The idea of doing a Star Wars animated feature was just a stupid idea in the first place. You don't follow up 6 live action serious movies with a goofy animated film. I think someone at Lucasfilm saw the success of the "Clone Wars" Cartoon Network serials and got more than a little cocky. This thing had "made for TV" written all over it from the get-go.
I want to know exactly HOW he can even force them to be taken down. I guess Fox or Lucasfilm could bar reviewers from future screenings if they refuse, but it's not like he can take away their first amendment rights to say "Your movie sucked ass." Unless they signed some kind of non-disclosure agreement, they should tell Lucas to go fuck himself. No, on second thought, they should tell him "Youssa go fuck yourself."
If I had been, I wouldn't have sat in the back (and without even a whimper of protest). As far back as we were, I could have saved a lot of money and just watched it at home. But such are the sacrifices we make for the fairer sex.
I can't believe that the FBI wouldn't step into this to defend this man. After all, they're under a presidential administration that has, to date, been so pro-science.
It looked just like regular film to me. But it was hard to tell, since I was with a girl who doesn't understand that sitting way back in the last row of a movie theater defeats the purpose of going to one in the first place. But I'm sure it was at least 2K (2048×1080 at 24 fps).
Visible computer glitches pop up in the most unexpected places these days. I went to a 25th anniversay screening of Wargames at a local theater recently. I wasn't even aware that I was in a digital theater until about halfway through the movie their server lost connection to the host and the movie theater screen suddenly turned into a giant Windows desktop. It was a little unnerving (I had thought I was looking at an actual film).
I think it's something we will just get used to seeing in this increasingly digital age. I just hope I'm not driving down the street one day and see a "lost connection to server" message flashing on a stoplight.
Before I accepted Linux into my heart, I was a miserable man--a wanton sinner with no purpose. But now every day is filled with joy and true happiness, spreading the message of Linux! Have *you* heard the good news about Linux?
I literally have an entire extra bedroom in my house that's just filled with old tech crap. 3 old DVD players, 2 Xbox 1's (one of which is broken), a wide assortment of A/V converters/switches, enough cabling to reach the moon and back, about 10 video cards, 3 modems, 3 soundcards, 2 motherboards, 4 computer cases, one full Pentium 2 computer, 2 CRT monitors, 3 VCR's, 2 laserdisc players (the DVD player of its day), some 20-odd remote controls, one CED player, one turntable, and so many countless obscure tech items that I often even surprise myself going through one of these boxes o'crap.
I keep telling myself I may need some of this stuff one day (and a few times I actually have). But mostly, I'm just too lazy to throw it away and wouldn't know how to if I wasn't (hate to just dump this stuff into a landfill).
The lead engineer on the project added "Our engineers are currently testing the cloak extensively in women's locker rooms, on their speeding cars, to sneak into class late, to hide from bumbling crooks, and in other comic scenarios which have, to date, only been seen in lame movies. Our hope is to perfect the technology to the point where an engineer can sneak up on the bully that tormented him in high school and kick him in the testicles." After detailing the particulars of the complex optic engineering of the project, he concluded with "The day is now in sight where we will have a cloaking device truly worthy of an early-90's Kirk Cameron movie--or, God willing, even a Michael J. Fox made-for-TV movie from the 80's."
Since rhe airline industry and TSA have, to date, provided not a single study or even shread of evidence thar cells pose any threat, I'd give the Mythbusters the edge on this one.
Don't be silly. There's no need to do some elaborate ceremony to summon Satan when they can just look right over to him and say "Um...Mr. Vice President..."
Reminds me of that "Enter the Dragon" parody in The Kentucky Fried Movie, where the guy keeps discovering bug after bug in his hotel room (each one more absurd than the last), until the camera pans out and we see that there is a little Chinese guy actually following him around with a boom mike.
And some mountains have really cool ski lodges, like that one in Colorado that my ex and I went to right after we got married. Man, those were great times. Do you know that they had heated ski lifts? I mean, how cool is THAT, huh?

P1 and P3 motherboards, all cases are AT form factor except for one ATX (sans power supply).

No one else is a sex machine to all the chicks like me.
It would cost way more than that just to ship it.
If movies have taught me anything (and they've pretty much taught me everything I know), all we need is a strategically placed bag of flour.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to woo the girl of my dreams by standing outside her window at 2 a.m. with a blaring boombox.

It sounds to me like we need to tell our helicopter pilots to stop being such a bunch of pussies.

No way am I supporting those Georgians. May I remind my fellow Americans that a Georgian separatist once tried to kill the governor of California?
The Mythbusters already exposed this as a load of crap.
I, for one, would support any pro-poking legislation.

You would be surprised at the lengths fools and their money will go to set themselves apart as having more money to burn than everyone else.
Just look at any rap star. Some stupid hick from the ghetto gets a 2-album contract and immediately spends it all on a gold plated house.
It's "Congress" right? Because they don't have a congress in England, they have a Parliment.
See, I'm not so dumb.

Come on, just buy some soap...just one bar...I need this man!
