"Sirens of Titan" is my favorite Vonnegut book, and one of my favorite books of all time. I'm beyond excited for this.

…really? You get that from my post?

If it's so obvious that "everyone" knows it, then you should be able to prove it. Until then, I'll stick with Christopher Hitchens: "what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."

The best part of this is imagining the top NSA spook with the Windows username "SexLord69." It says that on his computer every time he logs in! "Hello SexLord69!"

Or with comments and edits turned on!

…ok, but if a widely believed "fact" can't be proven true, then maybe it isn't a fact at all. I mean, lots of people (including our current president!) believe that Obama's birth certificate is fake, so using your logic I could just as easily claim that any one of the various documents Alex Jones has peddled through

Why would it? Every typewriter in 1970 came pre-installed with Word!

RE: Dan Rather, if by "using questionable sources," you mean "using an obvious fake document that was spotted as such within hours of Rather's broadcast, and that should never have been aired at all" then yeah, that's what happened.

Place gets more tiresome by the day.

Unfortunately no. Why, I even remember the days when this was just a simple pop culture website.

Oh my god, what a MONSTER. BURN HIM! BURN HIM!

I'm sad that I can only upvote this once. You've captured the downward spiral of The AV Club perfectly. I think I come here only out of habit at this point, but habits can change.

I love Pirates 3 as well. I would have a hard time explaining exactly why, but something about that movie just works for me.

I'm glad this gives some love to The Scorpion King. It has this reputation as this all-time bad movie that it really doesn't deserve. It's no masterpiece, but it is a very fun movie.

Not in the slightest.

I have nothing to add to your actual comment. I just wanted to say that your username is hilarious. Well done, good sir!

McConaghey takes the ridiculousness of the premise so seriously, and it just works.

So let it be tweeted, so let it be DONE.

I enjoyed the book, but I do like that the movie trimmed out a lot of the unnecessary fluff from it, like how Bourne was created to try and kill that other assassin, or all of Marie's digressions into the boring minutiae of international finance.

I 100% believe this statement to be true.
