When that little droid rolled out on stage, that's I think when my cynicism started melting away. They're trying. They are honest to goodness trying with this film.

Cool, more giant buildings to cast giant shadows over Central Park because fuck common people, more giant buildings for rich foreigners who drive up real estate prices, and don't pay their fair share of taxes, and don't spend enough time in the city to spend money here. More giant buildings being allowed to be built…

"Wow! I didn't know Bruce's parents were dead. Thanks for keeping me in the know, Batman V. Superman!"

It's worse than you think, Meredith!

Sarah ends up falling in love with Matt Smith's character (also a Terminator) and they have a baby in the next movie. A half-human, half-terminator child that will supposedly bring an end to the war between humans and the machines.

Okay, well, not really but just reminding you that…

I believe the idea is that this is an altered timeline resulting from Skynet's killing of Sarah's parents, rather than a retcon of the original films' events. So it doesn't invalidate the original films, it just branches off in a different direction due to time travel, like The Sarah Connor Chronicles or the Abrams Sta…

He's really Khan.

I love this. The most clever way to reboot is to do the in-continuity reboot via time-travel fuckery. Terminators went back way earlier now, shit got warped. BRILLIANCE.

Keep in mind that Apple started this fight. You've missed that a number of banks who support Apple Pay have decided unanimously to end the issue of any NFC cards whatsoever.

Isn't "ApplePay" already just corporate greed? There are open payment systems out there, but Apple came up with their own proprietary system. Now CVS doesn't want to take it and it's THEIR greed we're concerned about?

Yeah, I don't necessarily think the length of the contract indicates how many films you'll actually be in, or how prominently you'll be featured in them.

Only 24,000 AU? That isn't even a 4/10th of a LY. We're talking about a 650 million year highly elliptical orbit. We don't even know if it's a stable orbit.

Or maybe they just wanted to give a nice welcome hug and throw them a party.

I was telling my 6 year old all about the olden days, when things like Cartoon Network, Netflix and iTunes didn't exist, and only a lucky few had parents who actually knew how to set the timer on a VCR. If you overslept, or lost track of time, you were out of luck.

Yes, yes...we're just fighting about the definition of water...

Are you just talking about system alerts or alerts for a monitoring system like Nimbus? The operations center I work in handles about 30,000 tickets a month, and alerts generate individual tickets (based on parameters and thresholds) along with work requests for maintenance, upgrades, installations decommissions,…

Yes, but there's a limit to how accessible you can make a security warning, or any kind of warning message for that matter. On one hand, it shouldn't be gibberish; but on the other hand, you can't abstract away from the problem that the user has to understand at some level how their security system works if they are…

There is a lot in this that feels so Fifth Element. It is really smart to take this tone. Marvel has great instincts.

I still love Time Trax. You're never going to talk me out of that.

Was waiting to see Boba Fett in there.

Interesting idea, but the head of that clamping screw is inexplicably tiny and doesn't seem to be free moving. It makes me wonder if these people have ever even seen a real life clamp before or if they were so fixated on aesthetics they couldn't be bothered with proper usability.
