I think that shirt is a sign that the internet is dead. Pack it in everyone, we had a good run!

I'll definitely have to look into those recommendations @avclub-d4ab2732ed8ac6a4b2d9734cf4c851d2:disqus @avclub-df106893a4574bccb7bce1ff66e788b9:disqus @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus. The comic store in town is an old, independent establishment as well, so it'd be nice to support them a bit more.

Word on the (somewhat unreliable) street says it's coming this Thursday, which would be fairly consistent with previous sales.

@avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus Maybe it was a meta, if still sort of dickish, twist on the cyber-bullying discussion in his post.

That's what turned me off from The Walking Dead as well. There's not enough action for it to work as just a campy zombie fest, but all of the characters are too lifeless and poorly written for me to care about any of the drama either. The result is just distilled boredom.

I celebrated our nation's independence by sleeping in late, playing games and generally basking in laziness, as the founders intended. On a bit of a whim on Friday I also stopped in at the local comic book store and picked up a copy of Superman: Red Son, which envisions Superman as a Soviet hero.

Oh no, white as they come.

Seconding this. MoS&I is great, and if nothing else is totally worth going to for the beautifully restored German U-boat alone.

I got matched with someone recently whose profile picture features her dressed in all black and wielding a katana against a flame background. So…there's that.

Those Transformers movies did alright, and hard as Bay might have tried to make them otherwise, they're still basically about giant robots. Granted, that's an established franchise so it's a touch different.

Sharknado goes in, Sharknado goes out. You can't explain that.

I must have missed the part in the Bible where Jesus snaps Pontius Pilate's neck while screaming into the sky.

In Soviet Russia, ElDan doll tickle you!

I think it's a basic case of these agents never saying no to huge sums of money and not being bright enough to know the names of these folks off the top of their head.

This. Shall not. Pass….quality standards!

I feel your pain friend, Charter is astoundingly incompetent in almost every way that matters. If there were even a touch more competition around here I imagine they'd go out of business overnight.

Jumping onto the bandwagon several years late, I started watching season 1 of Breaking Bad. As expected it's an excellent show, with superbly drawn characters and a very evocative sense of place. There's simply an attention to nuance and detail here not often found in other programs, and its central setpieces from the…
