Your Stupid Minds! Stupid! Stupid!

Humor Me, and Watch This Basketball Scene from Catwoman

by Susana Polo | 4:32 pm, May 1st, 2013

Okay, I admit. I haven’t seen Catwoman. I know that for proper purposes of legitimacy, people are supposed to see a thing before they talk about how bad it is, but come on. This movie came out before I started college and ever knew that I would ever have to back up my opinions on movies for more than my own friends, let alone the entire internet. And now? Now you couldn’t pay me to watch Catwoman. I could be watching The Dark Knight Rises instead.

So that’s how I didn’t know that the movie contained this absolutely hilarious train wreck of a scene. Which is the weirder part? Grown adults apparently purposefully turning a game of one-on-one in to thinly veiled physical sexual innuendo in full view of children? That a child would ask two grown adults to play basketball for him instead of with him? Thank you, MTV Movies and Reddit, for making sure that I knew about this.

Weird Science Is Going To Get An Edgy, R-Rated Remake (Groan)

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:02 pm, April 18th, 2013

Yup, John Hughes’ Weird Science is the next classic 80s film to get the remake treatment.

Facebook Possibly to Introduce Autoplay Ads; It’s Almost Like They’re Asking Us to Delete Our Accounts

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:45 pm, February 18th, 2013

Well now. Usually when we hear about something whacktastic Facebook has done it’s related to their ever-present disregard for privacy. I almost appreciate how they’re giving Facebook users a nice variety of reasons to delete their accounts. Autoplay ads? Really, Facebook? Not cool.

There’s A Sequel To Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Twins On The Way And That’s Not The Worst Part

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:48 am, November 15th, 2012

Apparently the news of this film came out earlier this year. We either didn’t see it or we blacked out when we heard it. Either way, here we are. A sequel to the 1988 comedy Twins, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito is getting a sequel. The two leads will return. It will be called Triplets. Eddie Murphy will play their new lost brother from the same mother. Previously, it wasn’t certain this was happening but now they’ve got a writer attached so prepare yourself in whatever way you feel necessary. I’m going to pull out my zombie apocalypse kit.

Scientist Confirms Your Suspicions: Humans Really Are Getting Dumber

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:45 pm, November 14th, 2012

OK all you “those kids today!” naysayers, it appears that you’re at least partially right about the decline of humanity. A study by Stanford University geneticist Gerald Crabtree has found that humanity is getting stupider… albeit very, very gradually. Human intelligence peaked about 2,000 years ago, says Crabtree, and we’ve been on the slow train to Stupidville ever since.

Moby Dick in Space. Is an Actual Thing. That is Happening

by Susana Polo | 4:15 pm, October 3rd, 2012

Sadly, it probably won’t involve Superboy or the Legion of Superheroes, or any other trappings of Golden Age DC Comics.

But I’m guessing it’ll involve a bionic limb.

Oh, Joy! Apparently Robots Are Subject to Sexism, Too

by Alanna Bennett | 2:00 pm, August 24th, 2012

Sometimes (fine, oftentimes), the world makes it abundantly clear that the issue of sexist thought is so deeply ingrained in the heads of us humans that it might still take another few millenia to sink in. It’s days like these when we want to repeatedly hit our heads against concrete.

By the time this far-off time actually takes place, we’ll surely be under the regime of our robot overlords. But even the robots can’t catch a break: They’re suffering from human sexism, too.

This Person Let Himself Be Blindfolded While He Got a Twilight Tattoo, So It’s Covered Up Now

by Jamie Frevele | 3:47 pm, April 13th, 2012

Okay, so, as the resident heavily-tattooed lady at The Mary Sue (Jill sports a couple, I sport over 20), stories about geek tattoos elicit all kinds of reactions from me. Oftentimes, my reaction is joyous, because there is nothing more beautiful than waving one’s geek flag in the form of a gorgeous, well-thought-out work of body art. However this story did not make me feel joy. It made me feel annoyed. At a wasted opportunity. And at carelessness. Tattoos are a commitment, and this person got the tattoo above, of Edward Cullen from Twilight, while blindfolded, on a bet. The good news is that it was covered up with something spectacularly geeky and far superior. The bad news is that this happened in the first place.

Want To Stop DC Comics From Making The Watchmen Prequel? There’s A Petition For That.

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:15 pm, December 28th, 2011

Have you heard about DC Comics publishing another Watchmen book? Call it a Watchmen prequel, call it Watchmen 2 but it’s been rumored for a while and seems to be finally coming to fruition. Thanks in part to some leaked art from the project, apparently codenamed “Panic Room,” a petition has surfaced trying to end the comic full-stop. And no, the first name on the petition is not Alan Moore.

It’s Going to Be a Very Bloody Christmas When Siri Loses Control [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 11:27 am, December 24th, 2011

No one thought she’d be any trouble, but one of this year’s most popular Christmas gifts could develop a mind of her own and wreak havoc on all of our joy. At least, this is how Rooster Teeth imagines the beginning of the robot revolution.
