Only partially correct, MUCH of star trek’s premise was bland, and that is why Nicholas Meyer’s trek was the best of the series, he had direct conflicts with Gene Roddenberry over the nature of humanity and their perfectibility.

Star Trek VI was BETTER than any star wars movie that has ever been made. And oh by the way, the greatest sci fi tv episode occurred on star trek DS9, it was called “In the Pale Moonlight”
other series were better over all than star treks, but that episode was the single finest sci fi tv episode of ALL TIME !!!!!!!!!! Even with Avery’s bad acting.

@ The comparative hollowness of Kirks Death vs Spocks death, here are some interesting comments by Nicholas Meyer.
To Meyer and the crew of the set, the death was not a trick to be overturned, it was a real thing. It carried more weight then because it was designed to be final (and when they tried to undue that Meyer took a pass since he did not want to engage in that sort of resurrection story arc).

League of Legends
New characters added every 2-4 weeks, so the game never gets stale. Also, even if you settle on a few characters, the enemy composition is so varied due to the number of characters it does not give the feeling of playing the same thing over and over.

like many of these ideas, they work much better for gay guys than straight guys because of the more frigid preferences of women.

Trine 2 is the prettiest game of all time. Just 2d but the backdrops and artistry and lighting use and color is the most dazzling thing that has ever graced a game.

It’s not just the smashing, development is important, but let’s not pretend that development alone is what people are after in an iron man movie. If they dropped the suits entirely and kept the same or better story arc in the movie, we would all be disappointed because part of the draw of these movies is the escapist over the top qualities of powerful characters.
You can see good stories all the time, but something we want more of an escape, and that is what these comic characters and their powers afford. If all you want is character development, why even bother with iron man?

The way this title cut off at the main screen reminded me of that dopey Barbara Walters question.
“What Kind of Tree (would you be)???”

I thought that is just where HTC placed their power buttons most of the time. If so, then the ir placement was incidental to the power button placement. I do agree though that the power button would be better on the side, that is one functional thing samsung got right before many others.

I don’t see what the problem with the ir blaster being inside the power button is.

I’m excited to see it. It can’t possibly be a worse adaptation of a book then world war z (just from the rocket propelled zombies you know that thing has nothing to do with the books). Also, I really enjoyed the book, especially the whole concept of kids engineered to be brilliant and how it all plays out in their interactions. Will that dynamic show up in the movie? I hope so.

Paul’s bikes keep getting destroyed or stolen, ergo his next bike needs to be made out of adamantium and have gps trackers placed inside of it.

I went with the silver ONE because it’s more distinctive looking, but the black looks good as well.

I went to a hindu temple for a comparative religion class once and it was pretty exotic. The speaker asked in English if anyone wanted him to speak in English instead of Hindi but my partner and I did not say anything as we just wanted to observe the rituals and surroundings. The Hindu Pantheon is like looking at a more off the wall greek pantheon. Makes christianity and islam and buddhism and judaism seem so dull by comparison.

Iron man is the draw, not tony stark, do you see us watching movies about Forges machines? He’s a better mechanic, Do you see us watching movies about brainiac or some other ultra smart being?
Go back to the avengers. What made the hulk work so well there? The actors portrayal? Was THAT your favorite moment? Or was it when he smashed things in key places?
I want more thoughtful plots and characterizations in my star trek movies, not in freaking iron man.
