    Zombie Movie Appreciation Thread

    OK, I am not a fan of zombie movies, but I just popped in here to post what I think is the funniest quote by a zombie movie fan. I'm sorry that I don't have the link, but a fan wrote an essay about zombie movies and when I got to the sentence "There's no such thing as a good zombie movie." I...

    Iron Man (2008)

    I have to agree that as comic book adaptations this isn't up there with Batman Begins or Ghost in the Shell, but it's certainly in the same ballpark. Mostly I think the positive response it's getting (i.e. claims that it is better than Batman Begins) comes from the lighter tone. Anyway...

    KotOR2 restoration project nearing completion!

    Well, if you like a game where your choices impact the game world, check out Fallout and Fallout 2 sometime. Here's hoping Bethesda doesn't screw up Fallout 3. New update (taken from a post at the official Obsidian forums): Looks like it's going to be more than 3 weeks, but they're...

    KotOR2 restoration project nearing completion!

    http://www.team-gizka.org/wip.html As any PC game fan knows, the otherwise excellent Knights of the Old Republic 2 was released in an unfinished state due to scheduling restrictions (LucasArts wanted it released in time for Christmas). Interestingly, the resources for the cut content was...

    Heroes season 1 thread

    I'm betting they won't go that route. Part of the concept of the show is that each season is a relatively self-contained story arc (that's why they're called "volumes" and have titles ["Genesis" for volume 1, "Generations" for volume 2, etc.]). I'm thinking that the bomb business is pretty well...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    I never claimed I was listing all of the traits. You're in the early stages of constructing a straw man. Careful.

    Or just have daddy Noah train her and she's basically Painkiller Jane. ;)

    Heroes season 1 thread

    A lot of inconsistencies in season one can be forgiven by explaining that the characters are still inexperienced. That excuse isn't going to fly for very long though (pun intended). However, the writers are going to have to come up with some kind of limitation on Peter and Sylar, otherwise...

    Heroes season 1 thread

    I think Nikki understood that. She was asking why he didn't let her get hit instead of him. Obviously, Nikki and DL need more practice using their powers together. DL should have phased Nikki rather than taking the bullet himself. With a little practice, those two could be a very lethal...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    What you and I think is irrelevant. What is relevant is what is thought by the academics who study this sort of thing, and the items I listed have been identified as common characteristics of fascist regimes from Germany to Italy to latin America. That's not based on my personal opinion, it is...

    No, I am not confusing ideology with totalitarianism, which is why I listed the things that academics identify as characteristics of fascist regimes. Please note that very little on that list is specific to totalitarianism. Back on topic: Arrrrrgh! Why do we have to wait so long?

    Office XP and Vista

    I don't have specific experience with that version of office on that version of windows, but traditionally, new Microsoft operating systems do just fine running older versions of office. After all, Microsoft would have strong motivation to make sure they work together, or they'd risk having one...

    How would that work? If the 5 are hybrids themselves, how could they be the creators of the original biocylons? If the seven aren't the original biocylons, who is?

    Didn't Baltar alter the test to stop producing positive results altogether after the confrontation with Sharon?
