I haven't had a chance to look through all the comments, so apologies if this has come up: what a mostly awful list of candidates to choose from. (Kind like most real life elections, so kudos?) Yes, I know the list is entertaining, but oddly enough, that's the last characteristic I'm looking for in a president.
So…

The show mostly featured her recent material — the anthemic pop songs and dance pop she has been making for other performers in the last decade. But I did rather like the version of Sia from Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born. More fun and playful material mixed in with very personal lyrics; lots of…

First I remember reading: The Land Beneath The Ground — a classic Uncle Scrooge story about underground tribes having earthquake contests underneath his money bin.
First I remember buying: Star Wars #13. My dad decided to pass on his love of comics, and took me to a store shortly after Star Wars had come out. From…

No, it's not that bad. Sorry to alarm you. I just found your comment funny, as the after-school crowd had just arrived. Although, to @avclub-5ab17681fcdbd3a59507aa62e5ed5a2d:disqus point below, academic libraries were often more (intellectually) satisfying places to work, I stuck with public because the pay is…

(Currently working librarian staring out at sea of unsupervised children . . . watching my children's librarian set up a craft table.)
"Yep, that checks out."

2nded on A:EMH. It's fun, with short adventures surrounded by long story arcs. Very well done.

Hannibal is one of those rare shows I was happy to pay for. Watched the 1st season on DVD, and then subscribed to the show. Same with Breaking Bad. When people like a show, they find a way to watch it that suits them. Her complaining is a little off to me.

With iconic boom box, movable risers, and lamp. Plus a mini-fig of Byrne in the big suit.

I really enjoyed the first (3) issue(s- I picked up the three weekly ones when they were sold as one a while back) and would love to keep going, but I really don't like the weekly distribution model. Weekly issues just add up to so much teasing — short snippets of story, followed by waiting - even if the cost and the…

I can't really speak about the qualities of the screenwriter, but a lot of folks here seem to be upset about JGL portraying Morpheus. I don't particularly understand this as conceptually, Morpheus has always looked different throughout the whole series. He can appear anyway he wishes, more or less, and typically…

No, sorry. No gills. I was doing more "Kenneth-as-Leap Day William", (like a fake Santa, so extra fake) asking kids to cry. I couldn't solve the gills, anyway, and it's not like most of the people I interacted with knew what the hell was going on.
But my suit, hat, bowtie, and vest were tight, and the candy was…

I dressed up as Leap Dave Williams at my library, and made children "cry" for candy; posted their pictures on to our library page; served hot cocoa and cookies to people who checked out books or movies; and taught the after-school crowd how to play Live Action Angry Birds with solo cups; rulers; paper plates; little…

I realize that the decision to delay the onset of the relationship between Gus & Mickey is purposeful, and that the show is letting us spend time with both of them in their lives, getting to know what their respective worlds are like, before they really start dating. But — apart from learning that they "are not good…

The main trick in LEGO games — building useful stuff out of junk/broken bricks — totally works with the Mad Max world. This must happen!
Though I imagine it would annoy the folks who hated the children at the end of Beyond Thunderdome.

If you mean the Avengers one: mostly obvious. Manhattan — definitely, but I was kind of expecting it, based on the previous Marvel game. The "Go To Space" was less intuitive, but I took a leap of faith — I was actively looking for the Free-Roam areas; the "Space" label reminded me of LEGO Batman 3; it was in the…

The first LEGO Marvel game — Superheroes, not Avengers — was really well done. Creative game play — not just ripping off the movies for plot, cutscenes, and sounds (like the Avengers one.) By the end, you band up with bad guys to fight off a giant sized Galactus. Dozens of characters to play with — including a mini…

One of the reasons I liked it was the large variety of venues and characters, and I think the focus on the Justice League, and their satellite/spaceships made that possible. (Plus, it has LEGO Braniac's spaceship/brain. Very cool.)
Going to other planets for missions and free play. (Granted, the free play was…

Very much agree. It sounds like she's stopped trying to be herself, and is much more comfortable churning out sellable "hits" based on a formula.
Maybe being herself hurt too much? Either way, I rather miss old Sia.

Probably a dead thread now, but I did finish BHo7K, and I can say that it was worth it. For one, the pacing slowed down, as there were fewer living characters to follow, and the amount of violence lessened accordingly. (Though, as always, it was brutal and disturbing, even when varied, as per…

This is odd — I too am about half through BHoSK. (It's our book club pick this month at my library.)
So far, though, although I find the writing excellent, and I am still interested to see where this is all going, I feel like I need a (mental) shower after each reading session. With the possible exception of…
