I'd assume we're talking about a full resurrection. No one wants Zombie Ray Charles lurching around, it would be kinda gross. Although Janis Joplin and Elvis might be in pretty good shape, I'm sure they had plenty of preservatives in them when they passed...

Ella Fitzgerald. No doubts. She was a hell of a lady and an amazing singer. And her duets with Louis Armstrong... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2oEmPP5dTM EDIT: My father would beat a path back from the Summerlands to whoop me if I didn't mention Ray Charles. Because he was awesome, too.

You keep pointing out how the popular culture insults men, too. And it does. What are you doing about it? Are you writing to companies to protest their depictions of men in their commercials (I do this when I see negative portrayals of women)? Are you doing anything to combat the culture that...

I don't have exact figures on layoffs, but the impression I've gotten is that they were pretty evenly split (because of retail job loss - most retail jobs are held by women). And I am not talking about modern slavery, horrible as it it, I'm speaking of historical slavery in America. Which was...

a) My mistake, I assumed. Many apologies. b) Not whining. Remembering history is half of not allowing it to be repeated. I remember what happened on the Trail of Tears because I know people who lost family there. As a country, America needs to remember these things because, well... we have a...

Okay, you have a perfect example of how the patriarchy hurts men, too. You find the concept that you can't control yourself around a woman to be offensive, yes? And yet this line of logic also tells women that since men are unable to control their dicks, it's our responsibility to control men's...

Some perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vr_vKsk_h8 The relevant part: Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't...

I'm so sorry you find history so hard to deal with. Maybe the Cherokee should just shut up about the Trail of Tears - after all, it annoys your precious feelings to be reminded of what was done by your country. Hey, and union activists should just shut their traps about the Triangle Shirtwaist...

You want a day celebrating your masculinity? How about every single fucking day? Nearly all high offices in government and corporations (in America, at least) are held by men. Men are getting 99% of new jobs during this 'recovery'. A woman's chances of being raped or sexually abused in America...

EDIT: off topic and not very nice. going to bed now.

Ah, yes. I forgot, Feminism is an Evil Monolith. All Feminists want... something. Here's the deal: Not all feminists are alike. Very few actually hate all men and everything men do. Many feminists distrust men (see Schrodinger's Rapist...

And yet here I am, a feminist and a gamer. According to your logic, I should hate myself, right? Am I like one of those starburst contradictions? Edit: Because I'm too damn tired to format properly.

Awesome review, looking forward to seeing the movie. Since you like Holmes so much, may I make a book suggestion? It's a series by Laurie R King and the first book is called The Beekeeper's Apprentice. The books are set later in Holmes' life, during the Great war and the twenties, and...
