No, no. It will suck because it's about a rich girl falling in love with a poor guy. Only with vampires. I'm fucking orgasmic with anticipation.
I know I can't expect an entirely new concept anymore, but this is just a crappy chick-porn book with some stolen Hong Kong fight scenes edited in to make it a "date movie" and some vampires and leather added at the last minute to cash in on this month's studio funding splurge for Matrix/LotR-related geek movies. I can get more artistic integrity form most porn flicks these days.

If they can get away with pretending that this guy isn't Vampire Hunter D, I think they'll be ok.
A paraphasing of a conversation I overheard in line at the grocery store a few hours ago. I'm not even kidding.
Guy 1: Ya know, now that were done fighting those guys, we're gonna be fighting some other guys, I heard.
Guy 2: Which guys?
Guy 1: Uhhh, we finished fighting, uh, the Saddamn guys, right? They were the ones we just finished fighting, right?
Guy 2: Osama?
Guy 1: No, he was the one in Bosny. (not Bosnia, Boz-nee)
Guy 2: He wasn't in Iraq?
Guy 1: No, yeah, we finished fighting Iraq just now, and Saddam.
Guy 2: Yeah.
Guy 1: So now the news said we're gonna fight some other guys next.
Guy 2: Who?
Guy 1: I dunno, somebody.
Guy 2: Cool.
In conclusion, it's bad enough these adult men, about 30, making enough money to afford business suits, are allowed to vote and operate tons of hurtling steel on a regular basis. I'd just as soon keep their options for killing me to a minimum. Unless you give me some "discression" of my own in that sort of situation, I'll be opposing any proposal to increase their destructive potential.
And if by some chance those guys can read, operate a computer, and are reading this, I'd just like to say that me and the cashier made so much fun of them. At least we can keep holding out hope for the next generation.
Kind of like freedom of speech, but with less uptime and fewer features than they said it would have. Also, you can never find the button to open the goddamn trunk.
Good save! But you still have to come up with explainations for Iraq, Columbia, Cuba, Panama, El Salvador, Indonesia, and everywhere else where way more heavily armed people than us get fucked over regularly.
That's stupid. It's not like there's some line where sky stops and space starts. At least not one that wasn't arbitrarially selected. It's a spacecraft if you want to call it one, but without orbit it's still a toy. Alan Shepard was a test pilot testing a vehicle. Beyond testing the stuff that got you there, there's not much a suborbital flight can get you besides a minute of weightlessness and bragging rights. That makes it a toy. There's no work you can do with it that couldn't be done on a trip to Six Flags.
Right, now it just comes apart over the entire hull. I'm sure the honeycomb stuff is hella-strong, but... ok, I can't think of a glib analogy right now, but if I had one it would be pointing out that seams are where things fall apart, generally, you know, and getting rid of seams wouldn't stop it from falling apart, or something. Christ, I'm high.
1) Basic parabolic flight path You throw a ball straight out, it curves toward the ground. The harder you throw, the farther it goes before it hits the ground.
2) The earth is round. If you go in a perfect, absolute straight line perpendicular to the ground wherever you're standing, you'll end up going higher and higher as the earth curves away below you.
3) Perpendicular flight path on a scale where the curvature of the earth becomes a factor If you throw something really freakin' hard, it'll go far enough for the earth to curve away before it hits the ground. Gravity continues to pull towards the center of the earth, so the ball continues to fall in that direction. However, since the ball was fast enough to fly past the ground the first time, and since above the atmosphere there's not much friction to slow it down, the ball will keep orbiting the earth until something stops it.
You can reach whatever altitude you want maintaining 1 mph the whole time, however, you'll start falling the moment you turn off your rocket unless you get enough lateral velocity to get into an orbit.
Escape velocity is nyah an entirely different concept from orbits. Escape velocity tells you when you're going fast enough that you can turn off your rocket and keep drifting towards infinity, or how fast the muzzle velocity on your space cannon has to be to get your cannonball to Mars.
If this is incomprehensible it's because/. hates my asciiart visual aids. Taco, you square! Quit opressing my art!
Shit, all this time it's been my morals and my soul keeping me from getting any? Goddamn! Get me Satan on line 2, baby! I got me some jiggy to get with!
How the hell do you get Bob out of Mohammed Saeed al Sahhaf? Or should I be calling the Bob Anti-defamation League to notify them of this appalling new sterotype of dishonesty being linked to those named Bob?
Not so much. It's pretty good at pointing out how far to the right the center's moved in the past few decades, and what the Democrats need to do to stop being so Charlie Brown. Mostly it's just a liberal answer to Bill O'Rilley or whoever's big this second. Strictly for entertainment purposes.
Honest to god, as much as I hated Reagan, I wish he was still ambulatory enough to keep his dogs tied up. I can't help but think that Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and these guys were just waiting for the guy to go away so they could jump up on the couch. Reagan as a moderating influence? We're all screwed! Or maybe I'm just getting old enough to start pretending the 80s weren't a disaster.
What the fuck is with smokers these days? I smoke on and off, but I have enough fucking common sense to figure out that carrying around flaming shit in my mouth is a little irregular. Are you so pathetic that you collapse into a jibbering spooge-heap the moment you start getting oxygen to your brain, or are you just a self-absorbed asshole? Take some responsability for your fucking actions, for fuck's sake.
Sorry pinko, but here in America we exalt our criminals and elevate them to prominent leadership positions. Go back to Soviet Russia if you want to use prisons for something other than oblique economic segregation.
I think everybody did. Jobs named it after the record company, and the record company sued him for trademark infringement.
Actually, I think Apple promised not to sell records somewhere back then, so I guess if they're actually looking at that deal they figured out a loophole. Maybe it's ok if they keep everything under Universal's name or something.
Quit pitting apples against oranges and try running Windows with a light window manager then, too. It's going to be faster than X with FVWM or whatever you pick, I assure you.
I don't know if it's holding back Linux, but X is slow, and you have to quit pretending it isn't or it'll never get fixed.
So I guess the assumption we're working with here is that the agents can change their weight? With the fighting stuff, it seems they have to either have insane mass or that they anchor themselves in place somehow. I'd lean toward some kind of anchor, since the fights seem to go along the lines of punch, puch, kick, kick, Neo puts his guard down, next puch sends him flying. There's still lots of needless destruction like cracking concrete after jumping a few dozen feet in the air and landing in a shock-absorbing stance, and jumping off a bridge and crushing an SUV into the ground. I guess it just comes down to anime physics then. Actions only have reactions if it looks cool, and there's no such thing as terminal velocity.

There's plenty of us that need this, I'm sure.

Really, he's only gotten nicer since we killed his wife and kids.
Drink Kevin.
It is Bizzaro!
So I guess it's Mitnik for congress then.
