Relatively Famous
I think the world's most famous female superhero is God.

Even though I find both of them (Rush and Brian) insufferable, at least Rush has the excuse of being a drug addict to explain some of what comes out of his mouth. I can't help but wonder if he would make more sense clean.

Death Hitch 3
Rape scene aside, Hitch still wasn't a great movie.

Americans have a (probably deserved) reputation for being incredibly anal about lip movements exactly matching the voices of a dub. They can get away with it in animation because the labial sounds are the only real cues. [insert labial joke]

So it's unanimous that I should watch the American version because the Swedish one is terrible. Gotcha.

The Big Question
Assuming that I don't really mind subtitles, does this mean that I'm better off seeing the Swedish version, or is the American version equally good if you're not directly comparing it shot-by-shot to the original?

I didn't know Bellona was in Chrono Trigger.

What A Big Gun You Have
The concluding sentence for every review on AVClub must begin with "Rape scene aside…."

Any particular reason you think it was faked? That's exactly what my wife looked like when hydrocephalus hit out of the blue.

I think they're shooting for cheap nostalgia in the "hip" cities without realizing how many people in middle America are still genuinely stuck in the 80s.

Fun Fact
"Let's Get It Started" is the edited-for-radio version of "Let's Get Retarded."

It was explained that none of the news agencies was broadcasting live, so they had the chance to beat everybody up and take their footage. I'm not sure why all the reporters were speaking into their cameras at the same place and time to make pre-recorded material, but whatever.

I put in 90210, and it turns out that 8 of the "selected cities" are in southern CA. None, however, are within 40 miles of any city I could drive to in a day.

"Reboot" seems to mean that it's not making any claim to continuity with what's already established. It's the same general framework, but starting the story from scratch.

I think it's based less on the interpersonal dynamic than the "ignorant savages attacking innocent settlers and raping white women" thing.

Because running on a flat barren surface is a good way to lose helicopter pursuit? I thought there was something clever like the dad firing a flare.

Bland. James Bland.
I found myself wandering away from the television whenever Mr. Tiny Beard was talking. He and his girlfriend are really not engaging, which bodes poorly for me continuing to watch unless things pick up.

Go with whichever device is less proprietary. If you need to, say, purchase through Amazon or through B&N and they decide they want to discontinue support of the model you have in order to make you upgrade, I could see that being an issue.

When the battery dies on my paperback, we can have the discussion about changing media.
