The thing about Chick-Fil-A waffle fries is that they're often left to get all mushy and bereft of any crisp before they're served to you…and even when you do get them crisp and fresh, you still have only about a 10 minute window to eat them before they become unpalatable. And you have to absolutely douse them with…

Schoolhouse Rock:

There is nothing she does that is not sexy. Maybe I'm just easy to please, but I thought the handjob scene was ridiculously hot.

God, Quitely, talk about splitting my brain in half. There's very little he draws that isn't amazing….except his faces, which look like mashed potatoes. I can't even look at them without getting pissed off.

I actually strongly prefer the way he drew Brock Venom in his first appearance to what the character ultimately become. He had this big, grinning mouth with probably way too many straight teeth…it looked quite a bit more creepy and disturbing than the generic monstrous look with the sharp teeth and giant tongue that…

Alex Ross is terrible. His art, more than any other artist, exposes the inherent ridiculousness of costumed superheroes. I remember my old comic shop had a big poster of Ross's Batman, with the tights lovingly rendered around the thighs and it was the saddest thing I had ever seen. And all his women have gigantic…

I love the Supremes, BUT….
I think the Four Tops got the best HDH material. It always baffles me that the Supremes are the most well-remembered Motown group from that era while the Four Tops are somewhat forgotten (and often see, unjustifiably, as just a Temptations clone).

A lemon party every day!
Hooray!

Raindog, that's kind of the way I feel. But "anyone who has a problem with mob violence cares more about white property than black life" is a pretty simplistic reading of a morally complex situation, too, isn't it? It's a false dichotomy.

"Spike Lee himself, however, has stated that only white viewers ask [if Mookie did 'the right thing']. Lee believes the key point is that Mookie was angry at the death of Radio Raheem, and that the viewers who question the riot's justification are implicitly valuing white property over the life of a black man."

The Wii definitely does not have the speed of today's gaming PCs - it's not even close. There's a gap between the performance of a solid gaming PC and all three major consoles, but with the Wii it's more of a chasm. It's previous-gen hardware.

No, the tech is a significant handicap for any developer making a shooter (or any game, really) for the Wii - that's why the enemy AI in this game is apparently bad even by bad FPS standards, per this review.

Yeah, but superheroes are just American fascist bullshit, anyway, according to Alan Moore.

Fate of Atlantis is the best Indiana Jones movie that never happened.

I think it could. I actually kind of wish they'd move it to another country.

Auto-Tune The News 5
Joe Biden's God Bless America is going to be my ringtone eventually, somehow.

Bo Diddley calling out Khruschev
From a true patriot at a time when it was really hard to be one. The antidote to every sappy early 60s protest song you've ever heard!

I tend to agree (I'm actually reading Levon Helm's autobiography right now, it's outstanding), just wanted to give Canada proper credit for its contribution to The Band. Levon is definitely the link between Americana and the other four band members.

Self-involved navel-gazing. Other countries have done it, but only Americans have really elevated it into an artform.

A song which itself was probably a reworking of a classic country western song, proving that rock and roll was racially integrated in terms of influence all along, if not in terms of practice.
