I definitely don't agree that Flash Gordon is a contender for worst anything ever. It was campy fun. I was laughing in the places the film maker wanted me to laugh, not laughing at how terrible it was. The special effects were not much better or worse than most other movies of its time (Star Wars being a huge exception).

You can't possibly think that Flash Gordon is a worse movie than Batman & Robin. Ugh.

P.S. Surprisingly, Roger Corman produced an extremely low-budget superhero movie and it actually is not bad: Black Scorpion

Fun fact; In the entire history of modern skyscrapers there have only been three situations where a building has collapsed into it's own foot print as a result of a fire. Can you guess when and what buildings?

The record companies also shook down the producers of the 2008 film, The Wrecking Crew, a documentary about a very few, unknown, session musicians who played on innumerable hit records from the 1950s and 1960s. The release of the film was delayed for over two years -- until the companies were paid, in essence, for the use of the artists' own performances.

Oh don't be rediculous. How can anyone think that just giving people free money is going to solve anything in the long run? How about this: How about we educate people and train them for new jobs in this changing world, instead of encouraging them to sit around and do nothing? Or are we really reaching the point where human lives are so cheap that nobody cares if they're wasted? We Humans are supposedly at the very top of the food chain, allegedly these magnificently evolved creatures with self-aware, creative, thinking, tool-building-and-using brains, yet we're going to just let entire populations sit idle? Go watch a movie called Idiocracy and see if you still think this 'UBI' is such a great idea.

Part of that is that Netflix doesn't show you its whole catalog.

While I actually have browsed the entire catalog in the genres that I'm interested in, I have occasionally found interesting things in other categories that (IMO) were mislabeled. As an example, the Swedish Science Fiction series Real Humans was labeled as a Scandinavian TV series, but not as a Science Fiction series. But, yeah, I tend to agree that the whole exploration part of Netflix is horrible.

I have also heard some claims that Netflix only display those titles where they have local subtitles or audio. I'm not sure if that is correct, but I haven't found any titles in my local Netflix without local subtitles, nor have I found any way to disable that filter if it exists.

Welcome to Paradox had an excellent episode about removing memories: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt07...

Personally, I don't think it's a good thing because so much of who we are is founded in our memories: good and bad. For many people with a dissociative disorder has this happen anyway. eg: Now, how did I get here.

Bzzzzzzt---wrong film. And therefore not even remotely funny.

You should be paging Dr Edgemar.

Except no? "Paging Dr. Tyrell" is spot on, unless of course you don't understand the reference.

Those quacks?!!! When I have memories that need removal, I page Dr. Mierzwiak!

Bzzzzzzt---wrong film. And therefore not even remotely funny.

You should be paging Dr Edgemar.

There are plenty of abusing technology that allows you to alter peoples memory.
The summary just screams Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

1. An accused criminal gets the key witnesses in the case wiped before the trial.

2. Cops "forcefully interrogate" a suspect, and when the suspect turns out to be innocent, wipe the victim's memories of their treatment.

Well, the current situation is:

1. Cops "forcefully interrogate" a suspect.

2. Cops shoot the suspect when it "became violent".

A memory wipe is fairly benign compared to getting killed.

It was an originally a science fiction story called The Twonky, later made into a movie of the same name.

I tried watching that movie last week and gave up on it half way through. And its not often that I give up on watching bad TV

It was an originally a science fiction story called The Twonky, later made into a movie of the same name.

Well speaking of Mickey Mouse...

Forget Mickey Mouse.

The expiration of the copyright on Steamboat Willie gives you the right to produce derivatives based on Steamboat Willie and only Steamboat Willie. Eight minutes of silent-era sight gags with a synchronized sound track and a thin narrative thread. Walt Disney Animation Studios' Steamboat Willie

The character designs --- which is what the geek really wants --- are trademarked, and without them you do not have the Mouse in any recognizable form.

Mickey Mouse appears as a character in over 200 films, videos, and video games --- and god alone knows how often in other media. Mickey Mouse (Character) You would have a hell of time coming up with an original --- non-infringing --- story for the Mouse.

or for any of the other franchised Disney characters.

