Look, we have Bruce in one freezer for when that football field size meteor comes strait for earth one day, we can just put Smith in the next chamber for when the inevitable day comes and the robots rebel causing bloody murder! Or should I say, MDKs...murder death kill.:)
Narrator [in
movie]: Ordinary human dating. It's enjoyable and it serves an
important purpose. [He turns the table over and a crying baby appears.
He turns it back again.] But when a human dates an artificial mate,
there is no purpose. Only enjoyment. And that leads to...tragedy.
[The woman behind him
turns into a blank robot and the man downloads a celebrity onto it.]
Billy [in
movie]: Neato! A Marylin Monroebot!
Monroebot [in
movie]: Ooo! You're a real dreamboat (mechanical voice) Billy
Everyteen!
Narrator [in
movie]: Harmless fun? Let's see what happens next!
[The scene cuts to
Billy's bedroom. He is kissing the Monroebot. Enter his mother.]
Billy's Mom [in
movie]: Billy, do you want to walk your dog?
Billy [in
movie]: No thank Mom, I'd rather make out with my Monroebot.
[Enter his dad.]
Billy's Dad [in
movie]: Billy, do want to get a paper route and earn some extra cash?
Billy [in
movie]: No thanks dad, I'd rather make out with my Monroebot.
[Enter his girlfriend,
Mavis, from the café.]
Mavis [in
movie]: Billy, do you want to come over tonight? We can make out
together.
Billy [in
movie]: Gee Mavis, your house is across the street, that's an awfully
long way to go for making out.
Narrator
[in movie]: Did you notice what went wrong in that scene? Ordinarily
Billy would work hard to make money from his paper route then he'd use
the money to buy dinner for Mavis, thus earning the slim chance of
performing the reproductive act. But in a world where teens can date
robots why should he bother? Why should anyone bother? Let's take a
look at Billy's planet a year later. [The scene changes and a foam hand
rolls across an empty American football field] Where are all the
football stars? [The foam hand continues to drift across an empty
laboratory.] And where are the biochemists? [The scene changes to a
split screen of a pair of human and robots making out on beds.] They
are trapped - trapped in a soft, vice-like grip of robot lips. All
civilisation was just an effort to impress the opposite sex. And
sometimes the same sex. Now, let's skip forward 80 years into the
future. Where is Billy?
[The scene
changes to a post-apocalyptic world. Billy is an aged man but he is
still with his Monroebot and still making out with her.]
Billy [in
movie]: Farewell!
[He dies.]
Narrator
[in movie]: The next day Billy's planet was destroyed by aliens. [In
the movie a fleet of flying saucers destroy buildings with a quick
laser shot.] Have you guessed the name of Billy's planet? It was Earth.

I stumbled upon afew of those animated eps. about year ago on um... kazza. Wow, they are pretty cool! Granted the plots are grossly condenced, but they do things in the cartoon that they could never have imagined to do in live action...at the time. I kind of see this series as a prelude to greater things. ie. TNG. Perhaps the best thing about the short lived series was that all the original cast voices were used for the characters. Spock can kick logical ass in any medium it seems.
Exactly. Art fuels the imagination. Art gives us glimpses of the possible and the impossible. Art transcends reality. Its what seperates us from the monkeys!
It's because he is Joe Everyman, whom we can all identify with... well except for the fact he has a chainsaw for an arm, and uh... a unique ability to piss off the undead, oh and ofcourse his magnetic attraction to the opposite sex. But yea, other than that, he is just like us!

Just like when they said the iPod would be a failure... right!

Not to mention its less evil! When you use google, only part of your soul is consumed. Better than the alternative I say.

We know they have WMDs. (hello! all that Radiation doesn't just fall out of the sky! they are hiding something)
Soon all martians and moonmen will know what it is to live in a democracy (whether they like it or not!)

1. 5 minutes of yet unseen footage of Princess Lea in chains and bikini
2. 15 minutes of extended (grusome) Ewok death scenes during the final battle.
3. 10 minute conversation of luke and Darth reminicing and coming to terms over their 'broken family' .
4. cut scene of Luke working on the farm....tilling perhaps...or milking the cows. - you know, to add context
5. an indepth and real explanation of the implications of the kiss between luke and his sister....ewwww.
6.ummmmm, more cut scenes of lea belly dancing in the casino ship.
that would add atleast another 40min easy! :).
...just like a frightened turtle!

Besides being able to stare at the Apple logo on your window's desktop :)
But whatever you use, get Ad-aware...you will need it. :)
If Linus had gigantic breasts and long flowing hair.....oh wait MB not.
and raise you 3 Britany Spears Singles, plus an N'Sync CD. It's a bit risk, but I'm willing to take it!
Perhaps now they will be able to crank out those new chips in good time... as opposed to every other year!

Still, it is true more often than not.
thats that.
Ah, a common mistake. Most people forget that OSX is also shiny AND lickable, besides just being blazingly fast.
