  1. I just bought tickets for 12:50 pm 3D showing on December 18th. The shows are selling out already. The 7 pm showing for Digital non-3d and for 3D XD are already sold out for that day.
  2. Tickets Pre-Sale won't start until tonight when the First Full Trailer premieres at half time during Monday Night Football:
  3. I guess you just can't beat a bunch of cheaters no matter what tricks you try: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000560754/article/colts-attempt-bizarre-special-teams-play-and-fail
  4. Another Death Star? You'd think the Empire would had learnt by now the Death Star is a waste of $ and resources and personnel that can be destroyed in a parsec. How many people does it take to fully crew a Death Star? 10,000? 25,000? I would think after the loss of two already, most Imperial officers and storm troopers and other personnel would rather be on a Star Destroyer.
  5. OMG! I think I've just died and went to heaven! Ever since I've saw the teaser trailer, I've been asking this question: Is that girl Leia and Han's daughter?
  6. I want one! How much? https://www.inverse.com/article/6991-all-it-takes-to-build-thor-s-mj%C3%B6lnir-in-real-life-is-a-fingerprint-scanner-and-electromagnetism http://toyland.gizmodo.com/guy-builds-an-electromagnetic-thor-mjolnir-hammer-only-1736442960 A clever engineer used science to create a working version of Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, that only he can lift by using electromagnets, an Arduino processor and fingerprint scanners. Arthur C. Clarke once said that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Perhaps that's how Thor's hammer seems to many who've read about it in Marvel Comics or seen it in The Avengers and Thor films: it's a magical object that only Thor can wield. However, Thor comes from an advanced race of people that live on a planet called Asgard. It's likely that Asgardians have this kind of superior technology, including the concepts that gives the hammer, also known as Mjölnir, its unique properties. An engineer on Earth, Allen Pan, just figured out how to create a real version of Mjölnir that works: by using electromagnetics and fingerprint scanning, he created a working version of Thor's hammer that allows only him to pick it up. To keep the hammer from being easily moved, Pan put microwave oven transformer electromagnets inside its head. This kind of electromagnet creates a magnetic field via electricity, which holds the hammer firmly in place when set upon a metal surface. This makes the hammer seem heavier than it really is when anyone tries to move it and makes it immovable. The hammer's handle has a touch sensor connected to an Arduino Pro Mini and a solid state relay: this acts as a switch that turns on the electromagnets in the hammer's head when anyone touches the handle. However, there's an exception: Pan can move the hammer because there's also a fingerprint sensor embedded into the handle: the hammer's programming recognizes Pan as "the worthy" when he touches it, which turns off the electromagnets, allowing only him to pick it up. So, it may seem like magic, but it's just really technology. In a YouTube video, Pan set his version of Mjölnir on a metal manhole cover and challenged innocent passersby to attempt to lift it. The results are pretty funny (almost as funny as when the Avengers tried the same thing). Of course, Pan's version of Thor's hammer can't do a lot of things that it does in the comics: it definitely doesn't come flying through the air when summoned and it can't destroy mountains (although it could probably crush some heads). Whatever the case, though, Pan managed to take inspiration from comic books and movies and create something that could eventually lead to better technology for preventing certain kinds of theft. That would even impress Tony Stark.
  7. How are the Cincinnati Bengals 4-0?
  8. I guess I made this one too hard and they gave up.
  9. Max Spielberg is directing it. He is Steven Spielberg's son! http://backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Jaws_19 I didn't know Steven Spielberg had a son who has been working in movies. Can the world handle 2 Spielberg directors? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0818582
  10. As the day Marty McFly traveled in his DeLorean from 1985 to 2015 in “Back to the Future II” draws near, Universal Pictures continues to tease the film’s futuristic setting. The studio released a trailer for “Jaws 19,” a movie that was playing in theaters when Marty arrived in Hill Valley on Oct. 21, 2015. Even in the mid 1980s, the film was clearly making a jab at the amount of sequels popular movies inspire and the trailer continues the joke, showing how much more absurd the franchise became with each installment. The “Jaws” trailer isn’t the only way Universal is celebrating the 30th anniversary of “Back to the Future.” They’ve also released a special 30th anniversary Blu-ray of the trilogy — complete with a short film featuring Christopher Lloyd reprising his role as Doc Brown — and made the movies available to stream for free on Amazon Prime in the month of October. Pepsi is also releasing Pepsi Perfect, which was the drink of choice in the utopian pre-“Biff got the Almanac” future Marty visited. From a cyber Jaws attack in “Jaws 7” to the unforgettable battle with Russian shark Ivan Sharkovski in “Jaws 15,” it’s clear the future Marty traveled to had some of the best pics cinema had to offer. What movie goers are saying about the previous 18 Jaws films!
