The reason I’ll never own one of these machines is that you can’t make good coffee with them. You’re entirely limited to the choices prepacked in little cups, and in my experience, even the darkest blends are woefully weak. A standard coffee machine can make small or large amounts of coffe, and you can choose how…

This isn’t actually funny, no. I’m not sure why anyone would think it is.

Part of it is the atmosphere, yes. Part of it is our moon, which catches some impacts and deflects others. We are still routinely struck by asteroids. In fact, every year we’re hit by a few.

Part of the reason we don’t see very old impacts, by the way, is weathering eroding the craters away, and plate tectonics pulling…

There is no Fermi paradox. The universe is very big place, and we’ve looked at an incredibly tiny portion of it. We don’t even know what signals emitted by alien life would even look like.

DC has had one movie so far, and it blew. The Suicide Squad trailer looks iffy, and the Wonder Woman footage isn’t enough to tell anything at all. Batman V Superman is being directed by talent-free Zach Snyder. DC is sadness right now.

Alien was at least moderately brilliant. It was at the very least far closer to it than anything else on your list, including Star Wars.

Even the films that get applause for using lots of practical effects do an awful lot of compositing with lots of CG elements in the background. Mad Max: Fury Road, for instance. Also, every other movie you’ve seen in the last decade, including films that don’t rely on CG for visual spectacle, like dramas.

As it turns…

Maybe because he’d been shot in the gut by a gun we previously saw absolutely wreck three or four stormtroopers with one shot, and is using all of his concentration to use the force to keep his internal organs from slopping out onto the ground?

The things you claim shouldn’t have been left out were clearly deliberately left out, like R2 powering up, and the map showing up that shows where Luke is. These are clearly meant to be points of mystery to keep you wondering about the next films. This is Abrams, you know, who’s all about leaving unanswered questions.…

Not even slightly. They very specifically cut ties with trump over his racist immigration remarks. This was reported extensively.

You’re actually correct that it isn’t protected as fair use. However, CBS has a long history of allowing and even encouraging fan fiction, be it in story, comic, or movie form. In addition, CBS met with them, and said it was fine to make the film, so long as they didn’t make a profit from it. This is what is known, in…

I mean, you say Bespin, but the troopers never actually hit anybody. That one was all Vader.

Jesus this looks awful.

I think it’d be cool if they stuck in a cameo or two by some of the TV characters.

Like it mattets which fictional universe’s ships are bigger. What matters is that the ships make sense in comparison to each other within one fictional universe. Any show/book/comic/etc can just go “here’s a ship that’s twice the size of yours”. It’s a dick waving contest that makes no sense.

This is not a Metroid game, as far as I can tell. Metroid has very little to do with the plot of the game world, with the galactic federation and the pirates. I mean, Super Metroid, the very best title in the entire series, has no scanning, no dialog, and no text outside of the brief intro. What makes it Metroid is…

I was gonna say, that seems like a ridiculous price. On eBay, new copies go for $75, and complete used go for between $40 and $50, which is pretty reasonable.

The actual equivalent would be a hole showing his pecs. Showing cleavage is currently socially acceptable, and is in no way comparable to a guy showing the top of his cock shaft. Socially acceptable vs. an act which would get you arrested and put on the sex offender registry.

Jezebel is such a garbage rag. You go on and on about feminism and not treating women like objects, and then when a modestly attractive Canadian gets elected, you immediately talk about how “fuckable” he is.

You clearly do give a crap, especially evident after you mention lots locations and people. To non-fans, it looks like a pile of bland CGI.
