Yeah, but the Brontasaurus still really was a big paleontology mistake.
I have friends who have an adorable 18 month old who likes to pull books off the shelf and bring them to anyone who is around to have them read to her. She brought me a Dinosaurs book (I think it was Little Golden book, but I'm not sure), so I was reading it to her. One of the dinosaurs was teh Brontosaurus, so I had to explain to her that it was a mistake, and then point out to her that the Tyrannosaurus Rexes were pictured with the wrong posture. She kept trying to turn the pages. I don't think she absorbed it.
Oh hey, Anthony LaPaglia was on Letterman last night, and he was hilarious, once he got done describing his hip-replacement surgery in great detail. He was talking about how when they were shooting Winter Solstice, they just borrowed neighbors' houses for "trailers," and he'd always end up in some kid's bedroom. One time the kid had an X-Men poster on the ceiling, so he always felt like Hugh Jackman was mocking him.
Oddly, that reminded me of a comic scan I just read where Wolverine is "inexplicably" a fan of the Boy From Oz musical.
It is funnier than the bit where Storm put on a black wig and was mistaken for Halle Berry.
It's a good movie, but still....

That's funny. I like the meta.
They haven't made Storm look like Halle Berry, have they? Because she so does not.
Storm looks like a million different things (very inconsistently drawn), but she's no more Halle than before. Which made it funny to think that Storm's a crap Halle, Halle's a crap Storm.
Comic-OC thought: I really want to know who was arguing which side in the great
Storm/Cyclops
smackdown. I want to know what the writers think, as well as the characters.
So we can blame the Danish.
OTOH, they gave us, well, danish. Or at least the name for it.
I'd cut them a little slack.

Was it their idea to put cream cheese in the danish? If so, I'll love them forever.
OTOH, they gave us, well, danish. Or at least the name for it.
See, I think that it was all a plot to make the American populace fat. Blame The Danish!!
Blame The Danish!!
But we don't blame anyone else for making yummy foods...
