Limping over the shark

Posted by Will Entrekin Published in Film/TV, TV

First, I want to think MGK for inviting me to stay on as a guest contributor and all the readers of this blog for a terrifically positive experience. I was nervous, at first, but you’re awesome. Second, this is Will Entrekin, and I’m cross-posting this entry to my own blog, Will in the World. This […]

It’s not about people breathing

Posted by MGK Published in David Suzuki Says You're Bad, Politics

Hilzoy over at Obsidian Wings is angry about the fact that athletes are going to have to compete in the horrible Chinese smog, where they can’t be at their best (heck, where they stand a good chance of not finishing their events). This is understandable, because people like watching the Olympics; they’re fun and at […]

Le Law C’est Le Tubes

Posted by MGK Published in Law

This week’s post up at The Court from me concerns a particularly Canadian legal problem that is rare elsewhere – the problem that arises from the Constitutional duty to write all laws in both English and French, and what happens when the English version conflicts with the French version.

SYTYCD Finale Bloggin’

Posted by MGK Published in Obligatory So You Think You Can Dance Category, TV

Supah-deluxe edition. Courtney and Twitch: hip-hop. Courtney and Twitch both danced a pretty mediocre routine by Tabitha and Napoleon reasonably well (nothing exceptional, just all right), with the exception of the overly elaborate end-lift, which kind of fell apart a bit. After a season of watching Napoleon and Tabitha’s routines, I am pretty sure I […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: The Wanderers (twice!)

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

It is the glorious return of this… thingy! Now, I am well-known as a fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes, but keeeeeriiiist there are limits, you know? And the Wanderers go right up to those limits and stomp all over them. The Wanderers are stupid. This is how lame-ass the Wanderers are as a super-hero […]

Dumbassedness Unfortunately Not Endangered

Posted by MGK Published in David Suzuki Says You're Bad

Over at Patterico’s, he and his commenters are just having a good laugh at the expense of all those stupid liberals who worry about “endangered species” now that we’ve found 100,000 new Western Lowland gorillas, because even with 100,000 new gorillas, stupid scientists are saying they might still be endangered! Like, there’s 100,000 more of […]

Train wreck alert!

Posted by Dan Solomon Published in Film/TV, Politics (Other)

You’ll be forgiven if you’ve not heard of An American Carol, David Zucker’s follow-up to Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4, set to precede Scary Movie 5 (seriously, there are five of those fucking things). There’s no trailer, and the movie doesn’t even have an official web page. But, oh, you’re missing out on […]

The Future Is Even More Here Now

Posted by MGK Published in David Suzuki Says You're Bad, The Miscellaneous Sciences And Crap Like That

To pair off with that revelation in making solar cells more efficient by using glass panels to increase their capture ability (discussed here), guess what the folks at MIT did: they invented a cheap, efficient and stable fuel cell so that solar cells can store energy more efficiently for night-time use.

Movies You Have Not Seen But You Should See (Because They Are Good) #14

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks, Movies You Have Not Seen But Should See

Comedies, as a rule, do not age well. Good comedies are plagarized endlessly until nobody laughs at the gags because they’ve already seen them on The Simpsons, and if not, simply become dated as senses of humour shift. Bad comedies are just bad and remain bad. It takes a truly timeless comedy to remain funny […]
