    So the first two were the scenes too crappy for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? How did the poor editor choose? I wonder if he ever contemplated taking his old job back, editing the boring scenes out of fishing shows.

    Why does Ten Forward look so small in that Nemesis clip? I realize that the Enterprise E was smaller in terms of crew compliment than D, but that looked no bigger than the retrofitted galley on Voyager.

    @EdificeComplex:
    It looked the same size because it was the same set, and it wasn't Ten Forward, it was just an officer's lounge. Ten Forward was the size it was because it served three times as many people, on a much larger ship.

    Leia and Solo making out was pretty much the only actual sexual expression out of the entire Star Wars Saga (the green slave girl's boob and Leia slave girl outfit doesn't count.) Might have done Lucas a world of good if he added some sex to Star Wars. No wonder they needed clones.

    As for Sgt William Candy, I'm glad they cut it. That was pretty stupid especially when Candy sounds like what one would consider the stereotype of a Southern fried idiot.

    Some of those are awesome!!! The Terminator one ive seen before. What a crazy ass clip.

    Now I know I might turn a few people here....but Watchmen was amazing. I personally cant wait for the super-duper extended edition. This scene was left out and I think its absolutly beautiful and tragic all in the same go!!!

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): A lot of "official" postings on YouTube block embedding now because the embedded players code can be exploited to download copies of the video. Disabling embedding also prevents websites like KeepVid from snagging downloadable links.

    @CyberSlug Labs: Why have the link there in the first place then??? Its a borrowed code. Nothing more. Rather than blocking safe users who just want to add the link to a safe legit website. Why cant they just find a better way of stopping the downloads!!

    Another thing that pissed me off was something so trivial that its worth overlooking once. But hundreds!! Thats just not cricket. I tried to watch an Iron Maiden vid on youtube and it said 'sorry not available in your country'. Im sorry WHAT!! Iron Maiden is british fuckin metal band. I can understand an american vid not playing over here. It happens a lot with ther MTV player and that I can live with. But blocking UK users from watching UK stuff!! Eh!!!????

    I checked out the Devastator story at Sams Club yesterday, I found it to be cheap and hokey, as well as ridiculously overpriced. Bought my nephew this badass Nerf Gattling gun instead.

    What's with this grab bag approach with the Adult Swim figures? Can't I just buy the Monarch and Dr. Mrs. Monarch ones?

    This is how I ended up with, like, a dozen flamingo teenie beanie babies; I was trying to get the cat one.

    Maybe I'll just go look for left over Cylons. They make good tree ornaments.

    Looking at that Devastator reminds me that I saw an ad for Transformers Toys the other day and at the end the V.O. guy quickly said "Actual changing times may vary."

    So sad. In my day you either understood they were only that fast in the cartoons and commercials or you broke your toys trying. You would never whine about it though.

    For those of us who like to see the Spirit of Christmas sodomized be sure to check out A Very Sunny Christmas, which is the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Christmas special that was meant to air last year but was deemed too demented to air and had to be sold as a dvd. And before people freak, yes I enjoy the classical aspects of Christmas but I also enjoy mocking it.

    I'm sick of Orci and Kurzman. They seem to be dead stuck on making pastiche of great science fiction works, some right, some really really cheesy. And frankly, I didn't even like the Star Trek reboot, and if they're saying that they are going rip more ideas off of classics, then I don't think Star Trek 2.0 - 2 is going to make me happier.

    Granted, dramatic pieces of work are often a repeat in some form or another, but ugh. Star Trek 2.0 - 1 was so frustrating.

    @Pessimippopotamus: Amen. I liked Star Trek but it's an incomprehensible mess entirely because the script is overly written and ill-considered from top to bottom. It's saved by mood, tone, and a few revelatory ideas (a new timeline, destroying Vulcan, Spock/Uhura, new Kirk with a chip on his shoulder), but when you watch the deleted scenes, you realize that they wrote a 3 hour movie and never edited before they shot the thing.
