Obviously there’ll be pilot scripts for his Next Big Original Hits:

Helicopter parents that never allowed her to walk in a forest, or to travel where she could be kidnapped by pirates. Also she hasn't time traveled to the main age of piracy.

And then Putin feeds the resulting mix to a nosy reporter or defecting spy (hey, radioactive poisons are expensive!).

Haven’t read the article yet. I’m grumpy. Hate Xmas,. But in response to the headline: until modern society stops tolerating mass shootings pretty much everyday, including the slaughter of 6 yr old kids at school, modern society has no right to be shocked by anything. Fuck Xmas and fuck America.

Close. Right movie, wrong actor. That wasn’t Michael Ansara (but a really good guess nonetheless). It was William Marshall. He played Blacula in the Blaxploitation classic and Dr. Richard Daystrom in the original Star Trek episode ‘The Ultimate Computer’.

When the anti-pirating measures came out, and trying to copy a movie between two VCRs made the copy flicker, there was a sort of video unit that could be hooked up between the two VCRs to minimise the flicker. My friends and I used to pool our money to make the deposit on the movies we’d rent and then have all-night…

REAL video piracy requires a cutlass.

Pirating a movie in 1983 was easy. All you had to do was get 2 VCRs and use the output of one as the input to the other. Bam! You had a nice, fresh clean copy. Then they started up with all of that anti-copying bullshit and we’ve been trying to stay one step ahead of them ever since.

In the end, the Dominion just had too much trouble Keeping up with the Cardassians.

That CBS JLA:

Boyhood is an amazing concept for a film, but not that outstanding as a work of art beyond the concept.

You don't need the costume, girl, you already are a hero.

I used to hate him so much, but after I saw him in In A World... I gave him another chance. I'm glad I did because Childrens Hospital is now one of my favorite shows, which led to me watching Burning Love, which is also the best. Also, Hell Baby was pretty great.

Oh Capaldi won me over very, very quickly. But the season itself lost me by the end of it.

Nice to see she's as annoying and long-winded in her correspondence as in her novels.

Perhaps it's because my mind is perpetually in the gutter, but "yawning" was not the first thing to come to mind when I saw that "Scream" painting.

grow up and embrace technology. You are living In the past pretending the Internet isn't for porn and downloads. You are one those dumbos from block busters who thought net flix was a joke. You can download any film, game, music & tv for free. If I really like it I buy it. Live with it or die.

I suspect that the storyline will evolve into something that bears little if any resemblance to the situation with the IRA - a subject I (a former resident of Belfast for many years) have had enough of, especially when depicted by Hollywood.

There are several non-scifi(fantasy?) shows with this type of dynamic. The first one that comes to mind is "Criminal Minds." Elite group, everyone a genius/specialist. Typical dynamic is members free associating within their speciality and the responses are generally an enhancement or at least agreement of the idea.…

Or even better, everyone submitting designs of male heroes in nothing but cock socks, assless chaps and kinky fetish boots or with melons stuffed down the front of their barely-there mankinis until The Powers That Be take the hint...
