You were hoping, perhaps, for "Trolly Mctrollenberg: The Trollening"?

"The Purge" sounds utterly retarded.

I don't think sharks (and maybe alligators) have changed meaningfully in 100 million years or so.

This is a show in which a single fight between 2 guys would often span multiple episodes.

Until an asteroid the size of Texas strikes and wipes out 95% of all life on earth. Then we might wish we'd developed the tech to have sustainable self-contained biospheres, not to mention an offshoot of humanity that's not located on Earth.

In response to many other comments in re: Hans Christian Andersen... seriously, what the hell was wrong with that guy? And why has his work become classic? It's, like, the worst set of children's stories since Gremlins (OK, worst set BEFORE Gremlins, but you get the idea.)

OK, but doesn't this just go to prove that the Bible is not a reliable source? If it was written down by humans, filtered through the (limited) capability of relatively primitive humans to comprehend or even imagine outlandish and cosmic things, doesn't that inherently render the bible unreliable?

I agree completely. People hate on it because they've become so accustomed to the flaws of the existing norm, but higher FPS means less motion blur (so clearer, sharper images). less flicker, and less jerky movement. All of this is especially true for 3D (which, at 24 FPS, means each eye gets only 12 FPS, resulting…

There is no back side—it's a sphere. Matter rains down onto it so fast that, as the matter (or light) approaches the sphere, it's more or less at the speed of light—thus, not even light can escape the sphere. (Also spacetime is warped so severely that the normal rules of everyday physics don't apply anymore.)

I dunno... I love almost everything Joss has done (excepting the original Buffy movie, the Alien fiasco, and a goodly chunk of Dollhouse) but I just don't think he's got the right tone for Star Wars. At least not the "main" plot... spinoffs, OK maybe.

In all seriousness, this is Superman we're talking about here. He's only in those cuffs because he wants to be—he believes in due process and will cooperate with the full extend of the law. Because that's the kind of guy he is.

Um... I don't. It's just trading one type of fake-looking for another type of fake-looking. Except that the CG version can have much better ancillary effects (weapons fire, explosions, auroras, whatever.)

It's pure speculation and "gut feeling" but my overall feeling is that life beginning might be rare, but anywhere that it had a chance to get a decent foothold (even just at the microbial level) there will still be microbial life somewhere in the planet's crust—in water, subsurface, whatever.

Mercury's crazy variance is due to the almost complete lack of an atmosphere. I expect that some heat transfer happens through the crust (Absolute Zero is -473* F, I believe, so -370 means that actually on average about 100* worth of heat is being spread around through Mercury's crust, I guess.), but on Earth most…

I loved the lip-licking—because it was so distinctive, and so weird, and so suggestive of a snake in human form (and all the implications and mythological baggage that entails).

And clearly your single, personal experience is the absolute 100% reliable indicator for humankind as a whole. Also, clearly actual documentation of medical problems from quack remedies has no sway on you, because your tin foil hat blocks all attempts at logic or reason.

It does rather sound like something that we'd see on Venture Brothers.

I realize you're probably just joking 100%, but this does get at a personal beef of mine: I wish people would stop trying to "humanize" groups or species that were specifically created to be an unambiguously evil force that can be slaughtered with abandon.

"and yet, they won't recognize a situation where they simply have no data, one way or the other."

Reading many of the other responses, I'm just reinforced in my belief that people who bitch incessantly about CG don't even necessarily recognize it when they see it.
