    The Flash - season 2

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Force has a long explanation. But the TV show may have it's own definition, so YMMV.

    Television Shows That Were Cancelled After Major Cliffhangers!

    Technically, it's still a TV show which was canceled on a cliffhanger. :) Plus, I just love the idea of a "family sitcom" ending with a main character being captured, tortured, and seemingly having no hope of rescue.

    Twilight

    I picked up all four books 2 weeks ago, and devoured them. Read all 4 in just under a week. Loved them all. Admittedly the whole time I was a little baffled by how much I liked them. I'm a 34yo male. And they're quite obviously targeted at teen girls. I'm not sure if it's the quality of the...

    You can't have forgotten hippie Barney. "A hippie working in a coffee shop in the mid-1990s, Barney planned a two-year stint in the Peace Corps in Nicaragua with his girlfriend Shanon, but she dumped him for an older, more well-off and suited man. He recorded a video of himself singing in an...

    Heroes season 1 thread

    I'm going to have to go with Richard Ramirez. I don't think there are two timelines... Yet. I think Hiro doesn't realize that the Cheerleader isn't dead. They got to the school late, and when they asked the police, the police said "A cheerleader died." So 'Future' Hiro hasn't changed...

    Lost season 3 discussion....

    Perhaps I'm watching too much Heroes. :) What if the 'event' triggered by desmond, split time. So one plane did crash off the island, everyone dead. Meanwhile the alternate timeline plane crashed on the island. So the island somehow exists in an 'odd-time-pocket'. So the plane crash...

    Survivor: Fiji

    She knew she was going. In her position I would have been even more blatent. And then if/when I found it, I'd wave it around. :) What are the others going to do? They can't actually make someone stop digging.

    Survivor: Cook Islands

    Plan VooDoo was doomed the minute he asked Yul to be a part of it. 3 people had been Exiled. They were going to vote for two of them. If it had gone down like that, neither would have pulled the idol, so by default. Yul would be revealed. So I'm betting Yul didn't support Plan Voodoo that...

    Improving The Theater Experience

    So does anyone think that part of the problem is that going to a movie isn't 'Special' anymore? I believe when I was young, the movie theater was only open Friday-Sunday. And then only had 1 screen and 5 showings. Going to a movie was special, you actually had to plan it out. Now I have...

    close-in fighting scenes ....

    My thought is that they're trying to make you feel more like a participant, than just an observer. Although I'll agree, I'm not a huge fan. Loved Batman, wished the fights were clearer.

    R - No one under 18. PG13 - No one under 13. PG - No one under... 10? G - Anyone. Parental Guidance isn't what it used to be. *shrug*

    Lost Season 1 ongoing thread (merged)

    Jack had to be at the funeral. So maybe he thought he could pass off an empty coffin? I've been trying to go with the idea, that Lost looks 'mystical' but that everything actually has a (mostly) logical explanation. Haven't quite figured out the large thing knocking trees over...

    Why 24 FPS?

    The main reason that film looks like film, (IMAX included) and video looks like video has to do with how 'brightness' is recorded. Video tends to have a very linear progression of brightness. While Film is more logarithmic. (Much like the human eye.) I haven't been able to find any good...

    Tivo For Radio?

    I'm betting this is what you're looking for. http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/337/C1666/ Found it on http://gizmodo.net/ (the Gizmo blog) Sounds cool, but a bit spendy.

    ***Official Zelda:The Wind Waker - Your thoughts here... Thread***

    I did the 999 hits. My technique. I kept hitting him (towards & B) until he blocked a hit, then I block till he hits me once. Then back to rapidly hitting him. Only got hit once, and that was around 800. My thumbs were tired. Anyway. After you hit him 999... He stops the fight...

    Dvd Etc. Magazine Poll: All Members Please Respond

    1. Seven - The DVD is closer to the Director's intentions than the film was. 2. Fight Club - Lot's of Extras, great movie, great transfer. 3. Citizen Kane - Just to show that classic films can benefit from DVD's just as much as modern films. Only 3? ouch.
