    Like you don't relish it as much as he does.

    That one's such a well-kept Hollywood secret that even they didn't know it.

    Do a Google image search on Katie McGrath. They clearly used Rachel Weisz as the base DNA, and took gene sequences from Kate Beckinsale or Rhona Mitra or possibly Jennifer Connelly to fill in the gaps in the genetic code.

    I saw Jurassic World. (Extremely mild spoilers ahead) In a movie with genetically engineered dinosaur clones , I found the most farfetched idea to be that a teenage boy whose only character traits are staring at every young woman he sees like they're the hypnotoad and being kind of a dick could be assigned a guide who

    I just got back from seeing this, and, yeah, I have no problem believing (or suspending disbelief with regards to, at any rate) genetically engineered cloned dinosaurs and trained raptors, but trying to figure how the aviary would work when things were going RIGHT is one of the bigger headscratchers of the movie.

    I always figured it was just that he was a notoriously jowly and cantankerous guy, and Charleston Chew is one of those candy bars that you really need to bear down on like a pit bull, so it seemed funny to them that he'd like them.

    I remember once, ages ago, seeing an episode of the UK Gladiators on some deep cable channel my grandparents had, and I was immediately struck by the fact that the female Gladiators in Britain were … let's say cut from a different cloth than the female American Gladiators. I'm sure both versions had a wide range of

    From what I've been told (I haven't read it or seen the movie) Ender's Game suffers from the same problem that John Carter had (well, the problem it had with many of the people who actually saw it - the problems it had getting people into theaters were it's bigger problems, I suppose) in that it was one of the

    There was a storyline in which Xavier found out that he had a teenage son named David Haller, (a.k.a. Legion) that he'd fathered while doing humanitarian work in Israel. David had severe mental and emotional problems and vast mental powers. The official story was that David's mother had never told Xavier about their

    Especially considering that only a few minutes of research would have revealed that Charles Xavier is a really bad father.

    The whole scene where they're figuring out their powers is my favorite part of the episode. For some reason I just love the phrase "lickety speed."

    I've definitely seen Three Hundred Big Boys on Adult Swim a few times. I do think it's one of the few episodes I missed on its original airdate, though, because I remember seeing it the first time and thinking "I don't remember this episode - holy crap, there are Futuramas I haven't seen?" so I've always thought of it

    I think I could live with that.

    Trying to revive Firefly and accidentally reviving Brisco County Jr. instead would be like trying to win an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and accidentally winning Best Original Screenplay.

    I'm just glad that Nathan doesn't assure us that World of Flops is back to stay: I've often observed that in the entire history of the internet, no one has ever stopped updating or contributing to a website for an extended period of time for non-medical reasons then returned promising to update/contribute more

    Apropos of nothing, if someone were to lend you a DVD boxed set of, oh, hypothetically, say, a science-fiction western…

    Add my voice to the chorus praising the return, like a phoenix rising from Arizona, of what was once, and hopefully will soon be again, the AV Club's signature feature.

    I've always really liked Less than Hero and it never occurred to me that that might not be the general consensus, but the more I think about it, the more it feels like a really non-standard episode. Like something they'd save for an out-of-continuity episode if they'd kept up with the idea of doing Anthology of

    Her best bet is to just give them a tearful "Didn't you ever wonder why my skin and hair suddenly turned chalk white?" and run out sobbing. Be completely noncommittal about what disease she's claiming to have, and refuse to talk to her mom or answer her phone until she's had time to come up with something good.

    I first heard of this show in one of those "Firstlook" things they run before the coming attractions in movie theaters where they have an extended version of the latest Coke ad, something about a car or video game, and what's basically a trailer for an upcoming movie or TV series but with soundbites from staged
