CLINTON: I don’t believe you ask them that. WALLACE: We ask plenty of questions of… CLINTON: You didn’t ask that did you? Tell the truth WALLACE: About the USS Cole? CLINTON: tell the truth. WALLACE: I…with Iraq and Afghanistan there’s plenty of stuff to ask. Heh heh. Funny how easily an intelligen...

The flames kill it for me. Prime is supposed to be a calm, level-headed leader and "x-treme flamez" don't convey that feeling.

I guess you could say it's part of his disguise .

Universe: Robotech
Mech: Veritech, Destroid, Battlepod, Power Armor, Bioroid

Let's just say I have a whole new respect for Hezb Allah... Way to go guys! :) Yeah, way to go: spark a pointless conflict of dickwaving that gets a thousand civilians killed and billions of dollars of infrastructure damaged; then win brownie points when you start clearing up that very damage. Noti...

It's from the single episode OVA called Transformers Zone.

That still doesn't explain why he's wearing a cape .

They need to make a print of the picture with the Chief and his arsenal. I was slightly underwhelmed by the graphic novel, myself. Especially since the binding process cuts out the entire middle of the illustration :( . The stories were fun, quick reads but nothing memorable. The big selling point ...

Hatred is the Emperor's greatest gift to Mankind. I thought it was a unified human empire founded on the idea that people could work towards a common goal without breaking down to infighting. And the Emperor formed this unified empire by ruthlessly destroying anybody who refused to accept his rule....

I am literally about to cry. This makes me so happy, it's hard to reasonably express. And go fuck yourself, "2D no longer draws a crowd." Fuck you hard. People will go to see 2D movies if they're good. The problem is, they're relatively rare coming from large budget projects over here. Th...

Another economy car would make more sense than a muscle car as a replacement body. Maybe a Honda Civic or something.

Theski, why don't you wear seatbelts? I'm very curious why you don't use a safety feature that's been proven to save lives and takes all of 5 or 6 seconds to apply.

DEATH, question goes to you too, why don't your sisters like to wear seatbelts?

That was the best thing I've seen all week. I got to the question where they asked if the pilot fit in with the rest of Sci-Fi's programming and wanted to put "no, because it's not worthless crap." Hey, the Scifi series - the Stargates, neoBSG, Firefly and such - tend to be pretty good. I...

I'll add that I thought Authority was good up until Vol 3. Now I fucking hate them and I'm glad they're all dead. Is that the part where they supposedly get replaced by the G7 nations. The storyline sounded promising (granted it was only a summary on Wiki) and I was hoping to get the run ending aft...

The Authority was great whilst Warren Ellis was writing it. After that it got a bit pants. Mark Millar claimed to be getting serious and political, but actually just got parodic and silly. But it's so wonderfully over the top :D. As long as you don't let the self -importance bog you down Millar's r...

That was the best thing I've seen all week. I got to the question where they asked if the pilot fit in with the rest of Sci-Fi's programming and wanted to put "no, because it's not worthless crap."

Stick to the initial Warren Ellis run (The Circle, Shiftships, The Outer Dark) to start with. You may also want to pick up the Ellis Stormwatch run (from Change or Die on up at least) as it sets up a lot for The Authority. The entire Warren Ellis run on Stormwatch is worth picking up in general. Hi...

That sounds more like a punishment than a prize to me.

At least the "boyfriend" was white. I would have loved to see the parents' reaction to a black, hispanic, or asian guy.

1) A Daikon is a large white vegetable, kind of shaped like a carrot, but bigger. They punned this a few times during those videos. To further fill in the blanks (and honestly, with those videos we need all the help we can get), the name of the SF convention is Daicon. "Dai" being a prefi...

Definitely look into Kingdom Come and Red Son if you haven't already. They're both highly entertaining Elseworlds DC titles. If you're willing to explore non DC and Marvel titles, I highly reccomend Astro City , Top Ten and Invincible . All three titles balance old-school superhero concepts with mod...

The easiest way, it seems, to get the rusty air compressors and wrecked helicopters out of public parks (almost too bad - that shit is fun to climb on), and to rein in the excesses of the bleeding, conceptual edge of art is to make publically funded art beholden to public taste as well. If we - the...

Personally, I think that the solution is for the NEA and the charities that fund artwork to begin giving commissions for artwork to decorate a specific public space, instead of grants to create some art for its own sake. Art isn't scientific research; an artist experimenting and creating unpreceden...

Good art may need an explination at times, but it never needs a cult to prop it up. Some is less accessible, and like a complex book, requires a bit more 'langauge' experience before you can understand what is being said and appreciate the structure. To manglephrase Jefferson, "It is crap alon...

Good art should not require an explanation. That's my problem with modern art. Would "It looks pretty/nice/cool" be a good explanation? I was wondering what your opinion is on the works of, say Jesus Soto (Venezuelan). As far as I know, the only explanation for that kind of art is that it...

What about the Cosmology? What constitutes a God, and what Earth's importance is in the Grand Scheme of Things is a lot diffrent between DC and Marvel. Earth is fairly significant in both universes...although in DC, it's the cradle of the next generation of universal protectors, while in Marvel it'...
