Just got back from it and it was awesome. Loved the Shaggy's bong and how genre savvy he was. Fred was neat. I laughed at the dirt bike bit.

Still watching through Season 1. Gotta admit, the queen plays the game well. Eddard...not so much.
Littlefingers needs to have a fair bit of iron added to his diet.
Gotta wonder if Jason Momoa is getting a bit typecast. First he was Ronon on SG: A, then Conan, now a not-Mongolian. Granted, he does play the part extremely well.
Vaerys's golden crown. Nicely over the top. What did that fop think was going to happen when he threatened the Khan's...oops...Khal's unborn child?
Edit - Although, I just realized something...that whole scene had a bit of wrongness to it. The melting point of gold is close to 2000F. That was just a cooking pot of soup and those chains melted that quickly? Granted, that probably wasn't anywhere near "pure" gold, but even tin has a melting point of close to 450F. What would that stuff have to be cut with to get a melting point low enough that such a small fire in such a limited time frame to melt it? -

They had to put it in space to stop random delivery boys from getting frozen.

Dang, now I have a craving.
To the testing lab! -
Quote:And they had to build a space station to test it? They couldn't, ya know, build one on Earth and throw a monkey into it?Originally Posted by BrandX
The movie explains part of that.
*spoilers...but really not that much of a spoiler to the movie imo*
The space station was created by a huge corporation to test cryostasis. The Prisoners were pretty much free test subjects.
I mean, heck, that's like building a solar probe to test out a new popsicle flavor. Or drilling to the center of the Earth to test whether some solar cells are efficient.
What I'm getting at is that "build space station prison" seems an unnecessary step in the "test cryostasis tube" flowchart. -
Quote:Well obviously, but that doesn't make for a good action movie.Originally Posted by Rabid_M
I'm sorry, but I just can't swallow the idea behind this move.
So, you have a prison in space, for the worst criminals. Anyone that goes up there should know what might happen, I don't care who they are.
When they break free, the rest of the movie should last about 5 minutes. The person responsible for dealing with it gets the news, they arm a device, and press a big red button.
Boom. Roll credits.
If these are the "worst criminals", they should either a) have taken a bullet to the skull instead of spending untold billions putting them in cryo or whatever they do up there just so they are the future's problem or b) have a remotely detonated explosive neck collar on each inmate.
Heck, wouldn't even need an orbital prison. Just fence off Australia so they can't build boats and ship 'em all there. Let nature take care of 'em. Plus, you could put up CCTV cameras and sell it as pay-per-view as they go nuts on each other. And yes, George Carlin suggested something very similar. The only difference here is that the square states have some decent outdoorsy stuff and Australia is home to every venomous, poisonous, explosively horrible creature on the planet.

Another movie my local theater isn't getting.

No, the real fight would be between:
And:
Just supernatural enough to make the fight fair. Some regeneration and speed but not excessively so. -

He hangs around cemetaries at night with 16 year old girls. His picture should be hanging up in the post office with the tag, "Have you seen this man?". -

Only around the edges...
Lotsa interesting clips on that page. That 4:44 Last Day on Earth looks neat. I imagine at 4:45 everyone would look at each other and just agree that everyone gets a pass for what they did the previous day. >.<
Iron Sky looks EPIC. Nazis from the Moon with a parody President Palin and space zeppelins.
Exit Humanity made me think Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare DLC.
Behemoth looks like a SciFi Saturday movie, but it has Nathan Stark, so...awesome.
Heartless has both Mickey AND Benjen! -
I don't get HBO, so I have to watch the dvds. Saw the first episode on a free preview weekend, so I picked up the box set when it came out. Only up to about episode 4 so far though.
First...Tyrian is awesome.
Second...loved Daenarys verbally laying the smack down on that elfy brother. Not very intelligent to try and assault the wife of the leader of a horde of Mongolians. Especially when he has literally nothing to back up any threats.
Third...the Wall is awesome.
Fourth...I would love someone to sit Robert down and say about that cowardly little PITA Joffrey, "That kid really looks like his father..." (because I'm guessing he isn't Robert's).
Fifth...Iron for the Iron Throne!

That is nothing. There are companies in the world that make life sized "friendly" companion type dolls that people "interact" with and have been for years.

Quote:Past six months? Try the past seven years.Originally Posted by Darth_Khasei
Yeah, it does seem like there needs to be a real review of how they do these things.
However, I am more than sure they(the marketers) are using the revenue increase to justify it saying see it works look at the revenue. Of course that is just a shell game since the model change is 99.9~% responsible for that and NOT the horrific marketing plan they have been using the past six months.
The reality is the marketers have the degrees in marketing and usually win this sort of thing outright in the corporate environment regardless of how terrible the plan LOL.
Marketing has NEVER been one of the strong suits for this game. What it seems to me is, is that Marketing is more than willing to tell the devs what they can't say, but doesn't actually seem to do anything beyond that. -
Quote:There's a marketing department?Originally Posted by Darth_Khasei
Cool, but someone does need to have a sit down with the marketing department head. Send him over to Louis' Italian American Restaurant for a sec please.
...
Oh wait, are those the guys that tell the devs they can never tell us anything? If so, that's an odd usage of the word "marketing". -
I can see why Clark doesn't want anything to do with Connor. The kid's a trainwreck. No point in getting yourself tarred along with him.

Liking the Super BFFs DC Nation short. Also, the Animal Man one is hilarious. I'd watch a series based on that.

Well, apparently they are listening to the outcry for bringing back Toonami. A couple of bumps tonight were stating as much. They posted a few tweets that had the hash #BringBackToonami with a, iirc, [we are listening] at the end.
So, it seems entirely possible that we'll get more Tom. -

On the one hand, this is absolutely horrible. Everyone involved in the making of this travesty should be absolutely ashamed of themselves, IMO.
On the other...dancing Twi'lek slave girls, bikini Leia, and Lobot scratchin'.
I am conflicted. Very conflicted. -
Quote:I prefer the tried and true method of saying, "Man, your sister looked hot today.". Guaranteed to either get you some quality silent-treatment time or her going to her mother's. Sure, your stuff might end up on the lawn, but small price to pay for the chance to see the vein throbbing in her forehead.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
I personally like to act oblivious and/or stoic in the face of their frustrations and anger just to rile them up. Sometimes, it's important to comment on the least important (and possibly unrelated to their overall issue) things they say just so they know you're actually listening.
It's the passive-aggressive alternative to pulling hair.

We could just call a mulligan on this world and start over somewhere else.
