Its definitely a heavy show, no light hearted moments or anything, but I liked it a lot. Don't expect almost any levity, but I thought it was great. Almost one of those shows/movies that you have to be in the right mood to watch. I would at least watch through the episode that was completely focused on Christopher…

I foresee a touch of vivisection in Whitehall's future.

I think, in his twisted brain, he's on Skye's side, whether she likes it or not.

Joker is insane, but at least he's competent and accomplishes his objectives.

I am personally very fond of Flowers for Algernon. Though it's technically a short story, I feel it deserves to be at least mentioned.

It is, I believe, a mistake to think that comics readers have any real effect on how well the movies do. Even a popular comic these days struggles to sell more than 50,000 copies while the movies bring millions of people to the theater. The TV show may not be burning up the charts, but it still has viewership in the…

The Fifties. Today it's usually depicted as a light-hearted time of rock and roll, tail fins, and poodle skirts. That all happened of course, but it's a rose-colored view of the decade. The Fifties in America was indeed a great time to be a white male; the economy was booming and good jobs were plentiful. And indeed…

YES! This is my answer too! In San Antonio, a holiday is not complete without tamales. And agreed that you better order those suckers in advance or you will be woefully stuck out. It's bliss to have someone in-house who can make them from scratch though.

As part of our Christmas in South Texas, we have TAMALES:

I first saw the Jurassic Park when I was ~six and sure I might have been a bit scared watching it the first time, but I was also fascinated beyond my limited child's understanding... Well a long story short. Currently I am studying in a university to become (hopefully) a biologist to work in genetic research. That…

""This sort of dividing line only matters to people who want to know if your SF is "hard enough" for them. "The next time someone asks me if I write hard SF, I'll say I keep a box of little blue pills on my desk just so I can keep it hard enough for them," she adds."

Anyone who doubts his efficacy as Randall Flagg need only watch that movie.

I remember that being an issue when the first movie came out and then they compared movie watching habits with those of children in Britain. British parents tend to shelter their children much less (Doctor Who is a great example of a kids show that still can unsettle adults) and it seems to be working out much better…

I saw the first movie when I was 8. I may have closed my eyes and screamed for a good portion of the movie (the dilophosaurus, for some reason, freaked me out until I was 10) but there is NOTHING that will compare to seeing the brachiosaur or the triceratops, or the T-Rex on screen, in a theatre, for the first time.

Oh this is an early, early trailer. No way that stuff is final.

The music in that scene was temporary, most likely will be replaced by a jammin' version of a Jackson 5 song.

Wow, there are a whole bunch of miserable bastards in this comments section. I think it looks cool because I don't take myself that seriously.

Vulture shit is the most disgusting thing in the whole world. I was driving in the country one summer and we startled a couple vultures that were eating a dead animal by the side of the road. They were flying low directly in front of the car and we all marveled at how gracefully they flew. Then one of them let rip a…
