Both these monsters had extremely unattractive mothers.  Hitler's mom's mustache was thicker than his.

"I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me—how ludicrous
that pairing was.  They’re polar opposites and it made no sense."

I'm not particularly beholden to his reviews, but he's my hero for bitching about 3-D.  I hate 3-D with the strength of a thousand suns, perhaps more than Ebert himself.  I wish the man well.

(sigh)  You're 100% correct.

I have to give Abrams credit.  He brought Star Trek back from the dead.  I thought such a thing was impossible since "Voyager".

Her face is going to melt under the lights like "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

What I'm trying to figure out is how the fuck do you have a casual conversation with a dude getting a BJ?

One may be tempted to walk out on this movie, but it's better just to stay put until the credits.  Once you find the humor (even if unintentional) it can actually be fun.

The slashing at the groin was pretty low, but what about lamming it in a goddamn gym?  Can you imagine 24 hours/day of smelling dirty socks, mold, and ass?

I invented Facebook when I was in High School.  I feel asleep in one of my texts during Algebra.

Wing Commander was okay, but I agree, Privateer was the gold standard as far as I'm concerned.  I loved the concept of high risk/reward for smuggling contraband, as compared to legal goods.  And upgrading your ship/weapons was so satisfying.  We need a renaissance of space combat games.

Oh, man.  Your handle.  It's from an old C-64 game, isn't it?  I think it was one of the first times I heard a voice clip in a game.

You're telling me.  For many years I laughed at how my dad appeared.  One morning I looked in the mirror and said "Hi, Dad."

I agree that Nicholson is not even worthy of consideration.  The asshole didn't even try to "act".  All he did was a terrible impression of Jack Nicholson.  He clearly had contempt towards the material, and thought it was beneath him.  And then he goes on and does cornier, stupider shit like "Wolf" and "Witches of

Of course, the advent of CD ROMs allowed the inclusion of video clips, and that shit got out of control.  It still cracks me up thinking about the clips of Hamill donning his helmet before going on missions.  It was so corny.

As a rule, I avoided Sierra games like the plague.  I fucking hate games that allow you to proceed after making a mistake that makes ending it impossible.  They clearly did this to force you to buy the strategy guides, because one couldn't simply check the internet.  Dark ages, man.  Now I feel like a fossil.

I'm with you.  I side with Picard on the classic debate.  Picard thinks about everything he does, and doesn't just pull things out of his ass.  Kirk is all about luck.

Plus the man was in a terrible motorcycle accident between "New Hope" and "Empire".  He looking busted up in the Hoth cave wasn't just makeup.  But yeah, let the snarkers rip on that, too.

I can't see why the shelf-life of a voice actor can't be indefinite.  On screen it gets ridiculous when a starship captain is old, fat, wrinkled, and bald.  But you can't hear that shit.

Voice: Hamill
