Are they even trying anymore? In this week’s episode of Stargate Atlantis titled “Trio” Carter, McKay, and Dr. Keller visit a planet of miners to convince them to move to more stable land. How’s it turn out? Who knows, the lemmings… I mean SGA team (whose combined IQ is over 500) falls one after another into a hole. The entire episode consists of them trying to escape in various ways

Ever wondered what Ferris Bueller was like when he wasn’t ditchin’ school? Meet Charlie Bartlett. The difference is Charlie doesn’t start out as big man on campus. In fact on his first day at a new school (his old one kicked him out for making fake ids) he’s ridiculed for his clothes and gets a swirlie from the resident bully.   Luckily, just like in real life drugs fix everything.

The robot revolution is coming, in more ways than one. Researchers at Cornell University’s Baker Institute for Animal Health are taking a page from nature and modeling nanobots after life’s little workhorse – sperm. Sperm are the model of efficiency, able to swim 7 iph (inches per hour) or the equivalent of a full grown man swimming a record-breaking 3.7 mph. These techno-sperm will incorporate the sperm’s tail, or flagellum,

Eerily similar to the comic book Y: The Last Man, in which a female scientist’s attempt to clone herself unleashes a plague that wipes out all men, British scientists have created sperm from female stem cells. The process literally takes men out of the equation. This artificial sperm lacks the Y chromosome, which only men carry, and therefore can only produce female offspring. So what happens when women realize they

Five years ago Yorick Brown went to bed a nobody (i.e. an English major). When he woke up he was the most important man in the world (i.e. the only man in the world). 60 issues later, the Yorick’s journey ended as mysteriously as it began. If you haven’t read the series please do so before reading on, and especially before before the movie comes out in 2009 (isohunt.com is

First they brought back the 2nd Robin (Jason Todd), now they’re apparently reviving the aptly named Spoiler aka the 4th Robin. I’ve said it time and time again (and I’ll keep on saying it) these resurrections are killing comics. They not only trivialize the characters’ deaths, they simultaneously erase all the loss, doubt, and regret felt by those they left behind. If everyone can come back to life, what’s the

Binocular vision, three fingers, a pair of tank treads; it’s hard to miss the resemblance between Johnny 5 and Pixar’s latest creation Wall*E. Need further proof that Wall*E is the son of Johnny 5? Okay, how about this: Wall*E’s movie takes place 700 years the future and in the last Short Circuit movie they were trying to reproduce cute mini versions of Johnny 5. It appears they succeeded! But unlike

When Rambo says no, he means it… unless a pretty girl says pwease. And so, against his better judgment, Rambo swallows his arthritis pills and ferries a group of Christian missionaries into war-torn Burma. What follows is an extremely vicious massacre by the Burmese military. Unlike previous movies in the series the deaths are incredibly graphic, limbs are hacked & blown off (no cutaways) and even children are fair game.

A little thing like death isn’t about to stop Captain America from defending the free world. Nine months after Cap’s shocking assassination, his WWII sidekick Bucky has reluctantly picked up the mantle (see Captain America #34). There’s just one problem – HE HAS NO SUPERPOWERS! Thus the very unheroic pistol he’s sporting. What’s next, Superman dying and being replaced by guy with a… oh I don’t know, sledgehammer. Even Bucky

In the final Democratic debate before Super Duper Tuesday both Clinton and Obama dodged the question of whether they would consider teaming up for a run at the White House. But when the debate was over Barack made Hillary blush when he leaned in and whispered something into her ear. A lip reader from the League of the Hard of Hearing analyzed the video (watch here) and was able to

Earlier today 98 civilians were killed when 2 mentally challenged women strapped with dynamite and ball bearings were detonated by remote control. When will Iraqis wake up! Even within the extremist group Alqueda in Iraq there must be those with some semblance of a conscience. No matter how indoctrinated you are, surely you can realize evil when you see it. Moreover, these groups are not operating withing a vacuum. These

What happens when you mutate mutant turtles? Shell if I know. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Superman Legend was a 2 episode special created in Japan for the sole purpose of promoting a new line of toys (new in 1996 that is). The plot revolves around the turtles finding magical Mutastones which greatly enhance their gnarlyness. Naturally, Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady also acquire stones but nonetheless are foiled by those accursed
