  1. So it's sortof like an English proficiency test. What do you need that for ?.
  2. Bobs don't need an excuse, you whiney feminists.
  3. But 20s-30s has all the cool cars, tommy guns, the prohibition and awesome jazz clubs Unfortunately not an exhaustive list
  4. 10s. The Kaiser, zeppelins, steam powered warships.
  5. I think someone said the world map would be about the same.
  6. I wouldn't hold out much hope for mutant transvestite prostitutes.
  7. He killed his Zombie dog ?. I don't even remember that. Main problem to me was that the zombies were too
  8. Subtitles are awesome. Mainly because they DON'T amputate an extremely important part of an actor's toolset. The Germans, French and the Italians must be insane to put up with it on a routine basis. At least Hollywood just does a knockoff with American actors.
  9. I dunno, the screenies I've seen tend towards being more goofball than grimey.
  10. Going by other Bethesda games and what I've garnered from here there will be nothing even remotely X rated about FO NV.
  11. Donny Darko is hard to categorize. Since a large part of its fractured story deals with parallel universes, where else would you put it? I dunno, but technology does not play a factor, neither does 'the future'. I would say it's a movie about the inside of Donny Darko's head.
  12. of course not, who would? since it was obviously only added so people could "look at themselves" and not as a game-play element. since many people prefer 3rd person though, i'd imagine this is why it's of interesting note to read that New Vegas is being tweaked to make 3rd person actually playable. I always played in 3d over the shoulder. Which was also why I was running around in raider badlands armour towards the end of the game. The only gear I could stand looking at. I only discovered by accident that it was possible to zoom in with the mouse wheel all the way to FPS view. I honestly don't think many people played the game in first person.
  13. It seems like the popular definition of sci fi is very wide, there is a lot on that list that most people would simply never think of when asked to name sci fi movies. For instance, is Watchmen sci fi. Definately. Transformers, It's an action movie with robots, nothing even resembling social comment.
  14. Hey V for Vendetta, that was a rather good adaptation. I forgot about that one.
  15. So Donny Darko is sci fi. By that definition almost any movie would count. Also, Iron man ?. Lets stick that under superhero.
  16. You might want to consider your electric bill as well.
  17. Yes I was feeling rather long in the tooth as well as I was trying to recall the movies I had liked.
  18. Dark city is from 1999 as well. You mean the one where Kiefer Sutherland discovers the truth about the strange city he lives in ?.
  19. And it's from 1999. Nevermind.
  20. The matrix was definite sci fi and delved rather heavily into philosophy as well. It belongs there. Maybe it would have been easier if it had been just one movie, as people eventually got tired of them - and of Keanu Reeves - myself included, but # 1 is certainly part of what defines sci fi for the 00's
  21. There is almost no good sci fi for the last decade so it's tough going. But yeah. k-pax ?.
  22. Ip Man, 1 & 2. Supposedly about the founder of Wing Tsun, which is somewhat similar to Ju-jutsu. Man, it's a relief to see a martial arts movie where the principles don't routinely fly around like superman. They (Ip Man 1 & 2) are about the Japanese occupation, so they have the same setting as the greatest martial arts movie of all time, Fist of Legend. Unfortunately it kinda lacks Japanese characters which aren't complete caricatures. Still, it's like a welcome return to the old formula. Ip Man kicking some ass : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qhPDEOYbx4
  23. I just discovered my mom is actually an anti-evolutionist, if that's a word. I didn't think they would accept a hippie. She doesn't believe in the literal interpretation of the bible, rather it seemed to revolve around her not liking the notion of descending from apes. She seems to particularly dislike chimpanzees. I mean, yeah gorillas are definitely cooler animals.
  24. Didn't the US grab LA from Mexico back in the day. I mean if anyone doesn't 'belong' wouldn't that be the Yanks.
  25. It was pretty straightforward. Definitely not overburdened in the plot department. Sort of a quick top 3 of the main themes and moments of the early comic that didn't go much into detail.
