The best thing to do is to securely close your windows and doors and then set your house on fire, thereby removing that pesky oxygen before it can darken your dip. Problem solved!

Well that was kind of a dopey thing to say!!!

(EDIT HOLY COW: HAL) had to be clear because in the pod bay there's actually an infantry helmet from Germany in WWI, a knight's helm, a beer hat that barely managed to get through the approval process to be classified as a helmet, and Helmet, the band. So HAL always needs to say "space helmet", to keep the stupid…

Sorry to call you back to a dead thread @jonnieboyagain:disqus, but could you explain a bit more about this element? In the first movie it seemed like kind of a weird gag - that their consciousness remains but in a suppressed state that is separate from the mind of the plant itself. They're sort of like the…

It's on some of the releases in different forms, and on YouTube!. It's not a final cut so it's missing editing and sound, but they were absolutely right to change it and they talk about why they changed it in any of the editions with the commentary (which you should get).

And everybody did it so well that if you didn't know this is how they implemented some of the shots, you'd never be able to guess. Think of how many sped-up car chase scenes you've seen that you look at and go "oh they sped that up to make it seem like they're going faster". It's instantly identifiable, and all you're…

Thanks, Burl!

Yeah, the marketing team has a good idea of what'll get them more attention, and they gave the actors cards to remember what they're supposed to do as well!

Hey, have any books been written about the 1986 movie version? I think it's damned near a perfect film, so much talent going into it, and there's so many interesting parts about how they developed it on enormous stages and its puppets and Rick Moranis singing in half time and the original and on and on.

They could've start making stories up. Had their kids write them a la Lauren and/or Jaylen's Stories on Something Awful, or a great episode of Dexter's Lab I once saw. I don't know, I have no idea what the structure of this show is. It's got Geordi LaForge and something about books and a rainbow comes into it?

The painful irony of Reading Rainbow is that Geordi LaForge is completely illiterate.

Everything I wanted and so much more!

I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

Aw, I was really looking forward to a biopic about the ancient history of the famous drink. I've long thought about that epic Tomatoa and Clamian war, which was so bloody that rivers of blood poured down the street and into the lab of Vodkaria Celerio, who was experimenting on a new technique to make potato wine not…

This is a good idea for a game and if you fail to do the exercise properly it could yell at you.

Like I said, putting the microphone in the Kinect probably kept more people leaving it plugged in than anything else. But did you play any of the Kinect games that weren't dance or exercise games where your body actually was the controller?

I know! It's been great making $4800 for just a few hours of browsing a week without even having to leave my house at http://freemoneyfornothing.argh!

They'll regret it when my cat and lamp hijack a plane! If only Kinect had been there to log them in, this future tragedy could have been stopped.

It's crazy that they thought that bundling the Kinect in would attract developers. There's 24 million Xbox 360 Kinects in the wild. 24 million people who already have proven they don't care what they spend money on. That didn't attract major developers, because it's a dumb gimmick that you can't do much with…

The video should really feature the lookalikes and not three random people.
