This weeks UK TV Listings Mag had as it's front cover a poster containing the baddies from EVERY SINGLE FORTHCOMING EP for the remainder of this season 
, and iiuc inside contained a detailed description of each of these eps - I say IIUC cos I'm in the "spoiler avoidance" camp so skipped all those pages. I really don't know why anyone would want such spoilers. 
- note to self: remember that at the end of each ep there's a spoiler filled trailer to the next one.
Christ, we suck. Thermometer? REALLY? Let's get it together, people!
Was going to pose this as a question: is it used to keep liquid cold, like a thermos, but answer#11 says it only has a single purpose and thermos's keep things both cold AND hot, which is two, right ?! - so I'm NOT going to waste the final question. 
Is it an object used to measure temperatures - a thermometer ?
[edit] darn it.
Do you use it to blend, mash and/or cut things up - like a blender ? (that's a single question, right?!)
Nope, watched the unrated cut, there's basically nothing added back in.
Darn it. I guess they just chose not to go the Salt route and bring out an unrated version worthy of that 2nd dipping. 
I think it's pretty weak. The pg-13 really cripples it, there's nothing memorable about it in terms of action. You'd think an action movie on a space station would be awesome, but they don't do a lot with it.
You do know about the unrated version, right ?! 
- maybe for that version they reinserted all the awesome.
[edit] Just checked the list and it is already on there... and if memory now serves me right it was my suggestion a big while back that got it on the list in the first place... 
Doesn't work for Windows XP computer, but I'm sure, if it did, that I'da beaten your score outta the water. 
The one I've been looking forward to the longest is G.I.Joe 2 because Ninja Mountaineers look freakin awesome.
Also (trimming Dorkman's list) Warm Bodies, A Good Day to Die Hard, The Evil Dead, Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Man of Steel, World War Z, Kick-Ass 2, Lone Ranger, Pacific Rim, The Wolverine, 300: Rise of an Empire, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Riddick,
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Thor: The Dark Worlds, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
oh yes, and Reds 2.
I knew I didn't know much about movies, but now I see I know even less. - btw: looking down that link I'm kinda shocked about the Die Hard 2 figures cos I was so certain it was generally felt to be a pale imitation of the first and thus did badly at the box office, but instead it blew the original away.
I get what you are saying but doesn't matter if it was a 15 or an 18, it would be rated R in the US anyway and I doubt it would be the same film if it was PG-13 (12a or sometimes 15, depends)
iirc wasn't there a big hoohar in the UK when the last Die Hard came out and people saw it was 15 rather than 18. The hoohar being from people thinking the rating reduction meant a lessening of the De Hard violence they craved. But rather than hurt the movie, it went on to make more than the previous ones. So going 15 (movie ratings wise) was the right way to go. Though, if it was still an R in America (I should google that) then maybe things weren't that simple.
As to Ma-Ma and her ''poorly conceived switch thingie", maybe she had a more thought-out version but it clashed with her outfit ?!
Things I noted down whilst listening to your commentary
Dredd's expression - in the comics he wears shoes that are one-size too small, not sure why though.
The elevator inconsistency thing - looking back it appears that her finger was on the trigger and he puts his hand over the top of her hand so would be able to activate the gun by pressing down on her finger - kinda like someone unworthy picking up Thor's hammer by picking up Thor whilst he is holding the hammer (ish)
The sentence fitting the crime thing - one of the comic stories is set at a blood donation center, man is scared of needles, runs away, steals a blood transportation van (full of blood) to aid his escape, van crashes and blood is ruined. Dredd sentences him to the IsoCubes where he must remain until he has repaid the blood, and at 1 pint a day (or maybe a week) that will be quite a long time (it was a big van).
What spoilt the movie for me was, having seen The Raid some months before, I was waiting for the time when Dredd dropped his gun, or run out of bullets, and had to go up against a room of baddies armed only with his two fists and night stick, so we could have seen just how tough and bassass he is - but it never happened.
The thing I don't get is, if they needed it to make $50 million in the USA for them to get their sequel (which would have deatl with the corruption in the force and Dredd venturing into the Cursed Earth), and I know hindsight is 20-20, but why take a character who is pretty much unknown there and saddle the movie with the more expensive 3D ticket price and 18 certificate ? If they'd ditched the 3D and gone for a 15 (they have 15 in USA, right ?!) wouldn't that have widened their possible audience by being more enticing - no being asked to pay extra for the glasses to see something you know barely little about. Then they could have brought out an unrated version for the DVD/BlueRay market. (appeaseing all the 2000AD fans up in arms about the 15 certificate)
6. This is embarrassing, but true. Just hours after I bought the sixth Harry Potter book, I dropped it on the ground, and in picking it up my eye happened to fall on a sentence talking about a certain character's funeral. That was not my finest hour.
I'd just returned from buying my copy at the 12am early opening at the local store, popped onto a Harry Pottery forum to post a "hey guy, just got the book, will be avoiding this place until I'm done read" message, first thing I saw when opening up the forum was about 64 messages with "Dumbledore Dies" as the message header. A little bit of magic died that day . Spoilt the whole book (about 800 pages worth), and spoilt the rest of the series.
Most memorable: The Raid (Redemption) - made watching Dredd 3D less fun
Most memorable bit: The Hulk taking out one of those dragon beasties with a single punch
Most disappointing: The Dark Knight Rises - After the greatness that was The Dark Knight I wanted to love it but Bane sounding like Yoda and a whole bunch of other stupid stuff made that impossible.
This may be a silly question, but
Was very interested in the bit surrounding why Marvel initially licensed out various characters.
RE: they keep the license so long as they make a movie every X amount of years thing - is there any minimum requirements placed on what constitutes a film ? - would a studio be able to say "Marvel/Disney, give us millions otherwise we'll just make a 5min youtube short film every year and tie up your beloved character 
" ?
^according to the tv ad, the Prometheus DVD comes with (1) a whole new opening and (2) a whole new ending - maybe this'll be enough to fix it, though (after reading many comments on the film) methinks a (3) whole new middle bit too would be required,
I was going to put
Though, maybe, just maybe, when Amy turned up in the past, and they had a little chat, they decided to leave things be and enjoy their life together.
My counter question would be does more stupid make stupid better?
No, but: finding a £50 note under a car ($100 (ish)) could make you feel less agrieved about the trip + fall + skimmed knee that got you into a position from which you spotted it.
You mean the way the rest of the prequel trilogy totally redeemed Phantom Menace? Ya, I'm not holding my breath (although they're dumping Lindelof from the sequel, so maybe they realized how much he fucked up and will get someone to fix it)
I'm thinking back to when Menace came out and the big(?) hoo-har made about (iirc) why C3P0 didn't recognise Luke's home planet (when he arrived there in p4) since he went there in this movie (p1). People went on+on about the inconsistency and how this showed/proved .... something or other (can't remember what). But in p3, a simple memory wipe showed all the hoo-harers had jumped the gun with their hoo-hariness. -> So I'm wondering if all the ugness felt towards Prometheus might just go/disappear when parts 2+3 have come out and the complete story is told.
[edit] thanx for all the clarifications below and @Lamer: it wouldn't surprise me
With Prometheus being the first movie in a trilogy (according to a 1min google) could the hate be premature if/when the following parts turn all the into ?
Is there any Cronenberg worth DiFing?
Jason X ?!
There are dark round marks and lines on it like wood, with one line going all the way across to suggest a panel of wood.....
My bad, I guess having the prog recorded so I could freeze frame and zoom did give me an unfair advantage. 
A Town Called Mercy (as ~requested)
(looks more deserty than woody to me)
