what a horrible night to have

Every time Tenzin and Lin are in an episode, I kind of wish the show was all about the older generation being awesome middle-aged badasses.  I like Korra and the gang well enough, but their storylines just can't compete with the sense of history between those two.

Really?  I've read part of the first book, and I'd never consider Maisie Williams worthy of the nickname "horseface."

This is absurdly late, but I think Mordin's change of heart comes from befriending the Krogan female and seeing that there is hope for the race.  I think one of the most moving moments is actually in the renegade path if you choose not to tell him about the sabotage.  Shepard confronts him about how he always defended

God Emperor of Dune.  I really enjoyed the first three books in the series when I read them back in junior high, but then I got to God Emperor.  To this day, I've never been able to finish that book.  I'm sure there are some people out there who enjoy the philosophical theories of a giant worm-man, but I am not one of

Yeah, I understand its purpose, but it seems like mostly a lost art.  Or maybe I just don't read comics close enough.  I think I'd scarcely notice if they just stopped bolding stuff all together since there are so many books where it seems like every other word is bolded for no discernible reason.

Really?  I thought the last issue had even less plot than usual, since most of it was just making sure you knew every character's situation at the end of the previous arc.  The only plot developments were mysterious bad guy and Japanese stereotype doing something nefarious, and Batwoman has bulletproof armor now.

I didn't really notice improperly-bolded words in Glory, I guess because I'm so used to bolded words being absolutely arbitrary in comics.

I was a huge fan of M*A*S*H as a kid, and that episode still haunts me to this day.  I think the image of Father Mulcahy with the soldier on the cross behind him is forever burned into my memory.

I just saw that movie for the first time on TCM the other day, and the Man (or whatever he's called) freaked me out something fierce.  I wouldn't consider that movie terrifically scary, but it just has a great sense of dread about it.

Yeah, Geoffrey Rush is my favorite too, and it pains me that he was gone for almost the entirety of the second movie and returned just in time for the lackluster third.

And seafaring lore is pretty well steeped in the supernatural anyway (like the real tales of the Flying Dutchman and sea monsters and such). I didn't have a problem with that. I just had a problem with plot devices coming out of the woodwork later on.

I recently rewatched all the Pirates movies, and I actually kind of liked the second two. I can respect what they were doing: trying to create a crazy, magical pirate mythology for the series, but the problem was that they just kept adding things that weren't even hinted at in the earlier movies (the third is the

For shame
No mention of Jason Todd's brief stint as a tentacle monster in the pages of Nightwing?

I used to actually watch her dating reality show
because there is something hilarious about people competing to be the boyfriend/girlfriend of the festering crock pot of diseases that is Tila Tequila.

I stopped watching after the episode where the Glauinator believed she was a real little girl. I heard it gets better, but this was from two friends that only watched it because of Summer Glau.

it just won't stop coming back
Maybe their goal is to make us fondly remember those halcyon days when Terminator 3 was the worst Terminator movie.

I was playing Aria this weekend, and I think the one thing that doesn't really hold up in comparison to a lot of other Castlevania games is the music. But after the horror of Harmony of Dissonance's 8-bit music, it sounded like a symphony.

I really like Ecclesia, but my only problem with it is how they reused room designs all the time. It felt like they only had like 5 different rooms to choose from per map and just copied and pasted them all over the place.

I wish they'd go back and do another classic level-based Castlevania. They kind of tried it with Ecclesia, but I want full-blown levels and multiple paths and all that stuff. I just recently downloaded Rondo of Blood on the Wii, and it is excellent. It makes me long for more of that old-school challenge.
