The Earth was on Earth the whole time! Those maniacs! They blew it up!

And meanwhile Furries everywhere search for a pre-order link…

Nope, wasn't aware at all. I don't read comics and everything I know about Batman involves Adam West, Michael Keaton, or Christian Bale. I would like to know more about this slumber party now, please.

I didn't even know my daddy HAD a Batman!

I just checked it out and…did it used to be better? Is there some sort of elaborate in-joke I'm missing because I'm not reading from the beginning?

Given that our forces in Afghanistan were once led by a man named General Tommy Franks, I'd say that Lieutenant Buttocks represents a significant step up in gravitas.

This was my LOL for the day as well.

While we're on the topic of spoilers, I saw the movie and still don't know what the surprise cameo was. Was Vera Farmiga played by Scott Bakula? Someone help me out here.

I might, but I'm also wondering why I don't just rent it on Netflix. Is there anything about this movie that demands a big-screen viewing?

When Sean writes that Maccabee was "one of the most famous Jews responsible for one of the most famous wars in the world," a war "which made Maccabee one of Judaism’s most revered figures, and inspired the holiday of Hanukkah" — it kind of reads automatically to me as snark, because Maccabee's status actually seems…
