Trey is spot on. As a matter of fact, season 1 of Torchwood is abysmally horrid ("Oh, we are ADULT, see - bring on the nudity and gay sex for... wait what, do we need a reason"?), and Children of Earth is the Pinnacle of it, and can be watched by itself with no more knoweledge than abve.

And for Trey: The good part about Smith as the doctor is that he goes even more loopy. But I think you should bathe in a little more Tennant first smile

So i am one of those people excited for Pacific rim since it is *finally* s "robots punching monsters" with modern high quality effects.

You guys,  tho, claim that many movies have been made that are like this.

Really?

Name a single "giant robots (or mechs, really) punching giant monsters with modern effects" movie please.

Just wondering.

By "Layers" I mean you solve the "top" side first (including the edges around it - super-rookies thinks they have "solved one side" just coz it is all red, but it isn't "solved" unless the edges around it have all the right colors too). Then you solve the 2nd "row", and then you solve the bottom (generally by first solving the corners and then the middle pieces)

The techniques I use are probably not "the best" but are stuff me and my friends came up with ourselves in school, oh, 30 years ago.

Here's my rough step-by-step description.  I have only like 4 "moves" I know, and I can't explain them, coz they are all muscle-memory, and every time I've tried to EXPLAIN to someone what I do, I inveriably end up doing slowly (to show it) and holding the cube "wrong" compared to my muscle memory, so I screw up doing the "move" ... so no, you won't get details, just a principle:

Step 1: You do the "top", well, you just do it, it's simple enough to just figure out, you need no special "moves", but make sure it color matches all around the edge too.

Step 2: Align the center squares under the right color of the "edges" of the top side.

Step 3: Fix the non-center parts in the 2nd "row". There is only one "move" you need to know to do this, it's a "move" that switches place of 2 middle pieces. You just align the piece you want in the right place on the bottom side, and do the move sequence... what used to be on that particlar spot in the bottom is now in your "middle row" instead. Repeat this until "middle row" is done.

Step 4: Rotate bottom side so that the corners have the right POSITION (so the colors of the sides matches the colors that EXIST on the corner - ignore the rotations of the corners). If that is impossible, you need to swap two corners. If so, you need to use the "swap two corners" move.


Step 5: Now the corners are in the right place, but probably rotated wrong. You use a move that "rotates three corners" to do this.

Step 6: Now your corners are rotated correctly and in the right place. Only bottom side "middle pieces" are wrong. You use a variant of the "middle piece moving" thing from step 2, only when used on the bottom it actually swaps place on 3 "middle pieces", so you need to be mindful of orientation and sequence to do the "three piece shuffle" until things are in the right spot.

I could make a video, but you wouldn't be able to follow it due to the Muscle-memory thing. smile

Enders game would PROBABLY work best as a cartoon / anime thing... or full CGI... but who would spend the $ to make such a dark, violent and death-of-innocence-of-an-8-year-old thing? Nobody.

Stick to the book. But make sure pick up the book used or download it illicitly, unless you want to sponsor Orson Scott Cards latter day homophobic insanity. sad

Honestly, I'm guessing they are cheating with some form of frame / box below that. No way you'd make it that straight and nice out of *just* balloons. Or?

Are you my Mummy? Are you my Mummy?

"Shark Brain" (two syllables) had been better.

So I totally loving the "Friends in your Head" bit.

Not sure I'm a big fan of the "What Are You Doing, Movie?" name, probably coz it's too multisyllabic. DIF was three syllables, this is SEVEN.

Just FYI: Things that still say "DIF" not "WYDM" or "FIYH":

- That link Teague just posted on Facebook. Yes I know the link itself is to FIYH.com, but the text still says DIF. Dunno why.
- The feed at feedburner
- The chatroom and the live stream thingy at /live

Just FYI, jus ttrying to help, not trying to be a donkey nor mule nor ass.

Iron Man 3 was pretty much all shite. Not as much shite as Iron Man 2 - but fairly close. Nonsensical plot, unrealistic villains.... where do I even start? The level of ridiculousness was through the roof from frame #1.

The only bits that were even remotely cool was Pepper donning the suit, and Pepper kicking ass at the end (tho I hated Guy Piercings fire deamon henchmen crap guys), plus the Mandarin fakeout (love that).

Soooo much stuff made Noooo sense. What's this stuff about Tony having Anxiety attacks... that went exactly NOWHERE!?

Holy hell.

Oblivion was the better movie BY FAR.
