Just a random story about crickets: My buddy had an original one which was found in France. While handling it, I couldn't resist seeing if it'd still chirp. It didn't. What it did was tear the old weakened metal, pretty much destroying what had been a nice intact piece. Sorry George! I'll replace it some day.

I used to have a decent knowledge of the Western Front & Pacific theaters, but not much on the Russia stuff. I was playing a videogame … one of the Call of Duty series most likely … where I'd just crossed the river in Stalingrad. There's a dude handing out weapons and telling everyone to charge forward into the…

Hahah! "Lamestream!" Man, that's CLEVER! Did you come up with that all by yourself? What a wit you are.

The coolest scene in the entire series. I donno that anyone has ever looked more badass than him during that run.

Most medieval swords WEREN'T heavy and certainly didn't weigh much more than a katana. A typical katana (if there is any such thing) weighs in the 2.5 - 3.0 pound range. A typical medieval sword (if there is any such thing) would weigh between 2.5 - 3.5 pounds. Even the big-ass giant Claymores were not likely to be…

A film's sub (or not so sub) text isn't part of its craft?

Do you really think that dressing up the bad guys (who weren't actually faceless turban wearers) as faceless turban-wearers isn't just a leeeeelte bit racist in this time where Right-Wing America's greatest fears include faceless turban-wearers?

"You're really reaching for that interpretation."

It's amusing to me that this is getting such a positive reception when it looks like it's gonna be basically Ben Affleck's Daredevil suit, which maya been the most hated costume ever (that didn't have built-in nipples).

This'll certainly be ignored in lieu of all the asinine Seth Rogan bashing, but I'd just like to say "Fuck you" to C-Span for caving to Congress years ago regarding the placement of cameras. They used to pan around the rooms showing row after row of empty seats. Congress complained that it made them look bad, so now…

Do you have some personal insight as to how much knowledge Rogan has about the disease? You seem to be basing much of your asinine remarks in these comments on the fact that he's just some schmo talking out his ass. What's your proof of that?

If you knew much about drug reps and the way they get their drugs to be prescribed, it's really not strange.

In the first film, Buford T. Justice drove a Pontiac LeMans Enforcer.

Raw Peeps are … meh.

I can't wait to repost this 20 years from now in the "Archer Classic" reviews like the snpp reposts on Simpsons.

It's remarkable how many people you'll still find here on avclub without a sense of humor and no concept of sarcasm.

What gets me is that that shit is in 616 continuity. Crazy!

NO, absolutely not! If they were given the primetime gig, they'd be expected to alter their schtick to better suit the more middlebrow evening viewer. Please leave them where they know they're playing for a more dedicated audience and can act accordingly.

Did no one actually listen to the broadcast when they specifically said that they would be getting the medals later?

Kudos to you Erik, kudos. That was nicely done.
