    I don't know what color the dress is; what I can say is the picture is lavender and brown-gold.

    Your Favorite Painting/Artist?

    I love me some Vinnie Vee Gee. I really find a lot to love from both the Impressionists like Bazille and Monet and the Post-Impressionists like Van Gogh and Gauguin but these are four of my all time favorites. I can't find a print of "crows" of which I am really happy with the colors...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    No, he and his mother took refuge in Rivendell after the death of this father, and Elrond fostered/raised on him. Aragorn was actually the descendant of Elrond's twin brother Elros, (who chose to be human, a choice afforded to him as a half-Elf, while Elrond chose Elfen life).

    Interstellar (2014)

    It had the most tone-deaf marketing campaign of all time, with the weird voice-altered EDM in the trailer. They changed the name of the film three times: "All You Need Is Kill", "Edge of Tomorrow", and "Live. Die. Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow", with the last title change coming for the Blu Ray. It...

    Interstellar (2014)

    There is no paradox. Period, full stop. There is only a paradox if you think about time as single-track linear line of causality from the 3-D perspective. What the movie postulates is that 5th dimensional beings exist; as a result, whenever they come into existence in a single-world...

    This stuff isn't for anyone here (probably rather, you know internet). Its for people on the coasts whose job is mainly to impress each other with how "cool" they look. The people who like these close are the same people who love Lena Dunham and think her being naked on her own show is so...

    Interstellar (2014)

    People snidely commenting on "plot holes" (or in this case "crappy science") when really its their own lack of observation/not getting it (again in this case, 20+ year old astronomy "common knowledge") is a particular b?te noire of mine.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Eh, at this point, I don't know; it wouldn't surprise me for Abrams to be playing the game as much as Spoiler man and these names be fake. It does tend to cast Spoiler Man in a poor light, though.

    Interstellar (2014)

    No, he couldn't. What he saw in the room in the past is only and specifically what he did in the Tesseract in the future, no more or less. In the Tesseract, he is able to mimic the 5D nature of the Bulk beings in a 3D space; its all taking place in the 5D "now". The actions he took in the...

    Interstellar (2014)

    Because from the 3D perspective you can't change the past, and from the 5D perspective, you don't have to because its all "now"; they don't need to loop. If there are 5D bulk beings, they *already* exist across all times, from our perspective, as they move through time without the need for...

    Interstellar (2014)

    But that's the point of loops: nothing changes. It's always that way. With a single timeline, the events in the "past" will happen the first time through, as it were, with the only difference from any other action is the causal agent from our perspective would be in the future. It's on the...

    Tell us your Mippo Tales

    In the early 90's, I was head of security at a nightclub in SW Louisiana. One of a number of famous acts to play the club, "Me So Horny" 2 Live Crew was coming to do a show, so the owner sent me to pick them up at the airport. Contrary what one would think, they were really nice guys, totally...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    I thought it all came from Obi-Wan saying he fought with Anakin during "the Clone Wars", which is a kind of dumb 70's thing that gained a new life when Lucas tried to make sense of everything he said in the Prequels.

    Because due to the time dilation of the final swing around Gargantua to send Brand on to Edmund's planet, she was arriving there at about the same time Cooper was waking up on Cooper Station. The 90% comment was setting up the last exchange between Cooper and Amelia as they accelerated into...

    As described by Kip Thorne, the anatomy of a "black hole" fairly complex. There is the event horizon, from where nothing escapes, everyone knows blah blah blah. Inside the black hole, no one knows but theoretical physicists speculate (listed by Thorne as an "educated guess" in the book" that...

    Interstellar (2014)

    There is no "loop"; there aren't any "run-throughs". Its just a single timeline. You are looking at it from a 3-D linear progression of causality. From the 5-D perspective, there isn't any "past" or "future". For the bulk beings, time to them is just like terrain for us that rises and falls...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Word of the street is that SW does something to distort Hulk which turns him against his allies; hence the view of crazy Banner riding home on the Quinjet in the teaser.

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    I keep intending to write posts blasting it, but I have enjoyed my first couple of games. There is a ton of good here, but it never comes together and it probably won't take long for the shine to come off. I have played a fair amount of it, though, for what it's worth. If you loved Civ 5, you...
