Wait a second, is the woman with Groucho Marx supposed to be... Harpy Marx?!

Funny because it's true, etc. I have so much food stored in my home that's not worth carrying around for the Health nor selling for the gold. (42 carrots at zero gold each is still zero gold.) I also have a ton of valuable stuff that I can't sell fast enough due to merchants' limited funds, and that's even assuming I…
Get the thane position and home in Solitude. Your housecarl, Jordis the Sword Maiden, is just like Lydia but without the sarcasm. (Though I miss the sarcasm.)
I've been a supporter of this show but I thought this was a disappointing ending to the season/series. In addition to everything CJA says about the poor character development, which I agree with, I thought the whole mystery aspect was handled in an anticlimactic fashion. I think the mystery of "what's behind the door"…
My favorite part of the chase was the green VW showing up repeatedly, just as in Bullitt. The sad part is that I've never seen Bullitt, and only knew about the green VW thanks to Futurama's homage to the Bullitt chase, in the episode when Bender becomes a folk singer and goes on tour with Beck.
I was going to say "But the chase also featured a Dodge!" and then I realized that was the car that flipped over and exploded.
Yes, I can't imagine that anyone who has seen both movies could actually believe that the Hunger Games was a rip-off of Battle Royale. It would be like calling the Iron Man movie a rip-off of the Superman movie since they're both about guys flying around battling bad guys and trying to get with ladies they work with.…
Yeah, this ad was indistinguishable from a parody of Japanese ads. Crazy.
Dammit, now I have a new fetish.
This reminds me of Larry Niven's Hugo-winning short story "The Hole Man," in which (spoiler for a story 37 years old) a guy on Mars uses a minuscule black hole as a murder weapon. Unfortunately, the black hole falls to the center of the planet, and will probably eat it all up.
I disagree with this article. The Hunger Games only fits these tropes if you take a superficial or simplistic reading of the film. Here's the tl;dr of what I'm about to write: Tim Grierson is accusing the Hunger Games of being unoriginal, but only because he's ignoring what makes it original.
Every time he does VO work, as in Monsters vs Aliens or the Simpsons, I always think he's John DiMaggio.
My favorite part of this episode was the return of the drilling machine from the episode with the Observer's first overt appearance... I think it was episode four?
When the iPhone and iPad got Retina Displays, the resolution doubled, but that was only used to make everything look crisper, not to have extra screen real estate. Put it this way: if you have a computer that's running it's display at 1024x768, and you change your settings so that the display is running at 2048x1536,…
It's interesting how all the commenters are all over the place on this show. I think that's because it at least tried to do something different from the usual TV fare, and whether you thought it succeeded or failed or both, you at least had a reaction. For my part, I didn't like the first couple of shows, thought it…
A tangent relative to your example, though not the larger thread: I have both a PS3 and a 360. Any non-exclusive I wind up playing on the 360. The PS3 I mostly use for blu-ray, Netflix, Hulu Plus, PS2 games, and even PS1 games— The number of PS3 games I've played on it (besides demos) I can count on one hand! It's…
It kept them from leaving so it could kill them!
Considering that your paragraph started "Anyway, Android phones are totally superior," I think it is a perfectly sensible reading to think you were talking about Android phones in the rest of the paragraph.
There's a very simple reason why the next iPhone will not have a 4.6 inch display.
Native flashlights are your measure of superiority? Also: The iPhone 4 came out in 2010. So your Android phone had a native flashlight in 2006, when the first version of Android came out in November 2007?
