Ouch. You hit me right where it hurts, you sentient penis you.

Good point. For someone who has never read the comics, though, it just seems to come out of nowhere.

I'm anxiously awaiting the K'NEX movie, which will look slick and glossy and cool but actually provide no fun at all. 

Even if we don't know the exact reasons for Gregor Samsa turning into a bug or K. going on trial, at least these events reveal important aspects about their respective characters. They don't just serve as lazy plot devices when the author can think of no other way for moving action forward. The examples that Tasha…

How about the 2003 Hulk film, when it's suddenly revealed that our green hero has SUPER LONG-DISTANCE JUMPING POWER he can use to escape pretty much any foe?

Jimmy is definitely messing with the wrong Jewish butcher, and he'll have to alter his diplomatic methods significantly if he wants to maintain his new power.

Re: Owen and Margaret

Yes, really fantastic scene all around. I also thought Jimmy would warn Nucky at the last moment, but the way he leaned in and said, "You just need to make a decision" showed that he's past the point of regret. He just wanted to get in the last word — and probably identify Nucky for the shooter, which gave the whole…

Ricky, my friends and I watched two of those repeatedly during middle school. You must've done something right.

They have an Owned by Halliburton? That's neat.

The bassist looks like such a bassist.
