Well NOW I do

Counterpoint: When I saw Spider-Man in 2002, and Peter lets the robber go and tells the wrestling promoter, “I missed the part where that’s my problem,” people in my theater applauded. There’s always going to be people who don’t know the story at all, much less backwards and forwards like we do. (Granted, not nearly…

I had the Ackbar figure from Return of the Jedi, and of all the personalities I invented for the movies’ ancillary characters, his was my favorite: The constantly aggravated boss trying to keep the crazy kids in line. “What the…where’s my coffee? SOOOOO-LOOOOO!”

Guys, come on! Geena Davis, Dana Delany and Sela Ward were all 20 and single in 1976!

Quick Moonraker memory: Watching it on ABC with my dad when I was a child, I laughed at the five-tone keypad Bond uses that echoes the tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. My dad didn't understand why I laughed; I replied that Moonraker got the music from that movie, but my dad was solidly on the side of…

Counterpoint: The NCC-1701-E is the only one of the seven original-timeline Enterprises I have to find online to remember its design because the movies so completely over-corrected from The Motion Picture that we rarely got a good look at it.

I bought mine years ago from Books-A-Million, and it still has the price tag on it. See, their price tags were labeled for inventorying — "6 of 10," "18 of 25," that sort of thing — and my price tag says "1 of 1" because WOW they were not planning on anyone buying that book.

General Hawk even explains at the end why it was such a clever Cobra plan, and how completely Cobra had sized them up:

THIS. One of my friend’s big gripes with the movie was what he called the “quicksand” scene, wondering why Finn didn’t “sink into the quicksand.” I told him that from a story standpoint, Rey had already established that Jakku had random patches of “sinking sand” and the TIE fighter just happened to land in one; from a…

Barbara Bach. Catherine Bach was Daisy Duke.

Melina Kanakaredes as the George Perez version of Scarlet Witch. Nothing against Elizabeth Olsen, but I've fantasy-cast Kanakaredes in the role for at least 15 years.

Honestly, I respected his consistency too; he staked out his position and was willing to defend it. I wholly disagree, but we're still best pals.

I have a friend who shared a cartoon on Facebook in which the ghost of Sam Kinison (?!?) was solidly on the side of “Just say ‘radical Islamic terrorists’! SAY IT!” So I asked my pal, “Then do you also think it would be a good idea if our president, a black man, called the Planned Parenthood shooter a ‘radical white…

The first I’d heard of these comments was on talk radio today, when an Arkansas-based host dismissed Obama’s “one minute of condemning European terror before celebrating Cuban terror,” and then said, “Now let’s hear what a REAL president sounds like.” And he cued up the Cruz quote with no other introduction, and it…

I haven't seen this show in, like, a year, but it seems as though Dr. Thomas Wayne could've been helpful before…let's just say "the incident."

The FUTURE…is in the PAST! Onwards Aoshima!

sees the typo Stark Trek, immediately checks Google, discovers that of COURSE there's already fan fiction with that name

In the 1980s, my town’s public swimming pool had a game room with Crazy Kong. A friend of mine had an Odyssey 2 with K.C. Munchkin. So I truly believe that my childhood perfectly prepared me for the joke about the cheap Nicaraguan Pac-Man knockoff, Circle Eater.

I'll guess the Restaurant Nora in Washington, D.C.
