No they were the poison the wells of knowledge spinny skirts.  The nuclear missile launchers came with the thigh high boots and the flowery hat.

I cut my f’n finger on an English Muffin, then went to the Dr. a couple hours later... that alcohol hand spooge stuff on the wall, didn’t see it coming.

I think they still look like a complete douche, but downgraded to one I’d just scoff at instead of want to punch.

Even a broken comic nerd is right twice a day.

Now now, Avatar steals from a lot more stuff than just Tarzan and Dances with Wolves. Google “Call me Joe” some time.

I’m going to have to take your word for it. That movie was like a temporary lobotomy. Pretty, though.

Look just because you don’t remember Jack Skully doesn’t mean you don’t write Jack Skully/Spock slashfic.

That’s kind of like Cameron denying Avatar’s lack of cultural impact, without disputing that no one remembers the names of any of the characters or what exactly the plot was.

It is so hard to find good alfredo. Somehow, pasta is everywhere, but most of it is really mediocre...

One deals with conservatives who say or do prejudicial things, and the public backlash is various forms of, “I judge, disavow, and reject your inhuman beliefs/actions and will not support you until you change.” Typically celebrities, but also people caught on camera being…

Hi ‘Mr Late To The Conversation’ here

I’d say stuff like Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games are equally to blame, as those adaptations also introduced the “least milk this for all we’ve got” practice of splitting the last book into two films.

Oh, I remember that.  I was fourteen when it came out.  I remember watching Sean Bean grope his chopper and thinking “yeah, I’d like some of that, thanking you.”

I literally just finished re-watching Megamind for the first time probably since it came out - I remember liking it then as a more adult-oriented CGI flick (not necessarily just a kids flick with secret boner jokes laced throughout), and I think it still holds up in that regard. I get why it didn’t maybe leave a…

Their argument goes: there’s only a limited amount of money in Hollywood, and roughly the same amount of movies are being made and released as ever there was
