They should get Adam West to play Alfred.

"Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back"
A very exciting film, and a pretty good sequel. The mystic green puppet was a little hard to get into at first, but the dialog helped as the film went on. Nice character development, and what a bombshell of a revelation from the dude in the helmet. The golden robot guy was a bit over the top in his flamboyant rantings. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
"Star Wars"
An enjoyable little film. Not much can be said about it other then good characters, well done special effects for the time it was original made, and a fine tribute to the action serials of the 1930's.

Skyfall really left me baffled with its Aston Martin. Bond seems to "remember" it and we are meant to think that he's driven it but he can't be the same guy who drove it in the 60s. Or should we just think that it was Bond's first time to drive some 50-year-old car and it happens to be exactly like the one in the other Bond universe? I think Craig's Bond films as a different timeline than the older ones as it was the first reboot, but this just doesn't make sense. It probably shouldn't either, but still.
Craig's Bond got the Aston Martin on his first mission as a double zero in the film "Casino Royale". I would say that is why he remembers it fondly. Skyfall is presented as taking place years after "CR" and "QoS", so I felt that Bond had equipped it with gadgets and must have used it several times on missions between "QoS" and Skyfall.

Where did they get all that plastic from?
This thread made me think of this.
Well, some of us knew it was a lot worse then they have been reporting, but now the cat is out of the bag.

‘Crisis’ at Fukushima plant — Tepco: Extremely radioactive water leaking directly into groundwater and going into ocean!
Fukushima trench water crisis returns
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Saturday that the trench problem at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant has cropped up again and is sending highly radioactive water into the sea. [...]
[The water] contains 2.35 billion becquerels of cesium per liter [...]
The trench is believed to be the source of the groundwater problem that’s been baffling Tepco’s experts for months. Their current theory is that the highly radioactive water found and left in the trench in 2011 is now leaking directly into the groundwater, which is seeping into the sea. [...]
The utility hopes to halt the problem by building a wall out of liquid glass between the reactors and the sea and removing the contaminated water from the underground passage.
WSJ: Extreme contamination found at Fukushima plant — Cesium over 2 billion Bq/liter; Millions of times above limit — Tepco ‘trying’ to stop it leaking into ocean — ‘Probably’ from melted reactor core.
Extremely high concentrations of radiation have been detected in water from near one of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, [Tepco] said Saturday. [...]
The radiation is millions of times higher than Japan’s acceptable limit under normal circumstances.
Radiation of 750 million becquerels a liter of cesium-134 and 1.6 billion becquerels a liter of cesium-137 was recorded, Tepco said. [...] In April 2011 a combined 1.8 billion becquerels was recorded. [...]
The sample came from a trench near the No. 2 reactor turbine building, the utility said. [...]
Tepco is searching for the water source. It is probably from one of the damaged reactor cores. It is trying to stop the water leaking into the sea, it said. [...]

What a drag! I just ordered the complete "Crime Story" series DVD set.
He was such a great actor.
