I liked it. Thought it was another solid episode. I thought they'd used Simmons and Fitz' first names in the first episode...but may be mistaken.

And then I'll post a picture of myself at a gym as counterproof.* *or I would if I had a camera. And a gym.

If Freud taught me anything, you're obviously repressing deep and traumatic sexual urges directed at your parents. Isn't that pretty much the response to any dream with regard to Freud?

This sounds like it should be a title to a Heavy Metal inspired rock Epic. No, it can't be a "Road to" unless the companions turn out to be Bob Hope or Bing Crosby.... and there are musical comedy numbers involved. Edit: And that's what happens when you go to catch up on the forums after a couple of days without reading here and make a snap quote reply without having read to the final page.. you find someone's already done the same form of reply.. darn. Great minds and all that.

Diablo 1 also came out on the playstation 1. And back in 1991, I played Arcus Odyssey on the Sega Genesis. The problem really isn't that isometic on consoles is difficult, it that's Isometric + party + real time = pain in the ass for a controller user. There is still a cottage industry for Japanese games that uses an isometric style turn based party RPGs, but handling a party in turn based isn't really an issue like it is in real time (or even real time with pause).

Weird Dream - Eartha Kitt was announcing to the press that she was going to do a 90th birthday tour around the world. She didn't explain how she would do this having, sadly, passed on a few years ago, instead dodging the question. Nor was there any explanation as to why the press conference was happening in my shower as I was trying to get ready to go to work and, in fact, taking a shower.

This sounds like it should be a title to a Heavy Metal inspired rock Epic. Sounds like a Hope & Crosby film to me - "We must storm the place!" "You storm. I'll stay here and drizzle." "Oh, nothing to worry about. If he should give you a nip, it's very simple. All you do is to get hold of your bowie knife like this, make a cut on here, suck out the poison and spit it away. Very simple." "Yeah, but what if he bites me in a place I can't reach?" "That is when you find out who your real friends are." "How do you figure on paying for all this?" "What are you, scared? You got red blood, ain't you?" "Yeah, but I don't want to get it all over strangers. "Go ahead, eat up, eat up son. I'll think of something. "These guys don't monkey around, they got knives, they're liable to try and get the food back the hard way." etc.

I don't get why a clone raised amongst Remans that rose up to lead Romulan society, would name his flagship after a middle eastern earth weapon. Linguistic coincidence? Translation convenience? Sloppy writing? Lets see, since last I posted here I watched - HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS - made with the original cast from the show, directed by the creator of the show. But its more mid-60s Hammer Vampire film than Dark Shadows film; Barnabas never makes it to tortured hero and instead kills most of his relatives. NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS - you can tell the film is heavily edited (music cuts jarringly) and yet this story, or a man being tempted by a dead witch who is also trying to bring herself back to life works so much better than the first film. TIM BURTON'S DARK SHADOWS - more like the first HOUSE film than the TV series with a number of direct parallels; the big difference is they split HOUSE's villain Barnabas into good guy (although not as tortured) and bringing in TV villain Angelique to play the villain role out to destroy the family. Lots of good stuff marred by some really bad/inexplicable things (like Dr. Hoffman going down on Barnabas). MONSTERS UNIVERSITY - I probably liked it better than the first film. Very enjoyable look at College Life. HOCUS POCUS - Disney does witches. Pretty fun, but what was up on the stressing at every opportunity the lead characters virginity? And why do the bullies steal his shoes but not his bike? And why does Kathy Najimay think gurning was good characterization? Still it was fun. RETURN OF THE MOD SQUAD - one of the earliest reunion movies, Pete, Julie and Linc come back to help their former Captain after someone tries to kill him. Lots of guest stars and the leads still have the same chemistry they had on the series. THE NAKED JUNGLE - Charlton Heston brings a mail-order bride to his Peruvian plantation where they end up fighting rampaging Army Ants that eat everything in their path. Part romance, part base under seige film. I enjoyed it after not having seen it for a decade or two. PANDORUM - enjoyable sci-fi horror film about a colony ship plagued by mutated cannibal creatures. I'd forgotten much of what happened. Not perfect, there are a few nagging questions, but I thought it fun. CARS 2 - goofy sequel to the original and a fun riff on spy cliches.

didn't he build that super tranq gun Coulson uses? Don't remember. But how often since that have they needed him to invent something on the fly? They've even had Simmons running the tech stuff at times.

