What went wrong with Terminator Salvation? Devin Faraci outlines the movie's doomed-from-conception original script in detail, and theorizes as to how Salvation ended up being "rewritten, piecemeal, on the set." (Spoilers, natch.)

Periodic Tables and variations thereof are a long, proud tradition at MeFi, but here's one I think (I hope) we haven't seen before: The Table of Condiments That Periodically Go Bad "We do not guarantee that any of the above information is in any way accurate." Contributions to make the chart better are welcomed here. For example: Element 40 (Sw) Sweet and Sour? That fluorescent red stuff in the jar? I've recovered some from the back of a fridge over a year after purchase and it showed no change from its original state. Also, if you cover it with a thin layer of Lime Juice (or Lemon), you can extend the life of Element 29 (Gc) Guacamole for up to 3 days and still pass it off on guests...

Superman marries Lois Lane. Superman dies. Batman's back is broken. Robin dies. Spider-Man gets married. But one storyline taboo, revealing one's secret identity, has never been broken with a major comic book character. Until now (big-time spoiler alert).

Looking forward to the Half-Blood Prince?

DO NOT READ ANYONE LOOKING FORWARD....! BIG SPOILER! So reads every post on a Harry Potter forum, where spoiler-vandals have turned after getting locked out of the official forum. I'm afraid to even link you directly, with warnings, to the spoiler -- you'll have to click through. Meanwhile, the news reports leak after leak.
