Yeah, but Trey liked it
I had not made it past the Prequel series, and am glad to get back in to it. Man, the last panel in this one: http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0699.html
Well, Mr Longpre, I don't know about you, but my name's freely available in my signature
Foiled again!
(I really had no other reply to that)
Why is this thread turning in to a Gamer's Anonymous session?
This is why I no longer spend money on videos...it goes too freaking fast!
Airwolf!
Used to watch that when I was younger.
I did see this on home video when I was younger, and did not enjoy it. I hardly remember it, but this was a fun trip for me. Also, probably one of the more random commentaries
On the topic of random acronyms, Calvin and Hobbes had one
Oh, hai Teague. Didn't see you there
Remember Iron Fist of the Obsidian Sith? We don't need another repeat
Boter,
Thanks for the tip. Will have to add that to the read list...which is getting too long, by the way
Also, found an article that I was thinking of that deals with some world building, and different ideas for orbits. It might be repetitive of what Shadow Duelist said, but I do hope it helps.

Edit: Warning, the video in that article is math and equation heavy. Not sure if it will be helpful or not.
I have not read up on it in a while. Thanks for the bump, Tom!
*prepares to kill a day catching up*
Yeah. I love world building (and is one of my current projects for my own writing).
But, to echo what has been said, characters matter more. The details of the mechanics of the planet are important to the author but not always to the audience. Please don't misunderstand me. I like that you are building your world on physics and that you want that to be realistic (relatively speaking). I think that will give you great internal consistency for your world and story.
But, the characters are what draw people in. The essence of Speculative Fiction (note: not science fiction) is the idea of how characters react to a given situation.
tl:dr Love the world building, and happy to help. Make sure characters get the same love
I know this is from Cracked but this article relates some of Snipes behavior (#4 in the list): http://www.cracked.com/article_20487_th … ovies.html
I need to listen to the commentaries for the film but I just find the whole production of Blade interesting.
I think Blade 2 is great, aside from some minor detail points. The opening scene is incredibly dark and creepy, but in a good way (and I rarely say that). I think the original is still quite interesting, both from a comic book point of view, and a world building point of view. While 2 is arguably the stronger outing, 1 is more interesting to me from a production point of view. 3 is just a trip in to the craziness of Wesley Snipes.
Not sure if this will help or not but one of my new favorite sites is scifiideas.com. It has a lot of handy articles from authors and other people in various fields related to aliens, world building and the like. The world building part might be handy for you: http://www.scifiideas.com/category/worldbuilding/. I thought there was an article about gas giants but I could not find it right off.
I'll keep my eyes out though
Well, I recently listen to Grab Bag 6: The Bag that never stops grabbing, and heard that Blade 2 and 3 are strong contenders for our panelists to watch.
I know Alex wanted in on it, but I would love Eddie's take as well. I realize there are three films, so I would settle for 2 or 3-Trey seemed to really like 3.
Guardians of the Galaxy:
Finally got to see this film, and enjoyed most of it. I think I would have liked it more I had not known about Thanos and the Other from Avengers. Kind of pulled me out of the movie for a beat, but got back in to it pretty easily.
Loved the performances and Chris Pratt definitely has the Han Solo/Mal Reynolds/Jack Sparrow, done on his luck rouge character down. Had little tougher time with Bautista but it smoothed out by the end.
The world is probably the best part, and really enjoyed the different aspects of it, even as a redo of many familiar sci-fi trope. GotG has a charm and humor about it that takes it all in great stride, never super serious, but still built well enough for me to have an interest and a stake in the outcome.
It feels a little more multi-layered, partially due to the Marvel Universe build, and partially due to the fact that it does dump you in the middle of galactic goings-on, and doesn't hold your hand too much.
Lee Pace should be in everything.
9/10
Just watched "Wreck-It Ralph" with my kids and was pleasantly surprised. A lot of fun in-jokes to the video game world, as well as a more fun take on the Tron-esque type world.
Also, the ending is a bit of a tear jerker, kind of in a Monsters Inc. way.

Heck, I still mishear Limp Dick Christmas light as electric Christmas lights.
It still works in my head (don't judge me!)
Grabby Grab McGraberson and the House of Pain....
it's a work in progress.
I'm in Fluhrida.
Why?
I actually watched PA 3 regularly, even when I was younger.
As for ratings, I think Eddie is right about knowing your kids. I am still cautious about things with my two kids, but they have seen some snippets of the Hobbit, and are aware that it is "pretend." My 5 year old is rather precocious in some ways and really can inform me of her feelings about things. I enjoy hearing her thoughts on different topics some times too (especially her thoughts on the sequel for Frozen ).
Should have the final recording tonight. I acquired a better mic which allows for better audio control.

A lot of movies from the '80s (like Police Academy, which I just watched) would be great fun for kids if they weren't filled with F-bombs and a couple of gratuitous nude scenes that were sometimes put in just to UP the rating because R-rated movies were more popular at the time.
Ohhh! Yes!
I agree with this sentiment. This should be a thing
Edit: I happen to be watching "The Pacifier" and this story time seemed somewhat on topic:
An ellipsis is a set of three periods ( . . . ) indicating an omission. Each period should have a single space on either side, except when adjacent to a quotation mark, in which case there should be no space.
The period is perhaps the easiest punctuation mark to master. It ends a sentence. Difficulty generally arises only when the period is used with other punctuation marks.

Also, English is hard
Edit: Also, the quest for the four dot ellipsis
