Both sides of the story? I hope you don't mean cutting from stories of death and survival to the story of the hard-working but under-appreciated leader of FEMA getting back-patted by his secretly-competent President.

Rock bottom prices, eh?

I think CC Baxter is right. It's not about the level of effects — movies have portrayed terrible catastrophes since the 1920s, and some were remarkably effective even without modern CGI. What seems to have changed with recent movies is that the destruction is often meant to be part of the fun, often with active and…

Kirk is a sleazeball, but on the scale of meant-to-be-admired movie heroes who treat women terribly he's not even close to the worst.

No Coins, Please??? What, were they hard working strippers by that stage of the series?

Loki isn't real?

Is it inspiration or is it "we can play that crap, too"?

"Why don't you just pop off?" Missed opportunity, my friend.

I'm not sure I understand the complaint about inconsistencies in the plot of Usual Suspects given (SPOILER!!!!) the fact that the plot is made up on the spot by the protagonist. My only quibble is that there is no way the police would let Spacey go at that particular time. But I forgive that because it leads to such a…

I heard Prince Philip got a Prince Albert!

Maybe they should change it to "Don't be obnoxious."

The problem with Google is that they *do* produce useful software, but then run a piss-poor marketing campaign and make no attempt to improve the software in line with user requests, and finally pull the plug precipitously on the project with no way of transferring any user data to a new platform.

"Not the Pitchforks! I can't take any more sneering 3.5s!"

An animal shelter that didn't have any cats? I suspect your family just didn't want to get you a cat.

My favourite ever: I once saw a birth notice that thanked God for "His unspeakable gift."
