"Jimmy, if you keep stabbing me, you're going to kill me." It's funny, but he's also so honestly confused and sad that his friend would betray him. I imagine "Et tu, Brute?" would be said in same tone of voice.

I never considered myself too doctrinaire about my sci-fi, but I was actually upset that everything that made Star Trek unique was stripped out of the new movies, and replaced with lens flare.

+1 on Todd. This was also the episode where I realized Cirroc Lofton has acting chops

I imagine it's this one (http://www.lcarscom.net/rdm…. Absolutely brutal: "I don’t know what VOYAGER is about. It just doesn’t seem to speak to me. I watch the show; I try to understand what it is saying to me, what it’s trying to explore. But it doesn’t seem to explore the human condition. It doesn’t have a point of…

When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes Brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave Sir Robin

But that never changes in Dota. The skill cap is so high that you can play for 1000 hours and still find yourself owning some noob who only has 800 hours, or, conversely, get rolled in 25 minutes by the enemy team. You'll always get placed in matches so your win rate is about 50%, so the only real progress is how well…

Dota 2 is a gateway drug. Hey, why don't I watch someone on YouTube explain how to play Dota? Hey, why don't I watch that YouTuber's Twitch stream to see him answer questions from chat? It's all a dark spiral until I this month I heard that PyrionFlax's 24 hour marathon Dota 2 stream for a cancer research charity…

Sanjuro: Sanjuro Tsubaki (Toshiro Mifune) v Hanbei Muroto (Tatsuya Nakadai)
A Fistful of Dollars: The Stranger (Clint Eastwood) v Ramón Rojo (Gian Maria Volonté) in a remake of Yojimbo, so this is like voting for Mifune twice, which I'm totally OK with
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Jen Lu (Zhang Ziyi) v Yu Shu Lien…

Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday may be the most attractive woman in movie history. Just wowzers. She's the Helen of Troy of cinema. Ur-romcom.

As someone who considers soul to be his favorite genre, she had a very modern feminist sneer over a shocking fragility that reminded me very strongly of Billie Holiday, coupled with an obvious love and knowledge of 60s big band and soul. My favorite vocalist of at least the last dozen years. A few performances from…

Face of the Enemy is kind of critical to understanding Gaeta's character development in the last half of Season 4. I hope Sonia covers them.

I recall an interview with Ron Moore during the initial run where he was asked why the show didn't have scifi weapons like lasers and photon torpedoes. He replied that audiences don't have a visceral fear of photon torpedoes but people flinch when a character yells "Incoming nukes!".

Roslin. That little hum she makes after the kiss a couple seasons later is the sexiest damn thing that happens on this show.

I had entered college in the fall of 94 and some guys in my freshman house had Reservoir Dogs on tape. Watching that required me to sit quietly for about half an hour afterwards to recover from the emotional shock. (These housemates also introduced me to John Woo. Good times.) We went to see Pulp Fiction in theaters…

Upvoted for the throwaway footnote reference to "New Jack Hustler."

I haven't seen this film in like 15 years, but was like "Is this the onewhere the photographer is knocked over and takes a picture of the black kids above him that goes on the front page and they change the headline to 'They didn't do it'?" Props to any movie that manages to stick a triumphant scene so deep in my head…

The language is leaving him?

I fell back into The Secret World again this week. The rhythm of the game is so unlike other MMORPGs that I can't figure out if I really like the game itself or just enjoy the audacity of a game that requires you to go to spend 10 minutes looking at real-world YouTube videos and blogs, which the game developer's…

You've heard of the Long War mod for XCOM that folks have been raving about? I feel like I'm burnt out on XCOM, but the mod looks so alluring…

I was late to the party, but recently read World War Z. And by "read" I mean that I started the first 20 pages and then stayed up all night to finish. There are passages in that book that are so vivid that I have to remind myself I didn't actually see them on a screen. That Morgan Freeman didn't play a barely…
