It is so bad it goes BACK IN TIME to reinforce its atrocities with the accumulated weight of coagulated awfulness since Fall Out Boy was a thing.

I was once on the elevator with the president of TV Land at the time, Larry Jones (very nice guy). He was mulling something over, then turned to me and said ‘so what do you think of The Big Bang Theory’? I said ‘I think it’s awful, lowest-common-denominator crap that doesn’t even understand the very premise or…

I’ve been laughing at “The people who brought you Shrek” tag for years now. People forget (apparently) that Shrek was the poster child for anti-Pixar, anti-intelligent CGI family films; a repugnant-for-the-time, officiously lazy cash-grab that relied on fart jokes and familiarity with Top 40 songs. Emblazoning a new…

What AMBI has done is a very canny bit of self-promotion. Yesterday, you had no idea who AMBI was. If you were in the film industry as a producer/studio/exec, they’d be just another production company with some money in the bank. Now, they’re the yahoos who threw down a gauntlet and got every movie site in existence…

Is it just me or is Kylo Ren’s voice a lot more electronic-y/distorted in this now?

“And then he noticed—Rio Blast’s left thigh gun had been...replaced!”

Am I a cranky old man to think that this is essentially what we all used to do when we were 3-12 or so, hopping around, pretending we were shooting aliens and monsters with our imagined laser guns, except now we’re outsourcing the imagined visual and sound effects to a computer?

I think this all means that Ridley Scott doesn’t really understand what ‘being in the same universe’ means. Clearly these are all meant as prequels, and he’s saying that it wouldn’t be until a ‘third or fourth’ movie that we see clear connections, but obviously they ARE connected and he’s just not aware that that’s…

This is one of those things that’s supposed to be funny because it’s pointing out blatantly obvious observations one after the other. Therefore, it is not funny.

Alfred Hershey came to Cold Spring Harbor in 1950. Two years later, he and Martha Chase performed one of the most famous experiments in modern biology, the “Waring blender” experiment, which reinforced the findings of other scientists that genes were made of DNA, not protein. The discovery of the structure of DNA in…

In 1995, this would have undoubtedly be called AVENGERS 2: (possibly a subtitle), because this whole not-putting-numbers-on-sequels-thing is a recent phenomenon.

Call me old fashioned, but the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories in Cold Spring Harbor, NY (y'know, where they discovered DNA?) are still beautiful in my book:

RE: "I am still deeply suspicious of why Marvel is so determined to get Spider-Man in the Civil War movie as opposed to anything else."

In case I missed someone else posting it before Rob updates, here's the address for Operation Gratitude: http://www.operationgratitude.com/

In Garfield NJ (and Saddle Brook and Lodi etc.) it was Goosey Night.

I can attest to the success of the paper cutouts—I made a bunch for the Comedy Central Halloween party a few years ago (note: they work almost as well on a colored wall for bringing the frights inside). It was a haunted circus theme, hence the animal skeletons.

This is terrifically, horribly, insultingly unfunny. It's like they saw a picture of all these characters, or, I dunno, saw the words on a spinny-board, and tried to be 'funny' based on nothing but that.

If DRM is meaningless, then why is it noteworthy of them to trumpet their lack of it?

I can see what you mean, but I have to stick to Blade as being a better example of what superhero movies can be, in that actual superpowers (super-strength, super-jumping (?), 'bullet-time' (before there was bullet time), super-sword fighting, etc., helped move the plot along and came across as acceptable. 'The Crow'…

That would be great if Argo was anything more than a dazzlingly overrated, turgid cliche-a-thon.
