Dad: Did you see that movie, Avatar?
Me: I saw it last week.
Dad: What's so special about it?
Me: It's in 3D.
Dad: 3D?
Me: Yeah. You wear glasses and the picture is three dimensional.
Dad: They make you wear glasses?
Me: Yes.
Dad: ....I don't feel comfortable with that.

Arkham Asylum 2 Trailer

The Knicks’ defense was at it’s peak for three quarters as they pushed a 93-84 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers at the Garden last night. The Knicks have now three games into a winning streak.
