]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @fabescore: Was that really the bank managers name? I totally missed that. That'd be cool.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Now You Have an Even Better Excuse to Snarf Ritalin]]> Yeah, maybe Restless Leg Syndrome is just and evolutionary hiccup before we attain Super Jumping legs.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Now You Have an Even Better Excuse to Snarf Ritalin]]> Or a 4th option that, what is a diagnosis for a handful of people, is an excuse for millions of others.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @Plague: Well when the brother says he's dead then fine, he's dead. Let's give him his own movie too.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @Plague: Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to sit in the theater and read the shooting script as I watched the movie. Maybe I should have coffee with Nolan and see what his notes are as well. Or maybe I should take films at face value. Plus does a broken neck or back mean you're dead? Someone should tell Bane that.

@Damage: You're comment gives me chills, but I hope his appearance wouldn't lead to a cold shoulder from the viewing public. It would be ice to see him in a film.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @Plague: You're totally right. Harvey Dent is dead. Two Face is alive. Too bad they're covering for a "dead man".

I say Killer Croc. It'll be a race between Spiderman and Batman to see who can pull of a giant man reptile the most realistically.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @Plague: See but you see them as covering for a villain, I see them as covering for a friend who had lost his mind and didn't know what he was doing out of grief. Batman even said he was taking the blame for the murders that Two-Face did so I don't see how it's a stretch (even less so) for them to not make their sad friend/white knight get paraded around the public as a tarnished figure.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @capntim: @iJake: I'd love him treating riddler as some rich kid/aristocrat who's basically being a copy-cat Joker for fun rather than a psychotic drive to do so. Like a Bret Easton Ellis character only funny.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @capntim: Catwoman, now that his ladyfriend is dead and his heart is broken.

I get you about the hokey/sci-fi things, but they did manage to pull of Ras Al-Guhl way better than I expected. And without that whole immortal thing.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @Plague: It wouldn't be the first plothole in these films. Like leaving Joker in the party, and how Joker managed to pack a full hospital full of explosives without anyone noticing.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @iJake: Again, the best thing Nolan did was not kill the badguys. As for balls and killing, I'd say offing the main love interest halfway through was pretty ballsey.
Finally there was a comic movie, Batman especially, where they nailed home the point of a character like Batman is that he is constantly and forever battling mirrors of his psyche because he refuses to kill them. I thought it was a point they drove home pretty strongly in this film.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> @Plague: SPOILER STUFF Dude, the whole ending was about them covering for their friend and his honor. The least thing they could do would be to stick him in some dark hole of the medical ward of Arkham.

It's comics man, you should know of all people that unless they really really over the top show you the death and pursuant events (ahem even with Gordon's in this one especially proving the point) then there is no guarantee that they're dead. A 2 story fall onto soft gravel and then no close up of the body?! Not Dead. Dead is falling from the top of cathederal while they slowly zoom into your corpse as your laughing box goes off.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Just Call Harvey Dent The Comeback Kid]]> Did people actually think he was dead?

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Syd Mead Tells All About the "Erotic Machine" that Got Cut from Bladerunner]]> @Plague: Me three, but I just wish more of it had stuck.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on William S Preston, Esq, To Direct Ben 10 Live-Action Movie]]> @dzynz: Oh I'd take it if they did it, but I'd much rather have a cartoon.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Shia The Last Man In 2010?]]> @JennaW, Internet Tough Girl: Well nobody who speaks German could be evil, the same goes doubly for French!!!

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on William S Preston, Esq, To Direct Ben 10 Live-Action Movie]]> Well "Freaked" had it's charms.

But Graeme.. a LIVE ACTION Venture Bros?! Do Not Want.

Full on old school animated feature or nothing else.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Gemini Division Is Like Blade Runner, But Terrible]]> @Belabras: To be fair he really didn't objectify her. Saying she'd be nothing without those BJ lips, bedroom eyes and smokin norks would be objectifying her. But I won't say that, because I actually think she can act when she wants too.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Shia The Last Man In 2010?]]> @joemono: @Dunny0, ELE Hopeful: I'm with you guys. I don't see what people hate about Shia. I can think of a million other far worse actors that could have been handed the roles hes done, Jared Padelicki comes to mind first and foremost.

And although I just this past week started reading this (I have 2 years to finish, phew) I can totally see him as Yorick.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Welcome to the Gattaca Dating Service!]]> @ManchuCandidate: Funny I thought meeting people in person and not being a selfish headcase afraid of commitment or capable of welcoming imperfection would lead you to your perfect match.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Welcome to the Gattaca Dating Service!]]> So, doing this in the name of love for profit is fine, doing this as system of government or rule of law.. evil. Gotcha.

