I'm still actively praying for a mindswap episode in my favorite show. These two characters, specifically.

Yeee! Darth Sectivore here is creepier than Jabba.

Don't you mean...Darth Tentional? (See also: Darth Sipid; Darth Corrigible. Darth Travenous is the subject of heated and occasionally violent debate.)

Torn. STIII isn't really that good overall. It has a lot of clunker dialog (poor Robin Curtis gets the worst intro line to try to deliver for her character), they cheat the special effects to make the Klingon ship look huge until we suddenly find out it's not very big at all, and the Genesis Effect Matrix Field Aging

You guys are deliberately trying to make me go all full-body Lady MacBeth out-out-damned-spot, aren't you?

Kevin McCarthy's horrified reaction here is my all-time favorite.

As a Brony, it breaks my heart to learn that Tara Strong is playing Penny and DHX is producing the show. You'll no doubt be delighted to hear that Brain is now called "The Brain," because apparently they watched the wrong cartoon while developing this. Oh, and MAD Cat has been replaced by a female cat that Claw dotes

the only A.A. Milne-meets-Kubrick mash-up we will ever need

*waits for reports of halfwits hospitalizing their children with force-fed diets of chicken liver and bone broth because Jezebel article told them not to, and that's just what the Lizard People of Big Science want*

Gigantor, the Space-Age Robot, is at your command! Gigantor, the Space-Age Robot! His power is in your hand! So I hope you washed it!

He programmed himself to grow big...somehow! That's quite impressive! (Then he gave it all up to be the manservant of two bachelors and their adopted son, which was progressive in a different fashion.)

There are two websites I don't understand WHY people still use: deviantArt and YouTube. There are so many alternatives! It's like banking with BoA, then acting surprised when they rob you blind.

In any discussion there's always at least one slobbering prick who shows up to proclaim to the world: Behold, Ye Peasants, I Am Unimpressed. Ironically, he thinks that this makes him impressive, that everyone either swoons at the thought of his touch or grinds their teeth in bitter jealousy. In reality, we're either

Chris Columbus and Adam Sandler. Ha ha ha, NO. I'll watch some crap movies, but I have my limits.

Asari Yoshitoh's Space Family Carl Vinson is a delightful (and unfortunately, never officially translated into English) manga about a diverse group of alien misfits who find an orphan human baby and decide to settle down on a weird planet and be her family. Among the native fauna of this planet are "worms," which

The serial is pretty funny. It's readily apparent that they took some standard "G-men vs the Mad Scientist" script (think The Phantom Creeps) and pencilled in "D.A. Gardner changes into his Captain America disguise and" twice per episode. The suit doesn't fit, and The Scarab (the fantastic Lionel Atwill!) bamboozles

To all the people who flipped their s__t over Michael Clark Duncan playing Kingpin, please note that in this movie Kingpin was played by John Ryhs-Davies—that's right, Gimli. (He also voiced Thor in an episode of the '90s Incredible Hulk cartoon.)
