I just had my doctor explain this to me, and the way she put it was: you do not/cannot get the virus that’s in the flu shot. However, since a flu shot is injecting your body with a bunch of dead viruses that your immune system has to respond to, it can have the effect of making you susceptible to other viruses or…

You are totally correct. Avengers is what truly started the Marvel Cinematic Universe; everything before that was throwing them throwing pasta to the wall to see what stuck (how many people showed up to see the first Thor and Captain America? Not that many, they were incredibly mild hits). Iron Man was chasing the…

Everything the article goes on to argue—that it will be with us forever—proves it’s a masterpiece. It’s not a 100% perfect movie, but “Masterpiece” is not a synonym for 100% perfect.

It’s the suit he was wearing when he was set on fire—the idea is that it’s charred black where it touched the accelerant with bits of the red lining poking through.

Judging by the response I get on twitter whenever I badmouth him, his fanbase is mostly paid bots.

A creationist attempting logic to disprove aliens. A chemist who capitalizes “Elements.” You’re a delight.

Just want to say I agree with you, and I don’t get why these mooks are trying to argue with you. The selection and quality of content is down; who gives a shit what the business reasons are? I actually cancelled my subscription for three months because of it (and told them why). I came back for a month, watched some…

The plot of Batman versus Superman is Batman trying to kill Superman.

Wow, I didn’t know that. The thing that makes that scenario so much better is that it becomes about Batman thinking quickly to escape a villain’s clutches (something he does all the time, with no overhanging moral implications), instead of “I’ll just stand here, several feet away from you, and leave you to die while I…

I love Episode I but Sam Jackson has some of the strangest acting in the prequels (“A Sith... LORD?”).

You’d also have to overlook Maz saying, “You already know the truth: whoever you’re waiting for is never coming back.”

Han Beardo.

That’s not the new series. That’s one of the shorts Nick has been doing.

It’s also possible, since games and animation have such long lead times, that the decision to make this game happened before the decision to wind down the current show and start up a new one.

I have no idea when the new show is supposed to start, so there could be at least another year where this is “the” version of TMNT supported by licensing. And/or maybe the new version isn’t finished enough for them to be sending out designs and imagery to licensees.

Five years ago. This incarnation of the Turtles is actually ending after its current season. The next series is 2-D animated, but if you think these designs look bad, well, brace yourself.

The Secret Service would have soooooooooooooooooooooooo many people to investigate.

I do know the difference real life and fiction, dipshit, because I know a sex offender. When what he’d done came to light, it gave context to so many little things I’d witnessed throughout his life (for instance, how the only news stories he ever commented were recovered-memory molestation cases and how “well, these…

Pretty weird that the guy who said “If you actually participate in a rumor, you make it bigger and you make it real” wrote, starred in, and directed an entire movie about what he insists totally fake non-allegations.

Weirder still, *he himself spent years harping on the President.* Why would he think that becoming President would earn anyone universal love acclaim?
