Granted, I’ve only watched the series once, but until this very moment reading this article, it never occurred to me that Nora might not have gone through exactly what she said she went through.  Now I feel like kind of a dummy.

While he does have the power to curse people, Alan Moore is far too busy with other matters...

Good rule of thumb for understanding our laws: imagine the reaction of, say, an old Lutheran minister of, oh, about 75 years of age. If it would be the kind of thing that would make him inveigh about “kids these days”, then we’ve almost certainly at least tried to make it illegal. If it would make him think “darn…

I love this movie. The book, not so much, but the movie is a feast for the eyes and the soul. For me the “operatic scope” is why the final segment of the trilogy failed so hard (and I love it as the wounded beast it is) as really, let’s face it, it is an opera without music.

If you like factual podcasts, I’d heartily recommend BBC Radio 4's In Our Time, presented by Melvyn Bragg. They’re just 45 minutes, and it’s very eclectic: One week it’s about Confucianism, next week it’ll be about the Franco-Prussian War, next week it’ll be about Dark Matter or anti-Protons or Freida Kahlo or the…

Bah.  The only Tripods I recognize have mind controlling hats and aren’t defeated by any measly Earth pathogen, but rather by, as I recall, blowing up their bases on Earth?

Something often overlooked now is that the book was written as a response to a whole genre of literature about the British Empire slaughtering and conquering “backwards” foreign nations, which Wells was far ahead of his time in seeing for the racist shite it was, and so he said to them “What if we were the ones being…

I really enjoyed her performance in season 2 of Fargo

I was a PA for about a year, mostly on commercials and music videos. That is a hard job. Not in the normal sense, because anyone can do it.

Hell, in 1986 real life, Chernobyl’s nuclear reactor was nearly impossible to blow up. Nearly.

You forgot “problem drinker”.
