I've always liked Contact better as a movie than as a book.

I was followed by IO9 before the change to the new system. Hopefully, that means I am in the same non-grey boat as you.

I thought All You Need is Kill sounded like a McBane movie on The Simpsons.

Since your question is specifically to people who are new to DIY, I would suggest using basic math, at first. The learning the building principles and the math involved in the project should reinforce each other (at least if the math is being taught correctly.) As the person becomes more fluent with the construction…

"Let's find out." is perhaps a better answer, for the same reason.

Update 3: The Hellcat engine is not going into the Dart. I'm still holding out for the Fiat 500 myself.

Testing, and failing.

This is the alpha version of the Raspberry Pi.

Yondu was the weakest part of GotG for me. I just couldn't get past "Blue Merle".

My thoughts exactly. I always felt that I was alone on this.

Show: Knight Rider

By the time I got here, every Star Trek photo I would have posted was already posted. Good work everybody.

They're not becoming movies. OMW is heading to TV.

My thought as well. I really enjoyed Pacific Rim for what it was, but GotG illustrates how PR could have been that much better.

Did "grimdark" just become a word this morning? I've never heard it until today, and three different people used it.

My money is on Adam Warlock as Quill's father.

You're right that it would be hard to make Cap an antihero. However, just because it's hard doesn't mean that someone wouldn't try and fail miserably.

This is a very well done opening. It is just long enough to set the story and uses interesting visuals and music.

I love this movie, but the opening voice over is too long.

Philippa Boynes said on the DVD that she wrote so many drafts of the Prologue that she was sick of it at the end. However, that work paid off well.
