Btw, I was referring to the Zooey Deschanel show actually called "New Girl" where she is this fluffy, adorkable, hipstery critter.

Oh, right. I keep forgetting not everyone automatically applies the Chris Traeger inflection when they hear/see the word "literally." XD

.... it's LITERALLY The New Girl on Doctor Who....

What event is the Wolverine one from?

Seriously where the fsck is the bluray—and more importantly, ANAMORPHIC— remaster of The Abyss? I'd much rather have that than Titanic 3D. The only Abyss DVD is letterboxed for 4:3 TVs. It looks awful on a big HDTV.

"The matrix formed in a day, the lifeforms grew later at a substantially accelerated rate."

The show also has one of the best theme songs ever, which was in fact nominated for an Emmy but lost to W.G. Snuffy Walden's iconic fanfare for "The West Wing."

Cook's Illustrated actually covered this same method an issue or two ago and they compared blending it with pouring it back and forth several times between two pitchers. They concluded that the pitcher method yielded a better taste than the blender method, but I forget the exact details of their test.

Absolutely not. I think you'll agree once you catch up with the rest of the Internet and watch this video that made the rounds a few days ago.

Actually, make me wish Adam Scott was starring, since the inspiration for the novel this movie's based on was the Party Down episode where J.K. Simmons' movie producer is developing a project where Edgar Allan Poe fights vampires in Baltimore.

And let's not forget handheld railguns were also the central plot point of Arnold Schwarzenagger and Vanessa Williams' "Eraser." The one where he shoots a crocodile at the zoo and quips, "You're luggage."

Brolin's Tommy Lee Jones inflection is UNCANNY. And Smith is a proven consistent entertainer, scientology be damned. I have much better expectations for this than when they did Iron Man 2's without a script.

Actually he gouged his eyes out in regret after discovering the truth.

Agreed. All I could think throughout that clip was how Bruce Campbell would've nailed the jerky jerk doorman part without coming off as an abominable twat.

But the art form is called mandala.

This is a cool story so I'm not gonna complain, but I do find it curious that this is the second story on Red Bull Stratos in three days, the first one being this one: [io9.com]

120,000 teet. I once came across an excellent article this Project Stratos in a random issue of Outside magazine: [www.outsideonline.com]
