Ever since I was a kid, I've always, always wanted a Griffin. There are some childhood dreams I will never give up.

I was going to say "Red Sonja!", but yeah, I think they want actual women to comment here. Men can start our own nickname thread for nocturnal emissions, I suppose.

Or anything on the Bravo network.

That is exactly NOT what I'm saying.

The films they've covered here this week all involve an examination of time-travel paradoxes (e.g. meeting oneself in the past). Time Bandits is a wonderful movie involving time travel, but it's more of an adventure comedy than a film about the possible real-world hazards of going back and forth in time.

We will turn mountains… into rivers. And rivers into oceans. And oceans into deserts. And deserts into mountains!
Or something like that. I love how it sounds like something straight from the Bible.

@avclub-da496e2db2e50a068b4ae5549d4ae1b0:disqus , I would downvote you, but I also enjoyed DP7 a lot, so, hey, truce.
But I don't read this as Heller trashing something meant for kids from an adult perspective. As someone who bought early issues of Julstice and Nightmask and who read Starbrand, I recall them all being…

Smart move. (Hey, we're the same age. Awesome.)

I think in Stan Lee and the Rise and Fall of the American Comic Book, a case is made for why Marvel staffers didn't like Shooter; compared to Lee, who was enthusiastic and persuasive and made people feel important, Shooter was laconic and hard to read. People who had worked with Lee for years and who were used to his…

I bought Justice and Nightmask, my brother bought DP7 and a few others. I stopped collected my portion of the New Universe titles after a couple of issues each, but my brother stayed with DP7 for a year or so—we both kinda liked that title. Scuzz was a pretty good anti-hero, as I recall.

Having met Shooter and worked, very briefly, with him on something that is now totally forgotten, I would say he is basically a good guy with kinda bad manners.

Like America, I am 10% gay.

I would totally punch myself. Like, that would be the first thing I did.

My relationships with bratwurst tend to end GREAT for me. Not so great for the bratwursts. My relationship with Bratz dolls on the other hand…

I came across a fascinating theory that WWI was just a continuation of the Franco-Prussian War. So yes, to everything you said. There should be a word for "variable which is both a cause and an effect," changing status and producing different causes provided different effects. I'll bet probability studies has such a…

When I was a young man we used to dream of having water. We had to boil our ramen in sawdust. And we were thankful.

Bracquaintances.

One of the speculative things that has always fascinated me about time travel is, what to do with it? And if it did exist, what if a person/group tried to use it for what is presumably the highest purpose—preventing wars and massacres, and fixing history's 'mistakes?' Would it actually create a utopian present, or…

I don't think they really had one. It was more of a brartnership.

If the Mormons did believe that Ham was the progenitor of sub-Saharan Africans, they weren't the only ones. A lot of Christian groups used this story as proof that God is okay with slavery, take that, stupid abolitionists. I don't think The Bible, however, mentions Ham's skin color—that detail may only date to the…
