Well there you go! Atleast we're only using 70% of the original screenplay now…

. . .Did you really just argue that because we know one guy who wrote down stuff about another guy we know he existed then used that exact argument as justification for why the other guy didn't exist?

I hadn't heard of them until AV Club shoved them into my lap and my weakness is west coast / surf /garage rock and Bleached fits that perfectly. The new album is better than expected but I actually still prefer the older rougher stuff.

Completely beat me to it. I never lived in Chicago but know enough people who did that being a Cubs fan is basically admitting you're a rich suburbanite. It's kind of that way in Pittsburgh being a Penguins fan full time. Everybody loves the steelers by default, it's a requirement unless you're the one douchebag in…

Is it weird that you're having an honest discussion over this? I want to believe this is some disturbingly deep irony but it reads as an honest confession and it makes me kind of proud people are evolving, if only selfishly..

Men still hold more purchasing power within the market because they still hold higher paying jobs and tend to be the leader on making initial decisions still. Marketing is a pain in the wazoo but there is some truth to the model even if it's based on misogynistic problems. :(

I can't seem to find the Kennedy Assassination Comedy Central bumper but the googles are strong for the other one. :)

You would think with even crashed and mostly destroyed alien tech we would have enough ships to have reversed engineered them to use their own weapons against them by now….But that would require them to write a whole difference movie when they could rehash 80% of the original with new character names and slightly…

I'm won over. I didn't want to see it at first but I actually tend to really enjoy high fantasy tails of self-realization. Just as long as he isn't actually dead the whole time and it's all a big escapade to find eternity I'm good to go…

A good number of sects of christianity take a similar stand on Jesus. But again, we're discussing the man as a literal figure within history, not validating his claims as a person. I would place Jesus in the same category as Socrates at this point, most likely they existed and most likely their followers (Plato and…

S'alright, I was just utterly confused. :P

I would say thumbing through the comments most people are more annoyed at evangelicals for making out God to be a spiteful cretin full of hate rather than a loving creator. But that's the problem with the whole discussion.

That's aggressively broad statement. They fail to respect primary sources in regard to Jesus as a historical figure. There is no primary evidence to validate this and most definitely the relevant evidence emerged about 100-140 years after his death as his religion expanded dramatically.

The right is more outwardly anti-science, the left gets caught in anti-capitalism attached to science. It's why people discuss 'cures' as a function of medicine which isn't accurate.

Who are you talking to? Of course you can, I was talking internal rules that would allow them to sanction her. I'm pretty sure I made no implication to that effect unless you meant a generic 'Christians' statement. I probably talk about faith every so often in my classroom but i'm at the University level where I…

They're going for a Scopes-Monkey trial argument. The ACLU could seek an injunction but there are likely laws on the books in a state that establish what is useful teaching and I could easily imagine in their right-wing minds that the ACLU would try that angle..even though a jury trial made up of local red state…

As an active Catholic I really find these movies disgusting. They live and thrive by selling to a narrow band of extreme evangelical christians who want nothing more than for their own little slice of fascism to meet their needs. Hollywood responded by pushing these awful films out on low budgets knowing that large…

5x a week = 13 weeks or roughly 3 months of episodes before you recycle the line. It's a pretty standard plan given most kids would have afterschool activities that broke up their watching patterns.

I haven't followed wrestling in years and I inexplicable clicked on this link just for the hell of it. To Kyle Fowles, you are a a true connoisseur of wrasslin'. Just the ability to take it on a level that is both completely aware of the false nature and the stellar love of it all makes me wish I could have that…

Wow…I was quietly enjoying the sketch until 1:34 in and then it took a serious turn (I saw it coming…but I didn't think they would go there). I see now why it ended up cut. :S
