I should probably stop reading Game of Thrones Newswire threads until I start watching the series. I keep getting spoiled on all these classic Hodor lines.

People are obviously just so committed to the ideals of Pan-Africanism.

I don't think elementary school principals have that much authority to set their budgets.

The "watch rich people do stuff" genre of reality shows doesn't really require much. They'd quite happily cast just a bunch of anonymous rich people, but the extra hook of "she's tangentially related to a minor celebrity" gives people a bump.

I'd like to see David Cross try being a pimp in Paris!

I think people get overly cynical about pop music. Perfectly legitimate art can be created by groups. Film is a medium which is inherently created by large teams of people working together, and it's more or less respectable: some people like to emphasize the role of the director as an auteur, but there are significant…

Katy Perry's boobs aren't just for straight guys, they're for the world.

There are "films" which are intended to be watched in multiple sittings, they're called TV series. Prior to the age of home video people had no choice but to watch video at the pace that it was presented, and film settled into the rhythms of a one-sitting viewing of a standalone feature presentation and TV settled…

Then that would make this… the return of the curse of the creature's ghost.

They need to put pills in Charlie's jelly beans.

Yeah, there's many things I hate about the new Disqus, but if they just put boxes around posts that'd probably shut me up.

Second to next line. And in the context of the scene, it feels like the logic is "I have no home, no wait, the jungle is my home now." Building up from despair to the pride of creating a race of atomic supermen.

Disqus (and most upvoting/downvoting systems, ultimately) ripped off the idea from Slashdot, (perhaps indirectly via Reddit) where the idea was explicitly to provide a level of self-moderation so when people just post stupid shit it can be filtered without needing to have actual mods delete things. I agree that this…

His character in Walk Hard was one note but funny.

Slave Leia is for amateurs, Oola is where the action is.

If my understanding of the plot of Atlas Shrugged is correct, part three should have far fewer trains and far more 70 page speeches, so he'd probably be disappointed.

Frontline episodes take more time to produce than a conventional news show, so they can't cover breaking topics like that. I'm sure their twerking episode is in production as we speak, though. (And maybe something about that government shutdown dealie too, I guess.)

Inspector Gadget was a quasi-anime, so it can get at incest that way.

EVEN GRAMPA?!

I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
