    Whoa! Family Guy [Spoiler]

    1.) What happened to Spoiler tags? 2.) Doesn't Stewie have a time-machine?

    The Walking Dead 4.6 "Live Bait" (Spoiler Alert)

    I see where you and on differ on this. I really don't want to see the Governor find redemption. I think he's a despicable character that deserves to be at the wrong of end of a revenge stick. When I call him a sociopath or a psychopath I don't mean it in the sense of everyday use as someone...

    The Walking Dead 4.6 "Live Bait" (Spoiler Alert)

    There's a huge difference between making hard choices when your life or the lives of those around you are in peril and what the Governor did. Someone is not necessarily a sociopath if he does terrible* things to survive. Someone is a sociopath if he does those things because he feels like it...

    The Walking Dead 4.6 "Live Bait" (Spoiler Alert)

    That was some Drunken Master Kung Fu Zombie Fighting Style right there. For a moment I thought we were watching Caine from Kung Fu trekking through the necrotic wilderness. I too am on the side of not liking that the Governor is generating sympathy points. There was nothing morally ambiguous...

    Do you think it is reasonable not to tip your server?

    I feel the same way. The Dutch aren't known for being tippers so when they eat at something like a highway diner stateside they'll think the food is really cheap and leave without tipping. These are generalizations of course. There are many exceptions. However, many tourists may not know the...

    Do you think it is reasonable not to tip your server?

    Is that legal in all states? Paying less than the minimum because you might get tips. I mean, they wouldn't be called tips if all they do is make up the difference between sub-minimum and minimum wage, would they?

    Humans rule at distance running

    It has something to do with humans being able to sweat to cool down and most other animals don't.

    Thor: The Dark World (SPOILERS)

    For me it was as forgettable as most of the other Marvel and DC superhero movies. Mildly enjoyable while I watched it but overall an empty experience. The only positive thing I got out of it was the design of the Dark Elves. They looked cool.

    SR-72...Deathbird?

    I was going for the sad indignant response. It failed. I wonder about the use of such a weapon system. In an increasingly globalized and interconnected world you seem to have less use for a weapon which is designed to defeat high tech counter measures from other militaries. That seems to be...

    Halloween costumes -- where is the taste line drawn?

    Just a note about the royals. They don't have a purely symbolic function. They generate more money than they cost. Either directly through tourism or by opening up business opportunities between countries. While I don't appreciate there being people that are worth more than I socially...

    Wearable tech

    I don't man. I don't want the NSA to know where my wrist has been.

    Elysium (Here There Be Spoilers)

    Aw yeah, I'm not calling Jodie Foster's acting chops into question. I think she's superb. But I just cringed when she spoke the way she did. I just read that Neill wanted Eminem to play Max but Eminem's desire to film it in Detroit didn't work for the producers. I think casting him would...

    Elysium (Here There Be Spoilers)

    I loved it. Absolutely loved it. Best action sci-fi in a long time. The compositing of the CGI is so beautiful. The artists deserve a pat on the back and a cake in the mouth. It was near seamless. Everything was so cool. The tech, the robot throwing a no look grenade, the action, the...

    Elysium

    There's a thread below with a couple of reviews but that one has spoilers. I absolutely loved it. There have been so many poor blockbuster movies these past few years. Marvel movies (excepting the Avengers), Micheal Bay movies, f****** Prometheus, Pacific Rim and so on, it was refreshing to...

    Who's pumped for Pacific Rim?

    I've studied many films in school and I know about symbolism and connecting motifs but implementing them doesn't mean you can ignore or poorly develop the elements which make up a good or entertaining piece of work.
