Oh good lord, what must the full character design for Catwoman look like if it has a zipper where I think it needs a zipper in order for any of that first ridiculous image to make any sense?

It's not the most obviously genre-y missed opportunity out there, but I'll always regret that Mulholland Dr. was never made into a full series. Sure, the pilot-turned-film was brilliant too, and maybe it all would've ended up the same way as Twin Peaks toward its end, but a single season could have been amazing given…

More like "Powered by Bears," amirite?

Agreed, those are all great games—especially Elder Scrolls, which I was skeptical about as a first-person RPG until three minutes after picking it up. But I just don't see first-person translating very well for super heroics, wherein part of the point seems to be seeing beloved characters beat the stuffing out of…

Oh gods, it was first-person? No wonder they scrapped it, even though a lot of the elements don't look terrible.

I am obeying the Thumper rule so hard right now.

Oh man, what about Trollope's "Chronicles of Barsetshire," which not only share a universe with each other, but also several of Trollope's other works, works by others written in homage to Trollope's style, as well as—surprisingly—Sterne's Tristram Shandy? Not science fiction, of course, but still pretty cool.

Nor in Canada. :(

Honestly, I keep trying to get back into the X-Books, but I generally can't stand how conservative and reactionary the feel of the books has become under the current writing teams. YMMV, clearly, but it's simply not for me. That being said, X-Factor is hopefully still to the side of whatever the rest of the titles are…

Given the hand-waviness of X-Men continuity since the conservative turn after House of M, I've always chosen to believe that it was Magneto in New X-Men, but Wanda simply used her completely-lacking-in-irony-mad-woman-in-the-attic powers to switch things around (thus placing her now-reformed father on Genosha, where…

Having unfortunately seen the thing, I can assure you that it's some of both. There is a shot where, had the actress been vajazzled, we would have known.

This twee-taken-to-the-place-where-it's-creepy thing looks a lot like the general aesthetic of the Radiohead video for "There There."

On the one hand, I'd like to think this was indeed the show's attempt to grapple with Moffat's penchant for creating monsters that actually are terrifying for a show that is placed in a time slot and marketed towards children in the UK. But honestly, I feel like any kid who actually watches and enjoys Doctor Who isn't…

While I'm sure there are plenty of uses for the trope, wasn't there a late-series plot point in Angel where it was revealed that there was a hole running the entire length of the world (possibly with all of the old demons like Illyria or something interned in it)?

Given his penchant for drug trips and confessional interviews about them, as well as bald guys and red heads in nearly every run, it's sometimes fun to read Grant Morrison's projects as comprising one big metatextual, allegorical memoir. In particular, there's always that one amazing speech (sort of) about The…

I LOL'ed.

I might be missing something (I didn't read the book), but these puppets don't look all that, well, dead—or undead, as the case may be. Mostly they look like the Beatles, minus the fashion, after a very rough Saturday night. Paul is undead?

Miranda July has my heart—I just hope this gets a wider release up in Canada very soon.

Eh, thing is, that scenario would never happen because it would be patently ludicrous for homosexual couples to think that their children wouldn't, couldn't, or shouldn't come into contact with representations of heterosexuality—especially since their children might be heterosexual themselves.

"Because it has gay actors playing straight characters?"
