I kind of hand-waved the laser-freezing thing as something about the cold gun slowing down the excitation of molecules along the light beams, and the ice forming out of the ambient air swirling around the waste energy, blocking the ports emitting said radiation. When he walks through the web of ice, the ports are…

Just pray they don’t Fantastic Four “Sweet Christmas” like they did “It’s clobberin’ time!”

Childhood ruined.

I walked out of Outbreak (with Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, Rene Russo). The slowly growing visual narrative of an ebola epidemic freaked me out back then.

Bringing balance to the Force.

This wasn’t a social accident. There have been too many stories about ‘blackface parties’ in the media for the participants not to have done this deliberately. So throw their entitled asses out of school.

Belittling people who don’t prescribe to your opinions is a poor tactic with which to engage in open and honest discussion.

Cue the nerdrage on what makes pulp ‘pulp’. I think redefining the genre for the 21st century can survive dropping the softporn factor and not hurt the characters in the slightest.

...Ah, yes...Edgar Rice Burroughs, feminist. /sarcasm

Seven years later, I come across the original story. Nightmares come back. Ack.

“A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines - because they displeased him - and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages - just by using his mind. Now I’d like to introduce you to some of the people in Peaksville, Ohio. This is…

...Finn Calrissian?

Well, to be fair, Bruce Banner/the Hulk *was* the Jekyll/Hyde of the Atomic Age. No one complained when Stan Lee made Thor a space god.

I have never in my life paid as much for concert tickets as I paid recently for box seats in her arrival at Chastain Ampitheatre in Atlanta.

...I don’t think I’ve paid for one pair of tickets that cost more than all other concerts and Broadway shows COMBINED in my life.

Y’ALL NEED TO KNOW JANET GIVES ME LIFE

I WILL BE…

A contender:

People calling it “La-crawh” are attempting the French pronunciation, which I’m not sure is the official branding.

Just ordered the audiobook!
