To your second-to-last question, my answer would be "probably not that many more." You're always going to occasionally see lawsuits for something like "intellectual idea infringement" or whatever the fuck this lawsuit is supposed to be. Most people—especially most writers, because poor—do not have the money or time to…

And the ratio of crappy self-published books to the ratio of crappy self-published books that anybody actually buys is what, 1:1,000,000,000? Something on that order? You keep bringing up '50 Shades of Gray,' but that book is not indicative of anything. It just so happened to tap into a niche psycho vein at exactly…

Makes it worse by such a small degree that it doesn't matter. Self-publishing isn't pneumonia off a cold. It's having a cold and then accidentally pouring too much cereal into a bowl for breakfast. You aren't going to die. You just throw away the extra Crispix crispixes, pop a few Advil and go watch Price is Right.

What problem? That an isolated book happened to catch fire? There are always going to be shitty books and there's always going to be the occasional one that becomes popular for no real reason. This isn't some growing trend, though. It's very, very difficult to garner any sort of monetary momentum when your book has no…

Given that the dude is suing Whedon, he probably should have asked for $10 billion.

Popular does not equal genius, either.

People here have a hyperbolic hatred of 'Into Darkness.' Scrolling through any conversation about that movie inevitably brings up comments like "It made me want to vomit," "I was visibly angry by the end of it," "I literally cut off my left arm in the middle of the movie and threw it at the screen because one…

For the first time in the history of the show, I uttered the words "OK, that was badass" about something Jon Snow had done. Progress. I'm content with baby steps on the road to a character I might one day marginally care about. We're not there yet, but just keep shooting arrows that are fraught with meaning and who…

They show this show on cable? What is it, like 15 minutes long after edits?

To be fair, they haven't been doing original programming for that long. I'm sure they'll get better at which shows their bidding on (or however the hell things end up Netflix?).

Jeopardy! is not a laughing matter, you monster.

Fuck Alex (the contestant). After that DD pause, it was bad enough. When he gave that annoyed shrug-sigh when Alex (host species) told him he needed to phrase 39 as a Roman Numeral and was thus incorrect, the contestant was dead to me. Dude, the category might have sucked, but it's not like they sprung it on you. You…

'The Lost World' has its issues, but it also has at least three legitimately awesome sequences in the Rex v Trailer, Rex v people running and Raptors v grass. And hey, the T-Rex in San Diego was misguided silliness, but seeing a T-Rex in San Diego is cool in and of itself. It's just unfortunate that the movie around…

Sorry. Context is not allowed on the Internet.

Given how characters have been written in this series, the stereotypes almost all fall along the lines of profession, not gender. Dennis Nedry is a messy overweight computer programmer. Donald Gennaro is a Lawyer with a capital-L. Ian Malcolm is the weird chaos dude, John Hammond is the visionary who can't see the…

Let's all be cereal here: If Jurassic World was an actual park and we could all afford to go to it, we would be there right at this very moment.

Carolyn is just biding her time. We already saw how quickly she turned to vote against Max. Would not be surprised if she ends up being the lynch-pin of the season (even if she doesn't win). She has an idol, she's very calculating, she keeps relatively quiet while still holding grudges and she's shown that she's…

I wouldn't count Joe as an all-around great player. He's great at challenges. We haven't seen him try anything strategic in weeks, though. And tonight's one real moment for strategy (the HI clue that he was going to share with Tyler) turned into a mess because Joe chose to come to Tyler while the dude was sitting…

The key to Survivor is reading the wavelengths of people. I think Shirin tries very hard to do it, but she's mostly unable to. We saw it when she and Max came over to the new tribe. Or in the reward tonight. She has to understand that everybody out there is starving. However much she might want to crash into a tree on…

OK, website, I'll give it to you: I don't agree with every ranking and there are a few glaring omissions, but on the whole, it's a good list with a nice mix of mainstream fare and more obscure stuff.
