From Stephen Elliott
Is it Saturday already? Time flies when grades are due.
The Mexican answers some important questions about faith and cartoons.
Yes yes yes. Take what Overthinking It says about filmmaking and apply it to writers as well. Everyone needs an editor.
...moreSaturday mornings, y’all–we’re all about the linkage.
The box set wars are in earnest now. AC/DC has upped the ante by including a guitar amp in its $200 box set.
I’d do this if the pay were right. Hell, I’d do it to a pig if the pay were right.
...moreIf you’re not reading Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, you ought to be.
This dog would be fully justified in refusing to warn its owners in the event of a house fire.
I can’t really top the title of this website: Klingons For Christ.
...moreLet’s say you were the kind of person who thinks the Bible could use a little livening up, a little updating–you’d probably find Overthinking It’s post on fusing the KJV with the Nintendo Universe right up your alley.
If you’re the kind of person who is ready to welcome our future robot overlords, you could check out the next-next-next generation of baseball players.
...moreI have to admit, reading an application of literary theory to something like a pop song gives me the giggles. Yeah, I’m a dork–this is a shock? So when I saw the title Perspectives on Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer”, I was hooked.
...moreDid enemy of all that is good in film Michael Bay luck into a story that illustrates basic Hindu thought? The folk at Overthinking It make an interesting case for it.
...moreMiss me? I expect I’ll be caught up from this move by sometime in mid-July, 2013.
Bentham Science Publishers has a credibility problem. I think I saw that movie, almost 20 years ago.
Sunspot simulation–the image is, if possible, even cooler than it sounds.
...moreBecause it’s Saturday, and because at heart I’m a child, Who Pooped?
It’s hard to say just how super they are, but there are superheroes roaming around. I wonder if the warnings about Jim still hold?
Ever wanted to tell someone to wipe their ass with a TPS Report?

Has it been this way since the invention of the portrait? Does every generation look back at family pictures and wonder what the hell they were thinking?
Overthinking It has some suggestions for doing prequels–not that Hollywood will listen. To their list of backstory done well, I’ll add the new Star Trek.

I hadn’t thought about it this way before, perhaps because I’m rarely in a dance club anymore, and when I was in them, I was generally too blitzed to pay that much attention to the orders I was receiving from the speakers, but it seems that as much as beats per minute and catchy bass hooks, the imperative tense in lyrics is part of what really gets us going on the dance floor.
