Angus!

This is the fourth book in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns (now in collected edition somewhere out there).

The Dark Knight would disagree. Course, those pesky heart attacks can put a crimp in your style.

See that's just pure win. Radio 4 has won the internets today. They can send a representative around for their prize.

Fair enough, please just stay away from "just the tip" jokes. My office really ran that one in the ground today. mkaythxbye.

WAIT. Aliens didn't build our world? Can you prove that?

Well, no, my point was not everyone was going with ISIS. There are folks who have to work with the technically accurate version, because their bosses would fire them in anger for being "blindsided" when ISIS stops fighting in the "IS" and starts bombing Lebanon, Palestine and Israel (something they can afford to do…

At least they're being honest. "We care more about today's industries, than we do about our children's future living conditions or ability to be competitive on the global market."

Small point of order (big pet peeve) it is actually ISIL if you are doing a straight English translation acronym (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant). The Arabic is Dariya al-Islamiya f'il Araq wa ash-Shems (Islamic State in Iraq and the Shems or you got it Levant). The important thing being one day the group…

The key thing about all of the potential ways to earn a franchise is that they entailed a form of personal suffering and a real risk of death. The goal wasn't to make people "more informed". The point was to make them RESPONSIBLE. Authority and responsibility must be balanced to have functioning government. It…

Sure, your not going to make money if your business strategy is "make a big budget, effects laden, combat-realistic WWII movie aimed exclusively at WWII vets." I think the first three parts of that formula will still work. The Winter Soldier thru me a little bit with the whole "the Howling Commandos only lost one…

3) Seven Samurai Jedi

Granted if you banked on making money on the WW2 crowd today, you'd probably lose money. But the producers of Saving Private Ryan called. They'd like to dispute your assertion. So would those who manned the suicide hotlines, depression hotlines, and veteran hotlines on the weekend that movie hit theaters and WWII…

But the question is "what is worthy?" Your metric of "undesirables" a la the National Socialist Party's ideals is "unworthy" in birth and to some small step deed. The ST world didn't have "unworthies" as you would have them. It had those who served and voted, and those who did not.

Yeah, Starship Troopers' voting citizen is to some degree not that different from David Brin's Earth. In Earth, a citizen had to demonstrate they were being educated on not just one side of an argument to get the vote. So, no, Fox watchers, you couldn't vote unless you watched some MSNBC. Same goes for you…

The Benders (season 1, episode 15), so called after the "Bloody" Benders of Kansas.

YES! Sexy, vamp Willow. So awesome, they brought her back even though her world was erased! More please!

No, but there will be this cannon stock light freighter the most hard-core, cannon-ophile somehow missed in their obsessive combing of Wookiepedia. It's name, you ask? Why, the S.S. Harrison, of course.

In most cases, it is better to not know a villain's backstory. Modern attempts at backstories for villains seem to focus on giving the villain a "good" reason to be the bastard. The writer attempts to evoke sympathy for the person. These attempts are kind of like The Killing Joke, where the Joker tries to convince…
