  1. That trailer looked interesting enough to give it a try but I still have a problem with it looking so modern. The original Star Wars managed to look completely different from modern architecture(*) at the time (while heavily borrowing early times) - this one still has the modern suburban look with modern looking cars (that require modern looking roads even though they don't touch the ground) but the real kicker is the guy's glasses that look like they came right from Amazon. (*) - some of this may have been luck. Luke's hat in deleted scenes looked like it came from a catalog and his female friend on Tatooine had an outfit that didn't quite look as foreign as the other outfits did.
  2. Too young! The wife and I dedicate this Halloween's Young Frankenstein viewing to Terri.
  3. I'm thinking this one is going to be so cheap (compared to a starship based series) that they renewed it to have something to show next year. I still remember the Starfleet Academy episode of Next Generation where they added a stupid sound effect when someone opened an obviously normal 20th century door...
  4. I wonder how many little old ladies they tried to con...
  5. Paramount would love that, Springtime for Hitler being an unexpected smash hit... But I really don't see that fate for THIS show.
  6. Love Wallace and Gromit so I'm in. Not a fan of Shawn the Sheep though.
  7. Somebody took the original quote for a review of ST V and made it "why are they putting shackles in theaters?" I got a kick out of that review.
  8. People already have no need to do a lot of dangerous jobs. The only reason they are still doing them are cost effectiveness (though even that is evened out by lack of need for insuring a human life) and not wanting to fight with the unions for such lines of work (yet) since the other jobs covered by unions still need humans. Humanoid bots are not even required for most of them - teleoperated modifications of existing designs would work fine.
  9. Lots of questions (*) for that Tesla Bot but it is an incredible advancement. The days when people have to do dangerous jobs are near an end, at the least through teleoperation of humanoid robots. A couple decades away at most. We still may have people doing them for cost reasons still though. (*) How long does it have power? How strong is it? How nimble? What kind of dexterity?
  10. It is a possible step towards replacement fingers for those that have lost fingers or an entire hand.
  11. Me too, he did great in that role.
  12. There was a time, not that long ago, when this was a joke from MST3K "Well, no, it's just that I've never heard of an action sequence in a Christmas carol before."
  13. "Already An Idea" is a long long long long long... way away from a third movie being reality. That is not even a napkin plot sketch.
