    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    At writing level, the error might have been to have it be opened accidentally. It's always difficult to make a believable accident, even more so in this context where you have something that is supposed to be as safe as possible, so, in theory, impervious to accidents that are not a long chain...

    Hot Tub Time Machine 2

    Maybe I was not in the right mood for it, but I enjoyed the first one a lot more. At the core, I think it is because reliving your youth has a lot more potential (in comedy, drama, nostagia, etc) than jumping 10 years ahead in the future.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I am pretty sure there is the possibility to see more Ginja on the the show as the lightening guy stopped May to perform a non-lethal attack ('we are not evil, just mislead').

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    0! Looking through the list though, you can see that many movies end up there because they are not totally obscure, not good AND hated for a reason or another. There is a couple Paris Hilton movies for instance, an Uwe Boll, several lame spoofs, a con job (Age of Tomorrow that was released at...

    For me, Van Damme dance scene = Breakin' spotting him was a pretty big WTF movie watching moment.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The whole "ruins in the jungle / let's recite verses of an epic about the fall of this empire / here be dragon" block was really neat. It's also pretty nice of them to not have ended the episode with Tyrion under water. Lastly, the credit music was particularly badass.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Most of the people in the village just have the potential to gain powers, but have yet to go through the mist or whatever. At least that's how I understood it. How many people are in the village is pretty unclear though. I don't remember seeing any general shot that shows the whole thing.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Considering the last time we saw Bran was the most retarded thing ever happening in the show, I am not in a hurry to see him again.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I can see how one can not get Hohokum as the organisation, the goals and how to reach them are confusing, but The Unfinished Swan is a pretty clear and extremely elegant game.

    The Astronomy Thread

    On a side note, I would think that reaching 80% of the speed of light is just the easy part. The hard part is not getting atomized when the spaceship hits a speck of dust.

    Question: I have yet to see Ultron. When is it supposed to take place? Between 19 and 20? Between 20 and 21/22? After 21/22?

    Do you remember that game called EverQuest? Do you remember it having a separate slot for sleeves? Now you know why (as, apparently, you did not know before).

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    These episodes can only be frustrating, because there are just too many story-lines. In that 2nd episode I counted 8 and we are lucky because 2 of those 8 are merged stories (Sansa/Littlefinger met Brienne/Podrick, Stanis and crew is at the Wall). That's less than 7 minutes per story. Let's hope...

    Cheated out of my youth

    My Google-Fu failed to find a sentence for Melissa McBee and the rare news reports of her arrest do not mention anything that warants such a long jail time (which is about what a woman who filmed and distributed her multiple sexual abuses of her sub 9 year old son got...).

    When Is Cheryl's Birthday?

    I think what confuses people (and confused me for the last step), is that you are not trying to be in Albert's or Bernard's shoes, trying to solve Cheryl's riddle, you are an outside observer trying to find the only date for which this specific conversation between Albert and Bernard is...

    When Is Cheryl's Birthday?

    Iannis: I think you need to reread The Ancient's solution carefully and realize that through clever use of post-measure grouping the outlier is identified even if we don't know at first whether he is lighter or heavier. WAIT... wait... 3a) is messed up I think. Let me reread it carefully...

    When Is Cheryl's Birthday?

    Your solution does not work, because you do not know if the one guy is lighter or heavier, so you don't know in what set of 3 he is.

    The Astronomy Thread

    If they really want to have their rocket work that way, maybe they should have a landing pad that "catches" the rocket as it comes. No clue if the chassis of a rocket would allow that though.

    Cheated out of my youth

    Can you get charged for stuff like weed and underage drinking without being caught in the act? I find that strange. Not the strangest part of this story, but strange nonetheless!

    The Astronomy Thread

    Wat? Are they trying to land a rocket vertically? That sounds extraordinarily stupid, especially if the propelling is done under the center of gravity.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I can see the moral argument for preserving endangered species (even if it leaves me lukewarm), and I can see the value of biodiversity for science and health/food security, but... why should we care about a large herbivore mammal?

    The swiss public television is airing the episodes on monday night with subtitles.My assumtions: 1) it's nigh impossible to do professional subtitling of a TV episode in 16 hours 2) a number of channels across the world must have a similar deal 3) That must be a lot of people with access to...

    Twin Peaks

    From a money and (not so) recent history perspective, it's pretty difficult, as the accountant at a TV channel, to sign a blank check to David Lynch. He does not exactly scream "bankable" and since Mulholland Drive in 2001, he did a lot of odd stuff for his web site, a 3h long movie that was a...

    BOSTON marathon bombing verdict

    Not all prison systems are plagued by overpopulation and violence as not all societies made an industry of jailing people (an industry that is growing thanks to intense lobbying for harsher sentencing). Anyway, a prison system can always get better, while, no matter how you sugarcoat it, an...
