  1. Re:To quote Geroge Carlin... on Craigslist Agrees With State AGs To Curb "Erotic Services" Ads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's like Matt Groening's great cinema paradox:

    the french are funy
    sex is funny
    comedy is funny

    yet no french sex comedy is funny

  2. Fast, Cheap, And Out Of Control on Science Documentaries for Youngsters? · · Score: 1

    Errol Morris' documentary on nature/humanity/everything is facinating and compelling, and is sure to get both adults and children thinking. As a bonus, his documentaries don't skimp on the visuals, so you get lots more than just talking heads

  3. Re:What? on Norway Liberal Party Wants Legal File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Telling jokes you didn't make up yourself is not, and have never been illegal

    Which is too bad, because we are now stuck with Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook.

  4. 2 more rewarding films than the Solaris remake... on The Sci-Fi Movie Stigma · · Score: 1

    ...and I liked Solaris a lot, but I have no doubt that it's anywheres near as good or thought-provoking as Primer, probably the best "pure" sci-fi film since 2001: A Space Odyssey. Featuring no action scenes (a rarity for a film that people categorize as sci-fi), and a mind-bender of a plot, and most importantly, logical turns instead of twists.

    Don't forget about A Scanner Darkly either, which was much mroe faithful to the spirit of Phillip K. Dick than Spielberg's Minority Report which turned a compelling premise into a boring, bloated, and simplistic action/thriller picture.

  5. If I remember correctly on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    I don't really follow local or state politics as well, but I would say to vote, just in case P. Diddy decides to actually go through with his "Vote Or Die" pledge from a couple years ago.

  6. Re:Broken Record on Canadian Music Industry Says Downloading Declining · · Score: 1

    Want to sell a whole CD? Write worth-while stuff

    What do you mean by worth-while stuff? And do you have any advice on how to accomplish this writing?

  7. Re:1994 called on MySpace Organizes Sudan Fundraiser · · Score: 1

    Forget about Sudan, I feel bad for Florida. This is a disaster from which they may never be able to recover.

  8. Where is Dam Yankees? on The Top 5 Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    If the Nuge were here, he'd be up in arms!

  9. Meryl Streep - a subtle actress? on How to Become Invisible · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. She's more in the style of Edward Norton, someone who doesn't let the movie get in the way of her performance. Brian Cox and Chloe Sevigny, now those are some subtle actors.

  10. Re:A note to moderators on Teachers Union Opposes Virtual K-8 Charter School · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While it not only confuses me (less aborted babies = more kids in school = more teaching jobs)

    Try thinking of it this way, though
    (less aborted babies = more kids in school = larger class sizes = less attention paid to individual students = decreased teaching efficiency)

    or

    (less aborted babies = more unwanted kids = more neglected kids = more kids with learning problems = more disruptive kids = worse conditions in the classroom)

  11. you know what else is free? on Students Skip College Music Services · · Score: 1

    Herpes. College students don't want that either.

  12. Post your favorite Booger line on 'Revenge of the Nerds' Remake in the Works · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've been out combing the high schools all day!

    On a serious note, Curtis "Booger" Armstrong does fine voiceover work on Stroker & Hoop.

  13. Re:best fake quote ever ... on Your Digital Inheritance? · · Score: 1

    I would freak out if I had to look down (or up) after death and watch my mother in law clean out my wife

    Are you saying you would freak because you missed the opportunity for a hot, pseudo-incestuous 3-way?

  14. singing AND the bathroom on Playing the World From a Basement · · Score: 1

    I think Chuck Berry's eyes just opened a wide as they can.

  15. but on the plus side.. on The Ultimate Star Trek Collection · · Score: 1

    it does come with a lifetime supply of condoms (that would be necessary for someone buying this set).

  16. Re:And Spielburg to Direct... on Peter Jackson to Executive Produce Halo Movie · · Score: 2, Funny

    If Speilberg directed Pong, the two paddles would be parents and the square would br more drawn to the mother paddle, because the father would be emotionally distant. In the end, the little square breaks free of the smothering of its parents and learns to live & love again.

  17. an alternate theory on Oregon Is Growing A Mystery Bulge · · Score: 5, Funny

    The U.S. hit puberty and Oregon got the country's first zit

  18. the first one to ever mistake? i don't know on Locked-Out Journalists Turn To Podcasting · · Score: 1

    One time i tried to plant a camping tent on gravel.

  19. $30 dollars or more? I don't think so. on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    I'm just curious, where is going to the movies going to cost 30 dollars

    I live in upstate new york, and its 9.75 for a ticket at the mall. I think this is about normal for giant multiplexes, but lets say that it's low and that a ticket costs 15. What theater is going to charge 10 bucks for popcorn, and 5 for a drink? The most expensive I've ever seen is 6.75 for popcorn and 3.50 for a drink and those came with free refills.

  20. Re:Free Boxes on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think UPS' slogan says it all: "what can brown do for you?"

  21. Re:Not #2 yet, and no chance for #1 on March of the Penguins Tops Box Offices · · Score: 1

    the parent is modded funny, but Jackass is a documentary. No scripts, no actors, no cgi. Its a chronicle of bored, white, middle-class, suburban youth, and what they do.

  22. nice design, but... on Carmack's Throatless Rocket Engine · · Score: 1

    can it run doom3?

  23. for the amount the person paid on Original Lightsaber Goes For 3x Expectations · · Score: 1

    it should have been
    dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-da-dumb-dumb-da-dumb

  24. this seems more like an artist problem on Challenging Music Downloading Myths · · Score: 1

    What bands/artists are you listening to that are only capable of making one good song per album?

    This seems more like a problem with the artist and/or the listener. All the CDs I've bought don't contain a lot of filler.

  25. Re:Ahh on Japan Wants to Build 10 Petaflop Supercomputer · · Score: 5, Funny

    they still won't be able to run doom3, though
