I'm going to make an App for that. Woman enters a pin from her phone, transmits it to yours consenting to sex on a certain date. Genius! (Don't you fuckers steal it.)

Karloff posted my thoughts. The thing is, Chuk, I don't view them as the "same"--they are different Supermen. Superman is one comic that has gone through so many eras and so many iterations, that I don't really view him as having a decent baseline. Have you seen how douchey modern superman is in...

And the counter still stands--what if both parties are drunk. Right now, the man gets blamed. But there is no rational reason for that given the precepts of the original problem: Being that consent is impossible while drunk. So if both parties are drunk, neither should be able to consent. Yet we...

From Wikipedia. Science and technology in Israel is one of the country's most developed sectors. The percentage of Israelis engaged in scientific and technological inquiry, and the amount spent on research and development (R&D) in relation to gross domestic product (GDP), is the highest in...

Yeah, I agree on the Metropolis part--it really stood out. The thing I think Snyder was going for was to show how comfortable Superman was with his powers, vs how alien they were to Zod. Like while they were in a building that was collapsing, Zod looks scared and runs out....Even though it was...

Well, his father was a mutant down syndrome lion man...so, he got what he got. (lol, thought Conner was his last name, no?)

Elba's "Where would you rather be?!" speech was hysterical. Half that was tongue in cheek homages to how Anime characters make dumb dramatic "speeches" even when their audience is just one other person, or a friend, and Elba really pulled it off well if that was supposed to be the joke (Which I...

Yeah, which is expounding on this post. Which was in response to this post. I said it wasn't internally consistent, at all. And that's okay. It can't be analyzed deeply for that, because that wasn't really it's intent. It's all homages to other genres. And kind of silly. In fact,when it does try...

I don't think it's really lee-way with reality. Rather it's the framework of the world that we hold them to. Sometimes directors get lucky, or they are really good, and they can have really open ended, loose frame work and that's acceptable because they spin the story that way, or they craft...

It's acceptable, yes. The point of the post thought was to show the movie was sloppy with internal consistency too--it gave up that in order to work in it's homages and because GDT felt dramatic effect was more important, which I don't think was a bad call. You just said everything was...

The name of the one guy is Conner. His mother? Sarah Conner. And Ron Pearlman is his father. Lots of history.

It's amazing what sycophants some people can be.

As Mesen said, it's a BS excuse. He obviously did everything he could on his own, then he hit a wall somewhere. Who knows what it was. But he had the hope that Sony could bail him out and he would partner with them, and run the server--they refused. Rather than admit he just couldn't finish it...

Floating staring at the breech* was worded badly, I meant floating "around" the breech, so little like submerged platforms floating in the water. And yeah, it would make a boring movie--which is why you toss in a small scene with them doing it, and then show the aliens able to put a pulse out...

Saw it at home, the lack of weapons is still a valid complaint that goes against their internal consistency. Weapons were always extremely effective, even just trash weapons (Oil Tanker, Storage Cars.)....While the Jaegers had built in weapons, they used their fists, a lot. It made no sense that...

The head fake original content/backlash was inventive, I suppose--it's like a kid breaking his own toy after getting into a fight so he could escape blame. He should just have admitted he had issues which he needed Sony to resolve and they refused, and he can't release without it. End of story.

Yeah, as Tol said, the aggressive nature of using Assaults really requires an "oh shit" button. If you bust into a room and there are 5 aliens, you really need two rounds to mop up--and the smoke grenade buys you that. Once you have that smoke grenade? The assault strategy, despite seemingly...

I did 3 Assaults, 2 Support, 1 Sniper. 1 Support was smoke grenade oriented, so two smokes per match, with +40 defense/larger area. Assaults wore heavy armor, combined with their bonus health perks and tactical sense +5 Defense for every enemy, it made them beasts when they broke into a room...

That thread compared it to True Blood--then some guy said it was bad and he only watches because nothing else is on afterDexter. That thread is full of fucking morons.

