Hey, while we're at it, can we also complain about how the Hunger Games is just a ripoff of Battle Royal? 'Cuz that complaint ever gets old, either... much less the ensuing arguments.

"Or when she didn't kill the career's with her bow when she was at the edge of the clearing while they are confused by the explosion, and she is the only person with a ranged wep."

Dude, do you love murdering people? Do you especially love murdering people who you know are perfectly normal, decent folks that you'd probably like if you met them socially? I'm going to go out on a limb and give you the benefit of a doubts and say "no, probably not".

What, you seriously have never been torn about something before?

To quote the simpsons: "Can't somebody ELSE do it?"

I think it's safe to say that he already has, what with that whole youngest-billionaire-ever bit. ;-) Though maybe he'll never know true happiness?

In addition, I don't feel the need to vainly assume that everybody in the whole world needs to know about every mundane little thing I do. If it's not important enough to tell somebody about one-one-one (i.e. by phone, email, or God forbid in person), then no one else needs to know about it. I'm just not that…

More likely you had distance ancestors that GOT EATEN BY GIANT SPIDER CREATURES!

I don't think it's much of a stretch to assume that the idea of "under aged people murdering each other" is so unique that only one person in the history of ever could have come up with it.

Well, they didn't jump on Avatar...

Why can't you just be concerned about what happens RIGHT NOW? I mean, in the case of something like this, all you really know is that the war eventually "ends" in an armistice that lasts decades, and Adama doesn't die. But every individual mission he attempts could end in success or failure, help the war effort or…

One of the Apollo astronauts (maybe Buzz Aldrin?) proposed a setup like that—you have a spaceport on Earth, another on Mars, and a large, fast-traveling transit craft in a permanent (and virtually fuel-free) highly elliptical orbit between the two. Thus, launch vehicles are only ferries between the surface and the…

See, every time I see the whole outfit, I find myself pining for the retro WW2 one from his own film. I think it looked way better, even if it's not comic-book-accurate. It looked far more rugged and protective, and far less like underoos.

Hell, right now it's going in the opposite direction—lately they haven't even bothered remaking things, they're just reissuing old ones in 3D!

I dunno, it all just sounded too damned depressing to me. Plus I have a toddler, which leaves me with about 1 hour a day of free time with my wife, so... not really watching ANY television right now.

I think the problem here is that you're viewing these as academic works, but I don't think they are. They're just entertainment that's created in the mold of academic works. They're the equivalent of a mockumentary (in the fake sense, not the comical one—think "blair witch"" or "troll hunter")—something that appears…

My own hand-waving explanation (for purposes of explaining while it took a special proficiency/skill/whatever for an RPG character otherwise proficient in hand weaponry to wield a lightsaber) was that the saber is essentially a plasma torch, contained in an electromagnetic field, and the plasma inside is A) charged,…

Well, yeah, Qui-Gon says as much to Mama Anakin. "He can see things before they happen; that's why he appears to have such quick reflexes. It's a Jedi trick." (Or something very similar)

"What was Starbuck then? An angel?"

Just to play devil's advocate—I'm guessing the actors you know might be less inclined to say "ah, close enough, I'm a Star for God's Sake!"
