The arrival of aggressive private sector space enterprises like SpaceX has changed the whole equation. Now going to the Moon first would no longer be a distraction that sucks all the focus away from Mars. On the contrary, private participation ensures multiple players, so the Moon wouldn't be abl...

To Infinity and Beyond!

Seriously though, it would be cool if this could be turned into a spectator sport. Might become the new macho testosterone sport, ahead of IndyCar racing. That would help to evolve the technology faster, too. I can picture the Goodyear blimp over a stadium/field, with a b...

Philip K Dick would be proud

The captured terrorist will talk, and we'll learn who he was working for. I don't think a guy can lose his legs and still keep his mouth shut. As soon as he talks under interrogation, then we'll know who he was working for.

@6:36 it sounds like Stan Lee playing daddy-o

Hemmingway? More like Jack London and Farley Mowat

Call it the "Mini-Scale Pro" - which would be short for "Miniature Scale Prototype" - since the real one will have to be 30 feet tall (with 30mm guns and reactive armor)

As Indians we should be ashamed at the conduct of these worthless sand-n*ggers. What kind of scumbags do this on taxpayer-paid time?

Of course the PMO is guilty of poor decision-making. They punished Nair before the CAG report even came out. The govt has not given Nair the opportunity to give his side of the story before reports were published. Why has the govt forced Nair to challenge it in the courts, without letting him hav...

@collegeboykeith,

Well, it's similar to Carrie, too.

I'd like to see a sequel to Chronicle - they took all the most interesting elements from Akira and Carrie

Good movie - everybody's mentioning Akira as a comparison, but also don't forget Carrie by Stephen King

got a good laugh out of your review :)

reminds me a lot of Carrie and Akira - 2 movies with similarities to this one

Akira Meets Carrie

@Zack,

Yeah, was a lot like Akira, but don't forget Carrie as well

@pieguywithafry,

so use your psi powers to fry him, fling him around the room, turn him inside out, strike him with lightning, and splatter him all over the landscape

@schwieberta1005,

It's not clear that Andrew killed Steve, even though he blamed himself for it. To me, it looked like natural lightning.

The real assh*le was abusive step-dad. I really wanted to see him get telekinetically splattered several times over, but he got saved.

regime-change has obviously not brought law and order to Libya

The so-called "Arab Spring" hasn't resulted in much change in Egypt - the country is still in limbo due to the military clinging to power. How long can the place stay in limbo? Long enough for the "Spring" to provide cover to the US in overthrowing all the Arab regimes it finds inconvenient to de...

@ameroffsky, nobody cares about Tunisia because it isn't strategic. Tunisians served their purpose, and what matters now is about fanning the wider flames of war to scorch the entire landscape. Boy are the Syrians suckers - they never saw the suckerpunch coming.

(cont'd) This forces Pakistan to ramp up Taliban's Islamist Holy War character, in order to bolster it to conquer the north and preserve Afghanistan's existing borders, which Pakistan cannot afford to let collapse at any cost. This automatically gives Taliban an affinity with transnational Islami...

I'm Indian - what that shopkeeper isn't admitting is that he and his family survive on the backs of others who are denied consumer choice. They are forced to pay higher prices with him, whereas WalMart could lower the costs they pay for their goods, including basic food staples. Shopkeepers who s...

just got back - was a nice place with nice staff

if you're absolutely picky about food, then don't go to Cuba

go somewhere else and bankrupt yourself

I thought it was a great deal

Just came back, nice hotel, good price, nice staff

was this ship used on the old Love Boat show?

Concordia The Movie

Mugen Power is offering a battery upgrade for the Galaxy Note which will extend its battery life to 4500mAh, which is an 80% improvement. This upgrade makes the phone a little fatter, but also adds a small kickstand in the back.

@concreteprinting,

Why not consider some kind of enhanced fiber-reinforced concrete as an alternative to rebar? The goal of rebar reinforcement is to add stiffness, is it not? In which case, the right kind of fiber-reinforced could add stiffness to the walls/structures in a more uniform way than...

Today, this would be the Six Billion Dollar Lawsuit, and Oscar Goldman would be Steve Austin's attorney

You added your own head-tracking? Impressive! Where's the how-to video for that?

BANZAI!

@Nasoj0Tnek,

If Elijah Wood ever auctions the One Ring, you can bet it will go for big buck$

@fantom815,

If you'll accept small critiques, the scene @1:12 needs to be lengthened by a couple of seconds, instead of cutting off the Nazgul in mid-scream. Likewise, @1:18 you cut the background music too abruptly, when you could keep it going. Also, @2:26 the Bridge of Ka'za'dum music cuts in ...

Ring, shming - in those days, one Uzi could rule them all

Is that why J K Rowling said Dumbledore in Harry Potter was gay? Just to make him cool like Gandalf?

OBI WAN!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

@Mystickneon,

Yes, but it's not enough to name the movie after a ship. The title has to be a powerful metaphor for something, or else it's too plain. I was hoping it would be like Ulysses31, who is sentenced by the Gods to various difficult trials for defying them, but then he kicks the crap out ...

@psb1964,

No, I want a new Mile High Club -- the 100 Mile High Club
