Who cares what the average viewership is? The people who get to decide if there will be a third season or not, that's who. Them and those who wonder if there will be a third season or not.

That's very anticlimactic of you!

If both ice caps melt completely, the estimation is a raise of 60 meters of the sea level, so yeah, but the temperature and the time frame needed for that to happen are way out of the boundaries of the current discussion though. What's more in line with it is a pessimistic estimate for the next...

There is something that is not very clear to me. I understand that if we don't curb global warming, what we farm, gather and hunt to eat today will not work or even exist in tomorrow's warmer Earth. I understand that melted ice caps in tomorrow's warmer Earth would put today's New York under...

Taxi Driver. Fun fact, if you are currently 17 year old, there is about one out of four chances that your movie is Titanic!

Yeah the trio of investigators and Seymon wuwu. And if you want to split hairs, there is a number of flavor shots (aerial shots of the city, etc) that are not focalized and there are several shots of the dead Casper with Birdman that breaks the system, but it does it to set the story in motion...

Boudin is the french word for blood sausage. I am not a huge fan, but it's pretty good.

Didn't we establish 7816523 posts ago that they chose to tell the story strictly from the point of view of the trio of investigators? Didn't we also already establish the pros and cons of such type of narrative focalization? Showing the capitain phoning for help or whatever would both break the...

Checking the Colbert-Tyson banter embedded above I then checked a couple other Tyson clips and in one he mentions carbon based life and the frequency of elements in the galaxy. It goes Hydrogen, Helium (inert), Oxygen, Carbon, others... And the first two account for 98% of the mass! So he goes...

Eros and Thanatos! Not that bizarre or original.

Let's play. It is indeed a staple of classic narration to have the guy who is trying his best to be straight (in more ways than one!) shoot unarmed people in the face... Maybe you do that after a thinly veiled death threat? Maybe because Osep was hoping he would stay to run the clubs and maybe...

I liked that Fear run even if the out of bound tricks are less impressive than good or clever play, because I find these very visually pleasing. Something about architecture and level design that tickle by pickle I guess. The Gauntlet PC run was also out of bound for a good third of it and...

The Talos Principle(PC but announced for PS4) A bit late to the party, but there isn't much of a party as after searching the board it appears only Iannis (who praised it in the Religion thread in general) and me (who thought it looked promising in the E3 2013 thread and mentioned it based on...

Yes and not exactly:http://www.snopes.com/photos/people/kevincarter.asp. Here is a big carebear because you might need it after that snopes read:

That jfk with Marilyn picture is a recent picture made with look-alikes by a photographer, Alison Jackson, who specializes in that type of photos. Like, this is not Lady Di.

On a side note, I wondered how much of an impact these GDQs have on M?decins Sans Fronti?res and it so happens that the yearly budget of MSF is north of 1 billion dollar! (http://www.msf.org/sites/msf.org/fil...mmary_2014.pdf).

I was like "this is retarded!" and then I remembered that I used to say "Radiateur ?lectrique" (electric heater) in an attempt to make tennis players lose their focus on key points. While watching TV of course. Why electric heater you ask? I have no idea. I guess the random nature of it was...

Well... instead of an adaptation that would be original material. Color me cautiously pessimistic.

There is no formality for copyright. You automatically own the copyrights of what you create (as long as it is "materialized" in some form - so to own the copyright of something you said, you must put it in writing).

I am a big fan of Dragon Quest, must I must say IX left me underwhelmed. Let's hope they do better this time!

That item mode in TGM2 was fun! And single player double is some mutant stuff.

An amazing game in more ways than one.

I must confess that I tried playing Bastion last September and its terrible terrible frictionless combat made me drop it very very fast (54 minutes says Steam). Also, since the narrator thing has been copied to death after it, it lost all of its freshness for those who play the game now. Did not...

Or just have a magic johnson!

As far as I am concerned, the Hogan sex tape came from the wrong family member.

Silly questions: since exoplanets are detected by the dimming of the light that occurs when they travel between us and their star, doesn't it mean that 1) Planets that have very long years will take a very long time multiplied by three or four to be detected? 2a) Planets that don't have an orbit...

Since this is a bit like the "general video game thread" I have a question: Tembo The Badass Elephant? Anyone played that? I don't like the art style, but it's made by Game Freak. That's the studio that makes Pok?mon (whatever), but I am mostly intrigued because a few years back they made a...

While not super original, I really like the structure of the show. Maybe they should have put the ellipsis after 3 episodes instead of 4, but maybe they didn't have 5 episodes worth of investigation. The lines are still problematic though... What noble savage said about the different...

We really have no idea who killed Semyon's right hand man.

My question is only semi-rhetorical. I can't think of scene without any of those 5 characters, but that does not mean there isn't. This type of narrative focalization favors situations where we don't understand wtf is going on, because the characters also don't. The ripple effect of some...

Was there any scene in all episodes so far that did not have in it one of the 4 main characters or Birdman?

The fraudsters already proved a low level of morality and a reasonable level of ingenuity. I am not sure I would mess with such guys, because that could backfire. That said, if their little trick put them in the clear when it comes to paypal, I don't see how it is legal, so it should be possible...

That visit to the parents is an exposition scene to show the kind of man Velcoro is. It works very well because it manages to say a lot of things about the man in a short and enjoyable scene. If anything, the lack of repercussion for it, also helps paint a context of distrust with local...

It's a remake of Saturday Night Fever. It's all about Stayin' Alive.

Lubezki is also the cinematographer of the XXIst century Terrence Malick movies (New World, Tree of Life, To The Wonder and up and coming Knight of Cups). So yes he is a badass of the highest order.

Just played throughHer Story. It's a game about understanding a police case by browsing a database of interview clips. As you jump around within the chronology of the 7 depositions, little by little you understood what happened and who are the different characters of the story. The...

I hear some of the original Ghostbusters was shot in L.A. Imagine that!Ghostbusters (1984) - Filming Locations - IMDb

Was it already posted? Hits close to home these days. (40 seconds in).

And most importantly: that came through. We noticed that watching the episode.
