Niiiiice one!

(slowly unfolds tin foil hat and adjusts it properly)

The GoT intro really reminds me of HBO's "Rome" intro (which I also thought was great). I had wondered if maybe both shows had some of the same production teams.

Title sequences can be a great pump up for getting the audience ready for the movie/show, but they can also lead to some disappointments.

Holy crap, I had sooooo forgotten about Terry Long. The Titans was one of my favorite comics to ever grace the inside of my mailbox when I was a kid, but he was just a useless character. Maybe if he had really been a secret plant by Trigon to bore the team into submission. At least then he could have had purpose!

Without going into detail, the short answer on both items is "red tape & politics". For me personally, I don't have a problem with a Google account, but for some I must work with it is a mine field that I have to avoid.

So just to verify... You are saying that immediately out of the box, you are required to input a Google ID in order to use the basic functions of the device? Or by "start it all working" you mean you need a Google ID to use Android Marketplace, Google Play, etc...?

That is kind of what I am basing my guess on. When we setup iPads for people, no Apple ID is needed UNLESS you want to use the App Store. It tries to make it look like you must have one when you setup the device, but you can skip this part if you wish. I have setup dozens like that with no Apple ID necessary to use…

So I have been wondering... If you purchase and use an Android phone or tablet, are you required to make/use a Google account on it or can you buy one and remain Google free? In other words, just how much of an Android experience can I have without having to use a Google account?

Yeah, no telling what the possibilities could be if they feel pressured to perform beyond their own control of the experiment.

I also was thinking he would be Pinocchio due to all the references of the Blue Fairy, the wooden donkey, and especially the way his legs were jumping all around while he was trying to sleep (similar to how a puppet's legs jerk around).

1920x1200 here also.

Looks more like something brewed up in the Underdark... Behold the mighty FrankenFlayer!

Back in college we made a seat with sound transduction discs stuck to the bottom. It sounds opposite of what would work, but high density concrete bricks on the bottom really added to the OOMPH. Disney and Universal use similar seats in some of their rides. When applied with proper "outside" sound, they give an…

I too am hoping for a belly flop out of it and maybe that will be another nail in the coffin of all these damned reboots.

I would LOVE to see Nolan's Grey Ghost interpretation!

Could it be?!? A possible replacement for my once beloved Picnik?

I liked those much better than the kiddie feeling Oz movie.
