That poster though is for a 1900 show that predates the existence of a proper movie industry. By the way, it should also be noted that The Jazz Singer (the 1927 movie with Al Jolson) and Tropic Thunder get a pass because the blackface is a core element of their respective scenarios: In them...

I am surprised to see so many mentions of Carnivale. I watched the whole thing but it did not even go nowhere fast, it went nowhere slowly. The cast is also not very exciting other than Clancy 'The Kurgan' Brown turning it up to 11.

I guess my question is... why? I am trying to care one way or the other and I just can't.

I am not exposed to the american news media, so this might explains that, but, reading this thread, I have a hard time understanding what could elicit such high degree of rejection. Is Dunham omnipresent in the media and giving her opinion on anything and everything? Because from my point of...

Yeah... no. It has its roots in 19th century comedy shows that played on racial stereotypes:Minstrel show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surprisingly no mention of the 'typo' in the rebuttal. Surprisingly...

I am not super happy with the 'I know there is a drone yet I still showed up', the 'we somehow lost track of who is in which car' and the 'drunkard super spy' plot elements, but these (and many other details) are not enough to dull my enjoyment.

I enjoyed the cast and the cinematography (notably the shots of the search party that reminded me of Egoyan's Exotica), but it is both extremely boring and totally unbelievable. My score: meh.

Strange idea to title your game exactly like another game: a recent well received one to boot:Ziggurat (video game)

More like changing the narrative from story to non-story. What a convenient 'typo.'

Never played Frozen Synapse but it's supposed to be very very good.

8 ... is there a hammer in Powder? EDIT: Thor sounds right. 16 Forest Gump? 20 Lost in Translation? 28 Final Destination?

The movie is a lot better and more clever than expected, but it's far from great. It somehow manages to make Johnson ridiculous thanks to a lame costume and a dumb haircut, there are too many people in his crew to make them more than cardboard cutouts and the production value is underwhelming.

So when do the playoffs start?

In somewhat chronological order (shows not yet mentioned in bold): Treme Generation Kill The Wire Curb Your Enthusiasm West Wing Homicide The O.C. E.R. (I only saw the first few seasons) The Kingdom(danish comedy/horror show by Lars von Trier) Twin Peaks Honorable mentions (still...

A great week-end of tennis: Federer survived a nail-biter against Karlovic, Murray beat Ferrer for a second time in a third meeting during this race to London which lead to two totally brilliant and totally different finals. In Basel Federer gave a masterclass in attacking tennis, discarding a...

Just readGlasshouseby Charles Stross. It's a post-humanity SF book (minds can be stored, downloaded, duplicated, altered, bodies can be fabricated to any specification, several minds can be in a body, several bodies can be governed by the same mind, different instances of a same mind can run...

My guess would be that the 5'11" official height for Palicki is at least a couple inches shorter than reality. It's just that being taller than 6' is a bit of a problem for women (in general and actresses in particular - Sigourney Weaver is listed on imdb as 5'11" too). Henry Simmons who plays...

Nadal who played in Shangai with an appendicitis kept under control with antibiotics actually went on to play in Basel (Soriak's home town!). He won two rounds with ease but then announced he would not play in Paris and after that lost to 17 year old wild card Coric! Nadal almost got bageled in...

With levitating shoes, you cannot propel yourself nor alter your direction with the sole of your feet. At least not in the way you can do it with skates. It's more like trying to move around on ice wearing twosliding curling shoes.

Spies using seduction and sex is probably as old as spying itself. I really like the season so far. The first season was frantic and great. The second season frantic and retarded. I think they did well with the 3rd and this 4th season to use a more deliberate pace and to make sure the plot is a...

I found this last episode slightly shark-jumpy with Thackery managing to botch a coagulation test and the head of the opium den going The Raid on the mobsters, but all in all it was a great season in just about every department. Looking forward to the 2nd.

That looks dramatically less interesting than a good old skateboard.

It's self published, so it was never meant to have a physical version in brick and mortar stores and they will not rate it because it's not mandatory in any way. When the game is done there will be another round of news about how steam/desura/gog/etc don't want to sell it and how it's only...

Going to the movies solo can lead to strange situations. I went to see 22 Jump Street during the day and we ended up being 2 guys in the 600 seats theater, so suddenly you watch the movie hearing what the other guy finds funny and you don't andvice versa.

In the realm of non-competitive superhuman physical activities, rock climbing and dancing are pretty insane and Tatum is a trained dancer I believe.

Things are heating up for the Masters' Cup: Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, Wawrinka and Cilic (by virtue of winning the US Open and the other three slam champions being assured to be in the top 7) are in. Nishikori should be ok, but then it's a fierce race between Berdych, Murray, Ferrer, Raonic and...

There is something amusing in doing the game that video games are accused of being by those that do not know the medium, but it all sound very 1st degree (and I don't mean 1st degree murder).

We both know it's made by Bungie and that Bungie made Halo, but I wonder what percentage of people who bought the game also know that. I suspect 'online FPS' being more in tune with the taste of the Xbox brand consumers has a bigger impact than the 'Bungie fan club' factor.

The only way this could have happened is if the chinese launch of Xbox One (a territory not covered by the PS4) had been a giganormous success. Since they did not even sold 100k units there, it is totally impossible. Sony not mentioning world wide numbers is just because at some point you have...

Destiny on Xbox One outselling the PS4 version is a bit of a surprise when you consider all the advertisement was tied to Sony.

I thought boxing was considered the most strenuous sport?

There is a a soft emulation of sorts with a pointer you can move on screen with the analog stick I believe? I remember seeing something like that when they first revealed the gizmo several months back, so it might not be in the final product.

The home console versions of Child of Light probably have their assets stored at an optimal resolution for 720p while the Vita version have them for 544p. Upscaling 544p to 720p means it will have jaggies or be blurry (or both!). They should upscale to 1088p and crop 8 lines or cheat with the...

About the Vita games on TV: are there different scaling options? Like playing with no scaling even if not in full screen?

lol?

I really liked these first three episodes. Not everything was stellar, but it set the scene well. On complain though: can one really jog to free jazz? More seriously, I have been asking for more jazz for 3 seasons now. Her trumpet should be Holmes' violin and instead we have not seen her play...

Simon started well against a somewhat nervous Federer and then the frenchman managed to lull the swiss with his strange brand of consistent off-pace tennis. Mid way through the set, Federer started to produce a little more game, notably slicing his backhand a lot more to try and upset the rhythm...
