Chewing gum is non-biodegradable because artificial polymers are easier to produce than organic sources, hence gum never rotting away when it’s stuck under tables or on sidewalks or whatever.

I got bullied a lot in middle school. One kid did it because he was trying to make himself look bigger and would harass me on the bus. I ignored him and, when that didn’t work, told him if he really wanted to fight, my stop was coming up. He got off, started a fight and being two fairly non-athletic kids, it was…

Jurassic Park. Independence Day. Shrek.

It’s the same bullshit Spielberg did throughout t he 90s; loads of weird absent father/found family crap that makes me wonder what happened with his dad around 1991 or so.

Fucking Space Jam. It’s shit.

How infuriating do you find it that I once polled Twitter and a significant margin of people said Hocus Pocus (Rotten Tomatoes score: 38%) is a better Halloween movie than The Nightmare Before Christmas (Rotten Tomatoes score: 95%)?

Eight or nine years ago, I was driving to St. Louis for my cousin’s wedding and I got pulled over for driving in the left lane too long. The highway patrolman then wrote a ticket for something else (my plate being partially obscured by a clear plastic cover) instead because “it’s a non-moving violation, so it’ll be…

Vin Diesel is absolutely fantastic in the Iron Giant, too.

My father spent the first 34 years of my life abusing me and I said “fuck it” and cut him out of my life. Except that is apparently not an acceptably thing to do? Now I’m supposed to invite him to Thanksgiving and buy him Christmas gifts?

Then there’s a flashback and you find out she’s the great-great-great-granddaughter of Al Swearengen.

Age of Ultron has its problems, but the fact that I didn’t have to wait an hour and a half until the Avengers were formed, I rank it higher than most. It has its flaws, but the party scene and the ending battle are damn great.

Valentino probably won't but Kirkman will.

HEY-OH

There was an attempt to form a creators union in the early seventies spearheaded by Neal Adams. Marvel and DC formed an unofficial alliance to share page rates and royalty information to derail the formation. Sean Howe’s brilliant Marvel Comics: The Untold Story covers it briefly.

It’s probably my favorite of the series. I love the first twenty minutes or so of Evil Dead 2 more— basically the recap and Ash being tormented before the others show up— but as a whole film, the sheer horror and dread of the original win me over.

A shade under 8,585,000 parsecs.

The thing is that Charlie Cox is a GREAT Matt Murdock.

My blood will boil with you start talking about how terrible meat is for the environment,

A huge part of the problem is Kinja stopped working properly. You can’t see responses to your comments by clicking your notifications (yes, I realize the Alanis Morrissette-ian levels of irony I’m reaching here) without scrolling through every comment. That pretty well smothers any decent chance at conversation in the…

I ended up with two very adorable kittens and they get hours-long zoomies and almost exclusively after midnight. I tend to be up later than my wife and she thought I was exaggerating until she finally witnessed it after two months of having them. Somehow, these tiny beasts are louder than our 70lb dog.
