@25 Ethyl,
I know. I am sorry for breaking the rules!

@27 Fnarf,
My father last year went on a scotch tasting tour in Scotland. At the Glenfiddich distillery he was served a scotch with ice.

Thank you EthylCannes. I consider myself a pretty devout Scotch drinker and I love it in all manner of ways. I am annoyed by some idiot trying to spout to me that there is only "one way" to properly enjoy it.
Do I like it neat? Yes.
Do I like it with a dash of water? Yes.
Do I like it with ice? Yes.

It all depends on my mood and the scotch. There is nothing wrong to enjoying a drink the way you want to.

I think the real travesty in this is that they are charging $7.00 for one of those things.

Yah, MegaMAN shouldn't be on there either. Guy in robotic suit doesn't equate Robot to me.

By that thinking the Dalek shouldn't be on there either.

But cool shirt. Totally must own.

baltimoregal and jmatthew3, while Johnny Johnson may have had the proof about Jimmy James, we all know Adam West is the REAL DB Keebler.

Cowicide, you are correct. Vangelis did do the music for "The Bounty"

@Knife Knut

Well, I have been making custom cutting boards like this for years with various pieces of walnut and maple and have never had any complaints of warping or breaking.

Kiernan, how about we ask the Japanese and not an antiquated racial slur instead to check it out?

David B,

How exactly is a Blue Ray players ability to upscale a normal DVD less superior than an HD DVD player?

No downloadable update? Depends on the player.

PIP? Gimmick. Not that big of a deal.

Sony's propietary? You do know that Sony is only one member of the BDA right?

Screw Blue Ray all you want. Have fun wasting time and bandwidth on HD downloads.

stuiethegod, you can use these things for painting much more than just doors.

Just an FYI, this is not the first time this video has been used like this. First time I saw it was re-subtitled showing Hitler losing his XBOX live account for having a modded xbox. Equally hilarious.

I just wonder what the world would have become if Octopi had a longer life span.

That walmart.com page also lists a Katamari game for the Wii. I thought Konami wasn't doing one. Anyone have more info on that?

Dave X, even if the strike is solved today with a happy agreement for the writers, you can be guaranteed at this point we wont be getting all of Season 4 of BSG this year.

We are slated to get the first half starting at the end of March. Writing (let alone the production and post work on the rest of the episodes) is not done yet for everthing. Pretty much you can expect to see the end of Galactica in 2009.

As an avid scotch drinker and connoisseur, this is frivolous IMO.

technically, Kirk did not have EVERY woman on this list.

2.5 years later? Man, that stuff is going to be dried out.

I will second the fridge usage. Freezer for 30+ minutes can work ok for the impatient types.

Got you one better. Learned this from Alton Brown.

1 brown paper lunch sack
1/3 cup of corn
2 staples

Place corn in bag. Fold over top of bag twice 1/4 inch thick. Staple* bag shut at ends.

Microwave for 2+ minutes (my unit take 2:07 to pop properly.)

Remove from bag, apply seasoning. Enjoy.

*Now you might be saying, "Staples? Isn't that metal in a microwave?" Sure, but the metal is small enough that nothing bad can happen. Although in a pinch i've been known to do the cut/fold in opposite direction method instead of staples and it works fine.

In fact, here is the direct link to it

actually, if you poke around his page a bit... he did make the space battleship one as well.

MXHABLA,

The JSDF is more than just an army-like corps for emergency deployment and humanitarian support

Macisaguy, your world need not crumble.

Star Trek uses PHOTON torpedoes.

Star Ware uses PROTON torpedoes.

whatifhesgotapointedstick, you don't actually pay for the ondemand features of netflix. You pay for the rental of physical discs. The streaming of films is just an added perk to your membership.

Subspace,

I would say that rotoscoping worked pretty darn well in Renaissance. But I will have to agree on Cameron, he lost his edge along time ago.

iain010100,

What about Tangerine Dream?

Mikelotus, I suggest you read the book that I and White Noise suggested. You might just be actually suprised about the creation of the voice over track. It existed far before the work print and your supposed "forced by the studio" falsehood.

You will get no argument from me on the ending (I too prefer the voice over) but will stand by my feeling that Deckard needs to be human and not a replicant but question his own existence through the film. And I never said it was about the nature of reality. The real and isnt I was referring to was the replicant/human idea.

I am going to have to disagree with your Buddy66. Making Deckard a replicant destroys the message of the film IMO. Leaving it ambiguous is the way it should be. Deckard has to figure out for himself what is real and what isn't.

supposedly Dculberson, this is the final FINAL never again touch it cut. Ridley is supposedly fully happy with this one (seeing is he didn't actually make the 92 Directors Cut I guess this one is his real DC)

Oh Ridley, will you ever stop contradicting the truth?

For those interested about all of the torrid details about the making of the film, I highly recommend reading "Future Noir" by Paul M. Sammon for a in depth look at everything that went on (and an official word on the whole is Deckard a replicant or not debate)

@#1-Phasor3000, at least in this upcoming release of Blade Runner we are getting ALL versions of the film released to us and not just a revised view that tarnishes an original classic.
