As a famous Star Trek cap’n once remarked, the world of the future, while full of Wi-Fi and advanced dentistry, has been mighty stingy about coughin’ up some flying cars. Of course, Stephen and I can collaborate on podcasts from hundreds of miles away, all my favorite music fits on a chip the size of my fingernail that I can move from device to device without adaptors or cable, and my video game system plays all the streaming episodes of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ I care to watch. Hell, the ignition key to my Chrysler has twice the computing…

The buildup to the Golden Anniversary celebration of Doctor Who has been a thrill ride of ups (Night Of The Doctor) and downs (Ninth Doctor portrayer Christopher Eccleston’s seeming disinterest in returning to the role). For my part, my biggest disappointment has been that too few of the previous Doctors are going to be appearing onscreen, a gripe that even I realize makes me sound like Veruca Salt. If the speculation on the special proves anything, it’s that every fan has a theory about and high hopes for the Big Five-Oh, which begs a query… The MS-QOTD (pronounced “gah-lee-fray”) advises…
The voting for the 7th Annual Major Spoilers Costume Contest has come to an end, and we are happy to announce that Ultron has taken the top prize! http://youtu.be/PX23kgrHyNo We’ll have more from Ultron (a.k.a. Ryan Ricks) in a few days. Congrats to everyone who entered! Everyone did a great job!
Even with all the things that the various shades of geek fight over, there seems to be one thing that unites us all: The power of pizza. Cleaning up the comic store over the years, I have probably thrown out 1000 or more greasy folded boxes, each of which has been cleaned of ever scrap of edible substance. Recently, I came across a clip of ‘The Daily Show’ wherein Jon Stewart went on one of his customary tears about the superiority of New York’s pizza over Chicago-style deep dish, likening the Windy City’s version to “casserole.” I’ve bumped into hard-core…
A few years ago, you couldn’t swing at cat without someone telling you about the First Rule of Fight Club, generally with diminishing returns. (As an aside, the best use of such a joke came when a co-worker used the rules as an explanation for why he wouldn’t be telling his significant other of a trip to the nudie bar. “The first rule of strip club,” indeed.) Of course, there are a great many other wonderfully repeatable lines throughout the movie, from “His name is Robert Paulsen” to Marla’s reminiscences about grade school all the way to the perfectly understated…
The mind is a dangerous place, and memories can lead you down the wrong path. This week, Zach gets educated on a different type of storytelling with Christopher Nolan’s Memento.

Seriously, did you see? The… And all the… Plus he came back… and the REFLECTION!!! Holy Shhhhhnikies! I’m so farklempt that I can’t even consider my usual fourth-dimensional QOTD madness. With so much of my processing facilities tied up in excitement about the upcoming anniversary, I’ve decided to fall back on the old chestnut of superhero comics: Could Superman beat up the Hulk? Could The Thing take down Funky Winkerbean? Could Galactus defeat Snoopy as The Red Baron? Whatever the matchup, it’s always fun to wonder what would happen when characters butt heads in the classic “mistaken identity” fighty-fighty that…
