I think cobra needs to work on the aim of it's ground troops first. Also: [www.mcsweeneys.net]

Yeah... there are some things that shouldn't be touched- Goonies, and some others- I love the last star fighter, but really what made that movie special (in addition to the story) was that the special effects were fairly new for the time. BUT:

That's not true. I knew this guy once. He liked it.

you had me until you said V was a good show... putting away my pitch fork and torch now....

Lenny Kravitz? Huh. Hmmm, yeah I can see that actually.

Seriously?

I work in a biomedical research facility and: Indeed! It's not something that should fall into "red tape uselessness" it's "necessary red tape- that's helpful."

I wish it were limited to only people who live in Seattle... to better my near impossible chances of winning :(

There are things not to joke about in this world.

I wonder what his thoughts are on Batman Begins use of having chaotic shots of Batman fighting, with him out of focus, and always in shadows.

gah... Cable was the accumulation of all things not good with comics from the 1990s. In Kingdom Come, I read an interview waaay back when, where Alex Ross stated that Magog was based on crappy super hero designs during the 90's- mainly from mavel that didn't jive with the classic DC look. Totally Cable.

I only partially agree with this, example: bio-defense research that should be funded by the DoD.

I'd say the defense department. There are 20 active aircraft carriers in the world, 11 are controlled by us, with 1 about to be finished and 2 more planned @ $14 billion for the first one (R&D), and $9 Billion each for the other 2. That doesn't include operational costs, that's just to "get the things made."

I work in a medical research gov organization (part of NIH)- THANK YOU for posting this. Science is rarely ever WYSIWYG, and the US's over-all science research shouldn't be in the hands of for-profit private companies for the very reasons you write about.

No, Tilda Swinton's worse role ever was Technolust. Seriously, I'm one of a handful of people who has seen it- it's the worst kind of shit: pretentious-shit. Conceiving Ada is also the same sort of shit, but even more boring.

HELL. YES.

Of all of the 20-30 ish something film and digital cameras I've owned/owned, made from the 1940's to today: the SX 70 is still most ingenious designed camera I've ever owned- and it my personal favorite. I'm glad the impossible project didn't let the film die.

Good god, did you actually watch all 3 of those movies? How did you finish with all of that blood coming out of your eyes?

The slang of the kids these days isn't rad to the max. Not. At. All.

if it's any consolation: no amount of hazing, praying, use of magnets will help the Mariners.
