    The NSA watches you poop.

    As I have been saying, the real person who needs to fry for this is whoever approved giving this jackass his clearance. Hope he likes being a ballerina, because when they ship him to Gitmo he is going to be the one working the pole for a change. Anyhow, as a liberal I am disappointed at how...

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    Hey, compared to what Melrin and General Klansman do in the main thread, the liberals in here are being positively polite.

    Man of Steel

    This could really turn it around for Van...... I mean Superman. Superman is a hard character to write for, especially in an action context. Thats why the better stories with him are more cerebral, like Kingdom Come or Allstar.

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    He was Lumie Lite while Lumie was busy stocking up his bunker full of ramen noodle packs and chainmail armor for the lizard takeover in 2012. The dude is a self described Libertarian, which should technically mean he doesn't belong in a conservative thread anymore than he would a liberal circle...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Edit- Just so we are clear, I really wish we had real privacy again, but the cherry has been popped on that one. I feel that the best use of public grassroots outrage is to make the best of a bad situation, which means tons of oversight and byzantine levels of administration to prevent it from...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Not only that, but they don't even have to do it directly. They can just "accidentally" slip your furry porn surfing history to 4chan the moment they want to torpedo you in the public eye.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Reagan greased the wheels a lot with setting the precedent of the executive bypassing congress when it wanted to do something illegal, as well. Cheney did more to centralize power in the executive branch than any single man in American history. Obama is mainly just formalizing a lot of it...

    Man of Steel

    It comes back to the principle problem with writing for a character like Superman. Its hard to have dramatic tension when your principle protagonist is basically invincible/invulnerable. Its something that the storytelling in Superman has struggled with for years and why they introduced the...

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    You pretty much made my point for me here. Your average liberal or centrist WANTS input from strangers to make a more informed decision. Your garden variety right winger does not want to know about anything outside of their little bubble. The downside is that the left is rarely in loc step...

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    That is largely due to the moving of goal posts that has happened on the right in the last couple decades. Nixon and Reagan would be liberals to most of these people if they ran on the policies they enacted.

    Man of Steel

    Its what happens when you have a really solid actor playing a villain who has a role beyond being a punching bag for the protagonist. Helps when you give the actor enough time and dialog to build up the character, too (something Cumberbatch need more of in ST:ID) to get into people's heads...

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    Not trying to be insulting here, but the kinds of people with knowledge of and access to the internet, plus the abundance of time to post frequently, are generally going to NOT be right leaning people. First off, it takes a certain mind set to want to interact with a wide variety of people with...

    Movies That Would Be Made, If You Could Make It Happen

    I would make three movies/franchises if I had the power to do so: Live action Season of the Mist (Sandman) I would do the original three Shanarra books by Terry Brooks as a trilogy. I would make a Snowcrash movie.

    Doctor Who

    Colin Baker caused a shit ton of problems, albeit not necessarily his fault. He had immense issues with the costuming (which was bad) and was generally scripted as the asshole doctor during his entire run. He was not well received by fans, who were hoping for a return to the more comedic and...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Yeah, not sure who the fuck signed off on that opening song. Honestly, the best episodes of Enterprise were the ones where Archer was overcoming his post Xindi war stress and the evil universe two part episode that tied in the tholian web.

    Ok, I got confused about times with Disdained and forgot he was European. Our game is not going to happen, mostly due to the holiday weekend and Arrested Development fucking things up on my end. Admin it however you wish and lets move on. As for stunty action, I am available tonight in the...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    I doubt anyone is getting in line to fuck Thatcher or other powerful women, though. And Ron Jeremy is a stud because men like the idea that a fat ugly dude can bang hot chicks. His celebrity status has nothing to do with what women think of him.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    There was a lot of Borg fatigue after Voyager ended and tossing them into Enterprise just added to it. Plus, considering how primitive the tech was in Enterprise relative to the Borg, any sort of interaction was really stupid at that point in the series history. And of course, why in the fuck...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Enterprise had some descent ideas, but it suffered from being on UPN and the writers thinking that shoving boobs in our faces would make nerds give certain things a pass. At its worst, it overused time travel and marginalized the borg. At its best, it tied into the mirror universe stuff and...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Regarding DS9, if you are going to watch it, skip the first two seasons entirely. Basically, the point at which they introduce Elam Garrek is when the show gets good. TNG really had nothing but shit prior to season three, also, honestly. Voyager had some pretty shitty characters in it and the...

    Arrested Development

    The people hating on this probably only watched a couple episodes. The first three or four are mostly setup. The major payoffs are the first Tobias and Maebey episodes. The Gob shit was funny as hell, too. Honestly, once it got rolling, only the Buster episode felt flat to me. I am glad...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    This thread has been entertaining, but as much as I feel like Tanoomba's feminism regurgitations put him in the "may as well start sucking dicks" column, I stand by my original assertion that its possible for older guys to have genuine female friends. The thought of fucking them is going to...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    I think it was. There were entire episodes like the song flute one or the Riker in the insane asylum one that essentially were introspective character pieces. It was also jammed to the gills with Shakespearian references. Not sure what a show would have to do to qualify as cerebral among...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    TNG was a good show, but it was as you said very cerebral. It took three seasons before Rodenberry more or less got marginalized and it picked up, which is pretty much what happened with both DS9 and Voyager (though the latter never got especially good). The best episodes of TNG were generally...

    Dumar is rapidly becoming the Utnayan of this tread. Sorry about your penis, bro. As someone who like Kruegen watched the originals before TNG even existed, I greatly enjoy both for thier merrits. Sorry you can't see past your own nerd hipsterism on this one.

    What I was saying was that Khan was unable to overcome his nature. Had he done so, he might have been able to free his people and simply be imprisoned.

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    Well, there are people who fuck who have no intention of getting into a relationship. If you think all female friendships lead to one party trying to jump the other, then I think you are still at the point in your life where your dick is making most of your decisions. At that point, you are...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    ID had two main themes. Maturity (the whole Kirk not being ready for the chair thing) and vengeance (Khan wanting to fuck over the people who used his fellow supermen to blackmail him, Kirk wanting to avenge Pike, Spock bottling up his feelings about Vulcan until they bubbled over), which were...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    Actually, I have had one or two female friends bail my ass out of serious shit at odd hours of the night and put me up when shit went south with life in various ways. I admit it is more the exception than the rule, as I tend to hang around tomboys (married one too) and none of the women I...
