So started doing this... First image made me think "um is this thing about dissecting corpses???" At least when I found out what the kanji meant... Anyways I think I'll be able to do at least 5 images today. I'll work on the rest tomorrow. I think time-wise I could technically do more but I got other stuff to attend to off line and on line.

Also I'm just putting it together into one rtf with it labeled with the images in the order giving in the zip. It's simply a waste of space of create individual rtfs for each image.

That said back to it.

Sorry, yesterday I went to sleep and forgot to do the job...

I feel like there's a leech sucking on my YT account. Some "Big Think" channel added me to their Google + account circle thingy.... Blech.... Anyways, I was right. That Google + and YT mix combo thing did become mandatory for some people. I've seen random comments talking about how they had to press "ok" and connect with Google +. Blegh is what I have to say about this. Blegh, bleghity, bleghgeegee.

THIS SITUATION DOES NOT DESERVE THE DIGNITY OF REGULAR WORDS!!!!!!!!!!

I bid blegched to them.

But seriously folks, a duel English Japanese speaker would be handy to know for me too, as I'm thinking of a 'The Last Samurai' based project which would have a Kanji title sequence that would almost certainly be hilariously wrong if I relied on Google translate.

I stopped watching Mythbusters consistently when they deliberately threw out data during the swimming in syrup test. Then too much of the show became on-line content that it became annoying to keep up with it. So I might check this episode out or maybe not. Thanks for the notice either way.

Your post did make me scratch my head. :)

What say you on the specifics of agents and theme within certain sentences? Further elaborate your feelings on theta roles if you please. Do certain consonant clusters make you scratch your head?

Soylent isn't a mixture of OTC vitamin mixtures. It's a custom blend. Ars Technica did a series on it:

That was the beta version, v1.0 actually addresses the chalky and such. I think it's an interesting concept.

Also, studies have shown that men and women's brains are wired differently. They think differently and act in different ways.

This proposal of Star Wars being released later on not doing as well is paradoxical. Lets say hypothetically the release of Star Wars was delayed into the 90s, the movie exactly the same as it was in 1977 original release. Same audio mixes everything the same. The hypothetical culture of the 90s sans Star Wars would be different than the culture with Star Wars. Who knows maybe the hollywood landscape would've been much the same in the 90s had Star Wars not made it's initial impact in the 70s. Thus allowing for the same sort of influence only later. Afterall it was the success of Star Wars that made them think about bringing Star Trek back from cancellation(edit or more appropriately in movie form) in the first place. That's just one thing that wouldn't have happened had Star Wars not been released in the time it was.

I would argue it's impact would've been even bigger had it's release been delayed since it seems the execs, and theaters, were straying away from even allowing sci-fi properties a chance. Star Wars was block booked with The Other Side of Midnight to get into many theaters in the first place. Star Trek was cancelled. Maybe if it was delayed into the 90s there'd be so little sci-fi entertainment that Star Wars would've become, almost literally, the only show in town. That sort of impact would've been so much bigger than it's 70's impact. Being the literal only form of "new" sci-fi entertainment after only reruns of old Star Trek or Twilight Zone on the tv.

Course it could've gone another way and some other sci-fi movie could've made it big around the same time. Making a delayed 90s Star Wars release disappear in the haze of that 90s sci-fi market.

Won't you give it a try?

I loved both Caprica and Blood and Chrome.

Neither were perfect but NuGalactica wasn't either and both could have meshed into an interesting sidewise look at the universe if they were allowed to continue.

But they are not celebrity ghosts decorating their home while wrestling so SyFy lost interest.

Wasn't JJ's lensflare obsession pretty much limited to his Star Trek movies? I remember a line on the audio commentary about his idea being "the future is so bright you can't contain it." I don't remember there being much lensflare in M:I-3.
