In defense of Harrison Ford, I thought Morning Glory was pretty good!

I read through this thread and I did not understand it. What is the nature of the cheating that is happening?

Dennis Villeneuve is ok in my book. The scenario is written by Hampton Fancher (the guy who did the original screenplay for the original Blade Runner... but not much else it should be said) so... ok... and Michael Green... a guy who wrote some Smallville, some Everwood (?), some Heroes and some...

A non ironic cover of Britney Spears. While I am at it:

You guys realize that it's the Academy Awards and that Lauren Bacall and Mickey Rooney died in 2014? If they are not doing something special for the deaths of two of the last legendary stars of the golden age of Hollywood, they will not do something special for a popular comedian from the '90s...

Less dangerous than alcohol for an alcoholic!

Lego not being nominated for best animated feature film was weird, but Big Hero 6 winning over The Tale of Princess Kaguya is just wtf. Alexandre Desplat is a badass so it's ok, but it's true Zimmer's score for Interstellar was memorable. That said, the standout score this year for me was the...

The architectural drawings of Etienne-Louis Boul?e. XVIIIth century french neo-classic architect who was a visionary but also had very few of his projects actually built. GIS his name, or checkthis.

As Thri-kreen?

First half of the PSG - Chelsea game: 1) Who needs forwards when you can have a defensive trio score a goal like that? 2) LOL at David Luis changing the position of the spray mark for the free kick! I wonder if he will get fined for that.

The shorter the Order is the more likely I am to buy it! Well... working on the assumption that a short AAA game means a beautiful lean game devoid of filler. If it ends up being short and bland, it will go on the 'buy on the cheap if the opportunity arises' list.

And today's word is: Hagiography.

If the target on the Y axis is not the closest that the car can reach, there will be an infinite number of possible trajectories, making it difficult (maybe even impossible) to answer the questions properly. That said, my tired self does not even know what is the radius of the circle the car...

Diasporaby Greg Egan A pretty fascinating read filled with interesting ideas about post-humanity, particle physics, cosmology and universes with more than 3+1 dimensions. It feels a bit like Sci-Fi for and by institutes of technology students though: a lot of hard science, but not a lot of...

Just like the Jboots, it feels every time I use Chrome it's a little slower. I guess they add features that I use less and less and it bloats the whole thing.

Oh well... It's strange that I hit 100 because I did not put that many "strongly". /shrug

Ninja Assassin and V for Vendetta are produced by the Wachowskis. Not written nor directed by them.

What about Nukes with A.I.?

Do you still need anti-aliasing with 4k?

It still was a lot more entertaining than some of their previous meetings. There was some 'pushing the ball around without doing much of anything by fear of a counter-attack', but a lot less than usual between these two and there was a number of well constructed offensive points along with some...

No, I mean a lot of the jokes fall flat because of poor timing in line delivery or poor editing. An example that springs to mind is when Mortdecai flees on foot at some point and is like 'hahah! I am such a great runner!' then it cuts to the fight with the man servant and then it comes back to...

There are some good lines, there are some good jokes here and there and Paltrow (very sweet on the eye) is surprisingly convincing in the part of the woman in love with his wacky husband. As a whole though this is very poor. 90% of the comedic timing is off (sometime dramatically so), the plot...

For the 3rd year in a row at the AO the Djokovic vs Wawrinka match went the distance, but this one will not stay in memories as a classic because both players were very up and down and almost never played well at the same time. On top of that, the tight fifth set that everyone hoped for lasted...

Ghirardelli is safe from this kind of shenanigans since it is a company based in San Francisco that got bought by Lindt (a swiss chocolatier). I am not sure if they import and rebrand, manufacture in California with a swiss formula or just make their own thing, but anyway the situation is...

People need to play Yakuza 4. It might be a tad confusing at first considering it's one big mess of a story through all the episodes, but the game contains video summaries of the previous three and it has several new characters that have only indirect ties with the back story. The new...

Supremely strange first semi final: Berdych started super well and served from the first set, but from there started to be very nervous. He could not close the set on his serve, found himself in a breaker where a nervous and somewhat unlucky Murray could not turn the table on him... and instead...

Fantastic Four canon aside, if someone calls himself Dr. Doom, he is pretty likely to be some sort of emo blogger.

That's not always the case.

We got our other semi: WAWRINKAserved extremely well against Nishikori, dropping serve only once at the start of the third set with a cluster of unforced errors. On the other side of the net, Nishikori was a bit flat and only managed to keep it close in the third. In the end he was pretty...

1st semi final: BERDYCHscored a win over Nadal after a serie of 17 losses (a sad record he shares with Connors who lost 17 times to Lendl between '84 and '92). The spaniard made him a solid by playing very poorly, only getting his game going in the third set, but it was too little too late...

I am looking forward to the interviews for that one, because a super nervous Berdych played his worst match of the tournament and that ended in 6-2 6-0 for him and it event looked like Nadal was about to retire and suddenly in the third set Nadal stopped making unforced errors, managed to return...

Two quarters from the top of the draw: DJOKOVICmade life very difficult for Muller, by getting a lot of serves back in play, by serving extremely well himself and by having a machine-like efficiency once the rallies started, dispatching anything that dropped even remotely short and retrieving...

There is a distinct possibility that Lopez is a god among men: he now saved match points in three out of four matches. He has not won the 5th set against Raonic just yet though.

Miles Teller also played a secondary but key part in Rabbit Hole and was very very good in it. And it's a pretty solid movie too.

We have our two quarters for the bottom half of the draw: BERDYCHmade surprisingly light work of Tomic. He jumped out of the starting blocks for a 4-0 lead and then servers dominated until the end of the 2nd set. Berdych dominated the breaker and from a 2 sets to love lead, everything became...

News of his death are greatly exaggerated: the guy played a shitty match no doubt, but those have been few and far between in the last 13 months, he fought hard (when a couple years ago it would feel like he did not care when he played poorly) and in the end he was 4 points away from winning the...

The 3rd round in the bottom half of the draw saw just the single upset. Dimitrov was really tested by a very good Baghdatis, but the bulgarian managed to break early in the 5th to avoid a very tricky match ending. No such luck for Federer against Seppi as the swiss did not even reach the fifth...
