Um ... spoiler alert.

Thanks for that! I don't want to merely sit this movie out. I want to send an active, measurable message to Mr. Card and the studio.

I'm going to see this in the theater, but I'm going to buy a ticket to another movie and sneak into this one. If enough people do it this way, and the same not-actually-seen movie is picked, we could have a legal and measurable protest on our hands. I'll also offset Card's bigotry by donating to a pro-equality…

That's because the 1701-D doesn't have WiFi.

This is a sweet ass bus too. Saw it in Cleveland last year.

I had a girlfriend who used a variation on this. If I told her that she tended to be unfairly harsh, she would demand that I give her concrete examples. She would take that example apart, convince me that I deserved what was coming to me, then ask for another example.

A Dune remake would be a tough sell because the original book was a thinly-veiled allegory for the oil industry with the houses of the Landsraad standing in for OPEC. The Fremen are too closely aligned with Islamic jihadists set on ejecting outside interests from the Middle East.

Star Trek Into Darkness: The Enterprise leaves the orbit of Qo'onos with the U.S.S. Vengeance in hot pursuit. There is continuous action, nothing to indicate the passage of time. Then, out of nowhere, the Vengeance appears, firing upon the Enterprise, and knocking it out of warp ...

When billions of your cells are ruptured as a result of radiation poisoning, I wouldn't call that "normal condition." Death almost always happens as a result of irreparable bodily trauma, though sometimes it's at the microscopic level where it's not readily apparent.

Ships can warp you from Klingon to Earth in a matter of minutes but transporters are even faster. Star Trek tech has really come a long way since the sixties.

Ah. CBS.

Sawyer and Juliette. Sigh ...

Okay, spoiler alert.

He was so very filthy in the Aristocrats. It was my first inkling if Saget's dark side and it was so very delightful.

Or Chevy Chase.

I'm? BATMAN!!!!! (damnit...)

CBS? Hmmm ....

Oh yeah! That's the channel where Dad and I used to watch Matlock.

Ya, right? It was Hills that first brought up the Jeremiah Wright stuff to rattle the blue collar voters in the Rust Belt. Oh, and Bill Ayers, the terrorist that Obama was "pallin' around with." You didn't make that, Sarah Palin. That was Hills too.

Stuff used to be spelled a lot better around here before Kinja. It plays havoc with my iPhone's autocorrect.

I like the Heap version too. I first heard it on World Café as part if an in studio interview. She explained that she was performing it live on the spot and the immediacy of it was absolutely mesmerizing. I imagine the choral version is amazing live. It's the facial expressions, the precise pronunciation, the echoes…
