“the professor who every year dates a first-year grad student and manages to send her reputation, not his, into the mud.”

Agreed. Best source material, and the closest to being a decent adaptation. But also gonna agree with Spy Smasher, I don’t think Ender’s Game was a YA book. It was written for military guys, and it became a cult classic in veterans’ circles long before it went big in the sci-fi world (if memory serves).

Batman as portrayed in Batman: The Animated Series will always be the Batman of my heart. The whole tone of the show is sufficiently serious enough for a tale about a man whose parents are murdered in front of him when he was a child. Yet he is capable of humor, humanity, empathy.

Maybe if women didn’t make it such a habit of laughing at men, they wouldn’t get killed so much.

“Both of them were unremarkable, unless you want to hear about young conservatives groping each other in a crowded bar, which you probably don’t.”

I would pay good money to see an R-rated ‘Animaniacs’ or ‘Freakazoid!’ movie with Kate Upton as the Hello Nurse.

MAKE TIME GO FASTER.
