Anime Ruby Rhod made me laugh out loud. Really captures the goofy dynamism of the character.

Well, I may be a minority here, but I liked the midichlorians. I often feel like the Star Wars movies are at their strongest when they stick close to “science fictiony” textures and notions (while still remaining fantasy).

Gonna tell us exactly why, hero?

What you’re not addressing in your comment is that motion smoothing makes movies LOOK different. Specifically, it makes them look like daytime soap opera. That is not a good look.

You sound a little confused (drunk?), and probably would benefit from a little counseling. I’m serious here — not making a dig.

I’m sure that makes sense as a fantasy, but it has a different flavor when you add context to the fantasy: “Who among us would not discount the existence of Ford’s wife as a fellow human being whose life, happiness, and closest relationships were worthy of the same respect we’d expect others to give us?”

I got misty before the ad began. Because it was an ad. Manipulating my emotions.

Right, because individualism is totally not a right wing thing.

So readers who typically enjoy this story behave like you, then?

Aha, so you’re twelve. Medication and a good talk with you guidance counselor can help you with your problems.

The comments here fascinate me. I wasn’t even remotely “grossed out” by the concept. I thought it was amusing and clever. (BTW, I am a straight male.) I mean, yeast is yeast; there’s no *objective* reason to think this is gross. Why not see it as charming and kind of sweet?

I remember being absolutely astounded by the stupidity of reviewers’ responses to Troopers. At one stroke a whole lot of prominent film critics demonstrated publicly that they did not know how to watch a film.

Is Adam Sandler associated with anything pleasant?

Very much agreed.

Fun article. In that top pic the plane looks like such a “Gerry Anderson”-like vehicle.

"It's really not a big deal at all. Routine. In the morning I grab my keys, phone, wallet, and my handgun."

I'm baffled by the assumptions on display in this controversy. No one has to do anything they don't want to do. If person X likes getting Y but doesn't like giving Y (or Z, or A or B or C), then that's what person X likes and doesn't like. There's no direct reciprocal obligation to give "an eye for an eye" (or, I…

The film looks wonderful — but as with everything related to anime, the bad music soundtrack nearly stomps it flat.

Wondering if any lawyers have started considering whether anti-vaxxer behavior meets the legal definition of "depraved indifference."

And yet you seem to be an expert at wasting energy.
