Not clear how this is a response to what I said. If you're saying that certain people are more interested in certain things than I am, sure, that goes without saying.

I think he's earned his place in film history, and many of his films are worth watching. Still, he's essentially a B-movie director/producer, who's famous for cranking out movies like sausages: one can usually find a better film to spend one's time on than Corman films.

He was embarrassed by that thing he did 40 years ago. I wonder if someday you'll be embarrassed by what you're saying now.

Another slight detour. Just learned that Angie is, as we speak, a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. So, she's locked in the house, playing the stupid game, and then I guess they just sprang the news on her, and aired her reaction. Oy.

I guess responsible adults read things before signing them, but (as we learn in this doc), they've got us by the balls. If I don't like my cell phone contract (assuming that I can understand what it says!), T Mobile is not going to change it to suit me. All I can do is not sign it, and go somewhere else…but the…

Thanks, I'll check them out (Squirrel Girl seems to be the winner of my little survey). Though I've never heard of 3 of these 6 items. What about classic titles: X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man, Avengers? Are the newfangled versions any good?

Not reboot, then. I meant: shut down a title, start over with #1, call it something slightly different. (It's confusing for dabblers like me.)

I occasionally dip into comics to catch up on characters I liked as a kid, or to read something that everyone's talking about. But with Marvel, they reboot everything so often that it's hard to figure out what's what. Now it seems like there are dozens of new titles, and the old titles have been jettisoned. My…

Hot Coffee made my blood boil (pun sort of intended), because I bought the McD's coffee story as spun in the mass media (McD's was the injured party, not the old lady). Totally backwards, as you learn in the movie. Since I saw the movie, I've noticed how often I'm basically being forced to sign away my rights (can't…

I met him once for two seconds (so "met" is a stretch). I win the "have you ever met anyone famous?" game every time, because no one's cooler than David Bowie.

The first song I learned on guitar was "Ziggy Stardust."

"There is no difference because I say there is no difference…now shut up." That's not an argument…but if you're sick of arguing about this, fine. Me too.

Look, I think you're addressing me as some sort of ally of the MRA or whatever: you sense that I'm "one of them," so you're not really paying attention to what I'm saying, just dismissing me out of hand. I'm not one of them: I barely know anything about them, and what I do know is sickening. My (rather narrow) point…

There's not much difference between a person being born in 1960 or 1961, but you would expect that an author writing about that person would do a bit of research and find out which it was.

If it's true that ROK is anti-MRA (Jesus Christ…), that means that someone failed to do their research, and that should matter, if facts matter. This point has been raised many times and the reaction has been "well, they're all a bunch of shitheads, so what's the difference?" That's depressing. If we don't have our…

I don't understand the point of those links: is it that MRA is bad, and we shouldn't associate Return of Kings (who are good) with them, or the opposite?

That link contains some info on them (and they seem to be complete jackasses), but where did the line I quoted above come from?

I don't know what this means: it's the AV Club, so we shouldn't expect to get any actual information from these articles? Okay.

I know it's fun to laugh at bozos, but let's pause for a second and notice that there's precious little actual content in this news item. Some elementary questions:

I want to upvote this for "stride mother," but don't want to encourage the spammers.
