Batman is normal. The other guy is strong, and he also probably has a name and no you don't need to learn it or anything, he'll be gone in a few months and then you'll see him in something Grant Morrison writes when he's 95.

It's to protect his penis in case they punch him in the penis.

No, see, it's paying homage so it's smart & creative. Like the smart & creative Batman v Superman did with DKR.

You have it exactly backwards.

I wouldn't; even the brain-dead American press realizes this could precipitate further disintegration of the EU. Which would be bad for rich countries in Europe and bankers in New York, and great for everyone else on the planet.

The United States prefers to send guns, cash and foreign intelligence to enforce the EU's will through violent coups. See: Ukraine.

There sure is a positive: the European Union is a debt-mongering gang run by the financial elites of Europe on the advisement of their American counterparts. It serves as an arm of NATO, which has metamorphosed from an anti-USSR alliance into a means of projecting the will of its leading countries. Today it took a hit…

Actually, I'm articulating a line that may very well be the opinion of the majority of people on Earth paying attention to this issue, who tend to have little love for the idea of a gigantic monetary and political union run out of Berlin through Brussels for the benefit of the U.S. and its closest allies. (It's also…

At least this article admits that the American understanding of these issues is about an inch deep.

If you're talking about the politicians, they all go to the same parties together. If you're talking about me, none of them represent my point of view as far as I'm aware, although it's a very common one outside of the white West.

My main takeaway as an American is that this story proves liberal Americans still take their opinions from whatever corporate-sponsored shill catches their ear for five minutes to repeat talking points that neither the speaker nor the listener understand, and so they're still total suckers for whatever the financial…

The EU is garbage run by bankers. The British left it because they're xenophobes who see its poorer nations as feckless debtors, but then again, so do the people who run the EU from Central Europe.

I think it's too bad they made any sequels after Aliens, and I'm one of those freaks who genuinely enjoys all the cuts of Alien³, even given the obvious mess made of the various scripts and of Fincher's plans for the movie. I still can't argue it was worth the time and money spent on cheaping up a well-remembered…

And the problem with that (entertaining enough) movie was that with a massively skilled team at every level, they still had a hard time convincing us that the hero had any feelings about what was happening that were any deeper than what he could express in quippy YouTubes.

LOL, burn.

Lindsay Lohan: Voice Of Reason To The Sort Of Person Who Consults John Oliver On Monetary Policy.

Trailer showed promise. But I knew there was no way they were going to go full "Our Man" with Lively. I'll see it anyway and empty my bladder during the flashbacks.

I enjoyed when Tom Scocca didn't work for Gawker and described working for Gawker as children killing the writing trade by accepting Skittles as payment.

Which was wisely edited into an implication instead of a maudlin overemphasis.
