I admit, I was pretty pleasantly surprised with Dredd as well. Maybe this is because I didn't have very high expectations going in, but that's not the point. Anyway, for Netflix, I found it a pretty damn good option. Now, do I want it in that fucking rip-off "Watch It Again" list? Shit, no! Let's not be…

What? No arcologies?
"Michael. Angel. Oh." made me laugh....out loud, too!
In praise of the Batman, the Robin, and the holy Albert, we give thanks on this day, the Batarangath...
Excellent list, George! But let's be realistic here—we can't even get a realistic 3rd party option on the damn Presidential ballot, much less anything even remotely approximating a "government of the wise"....
"Luck" is the 'why' in the "why they play the game", or the "it's why they don't play the games on paper". It's the end result of the randomness that is spawned by the actions of two individuals, or two groups of individuals, acting against each other to achieve the same goal. It is the end result of the mental and…
It seems like Detroit is getting to the point where it might not even be worth saving, or at least large swaths of it, anyway. If scenes like this have become unsurprising, the cost of rebuilding neighborhoods just to make them habitable might be more than any city could bear.
Why exactly would we want to fuck around with this sort of thing? Just to see if we could do it? Getting a 'head start' on viruses is one thing (though even the value in this is questionable, considering how they're so good at mutating right under our collective noses, and by the time a virus reaches a problem…
He did. Not very much, but enough to call.
Gotta be. It's not like he's botching tough bounces. Only way he could play the ball worse is if he stood in place and threw his glove at it.
It makes sense, as a pervasive focus on the self, which is much more known, keeps the narcissist from having to confront 'failure' when they interact with others. The essential difference, it would seem, between NPD and the 'purer' psychopath would be from where the condition starts. The NPD uses the focus on self…
In a bizarre twist, Todd is actually the first customer and buys all 25, as he deals with extreme guilt about the hookup and gets a perverse satisfaction out of punishing himself over it.
Absolutely agree. Better to use something designed for the actual purpose, instead of something with an accessory tacked-on.
Having practically NO artistic ability at all, I'm envious of the ability some people have to look at a view and see the potential brilliance in photographing it. Fortunately, that envy is far outweighed by my ability to enjoy the magnificent images.
From the Encyclopedia Brittanica series of educational films comes "Going Nuts for Coconuts!" (1950):
Oh, and "kind of"? Methinks ye be too kind to this nightmare....
Sorry, (grossly, comedically exaggerated air quotes) "Jill"....if that IS your REAL name! Which we both know it isn't so shut up. You're a day late; I already talked to your buddy, Bill. You're both just such DAMN DIRTY LIARS! YOU LIE, DAMN YOU! IS THERE NOTHING I CAN TRUST IN ANYMORE? (cue sad string music,…
Interesting angle. While the main concerns are always "What happens if China gets frisky with us?", it's important to consider how things would fall if they got frisky with our allies, as well. I found an interesting little tidbit in the fascinating 'Stolen Seas' documentary: Japan has revamped their naval fleets to…
Well, fuckin' well! Lookie there..."Social Services", right near the top. Appears that my burnout is contageous....
Sterling strikes me as the type of person who would spend hours lining out his exact case, with justifications, evidence, and I-know-you-are-but-what-am-Iisms, for being 30 minutes late to a meeting, instead of taking just four seconds to say "I'm sorry I'm late. I apologize."
