I don’t think you’ve heard people on XBOX Live...

My mother drives the posted limit and is a nervous driver. She drives in the slow lane so that she can be safer and feel safer. When someone comes up from behind and starts tailgating, it can FREAK HER OUT because it is unsafe. If you want to pass, great, there’s still no need to tailgate. I’ve also seen nervous…

It does. Happened to me once. They cut right in pretendeding they didn’t see me. So after they unloaded their hand basket and J unloaded mine, when they weren’t looking I loaded all their shit back into the basket and put it on the ground.

Yes! Insurance companies should give you a break on your premiums if you subscribe to Audible.

I get why Lucas might be annoyed at how the new movie is being received. Star Wars is his legacy for better or worse. And it may be he has sellers remorse after seeing how much more loved the new movie is over the prequels. As an artist and filmmaker, even with all the money he got, that has to sting a bit. So I can…

Because you made such a big deal of it in the first place. YOU are the one that started the nonsense with “ugh, such a terrible name”. You could have simply left it as “I don’t like the name”, but you had to cast a judgement on it, even though there’s plenty of people in the world that think it’s a perfectly good…

This is the world we live in.

A guy reporting on a film he has not seen yet. It takes around 2 hours to watch it before you post an article about it. Is it that important that you make an article of this as soon as you can?

Reminds me of YouTube comments where people just pour out their opinions before even finishing…

Guy’s lucky his publisher isn’t Tor Books. They don’t fool around with authors who drag their feet. I heard a rumor that Robert Jordan didn’t actually die of “natural causes.”

It’s almost universally agreed upon that the most recent books are 75% schlock that go nowhere, only adding more and more plots that don’t look like they can be wrapped up in two novels. There was sooooo much pointless plodding about and repetitious themes in Dance of Dragons. Did Tyrion really need a whole book to…

Here’s the thing- George Martin thinks his job title is “writer”, but it’s not, not anymore. For better or worse, his job title is “writer of A Song of Ice and Fire”

I don’t think Lucas has sufficient perspective on the extent to which the OT movies were “his.” They were never “his.” They owe their success to him, but also to Marcia Lucas, Leigh Brackett, Lawrence Kasdan, Irvin Kershner, Gary Kurtz, Harrison Ford, and a lot of other people. The people I listed were all folks whose…

NOBODY LIKED YOUR PREQUELS, GEORGE. Has nobody told him this? Nobody? Is he in complete denial?

Yes, this is soft eugenics. The idea that this is a “human rights violation” is perhaps the stupidest thing I’ve read this week. I must’ve missed the lecture where getting $50 to jack off in a cup was a serious human right. Or that my sperm has a fundamental human right to impregnate a stranger against their consent.…

You would accomplish the same end by hitting the local club with a questionnaire and fishing for college-educated dudes with no autism or ADHD or Downs or obesity or whatever else in their history or the family history. What’s the problem?

If so I really don’t see anything wrong with that. I would be PISSED if the kid I had with sperm from a sperm bank had a genetic disease that was entirely preventable by not giving me that sperm.

I think you’re confused. We aren’t crying out for the return of hand drawn animation. (Redline, etc.) It’s the fact that they rendered Gut’s whole body except his face, instead of digitally drawing it. The mind can still tell what is completely rendered and what is at least partially drawn. Like Gundam Unicorn, you…

Amazon is hardly losing the online content game. They mopped up the Emmys this year and they already have a share agreement with HBO for all their catalog content. If anything, Netflix, who’s idea of “fresh” is a deluge of S. Korean cartoons and sitcoms, is slipping behind. I subscribe to both, and were it not for…

This isn’t as simple as it sounds. There’s a longstanding debate between the FAA and the NTSB about this. FAA argues (successfully thus far) that requiring seats for kids under two would drive up the cost of flying for families, and cause some of them to drive instead. Since a child is statistically safer flying from…

This is why I will never understand people who claim there's no such thing as white privilege. Just three generations ago black people were banned from Oregon. Just two generations ago black people were allowed to be banned from schools and other public and private institutions. Well into the 1980s, financial…

The point, informative. Like how it informed me that they had a law that forbade black people from living in their state. I had no idea, I know I can not be the only one.
