If that’s true, why not just tune the transporter to just remove chunks of the enemy ship? Remove the hull, or bits of the engine, and (literal) BAM! They’re dead.

An overlooked detail in the Trek universe was the lack of bathrooms. They had showers, but no toilets. Answer - transporter technology emptying the bladder and bowels on a continuous basis. It also explains how they maintain their excellent abs. Instead of binge and purge, it’s binge and beam.

I’d like to think that the state of security today, with sandboxed applications, encrypted hard drives and randomized address spaces, is a direct consequence of software engineers watching Trek in the 80s and 90s, saying, “Well let’s make sure THAT can’t happen,” and then going to work.

I’m sure there’s some sort of in-universe explanation that says the computer managing the transportation is able to remove material that should not be there - otherwise you’d regularly wind up with bugs, or palm fronds or other bits and pieces inside of you.

Same as the Kona EV, not the Soul 

Nissan Versa hands down

He’s nothing more than Log Cabin Republican. And he knows nothing about Black people. And Castro, a superior candidate, who actually understands black people is barely getting any traction.

WTF? Sun tanning assholes? And it’s not a whole person?

“It proves men like him are more willing to perpetuate the fantastic narrative of negro neighborhoods needing more role models and briefcase-carriers than make the people in power stare into the sun and see the blinding light of racism.”

Being Bladerunner inspired, this truck will be designed to do dangerous jobs no other trucks should be doing. Have a lifespan pre-determined, and go mad and kill us all.

I love this movie so much. Frank Langella steals every scene he’s in.

You are right and I addressed that in another comment.  Ultimately, Charlie’s Angels was for men.  Jaclyn Smith was the classic beauty.  Farrah Fawcett was the ultimate pin-up girl.  Kate Jackson was the smart and relatable one.  The series was full of intrigue.  It was not made for school girls, but adult males.

One of the comment people here (Batista Thumbs Up) had a pretty good reply in the last Newswire post on this. Basically, nobody cares about Charlie’s Angels as a property - the only reason the 2000 movie was even as a successful as it was, was because two of the three leads were super-stars at the time (and this made…

I remember seeing reruns as a kid, but I’m also too young. I think that it was inspirational to women in addition to being super male gazey. Women wanted to be the characters in the show. They were stylish, independent, bad ass ladies... as well as also fulfilling the sexy requirement.

The trailers made it seem like it was forcibly “for women” rather than being a good movie with women in it. It looked bad in every respect—awful music choices, unfunny retorts, bad action, unclear plot. In contrast, take Atomic Blonde, which has a kick-ass female protagonist that didn’t need to constantly remind us of…

I love Banks as an actress, but I really wished Pitch Perfect 2 were better, and I’m only mildly interested in Charlie’s Angels because it looks like it won’t be very good, I didn’t like the earlier reboot, and my expectations are low because of Pitch Perfect 2 (sample of 1). But I do think women directors should be…

The marketing for this movie sucked. The promos were all the same: overstuffed with characters, a lot of dialogue that doesn’t mean anything (and difficult to hear in the first trailer), incomprehensible plot, no significant set-pieces teased. There was nothing to grab you and make you think this movie could compete…

That’s kinda true but on the other hand Spider-Man is actually a good property whereas Charlie’s Angels was only ever ‘meh’ at its best. 

Yes, although there are people complaining about all the Spider-man movies.

My little Dyson handheld is a POS. The wall is too close to the core, so crud gets trapped up at the top, and doesn’t fall out when you release the hatch. I have to root around with a chopstick to clear it.
