Thank God!

You know it.

Disney doesn't count because they do their promotion in house which saves a significant amount of money. They also handle a degree of their own distribution. The 2x rule doesn't apply to Tron or Black Hole. It should also be noted that the 2x rule doesn't hold for films at or over (about) $100 million. There are a…

I try to channel George Carlin on most things.

The Mother Jones article is exactly hie kind of time scale assumption I am referring to. Go visit factories - REAL factories where people work side by side to assemble simple items you buy every day. I do this as part of my job. The first thing that you realize is how versatile and how precise the human body is. As of…

Just giving these anti-video game drones column width is granting them too much credibility.

"I would say, hang on to your 360."—Albert Penello

Backwards comp isn't a mechanical issue, it's a chip issue and it doesn't have to change the cost one bit. Emulation would likely be the solution. It could even be an add-on. No, the XboX One isn't huge, it's ridiculous. I want to play games and I want to play my 100 title library from time to time without six…

Yeah. As a person who hosts LAN parties we regularly pull out old XboX games like MechAssault Lone Wolf and Crimson Skies. Unreal Championship for all its flaws still has some of the best team deathmatch games we've ever played. We aren't going to stop playing Halo 3 (yes, 3) just because XboX One is "liquid black".…

Question one: 365 days. We don't yet live in an age where internet connectivity can be counted on 365/24/7. People who live near tornado or hurricane distressed areas like myself know this only too well. I lose internet for up to a week at least once a year. It needs to work offline period. It's a game console. I play…

Oh, that Star Trek. Not quite as interested now.

I'm not suggesting anything...I'm just saying I made them. Thought they were funny.

Sadly it exists. Sadly Optic Nerve actually did some laudable effects makeup for Ben Grimm for that film. Sadly I own a copy.

This isn't necessarily so. Given that maintaining the current status quo for three hundred years and organizing a single world government both require the same conditions: world peace... There is no reason why either condition shouldn't prevail in three centuries time.

Boiling water often helps. It may take several gallons over the course of a day.

Currently there are two active seeds on TPB with the entire run plus alternates. Neither is a DVD or VHS rip. Both appear to be archives from Satellite downlink at some local TV station. Quality is about what you would have seen at home in 1980. I suspect this is the tracker to the 6.71 GB version and the one I am…

I actually got the Criterion Collection version on DVD awhile back. It's very nice and has a nice featurette about ILM.

Lolita is about power - perceived power, actual power and the process of learning about then turning your power on others. What Lolita is about is people learning that by expressing control, desire and anger at others they often empower those they wish to control.

Also, remember to play your shiny DVD set back on a 1967 Zenith color TV using only an RF connection (no fancy component cables). Only about 50-60% of this detail arrived on your TV at home. The rest was a soft, friendly blur.
