My 99 Taurus is the same way, but I got a third party stereo installed regardless. They probably make climate control consoles designed for third party stereo systems for your car as well. I think I had to pay a little extra on the installation of the unit because of the extra part, but it's still a possibility if you…

Yep. Just got a FM transmitter myself a few weeks back and its great. Ideally, I would like a stereo system with bluetooth and an auxiliary jack, but that would cost me a great deal more. I suppose I could take my stereo out and hack in a switch and a 1/8th inch female end, but that would be a lot of work, would…

They came shortly after that.

A few have mentioned the heatvision being a laser and reflecting it off of a mirror answer, but that doesn't explain the hair on his head.

Even without going into the "superdickery" silver age nonsense, Superman has a long history of being kind of a dick. Go read Action Comics #1. Either the old one or the new one. Both have a dickish Superman.

Not entirely true. Capes used to be normal attire for a long stretch of human civilization and stories of superpowered men or demigods have as well. Superman codified the tropes of the sueprhero, but all the individual parts had existed before, sometimes in combinations you may not expect. Zorro is an example of a…

The Two-Face effect was done digitally. Not make-up.

This prototype isn't the first example of simple tablet PC design either anyway. There were tablet PCs back in the 90s, they just weren't popular at all.

I don't think I could make a flying-tank-car on that budget. I probably couldn't even make a jumping-tank-car that transforms into a motorcycle on that budget.

That presumes that the people would believe Batman to be willing to steal millions of dollars in equipment.

Memento is canon with the Batman films.

Yup. It's the standard protagonist "going native" story. Except in space. With blue cat people.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of standards requiring licensing. It'd be nice if certain things could be defined as industry standards and they would just be openly available for use.

Or you could just invest in an ecosystem that isn't quite so locked down. There are cross-platform options available that play nice with both Apple and Android devices. I personally don't think it makes any sense to pay money for a download of something when you can't take that download and easily play it on any…

Audiophilia works almost entirely on placebo effect. There is a threshold wherein quality can be determined and people do have varying thresholds, but there is a limit and that limit is far below what most people believe it to be....

You're completely right on all counts, but if you're serious about it, I think it might be good for you to look into constant height front projection. In that case, the necessary scaling that comes with zooming and cropping the hardcoded matte can be done with lenses after projection rather than with digital scaling…

Actually, there's no such thing as anamorphic 21:9 content. DVDs encode anamorphic at 16:9 and ONLY 16:9. The way they achieve this is by using the same exact number of pixels as DVD's standard 4:3 frame but they tag the encode so that the player knows to stretch the image horizontally so that the image can be…

If I ever get to have my dream home theater setup, I think this is exactly how I'll handle it. Seems the easiest answer to the problem of ACTUALLY silencing (rather than just quieting), and assuming it's an option, cheap too.

Marvel Studios has made a name for themselves for making quality films based on comic properties. Attach an amazing trailer to, say, Iron Man 3, pimp the Marvel brand on it, and it could still be hugely successful. I mean, it's not like we're talking about Guardians of the Galaxy. That crap could never be successful.

There's no such thing as originality. You mention Inception and Avatar, but they feature elements common to other stories. Inception is, at its core, a heist movie, and Avatar has the same core storyline common to MANY stories, notably Pocahontas and Dances with Wolves (see: "Going native" at Tvtropes...). All…
