Same happened with Contact, I guess. Pretty sure it was available to stream in December, now it’s coming back.

Bad Company 2 was pretty solid at release, at least on PS3. In fact I never ran into any real bugs even in the PS3 beta, certainly nothing close to the dumpster fire that was the Battlefield 3 beta + first few months. BC1 I didn’t get around to until a few months after release, but by then it was also solid on PS3.

I have a lot of love for that movie. Yes, it’s loud and dumb, and the characters are one-note. But they’re such likable one-note characters, and the movie is such fun. It doesn’t overstay its welcome the way Emmerich’s later disaster epics have.

Wow. I love Mounds, but that shot makes them look like the kind of candy a xenomorph would eat.

Yes, they are breaking it up. http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/04/10/game-of-thrones-renewed-3/

You're welcome.

I suppose I really should give thanks this year that I live in the ridiculously liberal part of western Massachusetts. I'm not even really liberal but I'd prefer to live among them than barely-literate reactionaries.

Although I don't think 'Formics' was ever mentioned in Ender's Game; I'm pretty sure the term first showed up in Ender's Shadow and its sequels.

In the book it seems to have as much to do with the specific personality of the alien inhabiting the girl as it has to do with the girl's personality, and (minor spoiler) there are other female hosts who don't resist the aliens and male hosts who do.

Agreed, lot of great moments but not one of the best episodes so far.

Before I realized the beginning action sequence was a sim, I thought the radiation exposure was going to cause his scars.

I still think most of the mass armies in LOTR look pretty decent (and were groundbreaking at the time), but the swarming army of the dead? Yeaah...

Signs lost its power to scare me after the first viewing. In the final scene in daylight, up close, the alien is just not that threatening looking. The "Can I have a glass of water", alien caught on camera, and baby monitor scenes are really scary on a first viewing though, that movie builds up suspense really well in

I'm 26 and I forget what I came into a room for all the time...

This episode was much better than the 3rd, possibly better than the 2nd. The only nitpick I had was: why did the SEALs bother getting the morphine back from Serrat? Doesn't the Colorado's infirmary have a decent stock? And I get that King doesn't want Grace hanging around his injured buddy, but why would that stop him

Night Watch is one of my favorite Discworld books, but it would be one of the last ones I'd choose to cheer someone up. It's pretty dark throughout (very much an Earn Your Happy Ending), and is much more focused on telling a serious story than on humor. I love the book, but for cheering up I'd recommend Guards!

To add to the other replies, they do have towed radio buoys on at least some subs, but those could potentially be spotted by planes or surface ships. They can use VLF and ELF radio to communicate at depth without a buoy (presumably how they received the original fire orders in the first place), but those have very low

The Dark Knight? I think that fits your criteria.

Yeah fortunately Shia left the project when Caruso did. Ideally, IMO, we'd get Jake Gyllenhaal as Yorick (before he gets too old to be believably in his 20s), Gina Torres as 355, and Joss Whedon directing, but at least one of those things is seriously unlikely.
