Isn't that (metaphorically) what the Cutie Mark Crusaders are pining for in MLP?

"Look, I know You've become addicted to Words with Friends. But come on, can't a supposedly omniscient and omnipotent guy play that *and* hold his own in texting?"

The Lincolns apparently did that. But yeah, it's offputting in the quasi-incestual (maybe a 4?) implications.

There's also S.E. Hinton's books, which made me think in the early 1980s when I read them that knife-fights were going to be a part of my high school experience.

There was also Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, about an older brother who resents the attention his parents pay towards his younger sibling.

I think that might be because even the mass market beers in the UK had retained their diversity — lagers, bitters, ales of various sorts, etc. Microbrews/craft brews because a big thing in the US in 1990s because mass market beer here was exclusively lagers to the extent that except for people who had visited Europe,…

I think it could have worked. I mean Anakin is supposed to be from the lower-class isn't he? Wouldn't he be expected to have a working-class accent?

It was cheesy in the same way as Tom Baker-era Dr. Who was, which is appropriate because Adams wrote some scripts for that as well.

Seriously? It's been pretty common for the last decade or so. It's basically what used to be called "microbrews" except some of these breweries aren't just some guys in a converted warehouse anymore.

That's was pretty much true of any group of people in the Soviet Union at the time — writers, scientists, army officers, etc. If somebody was famous in the 1920s and you look up what happened to them over the next couple of decades, chances are they were either executed or sent to a camp.

I should make a point of seeing that someday given my obsession with the Cold War.

I'm a computational biologist myself, but there is no way that computational research can "do the same kinds of research" as animal testing. My research may suggest that repressing or enhancing a particular gene can, say, protect against tumors, but until somebody actually tests this (generally in mice) by giving mice…

In *our* dimension, sure. But don't be so provincial. We don't even know which dimension's Ice-T was being interviewed.

Eh, Eisenstein was a Marxist and hence would have subscribed to "From each according to one's ability, to each according to one's need", and De Palma really *needed* something in that scene.

Although that one, as popular as it was at the time, really doesn't hold up, at least in my opinion There was a "Memory Wipe" feature on here a few years ago that pretty much sums up what I felt when I watched it again after not seeing it since it was in the theatre.

Yeah, I have a fondness for "No Way Out", even if in the DC area (where I live now), it gets a lot of flack for the fictional Georgetown Metro station. Which was an odd choice by the filmmakers given that there was nothing about the scene that couldn't have been set at Foggy Bottom, less than a mile away and which…

I remember liking that movie, but to be honest I didn't remember Costner was in it!

Has anything by Costner really held up? It's weird how he was this major star in the 1980s and 1990s, but unlike his peers like Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger, it's not like people obsess about his movies decades later.

How about "The Fury"? Tying into Chicago, parts of it were filmed in the late lamented Old Chicago indoor amusement park (which was technically in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook).

Actually, the way they want to cut the NIH budget is to reduce indirect costs (which go to pay IT personnel, administrative assistants, and electricity costs), so actually the lights might *not* be kept on.
