ALL CELEBRITIES EVERYWHERE HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO DANCE FOR ME, BECAUSE OF THE WORKERS

There are like three good episodes of Doctor Who, Aurora. Save the money, Hollywood, and buy yourself a nice boat.

That would work out great, if they produced 2 to 4 episodes a season.

Prankster, I'm getting this from Moore himself, who, when discussing Century, mentioned in a number of interviews that writing the third volume was going to be really hard because he was totally unfamiliar with contemporary pop culture (he mentions the prospect of using a fictional country from "The West Wing," which,…

"I Fucked Ted" was fist-pumpingly awesome, the best moment for Skyler's character by a mile. It came on the heels of Walt turning into a creepy psycho stalker, trying to Stepfordize his family while taking advantage of the fact that his wife didn't hate him enough to destroy their family by turning him over to the…

Oh, and you know that comic everyone always links to, where Frank Miller can't write anything that doesn't have whores in it? You can do the exact same thing with Alan Moore and rape.

Neonomicon was rubbish. The terrible, terrible art didn't help, certainly, but Moore's dialogue and character work in that one was as bad as it's been in ages. The first two issues are especially clunky, with all the "let us awkwardly mention this backstory" dialogue, and the scenes where the two FBI agents are like…

The stuff with SPEW was awful, but it's not a slight on Hermoine - it's a reflection on Rowling's truly fucked-in-the-head politics. The house elves are slaves - no one disputes this; they're chattel, fully owned by their wizard masters - but in Rowling's horribly fucked world, slaves love their slavery, and can't…

The houses are bullshit, but the treatment of Slytherin is REALLY bullshit. In the first couple books Slytherin is introduced as the house where ambitious students go; in the later ones it's presented as the house where bigots who hate half-bloods end up. At some point Rowling shrugs and stops pretending it's anything…

Pretty sure Rupert/Wendi breaks the half-plus-seven rule.

"Moore wrote the scripts to this around the same time he wrote the Black Dossier. "

Fuck grades. Seriously. If you need someone to grade a piece of art before you understand what the actual fucking text in the review says about that art, you should probably give up on reading, period.

Pregnancy, birth, and infants are all gross. Nothing squeamish about admitting it, either, sister - you've got a tumor with fingers growing in you.

Quote from a friend as we were passing Cleveland on the highway:

Spaghetti-os are food?

The Nazis used to call that flag the Blutfahne or "blood flag" - Hitler used to touch it to new Nazi flags as a sort of ritual to consecrate the new flags.

David Warner would make for an awesome Doctor Who, if they ever wanted to make a Doctor Who that wasn't a shitty kids' show.

The real purpose of torture is not to extract information, but to extract false confessions. Every regime that has made widespread use of torture, from Mao's China to Stalin's Russia to Pinochet's Chile to the current use of torture by the US in Guantanamo and Bagram, has used torture to produce false confessions used…

MadTV was no better or worse than SNL, generally. SNL just has the major network and the slot for movie stars and bands to pimp upcoming projects and the decades-old "ehhhh, it's been around this long, might as well leave it be" factor.

No one ever seems to die on Funny Or Die. I don't understand - there should be a pretty huge body count by now.
