I would imagine that California, like many other blue (and formerly blue states) presumably actually has blue regions and red ones when you break it down, it just happens to have a net blue total for now at least.

Well, that's the thing. They've found it largely makes no difference at all. They basically make tonnes of money regardless of who's in it and what the script is (probably why there's so many stories as to why they're writing the movie as they're filming it). Also, they've been finding that seems to be the case with a…

I went to see the first three at the cinema solely to support Frank Welker and Peter Cullen but even for that, I couldn't go on. It was worth seeing Part 3 for the experience as I was in Thailand at the time, firstly for having to go through a metal detector to get into my cinema and secondly for the sight of the…

Everyone's in on it and covers it up. Even the very first couple of episodes, at the end, Xander's like everything's going to change … but it doesn't. Attacks on the Bronze and elsewhere are frequently written off as something else. People on PCP was a popular one. Sunnydale had quite the PCP problem.

Actually, the Chinese never originated that phrase. What they came up with is actually even better.

The prom episode all but confirmed that people know what's going on in Sunnydale, they just did their best not to talk about it. As for the Mayor, the fact he was determined to do his whole speech makes me not at all surprised that he didn't notice the composition of his audience. Raging narcissists are like that.

Except for the fact we would have built said robots at some point.

I understood that reference!

Leave the Southern Hemisphere out of this.

I was taught, after you get the symptoms, make a list of all the possible causes that could be a condition that not only could cause that symptom but also be fatal. Then systematically rule out each one as best you can. It makes the possibility of missing something much less likely, I'd like to think.

There was also a known family history of heart disease? … dismissed as chest pain (that's a symptom, not a diagnosis!)

Did they not do an ECG and enzyme blood tests? OK, so it's not always obvious on an ECG upfront but we have to be careful with chest pain and rule out all the serious stuff as best we can before even thinking of sending someone home.

My so-called Top Priority list (or more accurately even just seeing in the cinema at all) has dropped to almost nothing. I think I'm just falling out of love with the whole medium which is a shame. I guess time changes us all given enough … time.

It's strange in a way, I find this fact actually quite liberating in the sense that if I have no chance in keeping up, why even try - so my consumption of TV shows and movies has gone way down in the last few years.

I didn't know this at the time but if I wanted to ever take Enter the Dragon seriously, I probably shouldn't have seen Kentucky Fried Movie (specifically the "A Fist Full of Yen") segment first.

According to this, if true - what happened is the following:

Small flaw in your plan as you have excellent taste with this choice. It really was cleverly done right up to the end where the main character played by Chris Evans notes that chances are, this whole relationship probably won't last in the long run which is … actually quite insightful and realistic on top of actually…

Interesting thing is, you can wean your palate off certain flavours. I've long since greatly reduced the amount of sugar I'm eating, so just about everything in the carbonated beverage/dessert etc, I'm finding much sweeter than I used to, often unbearably so.

This is going to sound stupid (so par for the course for me) but I had to teach myself how to eat oranges properly. Turns out I find they're (as in the juice) is much nicer that way even with freshly squeezed juice. It's also good for all the reasons you said up there.

Potato, potatoe … which I recently learned wasn't actually a spelling error until Dan Quayle made it so. Who would have thought?
