You know, I'm as excited as anybody about what this represents, but watching this presser... This whole rock star fetushization of the mission and the scientists... It's getting to be a bit much. Certainly take your credit and your bow, but come on. The important thing here is the science and the exploration.

I think the problem is with the romanticism of the Joker/Harley relationship. Somehow over the years this relationship has been seen by many fans as something it's not. Bottom line, orgin story or no, Joker has always abused Harley physically and psychologically. It's not a healthy relationship. It certainly can be an…

That is quite the nutball cross section.

So many things here:

That would have to be one hell of a rail gun.

I keep reading this, trying to find some angle where this is not fraud. And I keep failing.

Once again, no. Secretariat beat the second place horse, Twice a Prince, by 31 lengths. Sham did not finish second. He finished last, 49.5 lengths behind.

He would be 2 full seconds ahead of any other horse who ever ran the Belmont.

You could argue that, if Sham wasn't an outstanding horse who put up tremendously fast times in the Derby and Preakness, and who would have been a triple crown contender in just about any other year.

Watching Sham, a tremendous horse who would have been a triple crown contender any other year, in the Belmont is amazing. He ran with Secretariat for half the race, and got beat by 50 lengths. That is what happens to a normal horse when it tries to run at that pace for a mile and a half.

Where's my regenerating health??!! Bah!

Are there any conspiracy theories any of you legitimately believe in?

LOL. This is nothing new. Certainly not anything The Matrix is responsible for. Star Trek only lasted a couple of seasons. Same for the original Battlestar Galactica. Fact is sci fi on TV has always been a difficult proposition, due to expensive effects, world building - all the things he points out. But The Matrix…

Best gun, period.

This place cracks me up. It’s like a child’s view of the world.

I don’t quite get this. I fully support the point of the original article. Somebody else’s wedding isn’t your day. But I also don’t get the notion that everybody else has to put their lives on hold before and after said event. There’s a statute of limitations on that shit, IMO.

One of the more revealing parts of the excellent Crunch article was the consistent refrain amoung developers that trailer/demo footage was all a distraction - throwaway code that was abandoned as soon as whatever trade show / press conference was over.

Agree that it is overused, but that is just the symptom, not the actual problem. Take a look at that ridiculous TMNT scene. It’s not just that Bay chose to use CGI... It’s the whole concept of the scene. Of course you could not have used practical effects for that.. actual 18 wheelers are incapable of sliding down a…

Short is absolutely correct. Crunch is never inevitable. There are always other options. Don’t believe me? Mandatory time and a half for every hour worked over 40 for the week for the entire industry. As soon as there is a financial penalty for excessive hours, you will see the issue disappear overnight. Watch how…

Man. They gave managed to make Goodell look like the least weasely person in this whole affair. That takes rare talent.
