Perfectly understandable, my grandmother was the same way with her afternoon "stories." ;)

Yep, my first thought was, "Wait, what?"

No, but it does kinda creep me out that he's wearing his mask at the beach. Ah, the Marvel swimsuit specials—so much wrong was never enjoyed by so many!

"I've fallen down the Uncanny Valley and I can't get up!!"

"Can of Air" is the name of my next 90's emo cover band.

Earlier posts have already said all I could have about this ("YES!!! Woo-Hoo!!! But six seasons?"), so I'm going to latch onto the peripheral stuff. Hanks and Zemeckis are doing a Major Matt Mason movie?? Wow. I'd forgotten that Tom and I are roughly of an age; still, the fifty-something demographic seems a strange…

I've always thought Spielberg had a weird sense of what was "cute." E.T. didn't scare me, but he was damn disturbing. As Robin Williams once commented, he looked like he was standing on his own testicles. "Ouch" is right!

Never experienced this, but I do have photic sneeze reflex. Can you do an article on that, it's the only superpower I've got!

Boo, I was hoping this would be an adaptation of the Vertigo books!

I suspect that reaction to E.T. was pretty common with younger kids. True story: when I first saw the movie, I was sitting behind a mom who had to keep reassuring her (4-year-old?) son that E.T. was a "good" monster. His reaction, and I quote: "I don't like him! Him bite!"

I don't dare, I could get arrested!

Jorge Luis Borges' "The Library of Babel" has a fascinating take on this theme (no monkeys, though, the books already exist). Everyone should be required to read Borges.

RARGH!!! Hulk want Eggo's!

Thanks, I didn't know that about Garfield! But anyone who could write in Latin and Greek simultaneously was obviously gifted!

Cthulhu looks like he's wearing fingerless biking gloves! Awww, he's such a stylish little eldritch horror!

I'm surprised no one's mentioned James Garfield yet; he was ambi, and supposedly could write in two languages at the same time.

I tried it and, meh, the Siberian husky it matched me with was really cute, but I can't honestly say it even looked 60% like me. And my fiancee looks nothing like a mastiff!

This is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen! Wish he'd made the Catbus bigger, though (it's flying around Laputa with Kiki).

Ralph should also have warned us that Jewel Kryptonite is totally a Zoner scam!

Yep. Probably 60-70% of people in my neck of the woods have Cherokee or Chickasaw ancestry somewhere in their family trees. And as far as I've heard, Native Americans didn't have "princesses."
