No need to defend Nazis, but I think a light suggestion "Hey, next time, don't give in to the temptation to punch Nazis, no matter how fun it may seem" is in order. They're looking for a fight, we don't want to give it to them. Looking for ways to improve one's own side doesn't mean you're advocating for the other.

Surprised No Country for Old Men wasn't mentioned. It's definitely not an action movie, per se, but has some incredibly tense action sequences and, in together with The Dark Knight, greatly influenced action movie villains for the decade that followed it.

Don't forget Sucker Punch!

I always do wonder as to how the entire population of Sparta is hairless. Is it genetic or do they wax?

I haven't seen all of it, but I can say that I think that Snyder's flashy style of shooting action doesn't work at all for me, especially in the context of Watchmen, which is meant to be realistic. I think Watchmen is in much greater need of a Christopher Nolan-esque style than even Batman was.

Oh yeah, and he directed the pilot to Lonestar, many years ago. That was good!

Is the tear that much of a mystery? She's sad to see the world is moving on and doesn't really need an Avatar anymore, especially one that is crippled and sickly. On top of that, she's forced to feel this inadequacy and jealousy on one of the most important days in history for the Air Nomads. Instead of being able to

After Book 3 ironed out the problems from Books 1 and 2, this new season is poised to set a new gold standard for animated TV.

Attributes (Charity, Faith, Hope, Grace, etc.) are still relatively common.

Be glad you weren't born within the past fifteen years or else everyone you met would compare you to the villain in Frozen.

How often do you get a "Her?" when people refer to you?

I think the goal is to have a common name, but not one so common that they'll meet a ton of people with their same name. I know probably a dozen Ashleys and Rachels, which just makes things confusing.

I have a nephew turning two soon named Scott. We call him Scotty, and sometimes I'll refer to him as the "Beam Me Up".
Is this usage acceptable because I'll be one of the original people to call him such? Or will it still be annoying?

My first relationship started because we bonded over the terrible puns people make of our names, both of which are nouns.
Also, unrelated hot tip: Don't ever date someone named after a noun. Then whenever you see that noun again, it will remind you of him/her, or at the very least your friends will make a dumb joke

How is it that someone can't stand James Murphy? I don't want to argue about it or anything, but he just seems like such a great guy who makes and produces some really great music. I've heard pretty much nothing but universal praise on the guy, and am curious as to what issues someone might have with him.

What they tried to do with the finale (having Ted tell the story as a way to convince his children he needs to move on and start dating Robin) could have worked if they hadn't spent the entire season convincing us Robin is meant to be with Barney and setting the whole thing over the course of a weekend and then made

One could say the same about Jennifer Lopez in Out of Sight and Kate Hudson in Almost Famous

That's a good point, especially for long-running shows of varying quality. It's really hard to slog through weak seasons or arcs of TV shows in anticipation of better, later episodes, but skipping through weaker episodes can make viewers miss out on the bigger picture. There's also the issue of availability: While

Yeah, the triforce is his most acceptable tattoo, but he got it cheap and it doesn't look very good. And still, I don't think "Boy, Zelda's a pretty cool game!" is a good enough message to have imprinted on your body forever.

He's what a bunch of record producers and adoring fans made him. I was not involved.
