Well, to be fair, you can't really compare the acting- and directing-caliber of Kurosawa's films to Lucas'. It's like comparing a supernova to a regular old star. Let's face it, without the flashy lightsaber fights, there's not a whole lot to the prequels at all, and the protracted Vader/Luke battle at the end of RotJ…

100% agreed. These sort of wide-implication, non-treatment-specific investigations (much like the Human Genome Project) are scientific inquiries which absolutely should (nay, must) be publicly-funded.

Given that this is what the Jedi were indeed modeled on, it's surprising that they don't. I guess the whole jumping-flipping-twisting-slashing to dramatic music is more "exciting" for the average movie-goer, though.

No mention of Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage being replaced by Warwick Davis for season 4? =)

Oh gods, the awful, it burns... thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster that this... thing never got filmed. It makes The Phantom Menace look like a bloody masterpiece.

Thanks, Dr. Doctor! You got here just in time to save the day! =)

What about plastic #7 that's "TRITAN BPA free?" *looks skeptically water bottle*

I think there's no way I'm going to be able to watch this show. No matter how good it might end up being (if that's even possible) I'm going to be disappointed that it's not Automata.

From what I understand, we only emit infrared in the "far-infrared" spectrum (very low wavelengths) whereas the image was probably taken in the "near-infrared" (in other words, just barely below visible-light range).

So, are there gonna be two "types" or "levels" of robot cops? The mannequin-esque street cops and then the more advanced "detective" ones...?

That's a really good point. Even a (relatively) tiny change in our frame of reference for c would have a pretty major impact when scaled up to universal size, if I understand such things correctly. A difference of only a few percentage points could pretty dramatically alter such estimates, and if it's even more than…

My thoughts exactly.

You need to change your W-4 deductions, my friend. Then you too could get a check from the IRS, rather than sending them one.

"In fact, when The Matrix first came out, (the human battery deal) seemed like the single crummiest, laziest, most awful dimwitted idea in the entire history of science fiction. But it turned out to be true!" - "Near Death Wish", Futurama

There's also this one.

Right now my greatest fear is that the big reveal at the end is that Cumberbatch is playing Khan, after all this work setting him up as an independent and entirely original villain.

"WOW" was my first reaction as well. That is an excellent trailer.

Is it sad that some part of me was hoping that they were similar like clones? Like, a discovery of squid parthenogenesis and that there's really only multiple instances of just one ancestral squid... see, that would be both cool and creepy. =)

This thought occurred to me as well.
