Huh? Karate Kid has nothing to do with Shyamalan or am I missunderstanding what you are trying to say?

I don't feel they did such an ok job, considering Letty is slightly miffed that her boss is slaughtering dozens of people because 'why not' and that Dom's plan involve setting a cable across the highway. To be fair, they do react and mention it (and Lin adds shots of people exiting their...

I maintain that Tokyo Drift is a bit lame, but that there something very enjoyable about it taking the age old dance movie formula (success through hybridization - in dance movies it's classical with street, here us cars with japanese cars) to deliver a surprisingly positive message. I guess at...

I am a big Shyamalan's apologist, but he is making it tough for me. In Lady in the Water and The Happening there was still a couple good scenes here and there, but in the Last Airbender there was at best a couple good shots! I'll pass on this one.

I am no expert, but isn't he spending his time on the 3 pts line during this serie, making it tough to rebound the ball?

The bottom half of the draw played today and all four match got completed (several matches ran long, also on the WTA side, so it was not a given). Ferrer made sure to make things as uncomfortable as possible for Anderson. Refusing to miss, turning defense into attack and then just jerking...

Son of Ram?n Antonio Gerardo Est?vez.

Home court + Andersen back could do the trick for Miami, but I would suspect a game seven is a strange beast where nerves come into play. It should be fun.

We do have our round of 16: Djokovicmade a point to blow away a slightly disappointing Dimitrov and he reaches the fourth round without having to spend much time on court. The only question mark is that near the end of his match he required the trainer to get a shoulder massage, but that did...

Not a drop of rain today, so the top half finished its second round and the bottom half its third. Not much to say about the top half other than Isner [19] and Tipsarevic [8] had to play for five sets against Harrison and Verdasco respectively. Klizan played a very good and aggressive first...

I have the feeling they can start building a Roy Hibbert statue in Indianapolis.

Obviously, EA would not drop PS4 support, but it's fair to assume in such a scenario that they would prefer if people bought Xbox One and if multiple consoles owners bought the Xbox One version of their games. The money they could spend and the design decisions they could make to favor the Xbox...

Today, it rained. The few seeds that managed to finish their match (Djokovic, Dimitrov, Paire, Nishikori, Fognini) all won. Kohschreiber is also through, but without playing (Lu withdrew). Today it rained. We have the anticipated Djokovic vs Dimitrov though and it could be a good one. It...

Of all the FF tunes, Shadow's theme is the only one I find myself humming from time to time.

DNA is in every cell though. What's so special about blood that would make you able to clone the mammoth now and not before?

I always assumed that the main motivator was to have a name that would not be constantly mispronounced and/or forgotten by western interlocutors. I guess that motivation falls into the 'trying to integrate' category though, but with a 'let's not even hope that these retards will ever learn' vibe...

Didn't they found frozen mammoth meat that was still edible a few years back? Or maybe it wasn't a mammoth? Google-fu time:http://www.cracked.com/article_19724...l-work_p2.html

At the end of the day, it's still some work that will need to be done (font size, UI, controls) for a feature most don't care about (even if I had a Vita I would not care about it). Luckily, it's a rather minor offence considering it should not be a lot of work and it's hard to classify the...

The big match of the day was Monfils vs Gulbis that the frenchman won in four sets. Gulbis will have some regrets over that one, because he rallied from a break down and then won the first set tie-breaker, was a break up in the second that he lost 6-4 and a break up in third that he lost in a...

Maybe the nurse is available because his father has died and he lied about it to make the sell smoother. Anyway, I think the character is a lot better now because at first he was just too transparent in his suck-up attempts, while now it's a lot less clear.

Pretty sure that's filed next to Napoleon canonballing away the nose of the Sphinx in the fictional history cabinet.

This match, along with Monfils', seem to, at the very least, have fired up the underdogs. Goffin offered a stern resistance to world N?1 Djokovic. The young belgian has less weapons than Brands so it was harder for him to consistently take the game to the serb, but, helped by a Djokovic that was...

Chinese teenagers whose parents work in factories do not go to Luxor.

That's world wide sales I'll assume. So: these sales will come in part from emerging markets (central and south america, middle east, eastern europe, south east asia, etc) and from secondary targets in established markets (children of lower income families). Basically it means the games released...

Best episode of the season and one of the very best episode of the show without a doubt. Something in particular impressed me: some characters from time to time almost become caricatures of themselves, but here I felt there was a lot of nuance and ambiguity written in all the characters, working...

I thought you were quoting from "Asterix and Cleopatra" there so I had to google and found this:

The most important thing is understanding that being the DM is not about winning against the players, but about crafting a good story for them (a good story is not them being crushed by insurmountable odds nor them saving the world despite acting haphazardly). After that, there are a lot of...

The Brands vs Nadal match should be a must watch in tennis schools, filed in the chapter 'how to play when you are the underdog'. Brands did just about everything right: shot selection, attitude, game plan... the whole package. Brands had a couple things working for him though: big weapons (1m96...

If the chinese teenager thing is retarded, it's really three order of magnitudes less significant than the Yucatan situation. For all we know, it's a relatively trivial restoration job to fix what he has done in Luxor.

Actually, it's a bit like the dark secret of the video game industry, but I remember it clearly being mentioned by Nintendo representatives around the time of the launch of the DS Lite and Brain Age, when the Wii was lurking in the horizon (so mid-2006). They explained how among their targets...

They got him at 'no income tax'! More seriously, it must have been a hell of a sale pitch. I guess they played the 'club of historical importance' card, the 'no sharing the position with anyone else' card and the 'we are building something new and grand, and the proof that our ambitions are...

I have a stat question: do the steals from one team count as turnovers from the other?

A little update to say we know the names of the two qualifiers in Federer's part of the draw. The first one was Pablo Care?o Busta who, contrarily to what I said, was the dangerous player lurking in the qualies. This young spanish player was on the rise and at the door of the top 100 a couple...

From a business point of view: why would they not? It cost practically nothing and can boost content they sell and/or be sold to content providers.

I don't think you make a good point with your TV example, because, without even going into planned obsolescence and other snafus, the importance is not that it 'look[s] like new in the outside' but that usage brings it closer to its death. You do make a good point with the value of novelty...

Please elaborate.

What does 'a generation ahead of high end gaming PC' means though? What is 'a high end gaming PC' in the context of today's video game market? Obviously it's not the most powerful PC you can build, but more something like the average PC of the top 30% of 'core' gamers. If you look at it that...

Just playedTo The Moon(available on steam) a six or seven'ish hours long adventure game. I would say that both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness is that it is a labor of love. It's a great strength, because it chooses to tell a very original story on a very unique topic that feels...

Maybe the 3 Xbox worth of power is what devs can expect to be available, which statistically probably means something like one Xbox in the could for five or six units sold (guesstimation).

Instead of creating a new thread, I'll post the winner list of the Cannes Film Festival here (Spielberg was president of the jury): Best Actor: american legendBruce 'the man who killed John Wayne' Dernfor his part in Alexander Payne's road movie Nebraska (borderline senile father and going...