Garmin's response to someone following their GPS

Garmin's maps suck. A few years ago, I decided to take a scenic route home by driving around the East side of Lake Stevens (Wash State) instead of the West (direct route). I figured my dashboard GPS would just say "recalculating" and direct me to my destination. But that part of the county is similar to the territory in Winter's Bone or Deliverance. I suspect Garmin just figured that there was nothing worth mapping that far out in the sticks because their map was blank. I tried it again with my hiking eTrex, loaded with Openstreetmap data. No problems*.

*I still kept my doors locked as there were a few residents that looked like "Squeal like a pig" might be a typical greeting.

Many of the cons that seem otherworldly in their magnificence (The Sting) do not work on honest people.

I'll have to assume you didn't get the memo.

It's like, how much more BS MBA crap could this be? and the answer is none. None more (in Nigel Tufnel accent) [Spinal Tap] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...

It's not like this is a new idea...

I'm sure someone with a more acute knowledge of political history could best my lame, Hollywood reference. Political history is rife with idiocy so it's easy to retrofit certain events to the current times.

No it's a social network not a social media.

Well I'm sorry. I'm not Tony Stark.

The actor who says that line is Ralphie from A Christmas Story.

Since TFS didn't explain what "mitochondria" are, I had to look them up myself and found a documentary about them. One scientist explains them as:

Mitochondria are a microscopic lifeforms that reside within all living cells. And we are symbions with them. Without the mitochondrians life could not exist and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us telling us the will of the Force.

I hope this helps.

Let me know when I can buy a squib...:)

Not likely:

William Ginter Riva: Mr. Stane. Sir, we've explored what you've asked us and it seems as though there's a little hiccup. Actually, um...
Obadiah Stane: A hiccup?
William Ginter Riva: Yes, to power the suit... sir, the technology doesn't actually exist. So it...
Obadiah Stane: Wait, wait, the technology?
[puts an arm around him]
Obadiah Stane: William...
[points at the giant arc reactor]
Obadiah Stane: Here is the technology. I've asked you to simply make it smaller.
William Ginter Riva: All right, sir, that's what we're trying to do, but... honestly, it's impossible.
Obadiah Stane: [shouting] Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!
William Ginter Riva: Well, I'm sorry. I'm not Tony Stark.

First, they'll need to make a big huge one that actually works.

The making it wee part? Well, deal with that when you've got step one done.

I watched a movie, it was horrible, about a kid who played video games. His dad, a wealthy person, got him a special video game and it turns out that it was a real recruitment tool. They recruited him to become some sort of warrior, something to do with time was involved, and he had a friend who was also recruited - but his friend was evil.

It was a fantastic plot line.

That's the only redeeming quality that it had. It had bad acting, bad effects, bad settings, bad production, bad directing, bad script writing, and bad everything else. The plot? It was awesome! The movie could have been ten times as good and still been bad. Yup, nary a full order of magnitude's worth of improvements could have made that movie good. It was just that bad.

At any rate, it was based on a video game and you could tell they were trying to stretch it into a series. I have no idea what the video game was and I hope nobody paid to see this movie. I sort of paid, it was on Hulu+ and I was stoned. This was not actually all that long ago - late last year.

The Army recruitment tool made me think of it. I've no idea if the game is any good (I'm not actually a gamer) or anything like that. And, as an aside, I'd expect that anyone that paid to see that movie felt cheated - they were. If I were a gamer and a fan of that game, I'd feel cheated by such a bad movie. It's on the list of the crappiest movies that I've ever seen. It's near the bottom of that list (top?), meaning that it is horrible. I don't know if you're into bad movies or games but this movie is so bad that it needs to be used as an example in movie making school. Really, it is that bad.

I seem to recall some comments that indicated the game was good. I actually watched the entire movie but I've long since forgotten the name - I'm not what you'd call a movie buff. Meh, this is Slashdot. Someone knows the game, the movie, and one odd guy actually liked the movie. Time Warrior, maybe?

Oh. Yup. That's the name... Time Warrior:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt20...

