In Photos: Signs from the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear | Posted | Na... The performances were only part of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday afternoon. Rally attendees came prepared with homemade signs — some purely political, but most in keeping with the event’s satirical nature — which the Post‘s Jonathan Kay and Chris Boutet dutifully captured.

Artist of the week: T. K. Miller Tim lives in Colorado, US, and sculpts various and sundry items for Sideshow Collectibles, including many of the Adam Hughes’ line of comiquettes, portraits for McFarlane Design Group, and hot flossy babes for Bowen Designs. Pages: 1 2 6 Supervillains From History That Make The Joker Look Subtle Look, we're not so far gone that we can't tell the difference between comics and reality. Fiction demands a certain suspension of disbelief, because real-life bad guys understand that dry, drawn-out political subterfuge is much cheaper and more effective than a clone army. Then, occasionally, some crackpot leaps straight off the pages into our world. These are men with brazen, insane and often ridiculous plans for world domination that grant him comic book supervillain status. Like ... First of all, look at him: Out of frame, he's cradling a white Persian cat. You could fill a whole article about real-life supervillains from Nazi Germany, but if we're to pick just one to fill our Nazi quota for this article, we're taking Otto Skorzeny, and not just because he looks like every single Bond villain who ever existed. Picture this guy goose-stepping out to "Horst Wessel Lied." But Skorzeny's career as a lone-gun supervillain didn't begin until after the war. Skorzeny didn't even stop there.
Cartoons Facing Mental Disorder | New Movies Review Trailer and More When we think about cartoons we usually think of funny and happy moments. They make us laugh, give us pleasure and joy that New Movies does not have. But how would it be if a grave issue like mental disorder is depicted through cartoons? TR Contest: Inappropriate Nerdy Pillow Talk I'M SO GOING TO REGRET THIS. But ever since it was discussed in the comments earlier this week, I can't get the idea out of my head; I might as well use it and face the consequences. This week's contest is Inappropriate Nerdy Pillow Talk, which is to say Horrible, Nerdy Things to Say During Sex. Obviously, there are many, many horrible things to say during sex, which is why these entries all have to be nerdy -- direct movie quotes, or series references, or something that should appall your partner, even if he/she is a nerd him/herself. All I can think of at the moment, personally, is the scene from Scorsese's After Hours, where Rosanna Arquette tells Griffin Dunne about a guy who screamed "SURRENDER DOROTHY" every time he came, but I wouldn't count that as quite nerdy enough for this contest (it is awesomely horrible, though). So have at it. More links from around the web!
