Upvoted for thoughtful humility, which is hard to find on the internet.

Semi-tangent, but we really need another Spaceballs movie while Mel Brooks is still around to make it.

There's also the classic "we don't have faith that you'll like the actual movie, so we'll make a trailer that makes it seem like a completely different kind of film!"

It's arguably the dullest European capital. I love European history and culture, but was really twiddling my thumbs after just a few hours there.

Those are the only two, though.

Sorry to hear that, man. My recommendation is that rather than taking something with you, just hide raw eggs in various places around in the office. Depending on the work schedule (and office temperature), they may not start to smell until everyone is gone for Christmas, leading to a wonderfully aromatic return from…

It's difficult, I think, to find a balance between breezy and hip vs. an organization with professional journalists. Great writing should be interesting and fun, but if it embraces subjectivism you're not that far from being a well-funded blog.

My understanding was that he actually did get that job (decades ago), and playing Mozart on Broadway was where he developed some of the laughs he used for the Joker.

Not only that, but "any idea I ever have has been done before, but better, by someone else, and what does it matter anyway because somehow complete hacks are successful and there is no justice in the world."

My imagined mashup of those two movies (A Major League of Their Own) is quite pleasing.

Relevant: GQ article by John Jeremiah Sullivan on what it's like to live in a house used in One Tree Hill. Well worth a read:

If reality is circular, you can look into the past to review works that will be published in the future. It's not journalistic malfeasance after all!

Serious question: so there's the Spawn movie, of course, but have any other properties from Image Comics been adapted into movies?

The winner takes on Lady Death!

The impression I get about Liberty is that the students are a pretty interesting group, but Jerry Falwell, Jr. . . . not so much. I read The Unlikely Disciple a while back, and it painted a much more nuanced picture than I was expecting.

Just out of curiosity, which one of these does Man Without a Face fall in?

The scene in The Pacific that absolutely broke my heart was when Sledge's character comes home and his dad, who treated WWI soldiers, hears his son crying out in the night with the same emotional trauma.

Schwimmer played a company commander. Having held that job (years after watching Band of Brothers), it's painful to watch now, because it's terrifying to see how his character deeply wants to be a good officer and have the respect of his men, and yet wildly screws it up through radical incompetence. The fear of…

Yeah. Actually throwing a grenade is sobering when you feel the weight in your hand and realize that your throwing arm won't get it quite as far away from you as you might like.
