I've seen Cabin twice, it's amazing, an instant classic, and it's still in a few theaters. Gather up your Whedonite friends (Avengers fans will do in a pinch) and go, people!

POSSIBLE SPOILER

Do they have this product in Canada, if so, what do they call it, and how does it affect the universe of pork products? Enquiring minds...

This being the picture...

Musubi (popular in the cultural melting pot that is Hawaii) is pretty damn awesome. The picture pretty much explains it.

I use Google for minor fact- and spell-checking, and, having seen the Earl of Fingall (formerly a lowly baron) thing, and that thing being glorious, I had to throw it in, even if all it amounted to was a WTF reaction. Plus, I figured if you saw it, well, to Google oneself is only human. Cheers and keep up the good…

I'm pretty happy with things, I really like Kotaku Melodic and the blocks of programming, generally. I feel like you've built on and expanded the big pink K's propensity to bring in outside voices, and that's great. You haven't backed down from the issues of gender/race/sexuality that have always been problematic both…

So you're not opposed to the term so much as its indiscriminate use. Fair enough.

My kids and I saw The Avengers on Friday, then again on Sunday with my sister, so we're doing our part. I think this movie's going to have some legs. GTG, so hungry. Think I'll go out for some [spoiler].

Actually, he's mostly been afforded creative freedom when he's been a director (movies) or EP (TV, at least once his shows get going), the problem has been that, outside of an admittedly fervent fanbase, he his non-Buffy related projects have had only moderate success. Joss was able to make The Cabin in the Woods (and…

I've never felt so invested in the box office success of a film before. I saw the film twice this weekend and loved it, but what really bouyed my spirits was thinking about another film. Inception. When The Dark Knight was an enormous international hit, Warner Bros. let Nolan make a blockbuster that was truly his own,…

Agreed. While there are somewhat recent versions of Galaga, there are none that I know of that would make sense as targets of an ad campaign. I'm guessing Joss played a lot of Galaga back in the day, and the choice of Galaga personalized what would otherwise have been a solitaire, Tetris or WOW gag.

I figured they must of picked up one of Crecente's 'Well Played' features for republication, but no, it was Ash's article.

Bugles, both Original, Peanut Butter Chocolate and hell, Caramel are great, too.

People forget that Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic actually started off as an ambitious sequel to Super Mario Bros., was stripped of Mario elements which were later added back, and that the game was eventually released as a Mario game even in Japan. So the constant smack-down of anybody who refers to SMB2 is mostly…

Comfortably dumb.

I have several recordings of Beethoven symphonies recorded by the Berlin Philharmoniker under the direction of Herbert von Karajan, which I have conflicted feelings about. They were recorded in the sixties and seventies, but it is well known that Karajan took advantage of the political situation in Nazi Germany to…

When I was in school, we did (I'm 40.). In fact, learning even the official version of American History was pretty guilt inducing. Which is fine. Few countries have a clear conscience, but if we ignore the horrors committed in our names, we have no conscience at all.

Congratulations to Ecce Hobo who would have been 'hearted' upon my becoming aware of his name, because c'mon... Ecce Hobo, but whose trenchant comment reached the kill screen of my personal, beating, bleeding heart. If you haven't, take a gander at the unedited comment.

I don't have any Hemophiliac or Moonchild Trio, but I do have (in addition to the FNM and Bungle albums) some John Zorn stuff with Patton, and I do own two Tomahawk albums, 4 or 5 Fantomas albums (including the live one with The Melvins), the Dillinger Escape Plan EP, and the Peeping Tom, Lovage and General Patton…
