…are they gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young, or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sand pit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man

"You should never make fun of someone for mispronouncing a word—it means they learned it by reading."

There was already a film version of this story, titled Equilibrium, and it included Tae Diggs being Tae Diggs and it starred Christian Bale killing everybody all the time with gun kung-fu and pistol-whip kung-fu and holding-a-sword-upside-down kung-fu, and also William Fichtner, so it's basically an improvement. Is…

Seriously. The writers really hit on gold so often when they had to write those two together. Their "The 90's want their clothes back"/"You're dead and wasted your time on Earth" exchange ranks among my all-time-favorite sitcom jokes.

Xanthippe (sp?) is back!

Bravo.

If I hadn't been with a big group of friends, I would have walked out. Instead, I consoled myself by similarly goofing on it throughout the duration. About halfway through, two teenage girls (about my own age at the time) turned around and tried to shush me. I spent several minutes castigating them for caring about…

Signs.

I always thought he'd be a great Shazam /Captain Marvel. Then his performance in Central Intelligence proved it to me. Only in this adolescent parody of a DC movie universe would he end up as Black Adam.

I instinctively side with the mammal.

From the article: "New York City tap water has very low levels of calcium carbonate and magnesium, which produces softer gluten"

I like Saratoga Springs. True story.

There are certainly a few different ways you could spin it, depending on what particular baggage you're bringing to the table. It's like the, "Everyone in big cities is so rude" meme: If you think people with tight schedules and unpredictable transportation declining to make small talk when you stop them to ask for…

As someone who has lived in Boston, New York and DC, I'm pretty confident that Montreal and New York don't have a bagel rivalry. Rivalries have to go two ways, but each of the two non-New York cities I've lived in has been engaged in something more like the Johnny Snow/Doctor Horrible situation. The animus flows…

I find Ajit Pai wrong-headed at the most fundamental of levels. Literally the only thing I've heard him say or do since he joined the FCC that I don't think misses the mark in a staggering fashion is that it would be good to make broadband available to most or all of the homes that currently don't have it.

I'm definitely one of the few who mostly liked the ending (it was a fun little subversion of the "live together or die alone" theme; getting to the heart of the matter only to find evidence of yet more, pre-historic DHARMA-like quests to harness power; Jack finally admitting he was always wrong about everything ever…

Amazon wants two seasons of the show? That's cute. I saw the pilot and now I want, like, a million seasons of the show.

He doesn't just think he's being pranked: He was manipulated into turning down the final opportunity he'd ever have to be free and happy, he's utterly alone in the world (hence the irony of his claim that he's "surrounded by people who care about me and my work") and he's already established that he's going to kill…

How on earth was this ending lighthearted?
