Well to be honest period sex is a pretty niche thing, liable to squick more fans than it attracts, so I suppose you’re right they probably shouldn’t have scenes of it.

Literally that means “I’m slowly becoming slow!”. Which is funny.

That TA is just plain beautiful, full stop. No bizarre ambiguity about it, that is a flat out gorgeous piece of machinery.

It’s not rice, it’s pure disco-era cheese.

My gods... I can see the original 300z in the doors, t-top roof and windshield... that poor thing must be in hell thinking that one day long ago it was a respectable sports car. If I were a multi-millionaire with money to burn, I think I’d buy the miserable bastard and have it crushed just to put it out of it’s…

I always hated that front end, it’s just awful. Everything else about the car I loved but that nose was just hideous even by outlandish disco-era standards.

This thing is so amazingly 70s... for those of us of a certain age stuff like this looks both beautiful and hideous as childhood nostalgia wars with common sense. It’s a bizzarre love-hate thing.

They’re other ships of the same design line, most of them larger than the Tyderium-type. Presumably they’re made by the same company that made the shuttles seen in Jedi and also the T-16 Skyhopper which seems to also share design elements. You might as well be asking why BMW makes a 3 series, 5 series, 7 series, etc…

It’s very much a cross between this and a snowspeeder from ESB. And considering the Buck Rogers ship is also a MacQuarrie design, it fits. He did all the designs for Star Wars, Buck Rogers, and original Battlestar Galactica, which is a major reason why the basic technology style seems similar across all three…

No need for heat shielding when:

* They don’t have to conserve limited fuel from weak rocket engines and thus don’t have any need to utilize orbital mechanics that require short burns to slow down just enough to come down in a parabolic arc at near orbital velocity. They have more than enough fuel and power to just…

The trope is rather out of hand, though as you said it’s more acceptable to some degree in comedy but really it’s overstayed it’s welcome in my opinion.

The concept was done to death long ago, and received what I’d call a death blow via extreme parody in Bludgeoning Angel Dokoru-chan. It depicted one of these…

I wish someone would come up with a vaccine against autism just to watch these morons heads explode.

I enjoyed this series when I watched it a few years ago. One of the things that sticks out to me still is an amusing part where they interview the voice actresses and one of them mentions how she had a challenge memorizing all the technical terms like “heel to toe shift” and “put it in second gear”. If that’s…

Because I disagree with a company’s policy doctrine, make a critique of it, and feel legal action should be taken to curtail it (though I’m not in a position to take such action myself) that means I’m “whining”? Huh. And here I thought it was called posting discussion feedback in a comments section on the topic at…

Because I wasn’t dumb enough to buy a locked down, inferior product I was not harmed by this policy and thus I don’t have standing to sue. However, I agree with you that someone should do so.

“Don’t buy their products” is not enough of an remedy when consumer rights under the law are being violated.

No, Apple has a right to control what they host in their own software store but NOT what a user can and cannot install and run on their own machine they bought and paid for. The law is clear on this, and it’s frankly amazing Apple has gotten away with it as long as they have.

What part of “a court ruling affirmed the right of end users to run any software or consume any content they choose on the device they own” do you not understand? The Right of First Sale is a very important one in business law and Apple should NOT be allowed to break it, period. Any weakening of that right is a threat…

Nobody says Apple has to host the bloody thing, the issue is they actively prevent users from acquiring applications in any other way than the official store despite a court ruling that jailbreaking is entirely legal and the end user has every right to install and run any software they choose on the device they own.…

The issue so much isn’t what they will allow in their App Store, it’s that they prevent you from accessing the software in any other way either. You cannot “side-load” apps without jailbreaking the device, which Apple makes as difficult as possible despite a court ruling stating that jailbreaking was completely legal…
