There was an old Captain America comic where the Red Skull had a glass floor in his dining room so he could look down on the torture chamber underneath.

May be urban legend, but the story is that 'Stranger In A Strange Land,' by Robert Heinlein has been optioned more than any other book, and earned the writer more from options than from book sales. It came out in 1961, and was last optioned by SyFy network in 2016. David Bowie tried to make it, and ended up taking elements of it in 'The Man Who Fell To earth.'

Best Served Cold

Took me a minute to remember the plot. I hope they can do it justice.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out 'Blue Eye Samurai' on Netflix. Not quite as cynical as Abercrombie, it has lots of swordplay, betrayals, and brave/stupid/honorable enemy.

Joe Abercrombie's 'First Law.'

There was supposed to be a 'Redshirts' movie, but it never happened.

If I were making it a movie it would be a reverse ;Quantum Leap.' You'd look the same as always to everyone else, but you'd see yourself as a woman.

Depends on how hot I look.

From Mad Magazine. You know you're old when you skip the game highlights and start videotaping painkiller ads.

I must be old because I remember Mad Magazine AND videotapes!

Young people have a left knee and a right knee. Middle aged folks have a good knee and a bad knee. Old folks have a bad knee and a worse one.

Upvote for anyone, anywhere who uses 'bloviate.'

I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that a quick meme isn't an exact representation of a much longer document.
