I think we're safe on the Eraserhead front, but I'd be kind of shocked if 20 years went by, and there wasn't at least one of the following remade, prequeled or sequeled: Metropolis, Citizen Kane, The Godfather. Maybe someday, in the distant future, there will be decent Star Wars prequels. Who knows? It's THE FUTURE.

While reiterating that I do, in fact, use soap... I would hypothesize that of the elements that are usually considered hallmarks of effective hand-washing: use of soap, water temperature, duration, scrubbing, surface area washed (further up the arm is better) thorough drying and frequency, that use of soap is probably…

I don't know about Morgan Freeman, but at the scale of the earth, David Cross' balls are roughly the same smoothness as the earth (it's actually hard to distinguish between the two [the surface of the earth and Cross' balls, at equal scale... not the balls themselves, each is fairly distinctive]), although probably…

First of all, my first sentence clearly states that I use soap, so I'm not sure what cbstryker is on about. As you've managed to avoid ad hominem attacks and seem able to read and express yourself quite well, I'll oblige you.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Paranorman. I hope it's great, because I love love love analog animation techniques. I don't have a problem with computer animated films, just with the assumption that any animated film has to be computer animated, and 3-D. It feels like that has died down a bit, and studios are…

I'll say up front that I do use soap, but studies have shown water to be as effective as soap and water, or even iodine. There's nothing wrong with using soap, iodine or other surfactants/disinfectants, but I think sometimes people think that if they're using soap they can wash their hands really quickly and not very…

Joss Whedon loves television but has craved success in the cineplex. Marvel is attempting serialized storytelling in the movies in a fashion more ambitious than anything Lucas has pulled off. And now, Joss Whedon is the movies' first showrunner. If anyone can pull this off, it's Joss. It'll be interesting to see how…

Of COURSE... exfoliating gel scrub! Why didn't I think of that?

Apparently.

My daughter and I were more concerned about how he cleans off the (what appears to be) lamp black. It seems like it would take a while to come off, but there are several scenes throughout the movie where Bruce should be raccoon-eyed and shows not a trace of black.

I love Miles Davis. The most original, exacting artists always have contrary opinions, always hate what others (even rightly) love, because it's by separating themselves from their peers that they achieve greatness: by trusting in their own rightness, by deciding 'this is the path of art and other paths are invalid'.…

I haven't read those books in ages, but I remember the Great Brain stories addressing different forms of discrimination, partly to more accurately portray the injustice of the time. Sometimes stories with the goal of exposing discrimination still manage to encode unexamined biases. I loved all those books too. While I…

The Bible was written Calvinball style, so I'll go ahead and say that while it may be darn near impossible to achieve complete coherence and consistency without adding layers of 'fanon' on top of the resulting structure (and believe me, there's a ton of fanon in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and indeed every…

Since many people would choose to close their eyes, I would imagine the use of the device would border on torture if we're talking about forcing people (I'm sorry, 'enemies') to keep their eyes open, as in A Clockwork Orange. And the same technology could be used to measure what images you find disturbing, then…

Heh. I just watched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name does just this to Tuco. Which, really, was forcing him to make the correct move... a good idea, since Tuco proves his stupidity time and time again throughout the film.

Since this is a meaningless (but fun!) exercise, and since the next generation MS & Sony (but probably NOT Nintendo) console generation will feature some streaming games at some point in their life-cycle, how about nBox, as in the next console will be the Xbox 3, 4, 5... and also a play on inbox, as in log in to see…

Since this is a meaningless exercise, anyway, and since it's likely we'll see some sort of game streaming at some point in the next MS & Sony (but most likely NOT Nintendo) console life-cycle, how about nBox, as in the next console is the Xbox 3, 4, 5..., as well as punning on in-box, as in turn it on and see what new…

I hope he didn't get any clarity on her dress...

I get what you're saying, that, for instance Rothfuss happily occupies a genre ghetto where his (highly enjoyable) stories refuse to interact with and comment upon our world, but are you including Pullman? Because I felt like His Dark Materials was only children's literature in the sense that it invited children to…

So that's what Xbox8 means...
