Things I wonder about: The ratio of PETA staff who are anti-people is vs the percentage of people who donate to PETA that are anti-people. My guess is that the majority of people that contribute to PETA do so about of emotional empathy to mistreated animals while not knowing about the anti-human bas...

Why does everyone keep saying "Spitzer involved in prostitution ring" when he was merely hiring a hooker? If some junkie buys a hit off a dealer at a street corner, do people say "junkie found to be involved in drug smuggling operation"? The entire media has chosen to use a part...

1. This movie was basically Castaway..... with zombies.

2. There was a poster with the Superman S superimposed (haha) over the Batman symbol on one of the walls in time square. Future project in the pipeline?

Good movie. It's also rather sad that the actor playing hot Asian protegee of Admiral Kain managed to have better character development, and more emotional impact, in a single 2 hour special then Katee Sackhoff has managed in three seasons.

Why, what's wrong with it?

10 People? Ok- GW Bush, Cheny, the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Assuming that they come up with a good plan, then the US should weather the zombie threat....

Any chance of Konami and a Belmont?

I suppose it depends on how soon after the Flood appearance they built the first Halo after the infestation began. A Galaxy-wide firing does make sense if it took time since you'll have who knows how many small isolated worlds infested, or deep-space stations or constructs, or perhaps even a reserv...

Questions: 1) If the Flood had millions of ships and quadrillions of drones and Halo "does not kill the Flood; it only kills their food" according to the game, then why doesn't the Flood still have millions of ships? 2) If the Forerunners could build the enormous Ark and keep it safe from...

But then again, aren't Halo ships brought down by megaton level firepower? Not exactly. The level of firepower in Shiva nukes is never explained; they certainly aren't the same as modern nukes, as they seem to generate EMPs in vacuum. Well, what yield would be needed to do that? (dont know much abo...

I watched this movie last night; found it very interesting. Thought I would post it here and open it up for commentary. I'm about to head out the door to meet someone, so I don't have time to give my opinion now (I'll do so later). The movie itself is, after the 10 minute opening overture, divided i...

My pet theory is that the drop off was entirely CGI.

Did everyone here fail math? The ending was a huge lie a that you're suppose to see through. Think about it, on one hand they're telling us that the defeated decipticons were dropped into the abyss and sector 7 was disbanded and yet litereally two minutes later they're sacrastically telling us about...

By Comedian Joe Rogan http://blog.joerogan.net/ I’ve only been upset at Paris Hilton once in my life, and it was pretty brief. I was watching her little home porno video, and right in the middle of giving this young man a blowjob she actually stopped to answer her cell phone. How RUDE! I got over it...

Maybe he found out his son wasn't his?

On a historical sidenote, I could swear I remember reading somewhere that Stalin said that he feared one British agent more then an entire German division.

No "girlfriend"? Would friends with benefits qualify under that? How about a drunken one night stand? A prostitute?

In an average year, children will see over 1000 violent crimes on TV ( here ). Presumably, a sizeable fraction of these crimes involve guns. If you have a problem with a local hero -- a soldier, to boot! -- holding a gun, then turn off the goddamned TV. You honestly see no difference between TV, wh...

Russia can invade, but cannot occupy because of manpower attrition.

Stalemate.

What was the difference in population, 200 million vs 600?

You're kidding right? The US had as much, if not more, industrial warmaking potential, during WWII, as the rest of the planet combined.

In what way? It's basically a saturday-morning cartoon serial of Diablo with a heavy dose of Luke Skywalker Syndrome and the most retarded universe backstory I've ever seen. But nobody ever reads the Blizzard licensed novels because they are all known to be crap. Probably not even canon. The War of...

Everyone is talking about how it's either going to be Starcraft 2 or a new IP. Does ANYONE else even consider that Diablo 3 is a possibility? "The Sin War" trilogy has turned Diablo into a laughingstock of its former self. If they do release a third I hope to hades they clean it up. A lot...
