And Irene Adler as a codependent super-criminal sex worker is any better?  I like Elementary and Sherlock well enough, but they both have very little in common with the Arthur Conan Doyle stories.

What sin could a man commit in a single lifetime to bring this upon himself?

Huh, I did not know that about Space Mutiny.  For some reason I'm not surprised that they didn't mention it.  Maybe because I consider Svengoolie to be my primary bad movie factoid source.

Honestly, is the Twilight Trak good?  I watched some best of clips on Youtube with a try-before-I-buy mindsest and about 90% of the jokes seemed to be of the "haha, gay!" variety.  

Well, you're rich and white so I don't see a problem.

He learned, almost too late, that man is a feeling creature and, because of it, the greatest in the universe. He learned, too late for himself, that men have to make their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can't be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. And, when men seek such perfection, they find…

Tom Sawyer lost me at torturing a cat to pull off a guy's wig.  Way to be too much a dumbshit to use a fishing hook, kid.

Huh, just got myself bounced around by Discus.

Oh, I've got no problem with how they portrayed Seymour.  I love dogs.  Hell, I love most animals or I'd never have volunteered.  But they're not the greatest living loving thing in life, they're animals. You (general you) have to take care of them and train them.  You have to feed them and take them to the vet and…

Don't get me wrong.  I love dogs.  Cats, horses, rats, I pretty much love them all. But I feel the same way about Hatchiko that I do about Seymour.  An entire community just let this dog wander the streets, eating random food (they found four wood skewers in his stomach when he died) and sleeping in gutters.  He died…

I guess that episode really reflects what you bring to it.  For me, seeing a dog abandoned and getting sporatically fed (a dog can't really live off pizza) while spending the rest of its life on a street corner was just too close to all the pets we got that were either abandoned in alleys or spent their lives chained…

I'm in for this movie.  Kon-Tiki is still one of my absolute favorite novels.  Unfortunately, I think you're right about how compelling the movie will be.  Reading about a bunch of guys having a close encounter with a whale shark for hours or watching giant mysterious phosphorus shapes at night makes for a fascinating…

I've spent years passionately hated Jurassic Bark.  I should revisit it though.  I first watched it when I was volunteering regularly at the local Humane Society and I think that really colored how I experienced the episode.

Wow, that's a… that's a real twist there.  So did the woman who's getting marriage-counseled cheat on her husband too?  Or is this just a huge confessional non-sequitur?

I hope the opening song is "Springtime for Rand".  That would explain a whole lot about this venture.

Which is why I didn't consider either to a credible witness.  The psychic, as I said, was not credible at all as she claimed to talk to the deceased spirit of a person who was, in fact, still alive.  The priest in interviews would neither confirm or deny that he believed the house to be haunted.

Oh, absolutely.  The psychic was brought in by some news show, I believe.  Like I said, she claimed to be speaking to the dead spirit of Ronald DeFoe, the Amityville murderer, who was actually alive and well and oblivious many miles away.  As for the priest, he's the guy referenced in the story, and would neither…

Sort of?  The family has pretty adamantly claimed that the hauntings happened, the novel writer claimed that they all sat down and planned the story and no one else has ever experienced hauntings there since.  Everyone has sued everyone else multiple times. As far as I know, the Lutz family has never made an…

ABZ's is an amazing book! It's the children's book for people who hate children.

I like to assume the hitchhiker was a pediatrician or a munitions expert.
