ROBOT HOUSE!!

I actually thought the recent comics have done that Abin Sur story a disservice. In Moore's original work, the demons of Ysmault were disturbing and somewhat Lovecraftian. What a great image, of the young Guardians going out and making war with them. Now, after Johns explained their backstory, they're more or less…

True story: As a reporter for a mid-level newspaper, I was contacted by someone who heard some kind of Hugh Jackman/robot boxing movie was going to film in our town (they ended up not). For about an hour that day, my job was to confirm whether or not a Hugh Jackman/robot boxing movie was even a real thing, let alone…

I also object to the criticism of the Tweet, not because I'm a Hater-hater, but because I think the Hater missed the point. Conan was just telling a joke about how he's lazy, not trying to remark on the weather. I presume that's the reason people read his Tweets, for the jokes.

The ring is charged on a lantern-shaped power battery, which in turn gets power transmitted to it from the Central Power Battery (also shaped like a lantern) on the planet Oa at the center of the universe (where lanterns are all the rage, I guess). That green power is the energy from every time a being in the universe…

This thing's still going? Wow.

Aurora: If I remember right, Stan's Soapbox (the real one) used to regularly inform readers on upcoming Marvel movies that seemed to never actually get made. Or they would, but his plot point leaks would be weirdly incorrect (almost like a proto-Jackie Harvey). So calling it "Grade A" instead of "First Class" is just…

Please, Llama, don't summon the 9/11 truthers. That's an infestation I don't think the rest of us could fight off.

Look, scientists discover new species all the time. The issue isn't whether or not it's possible that there's some remote Canadian mountain with a bigfoot tribe living in splendid isolation on it. The issue, for me anyway, is whether or not any human has ever produced any kind of evidence of such a thing. We have not.…

Sure, that's logical if you're talking about a secluded tribe of Bigfeets in some remote location. But we have all these supposed sightings all over the place. And you may not have ever stumbled upon a bear skeleton (and neither have I when I go hiking in the part of my state that is lousy with bears), but somebody…

Or remains. I mean, if there are all these "squatches" running across roads and skunking up the South, shouldn't there be all kinds of skeletons or bodies in the wild?

Well, that's what I'm here for…wait…

This thread reminds me of the Xmas where I got the entire Panosh Place Voltron collection; they were the only gifts I got that year, but it was enough. Then, of course, I immediately went to war with my brother's billions of G.I. Joe guys and vehicles. You haven't lived until you've had Voltron pick up a fucking tank…

Aqualad: If I remember correctly, Khan was actually a businessman. I guess that doesn't really answer your question, though.

Here I've been all these years, thinking I'm the only one who loved this damn movie. Just great, all the way around.

dantebk: Green Lantern Kyle Rayner had two girls dump him; Jade and Donna Troy. They were both murdered later, but not as a result of their relationship with Kyle.

But is Plemons "turtle" enough for the Turtle Club?

As long as we're gassing on about the Fairness Doctrine, there's also the notion that it's all being done on public property, the airwaves. Whether or not you agree with it, you have to acknowledge that it's not as simple an issue as liberals wanting to silence conservative voices. I don't recall any (rational)…

Indeed, unregistered fan of Cookie. It helps that he's also probably the smartest poster around.

Forgot to add: As the parent of a toddler, I feel Oscar's pain. Dealing with Big Bird and Elmo in almost any context must be incredibly frustrating.
