"I kind of love the fact that Daryl and T-Dog have become Rick's right and left hand men, and that they communicate with each other through meaningful looks around the prisoners."

Oh, my bad. I wasn't trying to jump on you or anything.

But when Jesus comes back, he'll start flipping tables like a drunk and unruly partygoer. Or something.

The claim that the Ethiopian Orthodox Church has the Ark (in either Axum or Lalibela) is a lot older than The Sign and The Seal.

*yawn* Aren't you enlightened.

Except that, y'know, they actually got made and aren't imaginary tax-shelters pr whatever. But I get it- right-wing, evil, etc.

It's fascinating to see how many of these movies seem to have failed to get made due to the director leaving to make something a lot less interesting, or just purely shitty (and in some cases, extremely pretentious... Aronofsky).

This sort of thing ranks right up there with officers who wear no ribbons when in dress uniform, or qual pins ever (because you could totally be a NUB captain).

The Navy's pretty big on tradition (see The Bluejacket's Manual for examples), so I'd hazard a guess that it wouldn't really change that much in the face of anything.

I would watch a movie with these creatures in it... provided the plot makes sense, doesn't feature a character named "Baron von Drax" (ffs), and it isn't called JP4.

My fish movie was Starship Troopers, actually. It was a crowdpleaser- nudity, guts, and satire that went over the heads of about half the crew, who were convinced it was purely a hoorah-go-military movie.

We used to love watching Crimson Tide and laughing at the fact that there was a dog aboard for no apparent reason... or Hunt For Red October, with the COB and Jonesy being the only two sonarmen ever on watch, somehow- and I'm a former STS2 (SS/SW), so my division really got a laugh out of it.

Only 4?

As an ex-submariner, I can tell you very few submarine shows and movies are ever accurate or authentic. The few things that aren't classified on a boat are the galley and berthing, and a lot of procedures and operational details are classified. Hell, I had to have a TS just to get assigned to my boat... so imagine how…

I'd rather have functionality than personality. I have friends if I need somebody to crack jokes. And I'm interested in the fact that Google is pushing toward proactive rather than simply reactive computing like Siri.

It's a joke. Lighten up.

It's worth the money, and doesn't require a 12-step program down the line.

Buy me something!

"...like the "amber gypsies." (Actually, they prefer to be called "amber Romani," thank you very much.)"

Yeah, that's true.
