An all-WWE wrestler remake of We Were Soldiers sounds great actually, giving the Viet Cong powerbombs and body slams and so forth.

Also it occurs to me that in the realms of generally easygoing lighthearted pulpy sci-fi superhero adventures about a family group led by a scientist patriarch you've also got Tom Strong, which is far from Alan Moore's most cerebral work but is carried along by a huge wealth of fun ideas.

I think Witch Hat Atelier is one of the best comics of the last decade or so specifically because it's full of warmth and joy *but also* takes the time to contrast it against serious cruelty and negligence, and emphasises that kindness requires effort, and does all that really well.

Yeah the thing with the X-Men which is basically an evergreen plot you can do with them is that there are extremely good reasons for each of them *not* to be the leader, but someone has to and Cyclops is maybe the least unsuitable, so the fate of mutantkind is in the hands of the least worst option.

I think this also ties into taking a vision of the future from the 1960s designed to be fairly reassuring to liberal suburban dads and continuing to treat it as more or less unvarnished good for going on 60 years. It's a perfectly functional premise but there are clear limitations to it.

Whomst among us hasn't been booked to play Download despite having no released music?

The thing about the football pyramid is that even if a team is dismal, being able to be relegated means they will generally bottom out somewhere they can actually function, the franchise system traps teams in hell indefinitely.

I had a look at the dehumidifier's specs, it works using Calcium Chloride tablets, so the water should be a solution containing calcium chloride. Calcium chloride is nutritious for plants in sufficiently low concentrations, something like 1 gram of CaCl₂ to 140ml of water in free draining soil.

Well, at least it makes a change from discourse over whether or not he's a sellout.
