Let me help:

It is also very different, so don't expect 'more of the same'.

Harrelson and McConaughey were still executive producers for season 2 and so was Fukunaga. On top of that, the absolutely competent Justin Lin (who wrote and directed a couple well rated indies before being asked to helm the surprisingly decent Tokyo Drift - and who would blame him to have...

It does not even have to play that way. My version is that Burris goes to the meeting with Holloway, stays back (like in the station scene later) and folds back when things go south, letting the mercs do the dirty work. He then uses his knowledge of the underground tunnels to beat Woodrugh to...

The story establishes Burris and co are familiar with the tunnels while Woodrugh is not. Burris anticipating where Woodrugh exits does not require that high a suspension of disbelief. Burris wants Velcoro, Ani, the hard drive and the documents. Since there is an APB on them and he wants to...

Or the second for that matter since Caspere's lost daughter explained how she schemed to become Caspere's assistant.

In the end that was pretty classic noir. The ugly world, remains ugly, the ones who try to redeem or escape their past fail (but possibly open a door for other less tainted characters) and the story is more about the trajectory of the flawed (anti-)heroes in a flawed society than the...

And now for something completely different: a colombian harpist (who does not have a tape recorder in his nose).

R.I.P. Occulus Rift

This game seems to have pretty elaborate walking animations. In the above video you can see that there is at least three different cycles based on the declivity (or lack of thereof). I don't remember ever seeing something like that in another game.

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...
