I vote to leave it that way.

Just because it started early in the history of film doesn't prove it's good, it just proves it's easy. And why should a film need "enhanced?" Look at Schindler's List: apparently a movie filled with scenes of genocide isn't tragic enough, it needs a bunch of sad violin music to get the point across.

I've seen plenty of movies with little or no additional score, and I find them far more engrossing. For example, there's no score at all in The Exorcist (except for a brief moment early in the film), and I can't imagine a piece of music that would enhance it. Although, it does make the regular sound effects even…

The picture has what looks like diet Coke on the top shelf, next to water. So, yeah, I think it is "diet carbonated beverages."

I think having a powerful, moving musical score is cheating. If the score alone has an emotional effect, then that makes the movie extraneous. You could just as easily show a black screen. Lazy film making; make me care about the characters, and I'll have an emotional response. I'm more forgiving of avant garde…

Funny dentist saying weird shit story: My dentist was talking to his assistant woman about a series of online guitar lessons he was working through, apparently hosted/taught/whatever by actual recognizable musicians. So, he's like "I've done three lessons so far, blah blah blah, and right now I'm doing Nora Jones."

I was locked out of my account once, and it took a while for them to open it back up. They aren't very speedy about it. That photo ID stuff sounds fishy, but if you're actually locked out of the account, I guess probably only someone legit would know that.

I think that was the guy I kept thinking of as "Boris the Blade" all through the landing.

Why does this post have a picture of people playing chess? That's the least playful "game" ever invented. I can be more playful folding laundry.

Pretty much. If you compared the traits people claimed to like, versus the traits of people they actually get involved with, you'd have an interesting study. And one that would probably contradict this one. I feel pretty comfortable ignoring most studies that rely on self reported information.

I'm totally joking. I think pretty much all the costume designs where she has pants look better and make more sense.

That's not the real Wonder Woman, she's wearing pants.

I'm pretty sure I vaguely remember a comic where he's shaving with a claw. Don't ask me what it was, though, the only Marvel books I've read in the last 15 years were Grant Morrison's X-Men, and I don't think it was in there, so we're probably talking something from the '90's.

I want to say maybe he's not in costume, but who knows.

I'm not sure I can put my finger on exactly what's dumb in that picture of Tom Hanks, but I completely cracked up laughing as soon as I saw it, which I don't think was the response they wanted.

I think Hanks isn't really a good actor, and he's just kind of lame.

If they could digitally remove Tom Hanks from this, maybe I'd go see it. That last picture is absolutely the dumbest thing I've seen in at least three weeks.

Thought too "what" previously?

Is "magic potential" really that universal in fantasy? I could imagine a setup where anyone who takes the time to learn it could access it. Maybe they'd have to be lucky enough to be able to afford the education or something, or have access to a good teacher, but there wouldn't be anything innate in the person…

The details on Fringe leave me reasonably optimistic. Which is good, because it's the only thing discussed that interests me at all.
