A new Star Trek movie!

This is exceptional news!  Star Trek XI is soon going to be made, directed by the same guy who created Lost.  The story is going to apparently centre on the early days of Kirk and Spock, when they met and went on their very first mission.

Wooohooo!  I’ll be following this with great interest!

What would you do?

Imagine you met someone from the future who travelled back in time to tell you that 20 years from now:

• The ‘Long War’ had gone on for over 20 years, and the US was losing
• Muslims had nuked Israel out of existence and ruled the Middle East
• Muslims everywhere had risen up against non-Muslims, and as a result:
• Europe was under Muslim law and called Eurasia
• Some cities in the US had been nuked
• Russia had taken advantage of the US withdrawals from Europe and taken back its old regions

Those delusional, idiotic right-wing Americans

I posted the below comment on a blog post over here. It’s such a shame that stupid right-wing commenters prefer hiding their heads in the sand. I posted this comment, which the loser deleted, ’cause he obviously doesn’t want to debate the truth. Hey, I know people can delete any comments they like, but he asked for left wingers to comment, but then deletes their comments, while continuing to ask for them to comment. Like most right-wingers, he wants to stifle debate and hide the truth, suppressing the very freedoms they say they promote. Fracking idiots, the lot of ‘em.

I’ll ignore the insults, as I’d like to think that you’re more intelligent than someone who uses insults to disguise their lack of intelligence. That can’t be you, right?

A Sound of Thunder

The other day I watched a movie called A Sound Of Thunder.  It was a sci-fi movie based on Robert Heinlein’s short story of the same name.  Unfortunately, there was a lot wrong with the movie that didn’t need to be.

1) The special effects mostly sucked!
These were the worst special effects I’ve seen in a movie in a long time…  the computer graphics representing a city in 2050 were no more special than what you would expect on an expensive television advertisement.  They weren’t much better than a computer game’s graphics.  Pathetic.  The creature effects weren’t much different, although they were marginally better than the environment graphics.
