    TMP is a great film, blew my mind on so many levels when I saw it in the theater as a young boy. For Star Trek to be great again the producers should make revisit the discovery aspect of the series, pun intended. I'm tired of the revenge storylines, that got tired after First Contact, which is still a great film btw. Give me something I've never seen before in a Star Trek film!

    Doesn't seem like a good outcome will happen. Great musician that will be missed.

    Watched the first episode and agree it's too SJW. The Klingons were the only characters producing testosterone.

    Whoa, the reviews are increasing my expectations!!

    I was a subscriber for over ten years till the magazine went full hipster and ended nudity. Those issues were unbearable to read. Even though Playboy brought back nudity it was too late for me. On a side note my ex-wife posed for Playboy back in 2001 for their college coverage.

    Llooks cool and more like the new rebooted game series which I really enjoyed playing.

    Those Jeff Goldblum scenes are from Earth Girls Are Easy, fun movie from the 1980s.

    I hadn't heard anything interesting from Giacchino since LOST. Probably not his fault as the studios probably aren't allowing him to create any music that is too original out of fear it doesn't fit the Star Wars theme. That being said, I hadn't bought any Star Wars soundtracks since ROTS.

    Oddly the actors in ALIEN are dying at the same frequency as their characters in the film so far. First, John Hurt and now Harry Dean Stanton. Tom Skerritt next?

    I'm going to HK only, not PRC. I work for a HK based ISP so that I was I'm going there for certification training, ugh. I say ugh because it looks like I may not have any real downtime to check out the city while I'm there. I will eat well on the company's dime, that's for sure!!

    Star Wars + Christmas = TOY$!$!

    Last time my company sent me on a business trip was in 2011 and my IT department loaned me a old laptop with a Celeron processor. It was actually heavier than my Predator 15 and was so weak it could barely run Firefox, not an exaggeration. I didn't want to deal with that crap again. The Predator 15 has weight but it cools really well. I think that's the trade-off when it comes to weight vs heat in buying a gaming laptop.

    JJ Abrams is the Starbucks of directors, competent but zero originality.

    My company is sending me to Hong Kong this month and I didn't want to deal with a crappy company laptop that they would loan me so I bought a Acer Predator 15. It's slightly heavy but it has amazing specs, mainly the 1060 GTX w/G-Sync.

    Looks great. Won't have to time to see it in a theater though.

    Was at Target yesterday and they are going full Star Wars with their promotions for the film with signs, cardboard characters and new toys.

    Weird and funny at the same time. https://www.yahoo.com/news/game-thrones-bronn-cersei-will-never-share-scene-121647204.html

    I finally watched the season finale on my DVR last night but it was kinda ruined by my idiot friends on Facebook plus Youtube suggested videos too. He is conflicted because I suspect he made a deal with Cersei.

    It's called suspension of disbelief

    This is the best television series ever.

    I upgraded my 7 year old Samsung LED monitor to a Acer XB252Q monitor with a 240hz fresh rate. They were going for $100 off at my local Microcenter so I jumped on that deal. The higher refresh rate is no gimmick, makes graphics so smooth. On a side note I had to exchange the monitor because the first one had dead pixels. Brick and mortar stores still have their uses https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/predator-model/UM.KX2AA.001

    Jerry Lewis is what I grew up with. RIP.

    RIP Sonny Landham. He was 'Billy' in the first Predator. He actually wanted to be a state governor too! http://variety.com/2017/film/news/sonny-landham-dies-dead-predator-1202533278/
