The animations in this trailer are extremely bad. I mean the flying armor thing is the kind of result you would expect from a guy that hardly ever animated anything in his life. Buuuuuut... I am sucker for movies set during the antiquity so I'll keep a little optimism for this project.

I suspect that she turned a CIA asset (the living dead guy) into a KGB asset.

Petty Crocker is screwed in the head... *cough* More seriously though, what is that contraption on the hood of that car?

The Berdych - Nishikori was a stange affair, with both player rarely playing well at the same time. They both played a little better than in their first match though. I did not get to see the third set where apparently Nishikori found a "get out of jail free" card on break point at 3-3 and then...

Obviously the info is innocuous for all but a select few people. Things are not super clear, but since it involves former assets that Carrie managed, they probably don't want the info reaching Carrie or the assets themselves.

The thing that is a bit sad is that it's probably more profitable to shoot a remake that has 99.9% chances of being inferior to the original and release it than it is to rerelease the original movie in a crisp digital remaster.

Day 2 was a bit lame. Murray and Ferrer played a relatively close match, but the spaniard, who struggled with double faults though the whole thing, blinked at the end of both sets. The Wawrinka vs Murray match started very strangely by two breaks to love before turning into a pretty good battle...

Pershing and Pigs : snopes.com Oups! FSRPT!

It's the Masters' Cup this week, aka The World Tour Finals. You know the drill: two pools of 4, best 2 go to knock out phase with the first of a pool playing the 2nd of the other. POOL A: DJOKOVIC: Did not lose a match since the US Open. Hardly lost a set. FEDERER: Suffered a...

What lead to this situation and why can't a pacemaker or artificial heart help?

Even if you don't like the music, do yourself a favor and check the dancer on the 2nd track (2:50 onward... at first it's like 'huh?' and then it turns into 'WHAAAAAAAT? HOW?'). Apparently it's a traditional dance from Ivory Coast called Zaouli (not sure if it's the name of the dance or...

I am not too sure what to think about it. Further analysis would be needed to be sure, but I suspect that it is a pretty elegant use of the James Bond mythos and a pretty clever thematic/symbolic work, mainly around the idea of the old vs the new (old headquarters, new headquarters, old style...

Same. I think it was accidental misdirection, because Fitz said he would check the content of the phone for clues, so we were stuck in that mindset and expected him to find something when he checked the video clips. Not too easy to write it differently though. Maybe have Simmons mention the...

After all, comedy is not about the story, it's about the way the story is told. You have to admit The Martian is much more a comedy than it is a drama. It's almost a musical too!

It should be mentioned that Catwoman was the 2nd feature film of Pitof, a french special effect specialist, known for his work with Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. You know, the Jeunet who a few year prior graced us with Alien 4... Patty Jenkins of Monster fame should bring the base level of...

I thought Common was good in Hell on Wheels.

To make it clear to Lumie: if they don't live very long, it's not because they get killed by the government.

You must have a strange definition of an "event": the episode was choke-full of spying and counter-spying stuff and it resulted in a total shift of dynamics between the CIA characters and in Carrie getting the documents. They can't blow a plane every episode.

I saw it the other day and thought it was pretty cool (what's up with the morphing every three frames when there are close ups of Samus' face though?), but I am really not a fan of the reorchestration of the score.

I have never been a huge Tom Hanks fan, even if he stared in a number of movies I enjoyed, but he is very good in Captain Phillips.

Saw it today in a film festival and I think it just got released in the US. The movie is solid with a great cast, it's entertaining and engaging from start to finish. I feel the movie is a bit at odds with its closing statement though (see spoiler below) and there is something that bothers me a...

They did a full digital remaster of it a few years back for the 3D re-release. I believe it involved scanning in 4k the Super 35 material. The idea being that, since you only use part of a 4:3 Super 35 frame for a film that will be screened in 2.35:1, scanning the Super 35 stock allows to show...

Episode 3 was a notch under the first two. It also makes a strange narrative choice about the treatment of syphilis. The introduced the sweat box in a previous episode and now that they want to give someone a fever, they go for malaria (wikipedia spoiler: both techniques were used historically...

I know very little about the rules of american football... what's the rule about passing? In that Miami play, it's obvious that, like in rugby, you can only make passes backward. Does that mean you can only pass forward when you are the team on offense? Or is the quarter back the only player...

It's not about being lazy or lacking creativity, it's about creating a product with known brands that allows the marketing department to make a more precise revenue forecast aka minimizing risk. I'll let you decide if it's better or worse... On the up side, bad and/or generic ideas can make...

That's really what suspension of disbelief is about though. How believable, how internally coherent, is the fictional world that is presented to us. So it's not because there are people with super powers that it's A-Ok to have anything and everything happen in this fictional world.

I guess we'll never get that World of Darkness MMO we could have expected when CCP bought White Wolf... not a big loss as far as I am concerned, as it would have been in the contemporary setting, which I like a lot less than the Dark Age setting.

About the bamboo, while not said, I think it's reasonable to assume it has been brought there by the NASA people. If you don't care about ecosystem purity, bringing bamboo sounds like a good plan as it grows very quickly and provides some material that can be used very efficiently for a number...

God tier: Fanta Green Apple from a fountain distributor at the Ikebukuro station of the Seibu line in Tokyo, Japan, in the '90s. For something more available: fountain Sprite. For nostalgia: Sumol de laranja (basical the portuguese Orangina or Sinalco). That being said I have...

Is Rose injured yet?

The important info I gathered from that is that Dr. Simmons has a problem with her menstruations... More seriously, that was a good episode even if it required a good deal of suspension of disbelief.

Spoiler alert: The answer is no.

I find this Chance The Rapper guy very weak. For some mellow hip-hop with some actual good flow, a classic: And you also get some intello-comedico-experimental french hip hop from 2003, just because:

For the sake of precision, I would like to mention that Douvaine is in fact not in Switzerland (it's in France, close to Geneva though) and that, to my knowledge, it has no landing strip.

The big question with No Man's Sky is how you will feel exploring your 10th planet. Will it be "I wonder what new and surprising things I'll find there?" or will it be "I wonder what slightly different flavor of bland I'll get this time?"

If you use David's plot armor as an argument, it should also be noted that Vader, for all his force induced prescience, has an alarming tendency to have his schemes fail miserably.

1998: Hot shit.

It's not very clear what can kill the T-1000 other than dumping him into lava or some other kind of total destruction event. It's pretty clear what can kill Vader (even if he does not drink milk - or was it orange juice?).

So many good scenes in a 60 minutes episode! A bit of a shame the health inspector died because I enjoyed his character very much, but in exchange we get a promising murder mystery/corruption sub-plot.

On this subject, I recommend you check the romanian film The Second Game by Corneliu Porumboiu. It consists of the director chatting with his father Adrian over the footage of a 1988 Bucarest derby between the Dinamo and the Steaua for which the father was the referee. Check the trailer to...
