I had to stop reading this list to rush down here and comment:
There is probably no Pratchett fan who loves Pratchett more than I do.
And I am telling you The Long Earth SUCKS.
It is TERRIBLE. It is DULL.
DO NOT READ THE LONG EARTH SERIES.

The biggest difference is that they are on Federal land. That means it is the Federal authorities who decide whether or not to take action—not local police yahoos itchin’ to use their shiny military-surplus riot suppression gear.

Stainy and Smelly!

IIRC, the brujo uses various poison powders which he blows into people's faces.
The lover's death (Aaron Eckhart) still haunts me. God that was horrible.
The actress who played the younger sister was fucking amazing. Held her own with Blanchett and Jones in every scene.
Val Kilmer shows up for no apparent reason…

WTF? This is the third time "Somerton Man" has crossed my computer screen in as many days—once in an "unsolved mysteries" link on my FB feed; yesterday in a short story I read; and now you guys.
What is the universe trying to tell me?
Maybe I'd better have my spleen checked.

STELLAAAAA!!

I abandoned Christianity long ago, but hell, there ain't nothin' wrong with Jesus. Jesus was Way Cool! You don't have to believe that he's God incarnate to admire his life.

I let go of plot/sense expectations long ago. Now I just watch AHS for the spectacle, and man, does it deliver.
I've enjoyed this show SO much since I gave up expecting it to make any narrative sense.

Atheism is just a belief without proof.
You can't prove that there is a God, and you can't prove that there isn't.
Atheism is just the other side of the religion coin.
(Atheists hate it when I point this out.)

Belief without understanding is just faith.
How many people do you know who actually understand the scientific method?

It is a religion for some people, just as atheism is a religion for some.
Anything you have blind faith in—belief without understanding—can be classified as your religion, and a lot of people have the same blind faith in/acceptance of what they call "Science" as others do in what they call "Christianity"—in both cases,…

I am only commenting because I am angry with myself for not coming up with your handle before you did. Really angry.

The Flintstones thing was still better than Butterfield 8, for which she "won" a motherfucking Oscar.

So much truth in this comment.

…which does not come near the level of The Tommyknockers.

Aw fuck no.

Titus Andronicus is schlock. It's, like, Shakespeare's Michael Bay play. The main characters contradict themselves and the plot makes no fucking sense.

Stephen Baxter's the guy who published the Long Earth books in "collaboration" (yeah, right) with an ailing Terry Pratchett.
Pratchett's name was enough to con me into buying and reading the first book.
Baxter is the most boring writer since…Baxter is a fucking boring writer and I'm never going near him ever again.

They were mostly ANZACS, and the British didn't give shit one about the ANZACS. Those men were completely expendable as far as their motherland was concerned.

It did. Take it from an old person. Better still, get your hands on some Mexican Coca-Cola.
