Except for the piano miking, that's pretty much as good as anything needs to be.

I've already converted all the links on The House of Commentaries to the new form. However, I notice this glitch: if you click on a movie then click on its poster, you indeed get the permalink. But if you then click on another poster (or pretty much anything else), the URL doesn't change to the new permalink. This will inevitably lead surfers to sometimes link to the wrong commentary.

I say defeating the ancient HTML URL structure only results in heartache.

Some substances need to be controlled because they are severely addictive, because addiction takes away the free will that allows you to exercise good judgment and remain a responsible and productive member of society. It's one thing to be stoned for a couple of hours in a location of your choosing; it's something else to be sober but desperate for a fix and willing to do anything.

Anything that is not especially addictive—including marijuana and alcohol—should be legal. Anything that is highly addictive—including Oxycontin, cocaine, and heroin—should be illegal.

I'm flexible about nicotine on principle because hardly anybody ever went in for prostitution or armed robbery to get cigarettes, but as a product you sell to consumers that takes away their ability to choose not consume it, it's a comically bad product that amounts to purposeful fraud.

Ha ha ha! I'll buy that. But it can't be gladiatorial battles every time. The monster needs to have a little back story and a lair (the bonus there is that you can make up your own monsters and not be limited to folklore). And then you could sometimes have guest warriors help take down the particularly nasty ones.

Maybe one monster is dragged into the arena, but the next has to be lured out of its cave to fight in an open field. Another has to be gone after in its underground labyrinth. A werewolf might be disguised among guests at a party and have to be discovered and fought in the virtual mansion. A ruins, a factory, inside a car, under water—the possibilities are endless. Maybe he has to fight a minotaur in a china shop!

Oh, and the monster has to win sometimes. Rematch!

Aw yeah. Timothy Hutton is all "You loved Brain Bug more than me!" and Mary Tyler Moore is all "Yeah! Why can't you be more like Brain Bug!?" and Judd Hirsch is like "M.I. does the dying. Fleet just does the flying."
