    Spartacus

    I don't know if you CAN catch the gay from the television, but you can be damn sure that if I do I'm gonna sue the hell out of not-andy. I will push his shit in so hard.

    Dexter

    I don't think it actually matters since the shows have already been made and paid for and it's the final season. It's not like the show is fighting for ratings anymore or they'll just throw the episodes away if people watch Breaking Bad instead.

    The Astronomy Thread

    My expectation would be: authoritarian secrecy (not conspiracy nutter stuff), general indifference, a burst of cashflow into aerospace R&D. I'm not even a conspiracy nut. But if the NASA rover finds spaceship parts on Mars I don't think we're gonna have an Oprah Special telling us about it...

    Hypothesis: 1984 was the best year of film releases ever

    The only movie on that 2010 list I'd class as great was The Kings Speech. The others were good though, don't get me wrong. Just Kings Speech seems like a movie that will hold up where the others are like "I got my moneys worth". Edit: I take it back. True Grit was really fucking good too.

    No. In about 10-20 years you will start seeing commercials for the surgery it takes to fix that.

    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    And most important, do we get to see yoda fuck? Do we get to see his O-face? Do we get to listen to Morgan Freeman narrate, in the voice of yoda? And it being Disney now... where are the rights to Dr. Seuss books? A short intermission with Yoda reading Green Eggs and Ham would be...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    No one is much claiming that they lived shorter life spans. Well, generally they did. Nasty brutish and short. But the potential life span of the animal hasn't changed so much. Median ages in that context honestly mean jackshit. They're interesting to study in relation to disease and...

    How stupid are you compared to your great gramps?

    The skin question fucked with me. "Name 3 uses for the skin". Then you have 2 functions and one property and an all of the above. I understand this is a highly technical internet test and I must register a complaint with the proctor: a property is not a function is not a use.

    Highlander

    Highlander really was an interesting story. It's probably a pretty neat novella. But it was totally complete. The following movies just made it weird. Especially the one that can not be named. Beyond being absolutely horrible, it was just weird for the sake of weirdness. I could see a...

    Hypothesis: 1984 was the best year of film releases ever

    Most movies suck, dude. The reason you think that older movies were better, or the ratio was better, is because when it comes to art time filters out the bullshit. And movies are nominally art -- the good ones are artful, the bad ones... well, bad art exists and is the most common type...

    Plinkett, Half in The Bag and other web movie reviews

    I think I actively despise the guy who plays plinket in the half in the bag episodes. That completely forced high pitched laugh. God, just shut up. It's worse than nails on a chalkboard. I just want to punch him. He doesn't laugh, he brays.

    Hypothesis: 1984 was the best year of film releases ever

    Heat was better than Casino. I like Casino. So much that I rewatched it recently. Honestly, it doesn't hold up nearly as well as Goodfellas. It really does feel by the numbers. But it's still worth watching once at least, and still a good movie. It's just for Scorsese it's mediocre. For...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    The thing is that HG societies didn't invent wheat, or rice, or barley. I'm sure that early societies ate grains when they could find them, and I will bet that they were a preferred food. They've got everything going for them once you realize there are some very simple methods to employ in...

    Parent Thread

    She'll grow out of it. Some kids suck their thumbs until they're 2 or 3. It's not -that- uncommon. Social interaction with other kids breaks them of it if they don't just drop it on their own. There's no great harm in it. Especially not at 9 months. It's mostly just a habit. But if it's...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    In America? Of course you tip unless you're some kind of white trash. How much you tip depends on the bill, the service, and the situation. If you can't afford to leave a tip for being satisfactorily served then stay the fuck home and make your cabbage you fucking poor, inbred, badly raised...

    Big Picasso's thread or BPT for short.

    Gun control

    It's probably not. There was a local journalist around here who took a bet to run a "responsible use of guns" story every day for a year. So every day he had a different story (not long-ass editorial stories, it was usually just him scanning police reports from around the State and getting a...

    Ron Jeremy, possibly RIP.

    The man is a god damn inspiration to any honest masturbator. Maybe we can't all live the dream but just the fact that out there someone did... that is what hope smells like gentlemen. Sweaty, hairy man ass.

    Gun control

    I would think very few doctors would be willing to personally take on the responsibility for gun licensure anyway. The practicalities of that are more political than medical. I have an idea that the AMA would quietly declare an ethical conflict and just refuse to sanction it. The best you...

    I've had this happen once in my life, where an old female friend you sorta fell out of touch with randomly finds your ass out of the blue -- and she's not crazy, or fat, or asking for money, or trying to claim that it's yours. All this means she wants to have a righteous bone for old times...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    They're both important. But it's kinda like a good director can save a bad script, and a bad director can ruin a good script -- but it doesn't seem to work the other way around too often. There are also probably more good writers available than good directors.

    Yeah. pretty sure that's her. That hair man. Makes her look like an 80's pornstar. It took a few minutes of just staring at the picture to figure out who that is.

    Don't you have to shoot a very long distance for it to matter? I learned something new today... the distance isn't as far as I'd thought it was. Like I figgured artillery fire would use it to calculate where they want the shit to actually land, but I didn't even think you could have sniper...

    Flu Outbreak

    It's not quite the same thing. It's a better indicator to sample groups that already got the flu. There's a non-trivial reason that people get inoculated in the first place, and that reason alone is likely to skew your observations and make it seem your vaccine is more effective than it likely...

    Why the moon landing could not have been faked

    Honestly I'm not highly studied in Flat Earth Theory. My guess is that it's an elaborate apparatus built up in a sedimentary fashion around a mostly defensible core, that core being a critique of untempered empiricism. And while there are perfectly valid theoretical/philosophical critiques...
