I can see myself perhaps watching this movie again, but only by skipping to the very end where Maria Schneider kills Brando in vengeance and (implied) is going to tell the police that he raped her.

I'm not hugely versed in Friedman's work, but my favorite of his was his Rolling Stone illustration that showed a rock 'n roll classroom with Springsteen copying his paper off Dylan, and Mellencamp copying off Springsteen.

If there is any takeaway from The Wire, it is that the characters are not saints, that the system is f'ed up, and that justice is oft not neatly awarded on those who may deserve it. It is not intended to be, in your wording, "a just thing", but rather, just a thing.

Most of these are boring "___ is beautiful" or "___ awaits" banalities, so let's hit the highlights:

No bet after his whole confused explanation to Stephanopoulos where he basically said as far as he knew, Russia was not in Ukraine, and if they were, it was Obama's fault. Still, embedded in that mess were gems like:

Mini-Wiki Wormhole: Slipknot sued Burger King, unsuccessfully, in 2005 over the latter's fictitious "rooster metal" band Coq Roq. While you're wrapping your head around the fact that Burger King actually named a promotion using an intentional homophone of "cock", it didn't take long for Burger King to demonstrate…

Plus, a Far Cry movie has already been attempted, in 2008, by Uwe Boll (of course) and a largely German cast, starring Til Schweiger (Inglourious Basterds' Hugo Stiglitz).

I'll will, ahem, ascend to the challenge of arguing against Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator's supremacy. It is basically two half-baked story lines joined at the hip, one in which the characters fly the elevator into space and tangle with the alien Vermicious Knids (who were only mentioned in the first book) and…

We said the same thing about Watchmen and V For Vendetta. And we were right!

I worked in a video control booth at that time, and we always had an episode from any given one of those shows on — that or Warners' Animaniacs, or Batman: The Animated Series. Good times for toons!

In the book, the Happy Medium is female. GENDER-WASHING…

But once she gets her doctorate, look out.

Yes, this. If you really want to be pedantic, my recollection is that AWiT had Mrs. Whatsit and her friends implied to be the personifications of former stars (as in, stellar gaseous bodies). The cosmic teacher character Blajeny, from the second book, was the one specifically declared to be an angel. But as you…

He told you he couldn't talk!

Well, now I know what salsify is.

(after researching) Close — Tank Wars. But tanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I'll pile on to the Lemmings love. To me, it was a spiritual child of games like Lode Runner and Boulder Dash — conceptually simple but increasingly complex self-teaching games that had their feet in both the arcade and the world of puzzle-solving. I have many fond memories in the early '90s of visiting my Friend…

No, it does not. The double-W on Wonder Woman's costume only dates back to a 1982 redesign (which would be post-Whataburger). Before then, her emblem was a golden eagle.

Yes, Marvel/Disney "quietly" removed the Inhumans movie from their release slate back in the spring. Good thing too. I love the Kirby Inhumans, but the current powers are obviously using the brand as a stand-in for the X-Men/mutant-based franchise that they would clearly like to have, but can't.

PLAY. CYBERBALL.
