The one thing I could see coming out of this that’s interesting is the idea that:

I know full well that the final sound is “su”, and that the Japanese language is composed of syllables and not individual sounds. The thing you’re not getting is that in the Tokyo dialect that final -u sound is almost always clipped off to the point it’s virtually inaudible, such as the word “desu” actually sounds…

There is none, the Japanese language doesn’t use that sound at all. When transferring an English language word into their language they approximate it using the sounds and structure of their language, giving such anusing (to an english speaker) terms as “orenji jusu” (orange juice), “gorufu” (golf), and “fack” (the…

This photoshoot and cosplay are very well done, but the images are clearly very dusty as my eyes became red and watering as I looked at them.

I don’t care what official sources claim, she’s Aeris because there’s no bloody “th” sound in Japanese and their own pronounciation of the name is almost completely identical to Aeris with only a clipped -u at the end which is almost imperceptible.

I’d buy that for a dollar!

You’d become a magical girl for KFC, not for the magic powers and opportunity for lesbian hookups? Odd.

You just can’t win, seriously. Being a male in modern society and the dating scene is like walking a minefield without a map. There are no standards or rules to follow, because every woman has a completely different idea it seems and nobody seems to be willing to hammer out a new set of rules now that the feminist…

That’s Zap Brannigan you’re thinking of. Kirk’s horndog aspect has been exaggerated in memory and parody for so long that people think it’s canon but Kirk in TOS was a very by the book captain for the most part. The book he followed, though, was one that gave a HUGE amount of discretion and leeway to Captains on the…

Talk to the Jawas, ask them about a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators. Just look out for ones with busted motivators.

You’re selling this movie short, it’s not nearly as dumb as you seem to think it is. Not even close. Nor is Milius the rabid right-winger you take him for. Clearly, you’re blinded by the violence and adolescent power fantasy to see the deeper things beneath. There are many great lines in the film that are not merely…

I love how this woman inspired people and changed the national culture with such grace, subtlety, and simplicity. First off, she wasn’t a walking talking moral lesson in her dialogue or how the others treated her, in fact quite the opposite it was her mere presence that was so radical. She wasn’t some special…

The good Doctor said it all. Well, this and his quote:

Unless someone actually lives on the premesis and cooks their personal meals in that kitchen, nothing they serve can possibly be “homemade”. Or I suppose someone could make it at their house and bring it in from home, but that’s even less likely. In other words, “homemade” at a restaurant is inherently bullshit.

There, I fixed that for you.

(and yes I know you meant among those still competing aka not retired, but still. Ali, best there ever was, best there ever will be, forever!).

Because kneeling at her altar is one of the great joys of being alive, of course :P

I’ve wanted to kill Cloud over Aeris for years. I’d love the option.

LOL I named him Kermit too. It somehow never occurred to me that probably 90% of everyone did that too. Kinda like naming Barrett “Mr T” in FFVII.

Except Janeway was a hypocritical psychopath teetotaller dry drunk hooked on coffee as her anti-drug, who changed her lofty ideals to whatever was convenient for her at the moment. It’s not Mulgrew’s fault, but the writign on Voyager was a freaking sick joke. I wish the whole concept of “female Starfleet captain”…

Lena can be a real badass, but very very few women who’ve ever lived can match the awesomeness of T2 Linda Hamilton Sarah Connor. Lena herself came close with her role as the hard as nails antagonist in Dredd, though. And I still argue she was in the right. How the hell can the Judges throw people to the wolves 94% of…
