The fact that it's a joke doesn't make it any less douchey.

Yep, back in June of 1978 Captain America #222 featured the Captain being attacked by a purple Volkswagen Beetle.

Sorry, but the brain is not a Turing machine, and approaching AI from that perspective will never work. It is not our logical capabilities that make us intelligent (or at least that is only a small part of it); it is our ability to make sweeping—but often irrational—decisions based on past experiences in a relatively…

Make it happen!

Clearly fake. The designs are far too modern to date from that period . . . for starters.

Yeah, del Toro does horror with kids well, so I expect this film to be great. Still, I am trying not to overhype it in my head. But that's always a problem with del Toro's stuff. The man is just scary-good at what he does.

Oh, destroying the pleasure centers of the brain? What could go wrong? :-S

I like the web (for now), but I have to agree with him, at least to some extent. Silly liberal that I am, I have always thought that giving the average person a media forum to express themselves to a lot of other people in the way journalists and other media folk can express themselves to a lot of other people would…

Oh man, I want one! Only problem is, I couldn't flush him down the toilet when he got too big.

19 out of 22 correct, and I don't even listen to this music. :)

Okay, this is actually a side note here, but, while Lolita is an excellent novel for a lot of reasons, I would hardly call it anywhere near the best love story of the 20th century, and I don't even agree with the people here who think there was no love story there, or that such intergenerational love stories are…

Damn straight! Er, no pun intended.

Wow! That video brought tears to my eyes! One of my favorite Bradbury stories. I love that the original Al Parker-illustrated magazine version is referenced in this song—it was called "The World the Children Made" before it became "The Veldt." Thanks for sharing!

Yep, that's definitely the film. I can't remember why exactly that drone attack scene keeps haunting me. Were their kids in the prince's car too? I just remember it being a pretty disturbing thing, and the fact that we are sort of distanced from it actually made it more disturbing rather than less disturbing, as…

So Tarsem made Mirror Mirror? Well, now I'm glad I didn't see it, because I probably would've lost a lot of respect for him, which is still riding fairly high after the one-two punch of The Fall and Immortals. The Fall is still in my top ten fantasy films of all time list.

Agreed. I think TDKR managed something that was almost impossible: tying together not one but both of the earlier films in a meaningful way that didn't feel forced, and yet also managing to stand on its own as a genuinely decent action flick. And despite Bane's voice issues and the fact that you never really see his…

Is that the one where the car is bombed at the end and you see it from the bird's-eye view? That scene has haunted me ever since I saw the film (if that's the one I'm thinking of). It almost feels like something that happened in a dream, but yet I know I saw it in a movie. You ever have those?

Gah! Anytime someone starts an article with "Stop what you're doing" my brain immediately kicks into "Cuz I'm about to ruin . . . the image and the style that you're used to." Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am a nineties kid.

I think my favorite of these batches is actually Queen Margrethe's. First off, black & white works well for these stories because they deal with very elemental concepts of good and evil. Of course, as I am a black & white illustrator myself, I confess I am a little biased there. I also like the slightly woodblock-y…

So this is real? Dang, I always thought this was some mythical internet Photoshopped porn thing. Well, I know iguanas actually evolved two penises (peni?), so there are weirder things in the natural world.
