They were waiting for our expectations to plummet.

I am a tall person. One of my tests is to sit in the back seat of the car. I don't often have to sit in the backseat of my own car but, when I need to know it's nice to know I can.

I finally realize my problem with the science versus religion debate. Part of it rests on the notion that religion is all about believing in shit that doesn't exist. There is so much more to religion than just believing in supernatural phenomenon. I would even argue that the supernatural phenomenon is more for…

I find it interesting you bring that up because there are a lot of great movies that I loved that I just can't watch again however, I wouldn't qualify them as "fun". Citizen Kane being one of them for me as well. I thought it was a great movie but, I have not desire to see it again. I don't see Citizen Kane as a "fun"…

This entire article is resting on the point the point that CGI is essential to movies because it is superior to traditional VFX in a side by side comparison. That's not the proper point. There are so many things that CGI can do that nothing else can. And that I is the point of CGI today is that there are so many…

Forest Gump had more CGI than Jurassic Park.

I'm kind of with you on this one. I don't have a problem with the ending I just wished they had worked it better from the very beginning and have Aang realize the technique on his own through his experiences throughout the series instead of having the deus ex machina at the end.

I must be part of that 0.10.

I still think that a lot of the fears of AI come from a very misanthropic and pessimistic ideal that human beings are pure evil and must be eradicated. That if anything smart enough and powerful enough like an alien civilization, ancient spirits/monsters or a super artificial intelligence ever shows up their automatic…

I think all theories are acceptable however, I wrote this a while ago about the Great American Zombie Apocalypse Fantasy:

I'm okay with this although I still think they should just create a new IP. I don't think they really need to stick to the Indiana Jones schtick. I always felt Indiana Jones would have made a great genre anyway and had a lot more room for story telling well beyond the Indy universe. Bradley Cooper could also have made…

These look really cool. I like these. Can we get more of these please?

How about the original Chinese legend of The Jade Rabbit.

I loved the animation of The Book of Kells. By the way, does that count as mythology? I know it was sort of historical.

That was awesome! I love it when people extract the art from the message.

ebooks are not only the price of a paperback but, they also come out at the same time as the hardcovers. I loved the portability of paperbacks but, always had to wait for them to come out.

I believe the real problem is the definition of the word skeptic has become fuzzy. It seems that there are a lot of people today that equate skeptic with denier that a skeptics position is to deny everything. Skeptics don't deny everything they question everything. That is another definition that has become fuzzy:…

I know! Report after report on the East of the Rockies but, there is nothing about this side of the Rockies.

I have one major issue with this besides just the idea of splitting up California; why Tim Draper's recommendations should be considered at all. Why are we even considering his lines. If it was decided to separate California aren't there better ways to divide it up?