Didn't say she could - so far Fitz hasn't really had to either.

Yeah I didn't think you were serious. SOA = School of Americas. There was a protest at Ft. Benning Georgia that RT and others were covering, a bunch of people got arrested (and RT wasn't, from memory, the only reporters arrested).

Yes, it's a thing. And it looks like I'm going to be hosting my lesbian friend and her gf for sunday at least. Simply because they don't want to be around my friends ex I just can't help but see endless possibilities for how that situation might turn out Calax. If you could make something happen there you will have officially knocked Ros off his throne as the party king of this forum! "Most people have a full measure of life... and most people just watch it slowly drip away. But if you can summon it all up... at one time... in one place... you can accomplish something... glorious." Yes...I did just quote Highlander II: The Quickening...

In the provided clip, its impossible to say if it was justified or not - there's no context for what happened prior to the police moving in to arrest the woman. I'm not saying the police didn't overreact - they're prone to with regard to the SOA - but you couldn't really prove it by what was provided in that clip.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Trailer:

If it's not Japanese would it still be called anime? Anime is the word for animation; technically it does not refer to specifically Japanese Animation anymore than Manga would refer only to Japanese comic books. US (or possible English speaking) animation fans adopted the use of Anime in English to refer to Japanese Animation so they could distinguish it from non-Japanese Animation. As I recall from being somewhat cognizant of the fandom at the time this derrived from two points, the first was that the then-in-use term, Japanimation was seen as derogatory by Japanese animators (who viewed the word as being "Jap Animation" instead of a combination of Japan + Animation) and the second because fandom at the time insisted that they have a different term than just "animation" so that people didn't think they watched Disney cartoons (or Filmation, or Hana-Barbera or any of the non-Japanese animation companies that they saw as "kiddie" as opposed to the "adult" stuff they watched). But how they use it doesn't effect what it actually means. Also, since I'm here, I didn't really like The Batman and was more annoyed Legion of Super-Heroes got cancelled when KidsWB! was ditched.

They had a serious bird problem on that. I like this one -

^That would be the 2004 DOWNFALL (aka Der Untergang) whereas KaineParker is talking about the 1997 DOWNFALL (aka Chang)

That day will be when cars also become fully automated. I'm sensibly direct with most issues, but when the self-driving Neo Prius horde takes over, I will literally Hulk into a loud-mouthed internal combustion alarmist. TAKE BACK THE WHEEL Oh man, I can't wait until driving is automated. I'm in my car about 2 hours a day, most of it highway. I could do so much with that time. I have to admit, at this point I kinda feel that the computers can't drive any worse than people do now.

A Nobel laureate is someone who's received a Nobel Prize, not a Nobel Prize. Or are you asking for your own personal Peter Higgs to put on display? He'd look spiffy on the mantle.

Fitz is an engineer, Simmons is a biologist. Fitz's role is dealing with the experimental tech and such they encounter, Skye couldn't fill that role. I did think it was funny having that other hacker dude using SHIELD's crazy no-one-else-on-earth-has-this operating system and being able to hack into electronic locks and such within seconds. Sure Skye could - in episodes already aired - Simmons has filled in for Fitz on their technology and Skye's been shown to have more technological savvy than Simmons.

It was, IIRC, broadcast as a TV movie. Chuck Jones was the director and I've always liked it. Its possible you either remember a different version or - at least in relation to Rikki's coat color - that your TV may have been experiencing issues. Pretty sure that dates earlier than that. A lot of the later Hammer Horror films (late 60s, early 70s) are guaranteed to have some woman spilling out of her bodice (they loved period pieces) or otherwise unclad (for example Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires, Twins of Evil, Vampire Circus, Satanic Rites of Dracula). And as the drive-ins tried to pack teens/20-year-olds in the 70s would jam some sex/nudity in almost every low-budget horror film (and some of the big budget ones). I watched Puppet Master IX: Axis of Evil which was a fun return to killer puppets vs Nazis. But who in their right mind thought to set the movie in 1939 with the US involved in WWII?

I really think one of the scientists is going to die. I'm leaning towards the male scientist, Fitz, since he's the techie and his skills in that area overlap with Skye's (and I don't think they're planning to kill her). But they're also using the scientists interchangeably a lot, which really means there's no story reason to keep both of them (and they're taking time from developing the other characters) and lots of story reason to get rid of one of them.

Wow...awkward.
