It’s only normal to express concerns about how a new technology might be abused. Trumpy doesn’t strike me as being very tech savvy though. As long as the alert system isn’t an app on his smartphone, we’re likely safe. 😉
this scene from Conan The Destroyer …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LQTS73rOP8 and pretty much any scene in that film with the character of Malak the thief , especially the Camel scene where he asks Conan if he remembers the camel . WTF , he wasn’t even there , that was Subotai the archer that was with him .
If I remember my old Starlog articles correctly, Subotai was in early script drafts. It’s possible they simply never rewrote that dialog?
synch it to a Bad Company album and it would be rock and roll fantasy ! I got my blu ray copy btw , not crazy about the choice of artwork . got mine at best buy .I like the steelbook art though , just do not want to pony up for the case . 4k does not matter to me , I am fine with 1080p and even dvd on a proper display .
Lay in some tracks from the Heavy Metal movie, now there’s a fanedit idea!
If that person was Trump’s predecessor, the usual suspects would be saying it’s nefarious for the usual reasons.
Star Wars spaghetti western style? I’m in!
I’m more annoyed actually. 😛
In any case, the technology exists now. Hope it’s safe from hackers.
Amber alerts have been around longer than cell phone alerts. They turn up on freeway traffic condition signs out here anyway.
And wow, something implemented under Obama that Trump isn’t wishing into the cornfield!
And seriously? Presidential Alert? The ego of this guy…
Former President Barack Obama signed a law in 2016 requiring FEMA to create a system that lets US presidents send cellphone alerts regarding public safety issues like natural disasters and “terrorism.”

The test, originally planned for last month but delayed by Hurricane Florence, was the culmination of many years of work. The federal government developed a system to issue the alerts, which are scripted in coordination with numerous government agencies. They are limited to 90 characters, but will be expanded to 360 in the future.
Trump didn’t personally send a message to your phone.
Not yet. 😉
And I get that it was named before Trumpy took office. Remains to be seen if people will more willingly flee a hurricane because they get a text versus all the warnings given on tv.
I wasn’t expecting the old EBS tone. Not the childhood flashback I wanted. The newer EBS tests sound like an old data modem.
Let’s hope we don’t get any false alarms.
We should start a betting pool as to when it’s hacked and whether the message will be about The Purge. 😉
And seriously? Presidential Alert? The ego of this guy…
And Trumpy now has the power to text your phone whether you want it or not. That’s going to come in real handy when WWIII starts. Sleep tight! 😉
What’s the big deal about him anyway? Based solely on what I saw on SNL the other night, he seems mediocre as a rapper. I’ve seen better stuff from Vanilla Ice. 😛
Another previously unknown mix? Wow!
Why does the Platinum age start in 1897? What occurred that year? I’ve never heard of a Platinum or Atom age of comic books before.

The rules say you have to own the source material. Sorry you lost your Blu_Ray.
The Laserdisc might be a better source for the full screen version and audio.
Found these on a Facebook group devoted to the late RCA CED Videodisc format.
I totally did a double take when I saw the CED caddy.
Yes, but what has Disney/Lucasfilm done for years but duck the question if they bother to acknowledge the issue at all? The OOT is abandonware as far as I’m concerned. Buying the official discs used doesn’t put any money in their pockets.
I tried.
If you say so.
Nevermind.
If you like the OOT, you should get the OOT in HD. Disney is not going to release it, so your only choice is from fan preservations or edits—which you can only get if you have the best source they use. It’s your choice to not do that, but your only other option is VHS, laserdisc, or the 2006 SE DVD bonus discs (the GOUT), which are sourced from the laserdisc transfer (hence the mention earlier).
And that’s it. You can bitch about not having the Star Wars you want; or you can get the Star Wars you want by using the means available to you, learn to be content with it, and thus stop bitching. We’re lucky the HD preservations of the OOT exist at all. Being on a high horse about not paying for SEs doesn’t help you obtain versions that are not the SEs. Versions that are available now, today.
…you could also just not like Star Wars, not watch Star Wars, and not care. Then you don’t have to bother with what people do or don’t say about why people do or don’t like it.
It used to be no one here thought my attitude about not given any money to an se release was “being on a high horse”
You ever consider doing what I did? Buy them used on Ebay.
He wore a Trumpy hat on SNL, in spite of being told not to do so, and goes off on a rant at the end of the show. At least he didn’t tear up a photo of the Pope! 😉
I don’t keep up with the Kardashians. Zing!
I thought his SNL performance the other night was a deliberate skit. It wasn’t.
The video projection walls around them are pretty cool though. Is that something SNL has had for a while, or was it just for his performance?
I was wondering why they cut away during the closing credits.

i’ve seen both Nosferatu and birth of a nation once, for nosferatu, all I can say is dullsville, with birth of a nation, well the battle scenes were done well for the time, as for the rest of the movie, pretty ridiculous and impossible to believe.
Haven’t seen those in closed groups, at least not yet. Twitter is infested with them now.
Facebook mostly sucks. You think it’s bad when we have forum hiccups, try entire threads vanishing into the ether and no way to get them back. The mod of one group I hang out in has to manually archive threads deemed important after one with a lot of great info went boom. I frequently have replies that have gone up in a puff a smoke when I return to a thread as well.
And twitter could never foster the kind of communities we have here and at FE. Twitter is such a dumpster fire at times, I hope I eventually see it’s demise. But whatever supersedes it might actually be worse.
