@avclub-bca3531762af8a993c4f60c48fd5e33b:disqus When did @avclub-9ff7c9eb9d37f434db778f59178012da:disqus do that?! And how did I miss such a glorious spectacle?

@avclub-740bc18f68a7140f7e82b025080d8c28:disqus : Make sure you have the right jacket for the job. Esquire did a write-up about it. http://www.esquire.co.uk/st…

@avclub-884c4beddd8c98bb3b016bdfcc1bcdf8:disqus : And that's the stereotypical (but perhaps a kernel of truth) difference between men and women. Men are more bothered by physical cheating, and women by emotional cheating. I don't know where I'm supposed to fall, as a gay man, but personally, I'd be far more upset…

@persia2:disqus : I'm not so sure that there's anything particularly wrong with using "The Last Emperor." It's not a substitute for teaching Chinese history, to be sure. However, in a class like World History in Film, it's a great launching point for a discussion of the rise of modern China.

Thank you for reminding of that clip. The iRack sketch is the first video I ever saw on YouTube.

If I were contacted in that fashion — and I hate to say this — I'd probably deny knowing anything about it, and claim I forgot the whole thing. If someone is bitter and upset enough to hang onto that for seven years, and then make contact demanding an apology, then what's to stop them from trying to make a civil (or…

That's a real song? It sounded like a reference to child molesters and their creepy vans.

@swanpride:disqus  Yes. Instead, they added the equally unfortunate element of Stockholm Syndrome.

One thing is certain: some animators at Disney have a serious hard-on for dom muscle-bears.

And those same 85% nod approvingly when their representative demands that we cut spending because of the horrors of the big, scary DEFICIT, and nod approvingly again when, in the next breath, that representative boasts of creating local jobs by buying (using deficit spending, no less) more tanks for the Army. Tanks…

It bothers me when I recall a particularly funny line from the trailer, and I wait for it, knowing that it should be even funnier once I have the rest of the film as context, and I keep waiting, but the line never appears. Perhaps itt's petty, but that really, really annoys me. Likewise, if there's a particular action…

I'm from Michigan. The southwestern part of the state is its own outcropping of the Bible Belt, and there are many Confederate flags to be seen.

My knowledge of arcane automotive history is for once germane!

He really is a fascinating figure. For his flaws and lack of vision as to what his reforms would unleash, he demonstrates perfectly the at least partial truth behind the "great men of history" theory. He would not authorize using force to crush the demonstrations as the Soviet Union fell apart, even though the army…

I see your Utahraptor and raise you a Baryonyx. Thirty feet long, 10" claws on the hands. Lots and lots of teeth.

I like this one, too, and I'm rather surprised that it didn't come up yet.

Cock-o-meters don't lie. Many, many staunch homophobes get aroused by gay porn, and more aroused than by straight porn (see, the famous university study whose provenance I'm currently too lazy to look up). It's not final proof, but it's suggestive.

Best of all, Ronald Wilson Reagan is an anagram for "Insane Anglo Warlord." The more you know.

Fun fact, you two: Canada is part of America. Specifically, North America. "America" doesn't HAVE to mean the United States.

In fairness to us, they did break the rules. The brown people aren't supposed to win. Everyone knows that.
