First Prometheus, then she says she wants to be in Game of Thrones, now this?  What's next - a Vin Diesel-like reveal that she's been running a Greyhawk campaign?

I did say oops…

Oops.

I liked it too.  Only on reflection did it sink in that this is a line

obviously NOT "without the artistic talent", which makes it come across as a bit mean spirited, when you think about it.  It's one thing for a nonartist like me to say that - it

I've lost track - has this column now covered every one of the pop stars that Bateman profiles in AmPsy?

Xora, I said as much a few weeks ago.  Although I'm sure there are plenty of 20-somethings who enjoy the show, I have a feeling that the haters are almost exclusively 20-somethings as well.  My wife and I (both 40+) really enjoy the show - we can see elements of our own bad behavior (past and present) manifest in the

I'm pretty sure "A Sound of Thunder" is not responsible for the name of the Butterfly Effect, which uses the metaphor of a butterfly flapping its wings in China causing a storm in New York.  The idea's similar, sure, but decades before, the science writer Charles Fort wrote specifically about a migration of birds in
