Excellent points. The same applies to the Nolan Batman movies, as well.

(Why doesn't the comments section want my picture to show up?)

Add me to the lost of folks who though Screw-On Head was awesome and should have been picked up. And Paul Giamatti was the voice of the head!

Sadly not a cryptid, but a cool moth I got a shot of recently. I think it's called a Stained Glass Moth.

Skeptical dog...is skeptical.

Man, I loved this show. Except the one where a mad scientist gave Wonderbug a formula that turned him evil (indicated by him sporting sharp teeth and bushy black eyebrows on his headlights, and making growly noises.) That freaked my eleven-year-old s*** OUT.

Yeah, I remember renting this. Twenty minutes in, I said to myself, "Wow, this is awful. But she's still naked." So yeah, I watched it all.

Great! I'll drive my house-car there.

I think (at least I hope) that what he means by "not a genre film" is that he understands that Neuromancer is actually a classic heist story at heart (mysterious benefactor collects a team to commit a nearly-impossible crime) but with a setting that bends the premise into something that really hadn't been seen before.

With all due respect to Wallace, I tried to read Everything and More and couldn't get through it, simply because he apologizes constantly for oversimplifying the math so that more people can understand it. (The book is part of a series intended to explain scientific concepts in an entertaining way to the layperson, so…

I can certainly attest to the soda part of the story. I cut it out by allowing myself *one* sugared soda a day; the rest had to be diet. Soon I started to forget the sugared soda and found myself drinking diet when I wanted it. Literally only a couple of weeks later, I looked down and noticed that my stomach (where my…

Um. First, can anyone out there show me an example of a "human with wings" character in a live-action TV series or movie that didn't look at least awkward, if not downright ridiculous?

I'm not much of a Microsoft fan, but I gotta say I really like this. Looks like they listened to user complaints about iOS and Honeycomb, which is not a bad place to start.

Hear, hear. That's even worse than "sneak peak," which is becoming so common I'm afraid it will be adopted as an acceptable variation.

I looked into the trap.

It's absolutely crazy how much of what you see actually comes from your brain rather than your eyes. On an episode of the BBC's In Our Time about Perception and the senses, it was stated that the area your eyes actually see clearly is about as large as the full moon. The rest of what you see is augmented by your…

While I'm not really religious myself, I feel bound to point out that this isn't "religion" in general, but a splinter of a fraction of a section of a denomination (etc.).

Tried again and it's working better, except with one caveat: If the browser is in the background when one track ends, the next track won't start. You have to bring the browser to the front, then the playlist will continue.

"Basically, you can play through existing playlists and albums smoothly..."
