Makes me wonder who's messing with the Emperor there. Looks like he's wearing a green cloak, which rules out Vader, but the gloved hand kinda rules out your typical Jedi.

I'm going to try and go in completely cold on this one. Don't know anything about it and going to keep it that way!
In fact, generally, I'm trying to avoid trailers these days - they give away way too much.
Lipstick's a solid at room temperature so it can't be that.
Ok, is it a type of cream?
Sounds like a cream to me, hmmm... but what type I wonder.
Sun cream?
I would say it's ultimately about what sort of imagery you would like to record (e.g. vintage glass has an asthetic appeal of its own so you may want backwards compatability), how much function you want the lens to have (some adaptors may not give you all the auto features), how much you're willing to spend (some mounts may limit your buying options more than others), and how often you are willing to change lens 'sets' (is there any point in getting lenses for a mount that you know you'll change anyway?).
I have a Canon 550d/Rebel T2i, and this allows me a fair amount of versatility in lens choices. I have the standard modern zoom lens and Canon's own modern 50mm MkII, both of these hardly used as neither lens appeals that much to me. The 18-55mm zoom has a slightly greenish quality to it and the 50 just feels like cheap plastic (the MkI version is better but much harder to find now). I'm then able to plug in directly to this same mount EF-S mount an old crappy Sigma zoom lens, and then I have two adaptors - one for Nikon lenses (both ones that I have are from the 70-80s and are entirely manual, which is what I personally like and are my favourites) and one that mounts both a vintage Practika lens and a post-war Soviet-made lens, a 58mm which is probably my favourite of the lot.
So as you can see, I own 4 lenses that are several decades old and yet because they're all manual primes I don't ever lose anything by mounting them on this relatively new Canon body. I also like to be as hands on as possible when photographing/filming so the lack of whizz bang features don't bother me. The modern glass, my Canon lenses, do not have any manual aperture controls so if I were to mount these on a new system in the future which doesn't follow the 'rules' of the EF-S mount, their function could be greatly limited. Conversely, there'll pretty much always be a way to mount vintage lenses.
On the other side, for me, I just love the look and feel of the old glass. The fact that they're also cheap as chips is a bonus. My Soviet Helios 58mm? Cost me £8 off of ebay.
I guess all that rambling doesn't really answer your specific question... I guess the TLDR version is decide on a camera with a mount that gives you as much versatility as possible in terms of adaptors available to it or has the lens range which offers you what you want, then go for that one. I wouldn't bother getting any lenses for a system you're actively intending to change, especially if it's not a quality glass line.
Is it used in cooking?
I don't know... velcro? No, it can't be that, because that's not a representation of someone or something...and it does vary in size.
Crap.
Can it be folded and/or bended? (I'm aware that you said it could be posted in an envelope so...)
I love TableTop
They've come out with a few Extended Editions recently that are absolutely great. My favourite have probably been Dragon Age, Pandemic and Settlers of Catan. I'm very close to actually buying some of these board games.
Supergirl looks like she's dressed in typical high fantasy elven garb, so I didn't think much of that one, same with Powergirl (it's the boots more than anything I suppose), but Psylocke and Elecktra work really well and fit in perfectly with their characters (i.e., they're dressed like ninjas).
I thoroughly enjoyed the last poll we did which chose those six films before LOTR. I learnt that democracy is great but that I should lubricate the system with money and loose women.
So what was the internal varieties thing then? I think you should stick to yes/no answers ![]()
The 'internal varieties' has me thinking its a pipe of some kind, i.e., a smoking pipe. But since I've never used one I'm not sure how much sucking is involved.
I think it's time to admit I have a man crush on Kurt Russell. Fella has been awesome ever since I first saw him in Big Trouble in Little China.
Saw Lockout and can only remember the part where they jump out of the space station and go into immediate freefall, because, you know, being in orbit is just like being really reallly high up in the sky. That and the whole inanity of the let's put our dangerous prisoners in a station above the earth thing made me roll me eyes a bit.
But I vaguely remember enjoying the whole thing despite these two complaints.
I just saw Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai, which is another remake from Takashi Miike and is yet another case of the original (by Kobayashi) being much better. Throughout the whole thing, I was wondering what the point of remaking it was (besides telling the story in colour). I don't know, maybe someone who hasn't seen the original would like it (and perhaps end up preferring it due to its more modern look)?
I rather intensely dislike that video. It demonstrates the old adage of 'not all replies are answers', in that some of the answers are merely hand waves, and manages to be quite patronising to boot.
I'd love to see some more Arnie films - Predator, Running Man and Total Recall being at the top of that list. And True Lies I guess, since it'll get you one step closer to doing the Complete Cameron Collection. Gotta catch em all etc.
