I honestly don't think you're winning the argument by suggesting that the US is a horrible place because its citizens celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden.

My ex-husband was a man. So right there, just awful.

Dammit. That's the one I was coming to post myself. But I totally agree: if there's one Batman property that doesn't invite a direct a comparison with both the Burton and Nolan franchises, it's Gotham by Gaslight. 1890s industrialist Bruce Wayne in a Victorian Gotham with steampunk technology has the potential to…

Oh I grew up in South Carolina and Texas, and even I am not immune to immediately judging someone's intelligence based on the twang that comes out of their mouth.

Echols always struck me as being exceedingly intelligent, thoughtful, and well-spoken. It's been a while since I've seen the first two documentaries and haven't seen the third yet, but my recollection is that the other two don't come off as well, especially Misskelley, who (again my recollection is imperfect) does…

Gizmodo excels at finding really awesome products that 1) only exist as prototypes, 2) are prohibitively expensive, 3) are only for sale in certain markets or through actual store fronts, 4) are only a part of a designer's website, or 5) don't actually exist at all except as Kickstarter concepts or 3D models.

I'd rather die alone than with someone else. Dying alone at least guarantees I don't die in a plane crash or get murdered.

This is one of the sweetest, kindest, most moving comments I have ever seen on io9. And keep in mind: I'm cynical. Very nicely done.

Getting married was the stupidest thing I ever did. If there'd been a handgun in the house, one of us would have been dead.

My problem with Falling Skies is summed up in one of the early episodes of the first season. All of the resistance fighters are gathered up on a rooftop to spy on the aliens, when... one of them accidentally knocks of a roofing tile, alerting the aliens to their presence!

How is 98% "near perfect"? By math, is how. 98% perfect, by definition, is near perfect.

As a lover of 3 day long concert festivals, I am seriously considering this. I just wish it had the weight listed, as I'm not dragging around a 50 lb couch all day long.

I think Jesus would count as a historical figure (which he was, whether or not one accepts his divinity, the evidence seems to indicate he was a real person).

Yeap, and now I have large breasted Asian girls in my internet cache.

Agreed. I love "Ghost World," but it wouldn't make sense on a list with costumed vigilantes.

I'm hopeful that "The Wolverine" next year (or is it 2014 now?) will be the X-Men/Wolverine movie I've been waiting my whole life to see. That being said, I think Hugh Jackman's portayal of Wolverine, despite the flaws in the film itself, would rank very near the top of my best comic book portayals of all time, maybe…

Just a rule of thumb for me, but when compiling "Best of All Time Lists" I'm inclined to leave off movies that are too recent to fully appreciate their impact, context, and re-watchability. Much like I'd never list an episode of "Community" from six months ago as "The Best Sitcom Episode of All Time" I also probably…

Thread on Facebook means: about 25% of people will point out that they don't have a Facebook and are therefore superior.

Oh God. Gawker made me log into facebook so I could log into Gawker to comment on this article. I'm so mad I could cover up the death of one of my fellow cadets!

Agreed. She seems to be friendly with ice age creatures in the trailer, what little we actually see of them.
