Finally listened to this one even though I've never seen Good Will Hunting. I got a name drop, whee!

Concatenate: to stick together, to append, to prefix/suffix.

The sum of seven and eight is fifteen; the concatenation of 'seven' and 'eight' is 'seveneight'. It's more commonly a programming thing for characters than a math thing for numbers.

If I upload four 1.5 gb video clips to an undisclosed location is that workable? They're right off the camera. Or should I shrink them first?

If shrink them is the way to go, what settings are good these days? I'm feeling strong TF.n deja-vu asking that question...

I will be only mildly disappointed if there are not actual babies and werewolves in it.

I have plans within plans...

I haven't seen Jupiter Ascending, but I've definitely been in the Wachowski Defense Squad since loving the heck out of Speed Racer.

Didn't see this the first time around and listened today. I think I vaguely knew you had a post on the SLJ reads a thing thread but I had no idea there was a huge back story. Fascinating.

I get what did happen, I just thought it was nuke-the-fridge level unbelievable. Everything up until the last reset was fine since the Tom Cruise character would have as many tries as needed and the Emily Blunt character apparently could learn fast (plus she had lots of past experience). But for the last run into the Omega they got one shot, and we're to believe that they both survive being dragged through walls and falling down multiple floors of parking garage before getting to the Omega.

If the Emily Bunt character distracts the Alpha at the end and then manages to get the Alpha-blood magic bean again, then she'd be reliving the day again instead of Tom Cruise. Obviously that didn't happen and it would be thematically awkward, but I really thought that's where it was going.

Saw it over the holidays and enjoyed it quite a bit, though I was definitely expecting the very end to involve Emily Blunt getting Alpha-blooded again because there is no way they survived that sequence at the Louvre as first-time mortals.

But whatever.

The fact that my brother-in-law thought he'd already seen the recent movie where Tom Cruise saves the world from aliens  (he'd seen the other one) might also be indicative of why it didn't do well.

Well, I was a bit bigger than 12 inches, but Fievel Goes West: An American Tale.

Possibly because it was the only VHS we had in the house...

My two-year-old daughter has watched most of the Iron Giant. She lost interest during many of the actionier parts, but liked most of the scenes where the 'big robot' was playing with Hogarth.

Also, Spiff wanted to name our son Hogarth. I vetoed that one.
