My anger at the Secret of NIMH was 1) the introduction of magic elements that weren't in the book and 2) Why is NIMH the only NIH Institute to get a movie? Why can't we have The Secret of NCI or The Secret of NIDDK?

It kind of does, at least in the second half. And not even in the way "Hot Fuzz" aped cop buddy movies to make fun of them.

Do not refer to airag as tsegee
And who could disagree with that? Damn hipsters with their "tsegee". If you are going to drink fermented mare's milk you can at least call it airag.

I mean, how would they know he was the actual Spider Man and not just one of the costumed buskers that tourists take pictures with?

I'm really looking forward to how they are going to explain men in their 50s still flying fighter planes rather than working desk jobs or retired from the military and working as pilots for commercial airlines.

Hopefully you know that the other sequel meme — "Something 2: Electric Boogaloo" comers from the 1984 movie "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" (with a young Ice-T as "Radiotron Rapper"), right?

Yeah. Look at the capitals! Marker Felt's I and J have no serifs, but Comic Sans does! Plus the ampersand character looks different!

Ah, but Mary was from an era *before* the NHS. And note that she didn't go around helping the children of factory workers (who actually might need her help) but instead devoted her time to helping the ever-so-needy children of a banker (so devoted to capitalism that his name was even Banks).

I just read Will Englund's "March 1917: On the Brink of War and Revolution" and think it was the best non-fiction book I've read in awhile. It cuts back and forth between several important events that were happening at the time — Woodrow Wilson finally decides to bring America into WWI after coming up with the war…

Euchre was a near religion in Wisconsin, although I think us Gen-Xers are probably the last generation to take it seriously. Growing up, it was a fairly common event for our family to go to a tavern and play euchre with whomever showed up. Obviously the adults would have a few beers, but it wasn't about getting…

Because there are only so many prizes they can give out. Beyond that it comes right out the volunteers' pockets.

There goes my idea for a haunted printer, tentatively called HP Deathjet.

It takes more than that for a Polaroid joke to (Edwin H.) land.

But what if Bambi was the deer Messiah?

And his ex-wife Elisabeth Moss claimed he "wasn't normal". Although I'm not sure a Scientologist like Moss is really the best judge of that.

While I can't really believe I'm discussing details of the MLP:FIM universe, the age of the ponies is really vague. Yes, Rarity has a real career, but not so much the other ponies. Applejack doesn't run the farm — it's her family's. Rainbow Dash may kick some clouds occasionally, but I'm not sure she really is…

The remake yeah, but the original Stepford Wives was really a powerful movie — it is hard to understand today, what with even conservatives acknowledging the benefit of two income households, but at the time, a lot of men saw women who wanted to be more than housewives as a threat.

Maybe it was a plea to get people to care about real life Tasmanian Devils (which are endangered and lately even suffer from a transmissible cancer).

Does anyone other than Han and C3PO (who understands all languages) actually understand Chewy, though?

It makes terrible invisible ink compared to lemon juice, however.
