People should definitely be angry at crap like this - they are obviously banking on 70% of their box office sales to come from the name “Ghostbusters”. That means they have no incentive to put any money into delivering a descent product. That is why everyone is angry they have made what looks like — and now we know…

Troll on troller!

Don’t forget “The Paper Bag Princess”! Short but charming.

The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse started it all.

Generation X is very happy advertisers have moved on to sink their claws into Generation Y. Generation X is very sad it still has to listen to 60-something boomers poisoning the political discourse with their get-off-my-lawn policy positions.

I take my coffee like my soul: black.

Also because Orphan! the Hero’s Journey and Orphan! can’t have a Hollywood funded film without Orphan! The Only One who can & SAVE THE WORLD!!!! Roll credits. (Actually that is probably too much text to sum up every Hollywood blockbuster since Star Wars.)

I think it really comes down to empathy rather than aggression: do violent video games make you less caring about hurting people or people getting hurt. I think the answer to that is people who already have low empathy will be drawn to violent games (such as the shooter at Sandy Hook), but the games themselves will…

What I have always found scary is that all the tech for making such a killer drone is there and easy to get: human facial recognition is in every camera for focusing, cheap drones are now available that have self-guidance systems, and thanks to the NRA, guns are everywhere. Program your drone to fire every time it…

They should turn every post office into an inexpensive internet access site with terminals, scanning & printing. Solve two problems at once!

I don’t understand why everyone is so shocked that Atticus transforms into a racist in his older life. I see it as a perfectly plausible evolution of the character: a young idealist who as he grows old has his morals poisoned by the politics of his time — basically the same thing that has happened to countless…

Eureka! Archimedes in the bathtub.

I know someone who lives on a housing development that was built next to a farm. Everyone in the community pays a yearly fee to receive produce from the farm. The farmer then uses part of the land to grow the crops that everyone “wants to eat” as you put it. The rest of the land is used for the cash crop (the…

Where are the electric sheep?

Apple’s strength has always been in implementation rather than innovation. They did not invent the mouse, the did not invent the GUI, the did not invent the tablet, the did not invent the smart phone — and we all know that Dick Tracy invented the iWatch — and yet they were able to develop all of these products to a…

But do they save the cat?

I met someone who owns one of these cars about a year ago, and he was fully aware that the VIN had been changed. It seems kind of crazy that the lawyer was able to argue that the cars were legal now even though they had been imported illegally, and even stranger that the government could not prove the age when the…

Anytime a film opens with the young protagonist holding a a big banner reading “I AM NOW AN ORPHAN!!!”, you know the Hero’s journey is about to go horribly wrong.

Can you please do one of these interventions for Maureen Dowd? I think she needs our help, too! She keeps going on about Hillary being too old for President when in fact she and Hillary are pretty much the same age!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has been unable to take my eyes off of Dave’s slow motion train wreck. The most recent one was the kicker: I thought perhaps he had reached a moment of clarity with his talk of “finding a purpose in life” and “grey haired sages”, but then he directed us at the end of the article to go…
