The issue with getting X-Men, Spider-man, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, etc back is that I cannot tell you how many complaints I see about "Why doesn't Avenger call other Avenger to help?". If there were EVEN MORE heroes in the area, the excuses as to why they couldn't help gets even more thin. Especially if you get into X-Men territory. They wouldn't even need to call people on the phone, they could just think really hard and Xavier would hear it and send Wolverine to stab people.

I sometimes say it loud when Moth3r refuses to turn the cooling units back on.

I believe the last time I watched "The First Avenger" I compared it to Star Wars: simple movie, good vs evil, good wins. I loved it. "Winter Soldier" is like Empire, but not just for Cap, for the whole franchise. I love how its tied into MAoS and can't wait to see what happens next.

Bingo, I think you mentioned something about the Fantastic Four reboot. Unfortunately they're rebooting it to take place in the existing X-Men Cinematic Universe (X-Verse?). So we'll still have at least 3 movie continuities, Spider-Verse, X-Verse, and MCU, with versions of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch somehow being in both the X-Verse and MCU. That won't confuse the average viewers like my dad AT ALL.

I don't want to say too much just yet, as this is not 100% finalized, but there is a good chance that TRM will be screened at a theater in Denver on May 4th. And if it is, I believe I will be able to attend.

Stay tuned...

How about you replace Porkins' dialogue with dialogue spoken by Lt. Eckhardt from Batman '89? You could also dub in the Joker's line "Eckhardt, think about the future!" coming in over Porkins' radio right before he gets shot down.

Thanks df.

eldiablo how are you dealing with the 2.35:1 to 16:9 transition that doubleofive has mentioned (and any others if they exist)?

We found the last capture of OD to be lacking in quality. Maybe you can capture it better?

He seems to question the logic of having a desktop mode.   You agree with that?

Oops, I definitely don't agree then.  I insist on desktop mode.

Microsoft is trying to make things more efficient, but it's harder for us ingrained into the old way of doing things. Look at the Office Ribbon. For those who knew how to do things the long way, it took them years to get used to it. If you're new to office or all of the things Excel in particular can do, the Ribbon makes everything more efficient. If driving a Ford with a joystick saved 20 MPG, you might be willing to relearn.

Do we really need to have a Start menu, or even a file system, when you can search for whatever you want? I don't even use the Start Menu on Win7 or OSX, I search for everything. It's about making your workflow more smooth.

But, alas, every time MS tries to push something forward, they have to drag it back. 8.1 is getting a traditional Start Menu. I expect they'll start shipping Xbox One's without Kinects before too long.

Damn you alien whale probe!

I just finished "These Are The Voyages: TOS Season 1", the closest thing Trek fans will get to Rinzler's Making Of's. The author (who I've talked to a few times) got access to every draft of every script, every note, every memo, everything that they saved, which they saved everything just for a book like this to be made. Roddenberry actually asked Cushman to write the book years ago, he was just now able to get it done. Cushman also got the Nielson ratings for every episode, proving without a doubt that TOS was popular and was the highest rated NBC show on Thursday nights, but it cost more money than they wanted and Roddenberry wasn't the easiest guy to get along with. I'm really looking forward to starting the second book covering Season 2.

Unlikely. I'll be surprised if they don't just clean up a frame from the Blu-ray and greenscreen poor Bob into it.

They also gave him TPM to learn about Yoda and Dagobah. Not the highest hopes here.

Big Bang Theory is doing a May The Fourth Be With You episode with collaboration from LFL:

Perhaps the most appalling thing is that the writers of the show gave Bob Newhart Phantom Menace so he could study up on Yoda and Dagobah. It's obvious Bob doesn't care much for Star Wars, so I imagine he only knows the titles from what he's seen. Either Bob Newhart is very confused on titles, or the BBT writers are as bad as we imagined.

Back on topic. I am bitching about people who do not seem to understand that you YIELD to an emergency vehicle. Due to some jackwagon last night, who said he thought I would slow down, that drove right front of me as I was coming through an intersection running full lights and siren to assist an Officer who had one at gunpoint who was suspected of being armed.

Now I'm sore, hurting, had to lay off work tonight, I've become a burden to my family; mostly due to childcare issues. And in the end I will be blamed for not seeing this jake-leg who expected me to yield to him and that my in-car mobile video malfunctioned and did not catch the wreck. On top of all of it, I totaled my Black & White Dodge Charger, which my PD is no longer buying dammit. And now for a huge investigation and a seat in front of a crash review board. Ugh!

Why did I choose this profession. Dad always told me to be a fireman.

No Escape AKA Escape from Absalom (1994)

Stuart Wilson is an ambiguously gay Klingon in this movie. I dare anyone to prove otherwise.

7/10

It is.  I just spotted it and immediately ran over here and posted without looking.  My bad. 

I love how OBIWAN seems to think having miniature sets isn't something to be wary of.

What will Mrs. O'Five think now that her quilt shop is filled with the glorious sounds of Random Access Fhqwhgads?

In a couple weeks I will be embarking upon the odyssey that is STAR TREK: THE VIDEO GAME. It's dangerous to go alone so I'll be co-oping it. Wish us luck!

The Room (2003)

What a horribly, horribly beautiful movie. It needs a sequel, a prequel, a sidequel, and an interquel -- all written and directed by Wiseau -- post-haste.

5.5/10

This movie deserves either a zero or a ten.  Nothing else is fair.

So in scifi, your heritage has nothing to do with anything, it's all in your genes.

Except if you clone Picard and put him to work in a Reman mine, he'll go evil with no reservations.
