Can't agree with you there Frank, Trek'd been doing fan service of this type for years before T'pol turned up. Seven of Nine and Deanna Troi spent at least a season each in jumpsuits at least as skimpy as this (Skimpier in Troi's case at times, note her Encounter at Farpoint 'uniform'). Enterprise had many issues…

As it goes there used to be a series of video games touted as being holographic. They were using a variation of this technique. It really does work surprisingly well.

Jalopnik even has a customary GIF for all Florida related hijinks...

I'm with you. It seems unfair to make a film that is expected to leave you thinking after you leave the theatre when none of the "experts" depicted in the film do any thinking themselves.

I can't agree. I just watched the whole bunch with my Son about a month or so ago, and while Jedi and Star Wars are certainly helped by a dab of nostalgia, Empire is just out and out spectacular. The plot is a fabulous twisty beast with well thought out character development, excellent (and predominantly logical) …

Well, the government might be a right old load of stick in the muds, but the dreamers can dream as well as anyone.

I would rather have seen him as the Lone Ranger himself, with an actual Native American as Tonto, but knowing Depp's history he probably requested the role of Tonto as being more interesting.

Oh, you weren't the only one, and it was highlighted to an amazing degree when rather than just shooting the German fellow (while holding him at Tesla-point) they tried to hit him over the head with a plank and then punched him unconscious, because concussion and a broken nose is *soooo much better than a nice doze…

Looks like Stuart Freeborn with big ears, which doesn't surprise me as Yoda was modeled by Freeborn (his original sculptor) based on himself, with a little bit of Einstein thrown in. But now I'm forced to wonder; did the sculptor work from photos of Freeborn, or literally just make Yoda fleshy. It's very well done…

In terms of plot, characters, setting, themes and so on there is no connection.

A bit yeah. Guinness was known as being able to completely alter his personality and general look (as in the Ladykillers image posted by Chewgumma), with relatively minor makeup; to the extent that in Kind Hearts and Coronets he played the majority of the members of a particular family (including a woman) - A bit…

That's from the Ladykillers, an Ealing comedy in which he played a slightly unhinged criminal mastermind. This is Guinness 4 years earlier in a promo shot for The Man in the White Suit, as you can tell, makeup had a lot to do with his Ladykillers look.

Well, this saddens me greatly. It wasn't the best movie ever made, not even the best this year, but it was a good solid action move and a nice throwback to some 80's action flicks (With a nice dose of 80's John Carpenter style in there too - I could see this being a Carpenter movie). What irritates me most is this…

Yes, they did. A strange alien cube appearing just at the Ponds that turns out to be compacted alien poo would have worked just fine ;)

I really disliked this episode (with three caveats: the Kate reveal - called it, Brian, and it's only been an hour). I get that the story wasn't the point of the episode, but the cubes were such a fascinating concept that I really wish that *was the point. I mean it was so wasted, and so hand waved away at the end…

You're not the only one. That was basically Dredd's Crowning Moment of Awesome, and he's had quite a few awesome moments. The panel is well known enough that it was featured prominently on the inside cover of the artist's "The Art of..." book (It's Brian Bolland, if you were wondering).

No mention of The Ballad of Halo Jones (specifically book 3, though the war is background in the first 2)? Fantastic stuff, and has always been memorable to me for the fighting on a super gravity planet where the time is warped to the extent that a subjectively 20 minute battle can take a week or more in "real-time",…

Yeah, it's less the quantity and more the quality of what's destroyed. and that in each instance the destruction is very much a deliberate choice by one of the characters rather than just some random car smashed in a random chase... Oh, and there was a bicycle destroyed too. ;)

Yeah, but think of the dollars they lost out on through advertising when they actually made it to the moon. Who wouldn't want "Official insurers of the Apollo 11 Astronauts" as a slogan on TV after that - the customers would come rolling in ;)

My apologies, the sarcasm totally went over my head :) But yeah, those do appear to be the numbers. I would have compared casualties in each endeavor too, but the thought depressed me far to much.
