  1. I honestly didn't see this coming. But psychic powers were always my weak spot. Still, something to look forward to.

    Hats

    It all depends on the search, as this was on the first page for me.. The thing to remember about hats back when they were worn regularly is that hats weren't (just) style accessories, they were worn for a reason (to keep sun off the head and out of the eyes, to keep the rain away). While there were certain elements of style involved (Like top hat and tails anyone?), they were like coats. A coat (or overcoat, if you prefer) could fit in with a look but once you went indoors, it was dispensed with until you went back out. Which is something most modern-day hat wearers (and coat wearers) have trouble with as there aren't very many places a person can put a hat anymore and not lose it. If I wear a hat, its typicaly a baseball cap and its to keep the sun out of my eyes and from beating down on the top of my head where my hair is thinner and more prone to the sun's rays. But I've been looking into getting some other hat to wear as baseball caps don't work with a tie.
  4. Chandu the Magician - kind of interesting to see such an early action film. Lots of early film gimicks (and a couple of early film story telling techniques that haven't aged very well). But overall pretty fun. Bela Lugosi is good as the evil Roxor.
  5. This is one of the few movies that absolutely made me angry when I saw it in the theaters.
  6. I had a bug in Arcanum that once the cultist left my party my inventory was FUBARed making it impossible to continue on as I lost main quest related items to the ether.
  7. Depending on who does the 3D you can keep the glasses; REAL-D has cheaper glasses that you keep, IMAX 3D (and I think maybe Disney 3D) have big bulky glasses that are returned to the company as a way to keep costs down. I've never gotten eye strain from watching one of the new 3D films so I'm not sure what to say about that. I don't go looking for films in 3D; but the new format for them can lead to some fun images and creates and interesting depth of field view of the action. But beside all of that, I thought MONSTERS VS ALIENS was good without the gimickry.
  8. Monsters Vs Aliens Lots of fun action-adventure film with a sense of humor. Also a lot of homages to 50s Sci-Fi/horror films, so double fun for me. Add in IMAX 3D and it was quite the experience. I think I grinned during the entire movie. Now my face is sore.
  9. Eh, 2001 was okay, but I kinda agree with a friend who said that the people who got the most out of the movie were probably stoned in the theater when it came out originally. While I kinda like the film, its definately what I'd call "ponderous" in its pacing (others might use "plodding").

    Maths

    In that event, zero is the original imaginary number. Not really, zero can be quite adequately be represented as the absence of the objects used to represent numbers; if you have 5 apples on a table and remove 5 your lack of apples is 0. samm - Physics? Why'd it have to be physics...give me the abstract world of mathmatics any day.
  11. No One Can Stop the Monkey Oppression Metal Nudist Demolition Charlie Brown's Furry from Planet X Transvestite Croquet Stars
  12. While I thought Solyaris was fairly slow paced and frankly difficult to get through, I ultimately found the film enjoyable even if I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

    Maths

    I always took imaginary to mean the numbers which could not be represented by objects as opposed to non-existant.
  14. Off the top of my head, I've not finished: Persona 4 Eternal Poison Final Fantasy II Divine Divinity Temple of Elemental Evil NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer Ogre Battle Age of Mythology Diablo II: The Lord of Destruction Invictus Escape from Monkey Island Grim Fandango Pool of Radiance Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Shining Soul Shining Soul II Sumon Night 2 Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Touch Detective Sacred Farcry 2 Ninety Nine Nights Bladestorm Dungeon Lord 8 Eyes Phantasie Phantasie II Luminous Arc Zork Enchanter Sorcerer Basically any game made by Infocom I ever tried. There are tonnes more...
  15. They're midgets dressed as kids in the hope to get close and stab Kung Fu Master in the face.
  16. Marvel is making their own films, and since they leveraged the rights to certain characters in order to make sure that they got the financing, they kinda have to make a bunch of movies. But they also seem to be an easy blockbuster these days, there are tonnes of superhero characters licensed for movies. Tonnes! Of course there are some non-superhero characters that have been licensed as well. Josh Brolin in horror-western Jonah Hex for example. When has Hollywood not made remakes (or adaptions from other sources)?
  17. So who was it that walked down the hallway behind the interview at 1:48? Speculation?
  18. That's a bit like saying you're tired of them adapting novels into movies, innit? Why would the source matter?
  19. Watched DARK FLOORS the Lordi film. It had a nice premise, but I could kinda tell by how the story progressed what was going to end up happening.
  20. http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810029193/trailer Drag Me to Hell - Sam Rami's return to horror films.
  21. I never had Fallout Tactics so if I ever saw a release like that I'd consider getting it.
  22. The screenwriter said in an interview that he changed the end There are some things I wish the end did differently, but I'm not sure I'm bugged by the lack of the .
  23. Watchmen; given that no adaption is going to be perfect (that's why it exists in its original media), I thought they did a decent job adapting the story to the screen. Not perfect, but what is?
  24. That sounds to be a bit silly of a way to do things though.
