A movie that has both Jennifer Connelly and the line of dialogue, "Easy, Frankenstein—you ain't bulletproof," is worth seeing.

We're through the looking glass here, people!

What, about the bears? Man, I thought the bit about Charles Dickens being omniscient was just a gag for the movie!

"'More of gravy than of grave'? What a terrible pun!"

Well that's awkward… They could at least send a card.

John Stamos?

Reading The Silmarillion is an intensely rewarding experience if you want to prepare yourself for having long conversations with people who'll stare blankly at you and then gradually walk away.

If I remember the article correctly, the trip was organized by some creationist with a Geology degree from my alma mater. I was so proud. But good on your friend!

I still have an old issue of Backpacker magazine from about 10 years ago, where they sent a writer to join a young-earth creationist rafting trip through the Grand Canyon—which the creationists think was not carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, but by the receding waters of Noah's Flood in one…

I learned about air traffic control terminology from Big Bird wondering if Santa Claus had gotten "stacked over Kennedy" on his way to 123 Sesame Street in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.

I read a review of that one on some blog before watching it, and that "Big Bird overpowers the will of gods and demons in a quest for celestial justice" is a entirely accurate description of the plot never ceases to astound and delight me.

The way Vin Diesel delivers that line instantly reduces my little sister to tears, which I have never once exploited for my own twisted amusement, honest.

I was a freshman in high school and watching a made-for-TV movie one night about this sci-fi series I'd just started following in reruns—Babylon 5: In the Beginning. That night my dad called me from the kitchen to go set the dinner table, right after the scenes of Londo's summary of the war and the President's speech…

Apollo 13 was just on AMC yesterday, and the scene that gets me every time got me again—when Jim Lovell's wife and daughters go to the nursing home to tell his dementia-suffering mother (played by Ron Howard's mom!) about the explosion on the ship. And as they're explaining it to her, the younger girl starts crying,…

Thank you for these reviews. They articulated a lot of the reasons why Babylon 5 meant so much to me when I watched it, and it was a pleasure to revisit the subject through this column (and the comment section, which so consistently demonstrated why the A.V.
