How the hell do you have a G.I. Joe Movie without the Baroness?
On the plus side it does have ninjas, which are much cooler than zombies any day of the week.

RWN: Former Staffer of He With Two First Names Speaks of His Experiences
Posted: December 26, 2011 by doubleplusundead in GOP FAILInteresting insider’s article, Eric at least used to comment at Hotair quite a bit, and always seemed decent enough.
LOL at the Paultards white knighting for America’s Greatest Patriot(TM) in RWNs comments.
Why have I not heard of such a creature’s existence? Â Not that I’d buy one, I’m not big on the tacticool stuff, but I should have heard of this pen at least. Â And yes, my Pelikan M1000 looks big enough to bludgeon someone to death, but I wouldn’t try it. Â My SOG Twitch II will have to suffice for hand-to-hand.
I have read that there’s no cartridge converter, which is a big minus for me, as I like mah purty colors and bottles of ink. Â Yes you can do a syringe fill on cartridges, but meh, meh I say! Â I wonder if there’s a cartridge converter available for them.
Peter Thiel, a founder of PayPal opines science fiction has collapsed:
One way you can describe the collapse of the idea of the future is the collapse of science fiction. Now it’s either about technology that doesn’t work or about technology that’s used in bad ways. The anthology of the top twenty-five sci-fi stories in 1970 was, like, ‘Me and my friend the robot went for a walk on the moon,’ and in 2008 it was, like, ‘The galaxy is run by a fundamentalist Islamic confederacy, and there are people who are hunting planets and killing them for fun.’
After thinking about it a bit I had to agree. With very few exceptions (John Ringo for one) it seems that most science fiction has devolved into dystopian, anti-technological screeds. No one holds out any hope for the future. It’s one of the reasons that my reading of science fiction has decreased drastically over the past few years. Well that and the fact that all anyone writes anymore is cheap vampire fiction that gets stuffed into the Sci-Fi section at the bookstore. Bastards!! Anne Rice, Charlene Harris, and Stephanie Meyers should all be drawn and quartered on the steps of the US Capitol to serve as a warning to others who would inflict this torture upon us, but I digress. Anyway you get my point; hopefully some talented writer will come to the same conclusion and start churning out some pages.

Is the highest form of intertubes humor.
Via Yourish we find this thread on The Hobbit trailer.
The first comment
Yawwwn, sequelitis strikes again.
Hey Hollywood, how long’d it take you to come up with yet another unnecessary backstory?! Do we really need to go with Frodo’s dad on his quest to find the ring?
I bet they’ll dumb it down and make it all kiddy too. Hard R or I ain’t watchin!
How much you wanna bet they’ll figure out a way to shoehorn half-a-dozen giant spiders to compete with the one they had in LOTR2.
The responses are hilarious. Some get the humor, some get all upset.
I love satire trolling. It’s not as easy now as it was say 10 years ago because no matter how ridiculous you think you’re being, there’s some nitwit out there who’s even more stupid. But a good satire troll is still high-larious.
Merry Christmas everyone!
