  1. I think I have softened her up enough to watch "The Omega Man". I believe she is now ready for crazy Heston in a velvet tuxedo.
  2. Made Aubrey watch the proper "alternate" end to "I Am Legend" to show that it COULD have been awesome.
  3. MiB 3 was fun. Far fewer aliens in it, but good use of what was there. Better than 2, certainly, about as good as the first. Solid ending.
  4. @tommayo I want to believe there was a punchline coming, had he not been distracted permanently by more serious matters.
  5. @tommayo That odd diversion of his always felt like the start of some sort of "Andy Kaufman: Wrassler" gag that never got off the ground.
  6. @hanknova Drunken nationalism and thinly-veiled xenophobia. Also, Lordi.
  7. Every month, I read Brandon Graham's "Prophet" reboot and I am totally baffled while also being totally convinced that it's brilliant.
  8. Vice President Biden's speech to the families of fallen troops: video.msnbc.msn.com/nightly-news/4… Quite a thing to behold.
  9. Why WOULDN'T you let H. R. Giger design a Batmobile? comics-x-aminer.com/2012/04/22/con… Oh... that's why.
  10. Photo: I’ve established this previously, but Slavoj Zizek jokes will NEVER stop amusing me. tmblr.co/ZlqubyM7bq6H
  11. Scottish Parliament recognizes Marvel Comic's upcoming same sex wedding storyline: robot6.comicbookresources.com/2012/05/scotti…
  12. @Xav Awww yeeeeah. *goes out for donuts anyway*
  13. @Xav Totally agreed. Solid and humane, as I said. I liked the piece enough to be bothered by what feels like (to me) a dissonant headline.
  14. @Xav They believed the studio had a plan because they were told it did. Was it delusion to believe that? That's hard to judge from outside.
  15. @Xav The result, in times like this, is that they wind up using the same coping mechanisms as always and those mechanisms fail....
  16. @Xav Not surprisingly, they usually listen to the studio, but the studio never tells them everything they'd LIKE to know...
  17. @Xav Devs live their lives - in good times and bad - balancing between trusting their leaders and listening to people outside the studio ...
  18. @Xav So... you're saying they should have known? ;) It was a humane piece and evocative, I just take issue with the term "delusion".
  19. @Xav You use the term "delusion". By definition, that means they SHOULD know but either pretend not to or are incapable of grasping reality.
