I am so excited about this. This is on my watch list for the weekend.

I'm a terrible person. I talk back to the TV whenever the Paddington commercial airs — the one with the overblown praise from critics: "It's a magical experience you will never forget."

"Omigod, honey — do you remember when we went to see 'Paddington' at the multiplex? You had popcorn and a Coke Zero. You put butter…

One of my favorites is the liquor store with the sign reading "Free bag of Ice-9 with 6-pack!"

So funny - just yesterday I loudly proclaimed my love for my old Star Wars Rebel Forces Fisher Space Pen (original one purchased when I was volunteering at the Star Wars: Magic of Myth exhibit at Smithsonian Air & Space) over on a Gawker piece on pens. So, it's only right to do it again here. It may not be glamorous,…

There you go. I was just going to write that I hope the ancient aliens come and kick their asses. Big time.

I am disappointed that this article did not end with the words "so let it be written, so let it be done."

That's gorgeous and graceful. We had a big, beautiful view of the moon low in the sky for the a.m. commute in DC today, which rocked until the clouds rolled in. Damned weather!

You have fled the apocalyptic California weather, eh? Derek: what a name for something so potentially evil.

Envious of NYC (says DC).

You had to bring up Journeyman, huh? Twist the knife, why dontcha? Now, I'll be grumbling over that cancellation during Supernatural tonight. Signed, Crankypants McCancelWhiner :)

I will never forget reading The Stand for the first time as a kid in Moline, Illinois. There was this chilling moment in the book for me — just a throwaway bit of text — that had Randall Flagg riding his 10-speed across the I-74 bridge in my hometown, over to Iowa. That made him a weirdly personal evil for me.

I'm…

I see my weekend before me: PoI and Turkey Day leftovers. Not a bad combo.

Now I want to watch Galaxy Quest on Thanksgiving. I blame you! :)

I will admit, I was not digging on Root and the Machine, and haven't watched this season of PoI, despite having really enjoyed the show previously. Should I set aside my lack of Root interest and binge on this season on-demand?

If I were diving and came across this, I'd probably be done diving. Then, I would start therapy.

But really, it's totally cool and utterly terrifying.

When I was a kid, I used to ride my old Schwinn with my dog Termite in a big basket between the handlebars. She would just close her eyes and put that schnoz in the air on the ride, happy as a caninie clam. One day, however, she got spooked when a very large dog ran out into the street, and she jumped from the basket.…

I assume one of the spells is for levitation and reads: "Zephyr winds that blow on high, lift me now, so I can fly!"

I'm going to start lighting candles to the screenplay gods and sacrificing small mammals to the production muses to pray that if Dragonriders (or Dark Tower) actually comes to fruition, it's done really, really, really well.

I loved this. At the very beginning of the episode, I wasn't sure if this was going to be cringeworthy or a blast.

It was a blast. Haters be damned.

I curled up in the warmth and humor of what I think you've correctly described as a love letter to us all. I fully admit that between Chuck and the "Samulet," I cried a…

I broke the leg on my Man o' War Breyer figure. One of my sisters taunted me about how I would need to "put it down." I wasn't the brightest child when it came to fixing things. I reattached his leg with green Mystik Tape. It was not pretty.

Same here. Definitely a horse kid, with my Breyer plastic equine collection, so it wigged me out, too. First time I saw "The Godfather," the horse head scene took me right back to the fairy tale.

Yes! The Goose Girl. I have the "colors" series of old school fairy tale books (The Green Fairy Tale Book, the Red Fairy Tale Book, etc.) and that is some DARK stuff. The antique image of the girl looking up at the magic horse's decapitated head, nailed to a barn door? I can see it clearly in my head now, as clearly…