Oh and for the record there have been people doing this genetic matching for centuries they're called Royalty and Hillbillies.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on The Argument Against ARGs]]> When I was driving down 1st ave here in Seattle and saw a bunch of sorority girls who had clearly been paid to stand on the corner in front of Pikes Market with Harvey Dent campaign signs I thought it was pretty cool.

Until I drove by and honked and they went from stupid smiles to bewilderment and looked at me like "how do you know what this is?! Are you honking at us?" which gave me just enough time to point and say something like "Your signs! Go Two-Face!" and drive off. I could see them going back to smiling with pride that someone knew what they were doing,even if they didn't. I'm just pissed I couldn't ask them for one of the signs.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Gemini Division Is Like Blade Runner, But Terrible]]> I really respect Rosario Dawson for not letting external forces ruin her career as happens to so many other beautiful talented actresses. Nope, she she said, if I'm going to wind up in Sci-Fi channel original pictures several years from now, I'm going to do it on my own damn terms!!!

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on The Superhero Paparazzi Are Doing A Public Service]]> Rob Liefeld is still around huh? how are they going to find an actor who's ankles are 1/1000th the size of their chest and rest a full foot in front of their head when standing.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on The Cure For Rampant Sequel-Itis]]> The problem with this post, and I realize I'm coming in very late in the game, is that there is nothing here that can't be said about any film. You don't have a problem with sequels, you have a problem with bad films.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on <i>Font Conference</i> Shows Your Fonts as People, and They Are Ridiculous]]> No story where Comic Sans is the Hero is a story for me.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Is Joss Whedon's Dollhouse Going the Way of Firefly?]]> @Plague: ruh roh. I wish him the best, but this show sounds tailor made to confuse the general public. Complain all you want about said General Public, but this ain't art, its commerce.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Five Ways Comic-Con Has the Power to Make or Break Reputations]]> @Smeagol92055: Yeah, Vice is going to do a whole issue devoted to Comic-con.

I Terry Richardson is going to a do a spread where they point their finger and snicker at the Full Figured nerdy girls wearing Princess Leia outfits.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Faceless People Find Personality In A Crap Car]]> Say what you will about the Ad Campaign, but thats a pretty sharp looking car. I'd take 50000 of those on the streets over more Priuses, the Sweatpants of the Automotive world.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Five Ways Comic-Con Has the Power to Make or Break Reputations]]> @Smeagol92055: I didn't realize they made support hose for the top of the body now.

And ladies... For the record you could look like Jabba the Hut (this girl is quite lovely btw) and dressing in a Slave Girl outfit gets you a free pass on the hottness scale right to a full 10.

Also... Other things that up the hottness factor a couple points... Riding a motorcycle, Driving a Muscle car, and skateboarding.

And sorry, all this talk of McLuhan forced me to post this...

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Which Technological Invention Changed the World?]]> @russdanger: Unless we evolved and our bodies adapted to a wider range of temperatures, in which case you could say that clothing has held back society. I know I often feel held back by stupid clothes.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Which Technological Invention Changed the World?]]> @Pope John Peeps II: Boo ya!!!

And he's infallible.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Which Technological Invention Changed the World?]]> @corpore-metal: It doesn't matter anyways, because in this scenario Plow wins by default because the Printing Press was less important than Warp Drive. Warp Drive being a fictional creation, fiction being irrelevant without the Printing Press.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Which Technological Invention Changed the World?]]> @Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege: Plow, not till, sorry. till the soil, blah blah blah.

boogers and farts.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Now You Can Major in Cult Movie Studies]]> @Belabras: I had that at birth, I don't need a degree for that.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Which Technological Invention Changed the World?]]> @Belabras: Which someone invented. And before that?

@MonkeyT: And how would that many people have learned the skills to mass produce and distribute said food without the knowledge passed throught society with books and their extensions.

You can grow food without a till (it's harder, but very possible) but you can't reach the level society is at now without mass distribution of information.

And besides, I just said that to be annoying. Something I learned from the printed word.

]]> <![CDATA[Garrison Dean, Mr. Privilege commented on Which Technological Invention Changed the World?]]> @The Blow Leprechaun: What preceded the Screw Driver then? The shinbone of an eagle that helped with twisty misformed nails?

That's not to say I haven't discovered a few tools. Like my freshmen year roommate.
