I don't really think "minor military conflicts" should count, since it's hard to keep track of all of them. We fought a bunch of wars with the various Native American tribes when we stole all that land from them.

I'd be interested in seeing what the crossover is like, anyway.

It's later than the range you just said, but I like the idea of making Earth Day into a national holiday. It's in nice real estate for a holiday, and the Earth is a pretty important thing, so hey it deserves the promotion. I suppose some environmentalists might actively prefer it not be made into a holiday since they…

Supposedly the Daily Mail is the most popular English language news site on the Internet.

Why the hell are rubber chickens the sort of thing that are a "novelty?"

Having a sexual relationship with your step-siblings is still awkward, and it's not like anyone else on the Brady Bunch was having sex.

Dental plan!

Well film doesn't have infinite resolution, it's just whether the limitations come from discrete pixels or film grains and such. I don't myself know enough about cinema to have any meaningful way of comparing the two, but my vague understanding is that 35mm doesn't really capture that much more information than 4K,…

My understanding (from both the not-always-accurate movie and Wikipedia) is that the Argo script was a real script that just was never put into real production.

I thought a white girl booty was supposed to be large, with the white girl part merely pointing out that her butt was larger than expected given the stereotypes of her race.

I sincerely believe that Paul Thomas Anderson should give Milla Jovovich a role in one of his movies as in-joke.

It's a typo.
