Dude and Joe Simon had Captain America punch Hitler square in the fucking face a year before American committment to the war.  Manly. The bucktoothed (with fangs!) yellow-colored Jap menace Cap subsequently fought?  Hmnnn.. ok, let's just shoo that under the carpet ; ).  Hitler punch rules.

Agreed.  Good is good in any medium and should be enjoyed and discussed without judgement.  If its a good novel then it has merits for any age, not just Young Adults or "girls" (I've always felt that if "Hunger Games" had been written by a 40-year old guy in 1952 nobody would have felt any particularly need to label

And for those that might argue Picard living a life as an archaeologist might prove equally cloying let's remember its  a character piece- that's a fully paid vacation at Sandals for Picard.  Now Ben Sisko?  He'd be pulverizing Borg and Dominion left and right with prophet lightning shooting from his hands while

Right?  Hey I finally get to devote time to archaeology- here's the ancient frazumatazitz of Regula 8 that proves Shakespeare really was a Klingon!  Vash, this deserves a mondo beejay!  Nope.  Christmas in a cheap snowglobe.

yes, but as I've dived down (when snorkelling), the pressure actually helps me stay down as I'm not fighting as hard to keep my breath in- it sounds strange and counter to the science, but that's what I've experienced.  Also, its helpful as I ascend when my lungs expand and I have that much more air to get back to the

Ok, one that's always bugged the shit out of me but to fix it would mean the retroactive deaths  of many an action hero or like protagonist, and probably the end of the world as their mission would then be kerfluffled:  People being about to see perfectly underwater- I've long since given up on the ability to hold

Interestingly enough it was when one of these disembodied, echo-ey, expository voices chirped up at the beginning of "Green Lantern" that I knew I was in biiiiiiiiig trouble.  And no, it did not make the rest of the film enjoyable, even in a cheesy manner.

Ah Will Harris, you had to invoke the Nexus from Generations.  Me, I had no problem with it as a plot device… it was the inscrutable, inexcusable waste of opportunity once we got a peek inside that bothered the living shit out of me.  Its funny you brought up "Guardian of Forever", becuase the very first sight Picard

Ah.  Apologies for the double post.  Once again Disqus's impotent load times and editing feature has made me the Anakin Skywalker of the discussion boards.

That one kills me as we need only roll back the clock two prequels  to see how that didn't really matter when Ben was in a similar if not more perilous situation and did just fine.  The only reason Anakin failed in that moment, was, like every other choice and action made by him in those films, he was terminally

That one's my favorite Monty- becuase we need only roll back the clock two prequels to see how that didn't mean shit back when Ben fought Darth Maul and extricated himself from a similar if not more perilous predicament.  Of course, I also saw it as Anakin's staggering incompetence that he would leap straight at and