Was none for about a year. Now playing P1999 and UOForever. As sad as it is, I find those games far more engaging--and I have no rose colored glasses about how shitty they are in terms of production, and even things like balance/mechanics (lol, root line of spells.)

Well, that just ruined my day

Yeah, season 1 was amazing. But these writers have fallen into the classic Network TV trap--rather than the story coming first, the need to produce more episodes with star-driven marketing is coming first. This is the only reason Brody is still alive and/or relevant. His story has become so...

I know you're trolling, but this is a really fucking stupid comment. Avatar wasextremelyshallow. The bad guys were absolutely one dimensional assholes, that had no redeeming qualities and were full of "evil" cliches. While the Na'vi had all good qualities, even if those good qualities were...

Russia produced Putin. It can't be all bad.

There is a theme in the show kind of showing the degradation of "Gangster Society", Bunk says something of it in his speech to Omar, about how despite the older generation being bad men, they still had rules. You see it in a few other places, too--like the Sunday truce, and what not. The...

Scientists at theNational Ignition Facilityachieved a sum total greater energy out than in last year, and supposedly, they've been able tofar exceedthat power output through the adjustment of the lasers. From what I understand, it's just "flash in the pan" fusion? Thus far, and not sustainable...

Well, in the shows defense--the writers probably agree with you. Anyway, I mainly watch because I love juxtaposing this with Boardwalk and seeing the difference in cultures. I know dramatic flair keeps them both from being wholly historically accurate, but even in their fun-house mirror...

Yeah, it was a logical lie--just commenting how easy it came to them. But that's pretty standard for CEO's, I've never met one that wasn't easily as deceptive as anything Heisenberg could throw out there, because that's the nature of their job, glad handing the board, their holders, and the...

Well, the thing to remember, is that Eliot and Gretchen seem to be fairly accomplished liars in their own right. In Season 1, they tell their friends that Walter is the one who perfected their first patent formula on some kind of crystal--and this lead to Gray Matter taking off. In Season 5...

Yeah, that's true on the mystery part--every time and author lets something sit out there for a while, the imagination of what it is becomes so fantastic that eventually what it "really" is falls flat. Hitchcock's school of horror still holds true--nothing beats what your audience can imagine...

Re-watched a few episodes. Couple more thoughts on Gretchen and Eliot. I think one big thing everyone does with Walt, is judge him based on the person he was by the end of the series. However, re-watching season 1? You see a guy that could take endless piles of shit shoved at him and simply...

Same, my Necro is 45, and I'm playing him mainly to farm for my future warrior. It's insane how many groups just sit around needing tanks on this server. I supposed I should do SK, but I don't want the exp penalty.

Every exchange will have two national, non-profit (No shareholders), providers on them--one of which is the provider that does all the federal employees. It's notquitea public option, but it's close. In any case, it will prevent absurd rate hikes simply due to a compelled market--it's still a...

In my original post, all I said was that we've never seen Walt do "this" (Make up a problem) to convince himself. So why do people assume that? It's far more likely something did happen, and Walt's pride carried a reaction much bigger than normal. That is the theme we've seen in the show...

True and most authors will say that--that's why a lot don't comment on books, because they view them as belonging to the public. Someone else in the thread said he realized most authors simply do NOT know what happened--and that's right, especially in a collaboration. But even with all that...

Someone is still mad. Don't be angry man. Just read the posts you're responding to before jumping into a conversation, when I can highlight things I said--showing you didn't read, it's a bad thing. Edit: Also, you should listen to podcasts--he said was he doesn't believe they are"bad" people...

Good question, I want to know this.

Poor Trollface, his self esteem must be in the gutter right now because of this Asian racism. Would you give him a pity fuck, Kur?

Ding ding ding.

Pretty much, yeah. Walt's never manufactured or fabricated a problem to justify his actions. He's always been pretty good about assessing the problem, and understanding it. The "lie" comes during his solutions. When people point to the "big lie" of the show "I'm doing this for my family", it's...
