Did everybody just agree to ignore "I know I'm a vampire, Snooki!? Or was I just that drunk. But no, I rewound just to make sure I had heard that. Seems we haven't really seen a lot of pop culture references or meta moves like 'Snookie' reading Charlaine Harris. I hope some adult gave the writers a stern talking too…

Yeah... I read those words and new I'd internetted enough for today. It evoked an image of Jim Shooter masturbating furiously while writing Jack/Parry slashfic for The Fisher King. Spoiler alert: Shooter over-uses the word 'hirsute' to an embarrassing extent.

No, no, no... because our attempts to eradicate diseases in the third world are thwarted by concerns that vaccines are attempts to sterilize/poison/whatever. If there is a legitimate concern that the CIA might bend vaccination programs towards other uses, it will be a huge setback in the fight to eradicate diseases…

I went to streaming only a while ago, so I'm not alarmed by the change-over. Yes, there is occasionally something I'll miss, but I was always such a procrastinator about watching and returning the discs, anyway. So it wasn't really a good deal for me. Of course I feel others' pain, but I can understand that neither…

SH wasn't a masterpiece, but it was certainly very very entertaining, and I was drooling for a sequel as the credits rolled. I love film as art, but I also like when films are content to be fun and entertaining, without being completely moronic (*cough cough Transformers cough*). I felt like Thor (although very…

Great idea, and it wouldn't cost them anything. And if I were worried about the cap, there are some things I would choose to watch in HD (special effects heavy sci-fi and fantasy, and some gorgeously shot non-genre films, and other things I'm happy watching in SD, like a lot of animation and TV shows. Seems like it…

I'm a little disappointed by the CIA story. The intention was good, but there is so much paranoia around vaccination programs, and it does not help to use them for anything other than the advertised purpose. Eradication of disease is more important than a short term military goal.

For the record, Amazon's don't come in a horrible plastic coffin that you have to hack through with a knife or scissors and then tear open just to get at your cable... I hate those things, and almost all video game accessories use that type of packaging... and usually there isn't any way to tell what you might be…

Probably from one of those sequels that I will never see.

Great explanation, thanks!

I eventually decided it's so they can sell us DX later. Or maybe I'm just cynical.

Break out the rock salt, but some interesting names, would love for this to be true...

I. Did. Not. Need. To. Know. That. I should be a proper wreck after the midnight showing of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows pt. 2...

*cries, stares resentfully at WP7 phone, Kindle*

The length of a handheld console generation is far longer than the time before a new phone seems clunky. I'd go Vita, but wait for it to go on sale if you can and save your money until then. /two cents

But how many toes on the statue of Tawaret?

M.D.! You old Softee! Good to see you rising to the occasion of that sweet tweet!

My kids have become tolerant of watching subtitled movies, maybe we'll try that. I don't know why but I am much more tolerant of dubbing with animated movies. I don't usually watch dubbed versions of live action films. I watch Princess Mononoke with subtitles though, I really wasn't a fan of the dub on that one.

He holds up a vague (at least in terms of facts not derived from faith) grouping of "social science, the wisdom of our religious traditions, and the [there it is again] simple common sense of our lived experience" against gay marriage. Of course a lot of the "social science" arrayed against gay marriage is actually…

Because everybody assumes we're morons, or at least there are morons here that would buy the dvd if they recognize the names on the box, in addition to the fans of Miyazaki who will buy it regardless. But I'm importing.
