Was searching for the term "Inglorious Basterds" (sans quotes) in Off Topic. First I tried Inglorious with no results. I then tried the whole title and got this error message.

Worst movie ever made? Hmmmmm....I can't believe it's this, though this really sucked cheese. Phantom Menace??
Won't catch me denying that quality films, in general, are a dying breed. However, I thought District 9 and Inglorious Basterds were highlights of this summer. I did think the violence in I.B. was a little over the top (and yes, I understand that was the point).
Not sure if anyone's posted this...I did a forum search and found zilch:
I agree with Jay. Nintendo is in deep when the big picture/long run are considered. They've alienated a shit load of third-party developers for too long...devs that won't necessarily come running back when Nintendo plays catch up with what will undoubtedly be another under-powered console under the auspices of "quality" over power. I've always felt that while graphics don't make the game, they do place certain limits on what can and can't be ported to a system, and Nintendo's going to reap what they've sown in this regards, sooner or later. What they did with the Wii was assure themselves another console in 2011. If they don't do something stunning that captures hardcore gamers, I don't see how they can survive.
What's amazing to me is how developers have abandoned PC gaming en mass in the last year or so. EA Sports has announced that it's not porting Madden any more, which really blows. And they blame it all on piracy. It really irks me because the current consoles and the last gen wouldn't have been shit if they didn't bastardize pc features like online play and anything even approaching pc graphics.
Is anyone else getting tired of seeing that shit on TV, the net, and in print? How many damn lists need to be compiled? A great way to use stock footage, but other than that...useless.
Black news, indeed.

Tell me, again, what the Second Amendment was for? Hmmmmmmm.......
To provide a balance of power between government and it's citizens.
I've stopped watching the show and deleted my DVR pass. It's way to "out there" now.
Voyager, the last two movies (Insurrection: The plastic surgery villains, Nemesis: Isn't it fortunate we just "happened" to find this exact duplicate of Data? eh number one? *nudge nudge* eh?), and the first 3 seasons of Enterprise all did enough damage, thank you.
The spin-offs in general were not in keeping with the original series. TNG can be summed up in: "These aliens are trying to kill us, but we're "evolved" so we'll try not to fight back TOO much. Let's sit around and talk for 30 minutes, have a blab session with the Counselor *yawn*, then come up with some BS techno-babble solution to our problem, hit the reset button and do the same thing next week". TNG was good from seasons 3 on, but still suffered from these problems. The first two seasons are some of the worst television I've ever seen.
DS9 made great strides in returning to what made the original great: conflict among the main characters (something sorely lacking in the others), the notion that 300 years is not enough time to create a perfect human went out the window, and the characters were actually DOING something instead of playing chess with Whoopi Goldberg. They were still much too reliant on techno-babble and the reset button (nobody grows, nobody dies FOR REAL). I almost choked when I learned they were bringing back Dax in a new host.
The last season of Enterprise was quite good, IMO. The mini-story arcs, written by people who actually understood the franchise and helmed by Manny Coto, were top-notch. I especially liked the one with Brent Spiner as a young Doctor Soong and the beginnings of the Eugenics Wars. Voyager was an abomination.
The existing canon should stop at the end of DS9. Voyager and Enterprise canon (except season 4) should be tossed out the window. Lord knows how this new movie's going to go down, though it's safe to say that in their attempt to reach a mass audience it will not be a hardcore fan pleasing film.

I didn't speak to the tree again. Yes, I solved the Earth temple first. Very frustrating.
All I can think is that you need to speak to him. I remember that when you do he gives you a message to go looking for Makar.Still nada. I spoke with the tree and asked the questions that were available. Makar's in the waterfall, I swing in, we talk, he plays, I conduct the Wind God's Aria (^,^,v,>,<,>) and he asks me to keep his practicing a secret. I'm ready to go back to the Wind Temple to make certain I've got the melody right, but I've consulted several walk-throughs and they all indicate the tune I'm playing.
Wait, you did go to the Wind Temple's entrance first, right? You have to play in front of that rock and talk to the ghost dude. You'll know if you did by going to your inventory screen. One of the colored notes should be the Wind God's aria if you got it. If you didn't, head to Gale Isle.
Hey. Problem solved. When I got home a few minutes ago I remembered that the first time I went to the island I did NOT talk to the Deku Tree, and on subsequent tries when I did I did NOT go into the Wind Temple to awaken the sage first. So this time I woke the sage, talked to the tree, THEN played for Makar. This worked.
Thanks for the help. It is appreciated. Love this game.

Wind Waker issue - in trying to get Makar to accompany me to the Wind Temple I'm having an incredibly hard time. I play the Wind God's aria for him, but all he does is tell me to keep his practicing a secret. I'm using the left trigger to target him and it's still happening. Thoughts?
You've tried the control song?
Howdy Tip.
Are you talking about the Command Melody? No, I haven't. It wasn't necessary when getting Medli to go to the Earth Temple, and the walkthrough's I've read give no indication. Is this something I should check?
Oh, I see. You haven't even gotten him to the temple yet. I misunderstood.
That's weird since it's the Wind God's aria that causes him to join you . . . Did you talk to the big tree guy before finding Makar? (I also assume you finished the Earth Temple which I think you need to do first.)

I've heard they rushed this because a script was in hand and they needed material coming out of the Writer's strike. In my opinion the chances of this going to series are slim, so I won't even bother unless people are dumbstruck after watching it.
First trailer...Wow.
So, thus far Nintendo's "big secret" for E3 has been Animal Crossing? I'm seriously considering getting a 360. Tired of getting boned on the best titles.
I'm not using an Airport base station. Just my 802.11g router.
Does anyone use their Mac/iMac's wireless connection instead of ethernet? My machine, which is just about 6 months old, is constantly dropping the wireless connection. I've updated the EMI Firmware, taken all available updates, moved it to new locations in my house (I get good signal strength pretty much wherever I go)...still dropping. I find that as long as I don't stop surfing it sticks a lot longer, but as soon as I stop for more than a couple of minutes it's gone. I've got to click on the wireless icon, where I see "Airport: Scanning" and turn it off, then back on. Quite annoying.
Thanks for any help.
