I'm going to say this with no snark whatsoever - but you're an awesome involved parent. Wish there were a lot more like you in the 'verse. And I hope I didn't come across as trolling for a fight, because I'm genuinely interested in how you draw up a curriculum that (I hope) will contain plenty of things that will be…

And I guess you could run a black line through the fifty odd uses of the word "nigger" in To Kill A Mockingbird, but I think it might be a more educational exercise to place the profanity in context and perhaps even ask students if it actually adds anything to their experience. Contrary to popular opinion, children…

There is so, SO much literature out there that is decent and honorable, and teaches character and truth and justice for her to read that I wonder why she should waste her time on something that shows the baseness of human character?

Nope - it's not the Kiwi equivalent of a Texas twang or Cockney, but it's still there. Funny thing is if I had to label the accent Karl uses in a lot of his American work it's deliberately 'mid-Atlantic' and hard to place. (Though, IIRC, he did work with a dialect coach to create a reasonable approximation of…

Perhaps Iron Man 3 is going to make our eyes bleed out of their sockets?

But they've never made anything as bad as X-Men 3 or Spider-Man 3.

Ah, park her in a kennel. Didn't do Tommy Mickens any harm. Oh, wait... he's not only a total fuck-up. He's a dead fuck-up.

Grandma gets an A+ in parenting.

is back yet no one thinks to get a Wiccan group together?

I finally figured out why shifters are the supernatural equivalent of white trash despised by all. Sam is the most interesting shifter character in the show, and I still lapse into a coma AND try to gouge my eyes out in my sleep every time he gets a storyline.

Added an update... however, the more I think about it, the more I think there's a lot of posturing going on, in both the Variety and Deadline articles.

You mean the show that's about the survivors of the near total genocide of the human race running for their lives in a rag-tag fleet pursued by murderous androids determined to finish the job? In my opinion, it's a miracle the show wasn't as depressing as it could have been with a premise like that.

Even considering the missteps of Superman Returns, he's done some great work, not sure why he would devote all this energy to what is essentially a "me too" remake.

Usually when I hear an actor talk about approaching a comic book role, I quickly become disgusted at the psuedo-intellectual posturing intended to justify their interest in the part.

I'll grant the point, but hell... it's his name on the masthead and he does love going on about the evil intellectually and morally bankrupt liberals who don't believe in personal responsibility or property rights. If I'm paying a non-trivial amount to subscribe to a magazine/newsletter, I'd like to think part of…

I'll say this one last time.

I got the "oh, I hate Steven Moffat with the heat of a billion suns" part. Is there an English translation of the rest in the works?

Gathered that - just thought 'Gay Pride' was an... odd turn of phrase.

It's just that Doctor Who trailers are always full of outrageous visuals

And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Hell, nobody remembered a giant steampunk Cyberman Godzilla-ing London on Christmas Day, 1851 in The Next Doctor and nobody has even tried to explain that away. I know Moffat raised a lot of hackles by saying "timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly stuff" pretty much does the job in a…
