Y-Wing is awesome because it has a turret, and turrets are awesome. Especially if you're in a place with limited maneuvering space, where baddies can just fly up behind and pick-off any turretless fighters — like, I dunno, a trench?!?

Thanks, man! My friend let me borrow his Flaming Carrot collection, but I guess he didn't have these issues. Nevertheless, it definitely scratched the itch for absurdity.

I read some Flaming Carrot issues, but I had no idea the Mystery Men came from it. The marketing and reviews for MM always made it seem like it was based on a standalone comic title, but are you saying it was not?

National rolling blackouts marching from west to east would have triggered an all-points red alert at every level of government, with every relevant agency hunting down the perpetrators, thus exposing Greer and Samaritan.

Wow, that's right. I really liked the captain — she was a step above the stereotypical "cop boss" character.

I should have read down to your comment before posting my manifesto above. You said the same thing in a few cogent sentences. (In my defense, I am only able to watch POI on DVR, days after the air date.)

Here's what I think: This season felt oddly both stretched and compressed — meaning, the episode arcs had weird pacing compared to previous seasons. As a result, there were more mediocre episodes this season, which I found analogous to an actor or musician being given the "stretch!" gesture by an offstage director. …

Smitty, I need engines now, goddammit NOW!!

I also like films involving ocean voyages, so I say welcome aboard!

Would but that I had more than one "Like" for your reference of The Red Tent. A stone-cold lost classic.

Greetings, Comrade! I too am a submarine movie fanatic. I love the genre, and I recall seeing this one in the theater. Saarsgard was very good, although he was telegraphed as the "Dead Meat" character early on (as a commenter above pointed out). What I like is that the film does not pull back from the fact that…

It's funny, because I've always resented Lifetime movies for all of the reasons described in this thread. I refer to the genre as "victim-of-the-week" movies, so obviously I see them as decidedly not feminist.

Read the entire comments section and was shocked that nobody mentioned that Wolff was the person who wrote the MTV signature tune.

Yeah, I loved that answer by Tori…but also now realize that with those traits, she would fit-in very well as a manager at my workplace. :(

[Michael Caine] Goldmember, there are two things in this world I can't stand: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures…and the Dutch!

I never knew that, but it makes perfect sense now: She name-checks NIN (sort of) in "Precious Things", and she was always talking-up Reznor's talent in Little Earthquakes/Under the Pink-era interviews.

And then there was the time when his all-consuming obsession with baseball manifested in baseball-stitching-shaped rashes emerging on his head. Then he saw the full moon rise outside his window, only instead of the moon, it was a baseball.

The score by Jerry Goldsmith is one of my favorite film scores, full stop.

They just spent the entire budget on VFX. I'm serious — STIII was ILM's best work in the series.

"White Tulip" is one of my favorite episodes of any television series ever. Like Weller's character, the episode is so much more than the sum of its parts.
