    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    I actually enjoyed this movie. Tom Cruise wasn't playing his normal Tom Cruise role. Emily Blunt was a hot bad-ass. It had some funny bits. Good popcorn flick. 4/5.

    If you're looking for a fleet,Jupiter Forceis alwaysrecruiting. We've got a tier 5 starbase, and all of the fleet holdings are unlocked and maxed out, in case there is fleet gear you want to pick up.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    In other news, Last Week Tonight's last episode melted the FCC servers. Excellent episode too.

    I hope she's back. That actress is fucking hot.

    Stargate Reboot Trilogy

    Pretty much. Though, if you've never seen the 90 minute version of Threads, I highly recommend it.

    Star Trek Online

    I'm still playing this, if playing can be defined by logging in once a day to slot up DOff and reputation projects. I usually farm rep marks on the weekends for an hour or two, then log off. I'm kinda burned out after 4.5 years of the same ol' shit, but the game can be fun if you're playing...

    Stargate Reboot Trilogy

    Thanks, man. Yeah, that bugs the shit out of me to this day. They create these awesome canon revealing episodes, then totally ignore them later. Should have been like this: Goa'uld. Arc lasts 2-4 seasons. Asgard/Replicators. Arc lasts 2-3 seasons. Nox/nemesis'. Arc lasts 1-2 seasons...

    A Million ways to die in the West

    It's currently sitting at 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. For comparison, Ted is at 68%. Most of the reviews I've seen since Friday are negative. I'm still going to watch it. It probably has enough dick jokes to warrant that.

    Stargate Reboot Trilogy

    Total SG nerd here. I have every episode of every series and all the movies available to me a the click of a button. Spoilering due to length and nerdiness: As for the new movies... Meh. I've never been a big fan of Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich's productions. These guys are pretty...

    Star Wars: Stand Alone Movie (Not Episode 7)

    Lucas hinted about it going away while they were in negotiations. Disney put out the blog saying it was toast after the sale.

    You overestimate the average persons vocabulary.

    Maleficent

    3.5/5 Jolie made the movie. Had they cast anybody else, it would have sucked.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    Their running at the speeds they do are a complete fiction. At a certain speed, it becomes much more efficient to bound than it does to run, and we're talking less than 100 kph, like a cheetah. Running works well for slow speeds, but there's a lot of upward force that speedsters completely...

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    Perfect example:Magneto's escape from his plastic prison in X2. In that sequence he's taking molecular iron and reforming it into ball bearings which he uses to kill everybody around him. But the reverse is possible too. He could take a steel I-beam and reduce it down to molecular iron, then...

    Star Wars: Stand Alone Movie (Not Episode 7)

    I don't get the reasoning behind them revisiting middle trilogy characters, except to keep that trilogy relevant. The thing is, that middle trilogy is a classic, so it'll be relevant without stand-alone character movies. A movie about Boba Fett? Very cool character, except that he's dead. Yoda...

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    I just finished watching this. It was pretty damn good, but was chocked full of technical problems which nobody here will give a fuck about. I'd say it's a solid 3.5/5. On par with X1, X2, and First Class.

    EQ Never

    No. The NPCs aren't scripted like that. They have a simple prioritized list of things they want and they go out and find/get it. They aren't statically bound to any particular area, like the Hollowshade Moor event. NPC groups will migrate to different areas and compete with players and NPCs to...

    EQ Never

    This is how I understood it as well. Once those goblins leave and the cave is empty, that makes the cave available to other critters to move in and set up shop. Maybe you scared off the goblins, but once that cave is empty orcs discover it and decide to move in. Once they have a basic camp...

    Star Trek - The Beyonder

    Uh, using an altered timeline to change shit is exactly what they did in the 2009 reboot.

    Star Trek - The Beyonder

    The events in First Contact changed the timeline. That's why there were frozen Borg in Enterprise. Hell, they even mention Zephram Cochrane talking about cybernetic invaders from outer space in one episode. That was the excuse for many of the canon changes in Enterprise, with the rest explained...

    Star Trek - The Beyonder

    Enterprise was Berman/Braga's attempt to reboot the franchise. It's all based on the events of the TNG movie First Contact, where the Borg go back in time and the crew of the Enterprise interact with Zephram Cochrane and make sure he makes his first warp flight. That's why Enterprise was so...

    Interstellar (2014)

    Nah. It's 153 pages, and a page usually clocks in at about 1 minute of movie. A lot of that script is describing visuals, and those take a lot longer to describe than to show on screen.

    Interstellar (2014)

    It's been about 15 years since I read Contact, but yes, there are some differences. There wasn't as much of the "science vs. religion" trope in the book. It was there, but it wasn't a primary focus. Ellie didn't go on the trip through the wormhole by herself; there were four other people that...

    Captain America: Winter Soldier

    I listened to this a couple of weeks ago. Then I scrolled down to the comments to see what his listeners thought. Man, what a bunch of fuckers. They were pissed that he was talking about a Marvel character. Apparently "Fatman on Batman" is supposed to only cover DC books? It was a good...

    Interstellar (2014)

    Awesome series! The "Science in the Capital" series was pretty good too.

    Interstellar (2014)

    I just finished reading the script from 2008. Pretty much everything in the new trailer is in there, but there are obvious character changes. The trailer ends at them going into the wormhole, which is about 25-30 minutes into the film, I figure. Potential Spoilers Based on the script, I...

    Interstellar (2014)

    I take it you didn't read the last sentence of mine that you quoted? And no, I don't hate science fiction. I hate shit that masquerades as science fiction. But like I said, this looks like it could be good, if they can explain the problems with the premise. EDIT: Just found acopy of the...

    Interstellar (2014)

    Really? How do you get stuff to the interior of Africa, or the northern part of India? It's not like they have highways and rail to everywhere in the third world, and not every city is sitting on the ocean or waterways. Remember, we're talking about world hunger here, not just in first world...

    Interstellar (2014)

    I didn't say that making the movie is ridiculous. I said the premise of the movie is ridiculous. Hell, we've had dozens of "world famine" science fiction stories, Soylent Green instantly comes to mind. In the past when world leaders had a famine, the problem was resolved by killing off people...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    When I saw May toss the Berserker staff, I laughed out loud. Good idea, May! I guess that opens the door for another berserker staff story in season 2.

    Interstellar (2014)

    I'm interested in seeing this, but so far it looks like they came up with a really stupid reason for the trip to where ever. People on Earth are running out of food, and engineers can't help them? Ridiculous. Water desalination and desert greening. One is an engineering problem, the other is a...

    Arrow

    That was some good TV. I still think Sara is the one. She's the one Oliver chose over Shado, resulting in her death. Sara has to be the other target. Not to mention that in the comics, the Black Canary's real name is Dinah Laurel Lance. Laurel should be the Canary, probably taking up the moniker...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Nah. ABC announced that they had ordered a full series back in October, but there's been no word on whether they were picking up a season 2. It's probably inevitable though. AoS is a great way to keep the Marvel buzz going. They need to better handle the movie cross-overs; the Cap 2 cross-over...

    Arrow

    Yep. Oliver isn't the reason Shado died; Sara is. Slade wants to drive Oliver to kill himself. Besides, we all know that Sara isn't Black Canary, Laurel is. Now that she knows that Oli is Arrow, and he knows she knows, there won't be anything holding him back from training her in season 3 to...

    The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

    I was fucking bummed when I heard Ferguson was leaving the Late Late Show. On the bright side, he's going to be hosting a new game show called "Celebrity Name Game", as well as executive producing "I Fucking Love Science" on the Science Channel.
