"Climatic scene?" So it was a scene featuring lots of weather?

It's not the new policies
It's the principle. The very very best thing about the avclub comments was the total ballsiness you guys had in allowing unregistered, unmoderated comments. It was kind of a statement in and of itself, and a vote of confidence in your readers. And I loved that. That's why I'm disappointed.…

Good job, avclub.
Hooray for reviewing this book. Carl Zimmer is one of the very best science writers out there. His blog, if you don't know of it, is exceptional.

Nah, he hasn't abandoned the beauty. It's a fluke of production - he's always pursuing multiple projects, what's out of his control is which ones get funded.

I can definitely see how it would seem bizarre. But there are moments of the "your highness" sensibility in George Washington and All the Real Girls, too. Moments that to most people just came off as forgivable clumsy stabs at surreal profundity, but which, to David, were high comedy.

This is an admittedly lame thing to say, but David Green is a good friend of mine. And in his defense, he's not at all doing this shit for the money - which is another incredibly lame thing to say, but it's true. He still lives the way he did in high school - like a borderline ascetic. I've never known a person who…

Honestly, this is the first time I've posted since it was canned. Nice to see you, m1ngle.

Yay

That was unmitigatedly spectacular.

Almost as inspiring as this guy's genuinely excellent choice is the fact that it made news. Kudos all around.

I stand by my misinformation.

@segascream … seriously? I missed that hilariously vindicating (for humanity, not her, obviously) detail.

Jenny McCarthy. She has an autistic kid with Jim Carrey. And she's been on a horribly destructive tear to convince people that autism is caused by vaccinations.

Agreed. A sentence like that floats leisurely atop a vast ocean of lesser sentences.

That was my thought. But from some of these other links, it looks like he's all over other mayoral campaign events, and seems to be a known quantity. Odd.

I before E except after C?

Wait wait, are infinite jest references like an established avclub meme now? Dammit, i hate being late to internet parties.

Let's not draw Keanu into this.

This thread is fitted desert fashion.

No, High Moon wanted to use the voices that were in the game. At the time of our record, it was Fred Tatasciore doing Megatron in War for Cybertron, not Frank. I imagine it's Fred in the final, but not sure on that. Did get to meet (over ISDN patch, anyway) Corey Burton though. Interesting character.
