@bakana: That's my plan exactly: get a laptop with a BD player, then hook it up to a larger TV via HDMI. I might actually start buying BD discs at that point.

@Aubron: I saw the Toshiba Qoqmio on here, but I've had my eye on the Asus G73JW-A1 for a while now. Anyone have any thoughts on which is the better machine?

@N7: "Fatal Exception" sounds like the title of an action movie about computer programmers.

@Ink Jameson: That suggests an interesting idea: a Star Trek movie that doesn't involve space, and they don't go anywhere. Oh, and at the end of it, they fight a giant spider!

@Belabras: "That's no mouse. It's a space station."

@talonscar: Nice. Kudos, sir. :)

Hank: BOUBA. BOUBA. BOUBA BOUBA BOUBA BOUBA BOUBA. Say BOUBA.

@WookieLifeDay: His Girl Friday is at the top of my A-List material for Film 103: Classics for Whippersnappers. :) If they've seen Blazing Saddles, I throw in Destry Rides Again, just to show how dead-on Madeline Kahn's performance was.

@WookieLifeDay: I've been trying to introduce some of my 20-something friends (me in my 30s) to Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, The Thin Man, etc. Their reply? "I won't watch a movie if it's in black-and-white. They're boring." And then I have to hurt them. ;)

@Lawdog: I do, just to mess with people. I also introduced my office to 'forewent', the past tense of 'forego'. It keeps them off-balance. :)

My wife and I are watching Steven Moffat's new Sherlock series (which I'd love to see you do an episode of, by the way), and it got me to wondering if there are any classic literary characters or series for which you'd like to do a modern version.

@sephycloneno15: Capital! 'Zeds' it is, then... :)

@DrZaius: Spot on!

@illiniphase4: Privateer 2, with Clive Owen as a Han Solo-type character in live-action cut scenes, was a great game, too.

@MrGOH: I have to second (or third, or whatever we're up to now) the City Watch books. They're my favorite group of books. Small Gods is an amazing book about modern religion vs. ancient beliefs. Going Postal, Making Money and The Truth are great books about the establishment of A-M's Post Office, Royal Mint and…

Back in the 1990s, I worked at an event hall across the street from their headquarters in downtown El Cajon, California. Some of their outdoor scenes were filmed at El Cajon's City Hall. They even held a convention at our hall once, showing movies like the ones here. They even brought that cardboard UFO backdrop to…

@bluebogle: But do you get to retain your dignity? ;)

@kibles: "Demon Hunter, shot the food..."

@DARSFOG: Wernstrom!

@JoBo: I've been wanting something like this since playing the table RPG Deadlands. This is the closest I've seen. I think it's going to be awesome!