Somehow, it's in the positive star ranking but only at a 3.1. I even like some bad movies. This one? I think this is probably one of the worst ones that I've ever seen - if not the worst. And I've seen Gymkata! Hell, to put this in perspective, I kind of LIKE Gymkata. The Adventures of Remo Williams is almost my favorite movie (assuming documentaries aren't allowed on that list). No, Time Warrior was awful but could have been so great.

At any rate, the whole point of this was - as I mentioned - that it was about using a video game to recruit soldiers. It really had such great potential to be a good movie. The plot was one of the best I've seen - in a while. It was just so poorly executed that I have nothing good to say about it - except that it had great potential. It could easily have been a good movie. It should have been an excellent movie. It might have even been pretty easy to make it a phenomenal movie. Nope... It's so bad that not even *I* like it.

You speak harshly, but you speak the truth.

...they'd better not forget the Goodyear blimp.

Nobody ever even tried to log in and use apps on them.

Well, I haven't tried to log in and use apps on my Android phone either. It's probably just a mindset of some people who don't really need a smartphone.

(Privacy reasons, mostly. If it's a free app, I'm not going to give my information to Google just to get it. It's a shame very few app developers have an APK download link on their web site...)

Or perhaps it's just that people don't know the phone can do neat stuff if nobody tells them it can do that. Many people really don't like to explore and learn. Kind of like the hula hoop scene in _The Hudsucker Proxy_

My pop's favorite movie was "Logan's Run" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...

If you have a good story, everything else falls in to place.

I remember talking to people about The Matrix. They went on at length about the special effects. The story (if any) was incidental. I concluded it had no story at all.

The opposite extreme from my recent experience would be something like the old British spy show The Sandbaggers. Most of it is people talking on the phone and arguing in offices. And it's utterly spellbinding...

One other issue is if you can do anything digitally, you end up with an unrealistic story because anything can be done.

Years ago there was an action movie called "The Transporter." Great action movie with lots of great stunts. Did pretty well at the box office, I guess, because they did a not-so-great sequel, "Transporter 2."

At one point, the bad guys have placed a bomb underneath our hero's car. So our hero drives along until he finds a convenient spot with an appropriate ramp and a crane, drives the car up the ramp and into the air, flipping the car upside down and catching the bomb with the crane. Of course, he continues the flip and lands on two wheels and continues driving while the bad guy ends up blowing up the crane but thinks he blew up the good guy.

Pretty ridiculous, but quite easily done with CGI. So nobody asked, "should we do this pretty ridiculous thing?"

The article quotes the FBI memo as saying, "the FBI and DHS have no information to indicate any specific, credible threats to or associated with Super Bowl 50 or related events". Which means that the people paid to be professionally paranoid and anticipate potential attacks have... Done their fscking jobs and anticipated potential attacks! ZOMG, the sky is falling! Personally, I think it's going to go down like this.

My Hello Kitty Online Adventures account uses "1" as the password.

Ugh... Butters, go buy world of warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation ....

I offer a counter example of just how many speak Klingon.

I should think it's better because it sounds more authentic than someone standing there going "booga booga", and because if you plan on sub-titling things, people might notice if you don't make an effort. Especially if a phrase will be used more than once.

I've watched a bunch of special features/making of for various movies, and the ones which do this can build in much more complex layers and nuance, and sell it as a believable thing ... from Tolkien to the latest Superman, the added depth of creating your own languages makes it seem more plausible and real than "booga booga".

My favorite example of this came from the movie Ultraviolet, which admittedly isn't the best piece of cinema ever. There is a spot in which someone, ostensibly a Chinese speaker, says "xin loi" to say "sorry", which through a Vietnamese friend I recognized as not Chinese but Vietnamese.

If you just have actors say any old gibberish, or pass off one language as another ... someone WILL notice. In that case someone must have decided any Asian language would suffice, because it all sounds the same anyway.

If I spotted it, and I know no more than about 3-4 words of Vietnamese, every Chinese and Vietnamese speaker heard it and went "WTF was that about?".

You mean those Nazis? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt10...

If you want to understand the timeframes that this actually works, watch the movie Meet the Patels. It takes one to two generations for ethnicities that self-isolate to integrate, primarily through their kids.
