I'vebeen accused of being bitter and disillusioned with my last post, so I thought I'd spruce things up on the way into the weekend with some links to sites that make me laugh out loud.A lot of my friends think that People of WalMart is always good for a laugh, but for my money, you ... Read more

I’mtired of seeing people wave little copies of the Constitution and pretending they’re doing something significant.The Constitution is not a talisman or a magic wand. It doesn’t have mystical powers. It’s more about procedure than policy. That’s one of the main reasons I’m disgusted with Tea Party activists and Glenn Beck clones who think that ... Read more

Yearsago, Rich Little did a routine about the early lives of famous people.“Did you know that Jack Nicholson used to be… a cab driver?” he began, which allowed him to launch into a perfect Nicholson impression of the movie star snarling at a customer. He did this kind of thing for a number of other ... Read more

TheIron Man series is in danger of following the Planet of the Apes sequel model – a masterful first movie, followed by crappy sequels that can’t hold a candle to the original.Other movies that have followed this pattern:Batman (Burton version)RockyBack to the FutureGhostbusters (A third movie will suck.)The Matrix (Which, sadly, I ...

Superman:The Movie remains the gold standard of all live-action superhero flicks.It wasn’t the first. It was preceded by plenty of cheap movie serials and Adam West’s boffo Batman movie where he tries to keep from throwing a bomb on a bunch of baby ducks. It isn’t even necessarily the best – it’s just the standard ... Read more

A few diehard Moistees are registered over there, and we’ve tried to get him banned, but they would have none of it. ... Read more

WhatI love about Lang is that every time he writes Stallion Cornell, he uses an underscore to connect the two words. I had to do that when I posted at the SciFi.com board, but I've never done it anywhere else. That was at least eight years ago, but for Lang, the underscore always remains. I ... Read more

By2006, Languatron was gone.He had completely disappeared.Every board had banned him. Every respectable person on the Internet despised him. And, according to Lang, every other person on the Internet was actually an employee of Universal Studios, and they were all out to get him. So he retreated into his Fun Fortress, which could only be ... Read more

Neuromanzrchimed in on the comments yesterday to point out that the chronology of this whole story is a little messy, and he’s probably right. I’m trying to give a sense of the history with a loose eye for detail. Perhaps the most accurate history of Languatron can be found in John Larocque’s Languatron Chronicles at ... Read more
