I watched Something About Mary back-to-back with The Man Who Knew Too Little (Bill Murray) and I laughed a lot harder at the second one, yet Man is never on anyone’s list.

Pre-internet, I heard about Rosebud, and so Citizen Kane was already ruined before I went to see it. There’s a reason why Alfred Hitchcock paid to have ads in newspapers asking people not to tell their friends the ending to Psycho.
You’re the reason they’re talking about taking the caps lock off the keyboards!
It’s hard to be a parent in comics. Your kids lie to you, your spouse is often a mole, a clone...
I remember reading somewhere (or possibly it was mentioned in one of the movies) that the Enterprise was the only Constitution Class starship that survived its initial five-year mission. It would be cool to follow the mission of another ship of the same time period and class, knowing that at any point in the next four…
I kinda just gave up on the show (didn’t see this week’s episode) because it just didn’t have the yuks that I was expecting. I guess this is good news. I’ll probably watch the reboot to see if it works.
Well, admittedly, the guy who told me the story (let’s call him BT) was an *ss to begin with, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he made it up.

My boss at another company that I once worked for told me the reverse version of this story. Apparently he knew this guy, a young ad executive who was wining and dining some prospective new clients at an expensive steak house. He gives the waiter his platinum card to pay for the meal and the waiter comes back with the…
How could it have been one of the best if it couldn’t make enough money to stay afloat? I am another person who has never heard of this magazine.
Everyone hates lawyers till they need one.
Your justification for Vitamin Water is misguided. I used to work in packaging design (in Canada) and once did a package where were were told buy regulators that we had to rename one product “Chips and Fish” because the fries were so much higher in volume that the fish in the package. Vitamin water should have been…
You’d make a good lawyer.
I tend not to remember names or stories when I read, especially short fiction. Because of that I wrote an app for myself to rate stories, write a brief synopsis and review. So when I say it was an average year, that means each issue got a score of 5 or 6 out of ten. Eugene Fischer, Sarah Pinsker, Robert Reed, Nick…
The two stories you preview here are the best of the issue, but not by much. This issue is one of the lowest rated that I have read this year. Part of my problem with this issue is that most of the stories didn’t fit into the “Science Fiction” genre which is the stated goal of this magazine according to the byline.…
You realize that if Marty hadn’t messed with Biff, we’d have fusion power and hover boards right?
They always look like cuter versions of raccoons, but people don’t realize how big these things get. I was walking my dog in a lakeshore park rather late at night and she went nuts barking at what seemed to be a large shrubbery - till it started moving towards us! The beaver was much larger than my dog (Siberian…
