An an ESL teacher in Japan, I can attest to the unqualified teacher abundance. It doesn't help that a large portion of foreign teachers return home after 1 year. This cycle of bad teachers coming and going just repeats itself every year.

The new subterranean missiles are a success, your excellency!

Don't you see the connections, everything is a conspiracy...don't believe those brands and ice cream flavors.

Must disagree with Vanilla Sky and Quarantine. Vanilla sky was a very good movie on its own. Also, I've watched both Quarantine and Rec and found neither appreciably better than the other. You missed all the forgettable remakes of popular Korean romance films such as Lake House, My Sassy Girl, and also the remake of…

Languages are the same, cultures are not. Few comedies do well in International markets because humor varies by culture even if the language is the same.

What I got was roughly 50 minutes of the most bizarre animation I've ever seen. Pein's face frequently dissolves into some weird…

"The prospect of a darker, Apocalypse Now-influenced Call of Duty game feel a little bit intriguing." So... Spec Ops: The Line? Terrific game.

That's... pretty accurate actually.

Nah. That's real. That's what he had to resort to when you stopped believing in him, you ungrateful little bastard.

The same way Animaniacs got away with it's "Finger Prince" gag?

What the WHAT?!
