My six-year-old during my rubberneck viewing of BvS: "He looks like Abomination." Yes he does son, yes he does. Though I think he looks even more like the cave troll in Lord of the Rings.

The real Rudy has a reputation for being a self-promoting bullshit artist.

By virtually any legal or moral standard, what he did wasn't murder. You are allowed to use lethal force to defend yourself or others. An entire family on the verge of being incinerated fits that bill. I really don't get why that scene was a big deal. I mean, I know he's not known for killing bad guys, so it had some…

So true. Trump had to run a burning gauntlet to get the nomination. Clinton was all but anointed, despite being a terrible candidate, terrible if you want to win. But for Trump, she would have had the highest negative ratings in history. And she already had a loss under her belt, one where she started with all of the…

God that was a great sketch. "Eleanor Gee I Think You're Swell-inor!"

"Patty Patty Buke Buke!"

Can we dispense with the mythology that has built up around the effects in Jurassic Park and CG in general?

It wasn't the initial question that was dumb. It was that the answer was given, was not difficult to grasp, and not only did he not get it, he kept repeating his incorrect guess.

This reminds me of a thick student that was in an art appreciation class I took. We were looking at an old painting of a suit of armor. He raised his hand and said, "Question." He always made sure to say "question" before he asked a question. "Question. How did the artist get the shiny, reflective effect on the armor."

Lethal Weapon did what so few action movies bother with: made you give a damn about the protagonists. And it did it with incredible efficiency. Also thank you so much for mentioning Extreme Prejudice. It's just goddamned fantastic. Great John Milius dialog, great performances, and fantastic action. The opening scene…

Definitely not new, possibly regional.

Thanks for that. Good lord that woman's pitch was high. Makes old school Geddy Lee sound like James Earl Jones.

Given that Canada has almost five million fewer people than California alone, I'd say they've done pretty damn good.

What are you talking about? The NRA, odious as they are, had not a damned thing to do with this.

That theater was posted.

You gave me an absurd, idiotic answer and I replied in kind.

Ok, you're either missing my point or refusing to acknowledge it. Agree to disagree.

What does that have to do with anything? You want to ban a vaguely defined group of weapons despite them being used in a tiny fraction of all gun murders.

42 bullets a minute? Anyone with a functional finger can fire a lot more than that with a plain old handgun. The previous worst mass shooting in U.S. history was committed with two small handguns. And so called assault weapons account for less than 3% of all gun homicides. More people are beaten and kicked to death.

Yes, that's what it means.
