I'm not familiar with the Jim Cameron Oscar story that you guys referenced in the episode. Is there any way I could convince one of you to relate it? Maybe just the Cliff's Notes version?

Thanks. smile

Sounds cool. I love The Intermission.

Just don't stop commentaries altogether. I love those things, man.

"Hey, Starbuck. What do you hear?"
"Nothing but the rain."
"Then grab your gun and bring in the cat."

This callout from BSG makes no sense until you see Starbuck in her viper cockpit with shrapnel pinging it and it sounds like rain. I just assume their callout makes sense as an inside academia joke. *shrug*

That's one of my absolute favorite moments from BSG, by the way. Gah, I love sf.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you do not have to be high, you just have to have been there. Silly inside jokes do not require people to be on drugs.

Conan the Barbarian.

Whenever I'm sick or upset, I get a pint of ice cream, cover myself with a blanket, and cry at all the sad parts.

Oh man, for an excellent example, check out the first few James Bond movies on Blu-ray. Dr. No looks like it was filmed last year, and is just a period piece set in the sixties. The picture is stunning.

...

Does anybody else refer to Blu-ray as "blurry"? Not in a derogatory way, just in a... "Why did you choose a name that sounds like blurry, you dumb marketing people?" way.

I guess by my logic, they should have called the technology "Sharp-ray" or something.

How about a primer on special effects terms, lingo, and concepts?

(I'm always trying to explain resolution and aliasing to people who aren't into computer graphics.)
