Finally, a movie made for the iPod Nano.

For the record, Obama has come out in favor of eliminating the penny. It's just that it would require legislative action and it's rather low on his legislative agenda.

Duh, Earth was created in six days and on the seventh day God rested.

Also, Cookie Monster did a rap singing about the importance of healthy foods way back in 1987.

Growing up I had trouble understanding how you can say you want to hang out with someone without it being a romantic date situation. Also, I still kind of feel that way.

I see where you're coming from, but I'm afraid the correct answer is David Wain.

The use of spatial metaphor to describe non-spatial relationships is a common aspect of language.

You may have gone too far, in a few places.

His good twin, Andrew Richards.

The thing is, I didn't really have much problem with that. Coruscant was like most of the prequels a overly CG and fake looking, but the overall aesthetic seemed reasonable for a global space city. Its real-world influences were really obviously rooted in the mid-20th century, but it made sense as its own world. But…

I jerk off every time I see the A.V. Club's commentariat at its best.

Aromatherapy, not homeopathy.

Putting a 1950s diner into a Star Wars movie is an interesting failure. Fantasy movies inevitably borrow from existing culture, and Star Wars doesn't really try that hard to hide its influences.

If you look at the popularity of Madison as a first name it starts to rise immediately after that movie came out.

Ancient Egyptian wasn't a Semitic language, and they went through several different writing systems including Greek. But considering thousands of years passed between the pyramids and Alexander the Great showing up, that leaves a lot of room for accents to drift around.

The stereotype of stone age humans living in caves is kind of inaccurate anyway. Some did, after all some still do, but it's not really a convenient place to live. Cave paintings were drawn by people going into caves for the sake of drawing. You don't really need bronze tools to make a tent.

Yeah, I absolutely did not know that Roma were an actual ethnicity until my late teenage years, (maybe college?) and I can very easily imagine not finding out until much later in different circumstances.

Throw Paul W.S. Anderson into the mix and you might have something. In particular, Wes Anderson doing Paul W.S. Anderson's Three Musketeers seems like it could be interesting, since its anachronistic France could really be flourished with Wes Anderson's style.

South Park isn't anywhere near weird enough to be surrealist. It's a broad comedy, but it doesn't get into the fanciful flights of dream logic that surrealism would imply.
