Wait, you consider this LESS probable than a Star Trek/X men crossover?

Seriously?

That 2 minutes was better than the entire 98' movie!
Well, I only played the game as femshep. In one she got with Liara, and in two, well I tried with Jack. I have no problem with the addition of the gay choice. Im never going to take it when ME3 comes out, but Im all for giving the player more options in this kind of game.
Now multiplayer, that I dont give a hoot about.
There are no words, other that I hope it makes the big screen where I live.
I would have felt sorry for this girl right up to the point that she killed a 9 year old. Pity all gone now. Locking her away for 35 years minimum is whats best for everyone else. She has demonstrated that she cannot function in civilized society without being a risk to the defenseless. Im not intrested in leaving it up to psychiatrists, who often get it horribly wrong, to decide if shes "all right". Is it worth it, giving her a chance, if she does something like that again? The right of another child to not be murdered is greater than Bustamantes right to fairness.
I consider myself a pretty fair minded guy. Im against the war on drugs, and for profit incarceration is an abomination. But my views on how to handle victemless crimes, and how someone who rapes or murders should be handled are two very different catagories. I think if you brutally fuck with your fellow humans, you should loose your right to civilization. Not because of retribution, but because neither you, nor I, nor anybody else should be put at risk by having that person as a neighbor.
Safe to assume that at some point we're going to find out the name of this actress. Please people spare her the internet hate machine. The ad was horrible, and Im all for it haunting Hoekstra to a defeat in November. By all means let it be what the guy is remembered for.
But as for this girl, if she didnt say the lines, someone else would have. It's shitty out there right now, and a paycheck is a paycheck.
Mind you, I say this assuming her response will be that it was just a paying gig. I somehow dont see her saying she was proud of it.
Im assuming she did the ad for the very simple motivation that theres a month of bills covered.
At this point Im not going to bother to say what I think we should get fron a new Trek show, cause I know thats not gonna happen. The two Bryans are guys who might be able to pull this off, so I will cultivate a feeling of guarded optimism.
Of course this may never even happen.
People arent offended by this commercial because it mentions our economic relationship with China. People are offended by this commercial because it uses a shockingly bad racial stereotype. One can both agree we shouldnt be borrowing so much from China, and find this commercial stupid at the same time.
Well this is the sort of thing that will vary greatly from person to person. I have a friend who in seven years I have seen drink once. Whenever Im over at his house facebook is up on his computer, and a lull in conversation is a chance to post something. Plus he's always texting.
Me, I have never has a solitary urge to use twitter. At all. But it's 7:15 AM as I type this, and I want a drink right now.
Amazing how one asshole can ruin it for everyone else.
Oh for fucks sake.

Im not normally a staunch anti-sequel person out of the gate. But if ever there was a sci-fi film that stands on it's own as a work of art, it's Blade Runner. Barely acknowledged when it first came out, it's influence nonetheless crept and grew. Today it has been arguably as influental as Star Wars. So many other works have borrowed from Blade Runner, but nothing else is quite like it.
I will give a sequel/prequel a chance if I think theres room for another story there. But having been so influential, I feel like the styles and themes of Blade Runner have already been revisited, sometimes lovingly, sometimes ham-fisted. The story of Decker hunting the replicants is complete. A little while back io9 did a most inglorious death scenes in Science Fiction list. Well at the opposide end of things Roy Batty had one of, if not the best death scene in all of science fiction cinema. Not going to top it.
And besides, it's supposed to take place seven years from now. At this point to return to a world so obviously improbable runs the risk of having the same effect of seeing the lights come up in the nightclub at the end of the night. Everything that cannot be is exposed, the mood is killed, and we forget about the spectacle and the magic.

I do not want this.

I dont mind a remake if there is genuine room for improvement. Judge Dredd for example. But all of these upcoming remakes mentioned above were already pretty decent movies for what they were. The lack of vision here is really depressing.
And of course the remake Im really looking forward to is the one I havent heard anything about lately, The Black Hole. Done right a remake of that could be a true super creppy space horror.
Suddenly, somehow, Predator 2 is a better movie in my mind because of this.
I felt like that monologue was one of the best parts of season 4. Granted the competition wasent that stiff.
The favorite of all Predators too lazy to get off their home planet.
Good thing all TV is digitally scrambled these days. Otherwise when they started getting transmissions of Real Housewives they would begin a genocidial war against us on general principal.
Dont think so. When it takes it's mask off in the first movie we get another shot from it's POV, showing how it saw the world now. Arnold was still glowing, but differently, everything in the background was red now, and he didnt stand out like he did with the helmet on. Seemed like infrared to me. So in our enviroment, under our sun, they dont see naturally very well at all. It would go to figure that the star they evolved under has a different spectrum of light. Espically if they were responsible for inventing their own technology. Otherwise what aggressive, tecnologically advanced species would get anywhere with such crappy eyesight?
Their masks default function filtered out the background temperature while highlighting the thermal signature of living creatures. Being that they see infrared, it makes sense that they would consider enhanced thermal tracking the standard setting. Yeah in later movies we see it do ultravilot, and even an Alien tracking setting. But it's an advanced piece of optic that will do what a writer needs it to do.
So it's more accurate to say the mask is the only reason they see anything other than infrared. Anal nerd correction done.
Im not inherently bothered by guns either. I've spent time at pistol range just recently, and quite enjoyed myself. True there are plenty of guys out there that just shouldnt be trusted with a gun. But unfortunately we live in the sort of world that I can understand why a woman would want one for protection. Anyone remember the just widowed young mom that shot a home intruder about a month ago?

A pink gun however, I find that kind of tacky.

Yes. I feel that those who equate money=free speech really do feel entitled to more free speech than the rest of us.
Dear god I love 90's whacked out southwest roadtrip movies.
