I've always wanted Tigra to be a fun-loving character whose cat-like curiosity gets her into interesting predicaments (including fighting monsters). I'm not sure what Marvel's take on her is. Bad-luck slut, maybe? I haven't truly kept up with what's happening with her lately. I suspect I don't want to know.
--Kerry Callen, perfectly illustrating why he should be writing and drawing a Tigra comic.
It's bad enough that Americans have to wait a few weeks or months to watch Doctor Who episodes on BBC America after they've aired in the United Kingdom on BBC One...
--SCI FI Wire, not seeing the irony in that that's exactly how it used to be when Doctor Who was on their damn channel.
It's good to encourage physical activity, but NOT if the purpose of encouraging it is to try to make people thinner. Then it's counter-productive. People will be healthier if they're more active and don't smoke and if they avoid eating disordered behavior (like dieting in particular) ... The idea that people pursue thinness primarily for health reasons is laughable.
--Paul Campos, the author of The Obesity Myth, on the difference between fitness and thinness. As a fat dude, I found the whole interview absolutely fascinating. (Incidentally, I've been getting this message from other health professionals as well. Physical activity as its own reward is a lesson I'm finally starting to internalize.)
No thank you, Ridley. Why don't you just go ahead and work on a prequel to your Monopoly film instead. Tell us how Uncle Moneybags met the dog and thimble.
--Topless Robot, on why the proposed prequel to Alien is actually a pretty horrible idea.