  11. Self/less (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2140379/ A nearly 2-hours long exercise in banale futility, recycled plots and film cliches. Also Ryan Reynolds is totally miscast. He has the same dumb clueless expression on his face even when someone is pointing a gun at him or shooting at him. The main actress is also horrible as if she was plucked directly out of a cheesy Telemundo soap opera. HECK! The 8 years old little girl that played the daughter did a better acting job than any of the adult actors and actresses in the entire film. The premise was interesting but the director and screenwriters really had no idea what to do with it and how to execute it brilliantly. It's like when you were in school and you were asked to write a paper about what you did on your Summer vacation and you wrote a brilliant title to start your manuscript and then your mind went blank. You'd ended up sitting there for hours just staring at the white sheet of paper with just a title on it with no idea how to start it and what to write as your opening sentence. Well this movie is like that! If you value your time, stay away from this film! 1/5
  12. Or Red or Brown or Black or Grizzly. That annoying woman said she had to swim back because her kayak was damaged. Hello? She had a cell phone! Why didn't she call the park Rangers to come get her?
  13. We’re going to bet that Mary never makes the following mistakes again. —Never thank a bear for not eating your kayak, or the bear will eat your kayak. —Never pepper spray the bear when your kayak is so close. —Don’t try to reason with a bear. Bears don’t listen to reason. Oh My God. What a whiny woman!! I just wanted the bear to leave the kayak and eat her dumb butt. Don't talk to wild animals like they are a 3 years old. I love all these idiots that act like the world is ending, yet can't put their damn phones down and stop filming. This woman sounds like she wanted her video to go viral the entire time. If she has a significant other, I imagine that person is deaf. Ever since this video was posted on YouTube and went viral, Someone made a song! https://soundcloud.com/squachek/youre-breaking-my-kayak
  14. Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In America (1984) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087843/ I've seen this movie before a long time ago on VHS but that was the stupid excised 139 version for American audience - cut back from the original Italian 229 min theatrical release. The version I watched tonight is the full 251 min film originally envisioned by director Sergio Leone in 1983, which was recreated in 2011 using previously cut scenes. It was shown at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and subsequently released in September 2014 by Warner Bros on a special 2-Disc Blu-Ray set. Now that I've seen this full version, the story makes more sense and the movie itself is in turn sadder and at the same time more powerful than ever before. It's very unfortunate this film did not receive the full version release in America in 1984 which caused it to blasted by the critics and shunned at the box office. Otherwise, it may had very likely received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Art Direction, Best Photography and Best Musical Score. This was Sergio Leone's final film in an illustrious 20 year career that begin with the Spaghetti Westerns which elevated Clint Eastwood to an International Superstar. Damn the studios and the American censors for disrespecting him by cutting his original cut of this film to pieces. 5/5
  15. The seafood market clerk tells me each 4-legs cluster is about 3 lbs.+ So someone will pay over $105 to get maybe not even 8 oz of actual meat out of it! It's even more expensive than live Maine lobster or Filet Mignon!!
  16. Happy Birthday, Sir Tom! I got you a special cake!
  17. Guested Account replied to Purple's topic in Off Topic
    Idiot!
  18. Hi Morphie! 8 out of 9. Excellent! #13 is a boxing movie but a bit older like a different decade.
  19. Yeah... that's what several people at my video stores been telling me too. Thanks. I will pass. Save me 2 hours of pain and suffering.
  20. Congrats to the Panthers. So glad Dallas lost! LOL!
  21. The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043456 We humans are doomed aren't we? We are either going to cause our own extinction by lobbing nuclear weapons at one another or we are going to p o some peaceful alien race that visits Earth by shooting first and asking question later causing them to 'death star' planet Earth. 4.5/5 (maybe some day I will break down and watch the Keanu Reeves remake but I doubt I will anytime soon)
