Or whatever, it's the spirit that counts not the denomination.
Apple are assholes, not cowards. They probably didn't approve the movie because something is the wrong color, or because it competes with their own movie, or because it has product-placement ads but Sony hasn't yet agreed to give Apple 30% of the ad revenue.
I have the attention span of a housefly. I had heard and already forgotten about two of them.
Jackie Chan is so many forms of awesome that it's not funny. (Well, no, actually.. he's funny too.) And you have provided Yet Another in the long list of ways he is awesome: as an example for why video fidelity is a good thing rather than a bad thing. (Which you'd think would be obvious, but some people don't get it. Until you mention Jackie Chan.)
(I know, but whenever I see 'black and white' in a ST context, I reflexively go to Frank Gorshin.)
Historically, that is correct, but the term is still in use, and its meaning has shifted. To whit (sp?):
"B movie noun
: a movie that costs little money to make and that is usually not considered to be very good"
He's probably one of those stupid hackers that will be so scared about dropping the soap that he refuses to take the shower.
C'mon, it's just as likely that he's too fat to bend down that far if he drops the soap.
Maybe call the timelines with names appropriate for them, or at least non-racist terms. I'd hate for them to settle on something as stupid as "Star Trek White" and "Star Trek Black".
Wait, are you asking for a grim and gritty reboot of "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"?
Wesley Crusher was the best character ever seen on television.
I thought you usually used your "CleverNickName" account?
Who are the others this time around?
And how is Keith Richards still alive again? Pre-embalming?
There is a difference though, the 24fps frames makes up for the low frame rate with motion blur. If the new digital HFR doesn't have that it will always feel like you're watching a baseball game instead of a swordfight.
Wait, am I watching the sword fight live, or recorded on obsolete media? And does the same go for the baseball game?
You inadvertently put your finger on the truth: that a sword fight should look like a baseball game.
"I wish to sue Thomas Paine for the damage he has done to the British people." -- Horace Edwards, if he'd lived in the 1770s.
Can you name the brilliant invention, that was made to solve the problem of people like Horace Edwards? It was called America! Fuck yeah!
there never were natives in England.
Everyone who can trace their ancestry back far enough will find Eastern European roots.
(I only have to go back to 1822 and I'm looking at Polack, French, Spanish, German, Greek, black West African and Scandinavian).
Don't be a shithead. Go back far enough, and only Africa has 'natives'.
Darn, another good explanation I learned years ago now smashed.
However that explanation is odd. Australia also had conscription for the Viet Nam war. My dad wasn't subject to it because he worked for the PMG (and had two small kids). Wouldn't Canada have made more sense?
...whereas it deported its religious nutcases to North America.
If only it were true. Australia is where the nutcases go when they consider the US intolerant. Case in point: New York-born Mel Gibson, whose nutjob dad brought his brood to Australia looking for the "freedom" to practice his (even more) loony brand of christianity...
Software production is assumed to be a line function, but it is run like a staff function. -- Paul Licker
