Four girls, one pod!

I am so glad I brought popcorn.

I thought it was quite telling that the people can get along very well. It's the leaders who see each other as a threat and think war is the only possible endgame. It's reminiscent of stories where soldiers from opposing sides come together due to rare circumstances and get along fine but have...

Thanks for this. It's far more useful than people might think. You can do a lot of the things with CS2 that you can do with the newer versions. Especially with the plug-ins.

I would like to see the ticket sales as well. That way we can see if the gross is inflated by the price of tickets for 3D showings.

I don't know if this is ever gonna catch on. I mean, it's a quaint little exercise in engineering but I don't see it moving out of the lab in a meaningful way. Writing letters is so ingrained in our way of going about business that I think the post-offices will remain strong for many many...

Welcome to Scotland!

Is Cloud Atlas just a higher budget version of The Fountain?

I have only read two FR novels: Prince of Lies and its sequel Crucible: The Trial of Cyric the Mad. I enjoyed them both. The drama, the action and it was fairly well written.

Well, in some cases, victims soil themselves. If the authorities weren't an option and I would have to take care of them I would probably strip them, wash them and put them in a tracksuit. If they feel violated, that's their problem. Even though I might have inadvertently touched their...

It's subtle but it's in all the Batman movies. Everytime he leaves when someone's talking to him he actually just cut the cheese. It all culminates to the point where Selena leaves while he's talking and he says to himself: "So, that's what that smells like."

Funny, given that Gotham is slang for New York.

How cool was the plane scene though? I would love to see the behind the scenes footage on how they did that.

Nukes aren't particularly unstable. They're complicated devices which can survive falls from planes. Usually if a nuke is damaged it will be disabled, i.e. it won't blow up.

*Spoilers also* *Massive Spoilers* I was entirely engrossed throughout the length of the film. I choked up as I realized Bruce was going to sacrifice himself. And then you have these happily ever after scenes. It ruins the perceived sacrifice of Batman. The whole movie was about...

Thanks for all the suggestions and new insights. I'm gonna look into the mentioned books. It didn't occur to me that pillaging armies ravaged the lands so they could feed their troops. I just thought they simply did it because they could.

Mornin' everyone, I'm fleshing out some parts of a setting I'm working on and right now I'm focusing on the various armies of this campaign. Does anyone know of any books or documentaries focusing on the logistics of running an army. It's your standard high magic fantasy setting, so any army...

I gave it a shot and watched two episodes. Wasn't bothered to watch more. This pretty much sums up my feelings: Family Guy True Blood - YouTube

I think the movie would make complete sense if at the end bursting out of the Engineer would not be an alien but M. Night Shyamalan looking into the camera, whispering: "Shyamaland!" Or if before they do something stupid they would say it: Before taking off his helmet: "Hi, my name is Charlie...

Did the squid at least pick up the check?
