    Star Wars: Stand Alone Movie (Not Episode 7)

    It has the potential to result in some great movies. The main trilogies movies are forced to be these grand epic adventures where the fate of everything and everyone is in the balance. Stand alone movies can be anything. Anything. The brand is the universe, so you don't even have to do the Jabba...

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    The true champions are Switzerland who beat the fake champions Spain fair and square! By the way, how incredibly lame was that that Spain won all four of the knock out matches on the so marvelous score of 1-0?

    Mad Men

    You're talking about the guy who created his own job in the firm, sensed the wind turning toward TV before anyone else at the company, never got half the respect he deserved and yet still works there!

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    The specifics of the rotations can be argued, but the cold hard fact is that when you claw back from a 15 points deficit in the 2nd quarter to find yourself with a lead with 4 min left in the third, not being able to keep it close until the end is a bit lame.

    OKC shoots like crap for most of the quarter, yet it ends with only a three points gap. That's encouraging.

    I don't hit many boxes in your list of grievances: My 'ancient' consoles work fine. The sound from the custom RGB scart cable out of my Turbo Duo is messed up, but the console also has a headphone jack built in so this took care of that. You sometime have to fight a little with NES or...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Maybe he thinks the Mountain will kill Oberyn in a straight battle. A trial by combat seems like a good way to kill an enemy without having to worry about any kind of additional rancor from his family as the deceased willingly took part in the fight.

    Mad Men

    One of the very best episode of the show because it was 100% about the very core of it: social transition from the '50s and ad making. The episode is also interesting in the way it shows that while there is evolution for women, homosexuals are not in the same wagon just yet.

    Bron fighting for Tyrion would have been seriously out of character and he explained it very well to both Tyrion and us.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Part acting, part costume (no armor), part scene construction (sitting almost hunched) and subject (injured, both physically and morally), but that scene impressed me because the Hound looked frail in it, which is not exactly the word that springs to mind when we think about him.

    I have enough originalgamesto play without starting to play emulatedgames. The only exception would begamesthat are greatly enhanced by two features only available through emulation: increased speed and save state. The best example was playing through the first Dragon Quest at 500% speed!

    I actually bought Neutopia II a couple weeks ago and played through it last week. OK game. Played it on my Turbo Duo too! Thing is not ageing so well sadly. I have a lot of picture signal that is leaking into the sound for some reason. Also, modern LCD TVs just rape theseretrogames. I guess my...

    The Legend of Conan-2014 Arnold Returns!

    Sometimes films are selected for the competition based on unfinished material and the director and editor have to rush to have a finished product to show at the festival.

    The Legend of Conan-2014 Arnold Returns!

    Cannes is first and foremost a film market. You have a couple dozen films in the main selections (competition and 'un certain regard'), several screenings of 'out of competition' movies, several restored classics, a couple of selections of a dozen film that take place during the festival but are...

    Nets should be leading 3-2 but a severe lack of clutch play makes them lose 4-1. Lame.

    They digitally remastered a version for the 25th anniversary, re-released it and made DVDs and BluRays out of it. I highly recommend watching it in one of these magnificent versions if you never saw it or only have distant childhood memories of it, because it remains to this day the pinnacle of...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    These last few possessions by the Nets were a bit shit. They suddenly forgot what they did to be tied at the bottom of the fourth and looked more eager to get a 6th personal on James than to move the ball and score.
