Kala. Tarzan's foster-ape was Kala, wasn't she?

Damn. I was really looking for some Jasper Sitwell here.

I take your point, although I share AstroKid's observation that your definition of "racism" isn't universally accepted. Still, even if we used yours, I think the OP is a racist remark.

"Emergency space walk." Are there any cooler or more exciting words in the English language?

Seriously, I hope everybody up there is and remains safe as they live out the childhood dreams of a generation.

No, not just you. This fascinates me. They did all that with slide rules, pencils, and a huge firecracker under their seats.

Next you'll be trying to tell us that Red Sonja's armored bikini doesn't work. But I say it works perfectly.

Okay, I'm gonna come out and admit it: that "can't tell pate from dog food" thing gives me flashbacks to an unfortunate incident in early childhood. Oh, I could tell ... after the fact.

Sure it is. It's just that they're Chinese politicians.

I'm just gonna say it: I liked the second Ghost Rider movie. Not loved, but liked. And I give Nic Cage some fanboy props for trying as hard as he does to become a movie superhero, even at the cost of his career.

I've never considered the survival of the human race to be the main concern when we talk about mass extinction. The real question is (putting this in technical terms) how hard the post-ME world will suck.

Key word here is "surprise."

John Noble as ANYTHING. Period.

My first answer was "big guns." Then I realized that was the Defiant. Sorry — I'm turning in my com badge on the way out.

Is there a Rob Liefeld? I don't see pouches.

Hah. I'll bet he wanted Wanda and Pietro, but there was an argument about rights so the studio is making him substitute Northstar and Aurora.

I'm gonna be brave here, and admit the truth: I'm okay with this. I know, it makes me look like a sexist Neanderthal, but ... dammit, the boob window is iconic, like the big red "S" or the hard-to-draw spider webbing. Take it away, you lose something.

IAs somebody who performs weddings pretty routinely — that avatar's a real headshot, yes, I am a cartoon — I see this sort of craziness once in a while. Fortunately, only once in a while. People, typically women but not by any means always the brides themselves, get some mental image of "a perfect wedding," and then…

It's a great idea. And I want to put in a good word for my small-town elementary school, circa 1969-75. They didn't make us read the stuff, exactly, but the library had a remarkably good collection. By the time a well-meaning third grade teacher read "A Wrinkle in Time" to my class, a couple of us had already been…

Wow, redesign is right. I could barely recognize Superman.

But seriously, these are cool, and as far as I'm concerned, almost any change improves Wonder Woman's costume, especially the high-cut-shorts version.
