Ah, the things you guys miss when I go make me some tea. I came up with this awesome alternate timeline where Blade and Buffy show up and start killing off the town, just like AVP2.

Seriously, this movie hurt my brain. The dialogue must have been written by the same 7th-grade lunch table thespians that George Lucas used to write the "romantic" scenes in ATTACK OF THE CLONES.

Not to take anything away from TRON: LEGACY (especially as I'm going to see it next week), but if I was gonna do a sequel to an 80's sci-fi movie, I would have chosen THE LAST STARFIGHTER.
Plot: 25 years after the events of the original movie, the Ko-Dan Armada has reached Earth, looking to make it an outpost. Alex and Maggie, two of the head rulers of the Star League, send their child back to their homeworld to find new Starfighters and rally the remaining Earth forces against Xur's demented schemes of domination. Good, yes?
- Steven Perez
The only question is, who would do the soundtrack? I'm thinking Burial or Faithless, but I don't know.
- Steven Perez
give them time; I'm sure they'll get around to it
- MiniMage
every great sci-fi movie should start in a lovable trailer park!!
- Nicķ
I thought the costumes were in the same style as the original TRON (although, more black light effects rather than just glowing), but the special effects could have used a "cleaner, computer generated" feel. Like, why did the Recognizer need jets coming out of the feet?
- Andy Bakun
Last Starfighter is better than Tron. :-)

I loved Starfighter. I also loved how every ship and space-battle scene would eventually be included in an episode of Battlestar Galactica

To discriminate against a thoroughly upright citizen because he belongs to some particular church, or because, like Abraham Lincoln, he has not avowed his allegiance to any church, is an outrage against that liberty of conscience which is one of the foundations of American life. - http://silas216.tumblr.com/post...
By the way, Robert is arguing with me that only 30 people are left on friendfeed, so if you disagree with that notion, please like this post...sorry in advance if it seems like this is pure likebait, but this is a real Scoble argument

Robert, in all seriousness, you and Leo are why I even checked out FriendFeed. I believe you were one a TWiT episode during/after a Twitter fail.

Google is smart to make it a bad copy. If you make it too good, it goes mainstream and the techies move on.

So much for Buzz, and Wave. Ask Leo. We are still here sharing cool stuff. It still works, just like it did when you left. I know we don't have the old numbers, but it works all the same.

(taking off the gloves) MaryB is right on. The Friendfeed community is a cross between the public and the personal (a Facebook-Twitter nexus—bad analogy, but whatever). The sincere can come here and get support. The person behind the personality—that's the sweet spot to the FF community that I know and love.

I'm still here, although a little less than I used to be
- Jesse Stay
I've been thinking about a complete return to Friendfeed and did a blog post this week (Sorry Leo?) about blogging less and enjoying (and learning) more ... so make it 31 Alex :) What most people don't realize (and I'm STILL hopeful) is that it still is the best discussion platform with the most amount of user options around ..

Just checked, and one library FF room has more than 500 members. I'd guess there are scientist rooms with at least that many. But, you know, the Scobleizer Room may be a tad underpopulated...
- Walt Crawford
@Walt: are you sure it's underpopulated? No one on Twitter is saying it's underpopulated.
- Anthony Citrano
The standard was first set at 30, then 60, yet nearly 70 was still considered unimpressive? Someone nail that goal post to the ground.
- Mike Chelen
Anthony: I was being silly. Is there a Scobleizer Room on FF? It's FF usage that's being questioned, not Twitter. And I'm guessing most people no longer look for *that* Scoble on FF, since he publicly walked away.

"Wingnuts have a lot of tactics: lying, screeching, saying racist things and then taking umbrage when you point out that they’re racist, fantasizing out loud about “second amendment remedies”. But getting someone fired is by far their favorite tactic, bar none. It accomplishes so much, if you’re successful! It reinforces the idea that you’re above criticism (gearing you up for the next time someone is targeted for harassment for having the nerve to criticize you), is scares would-be critics into silence, and above all, it fucks someone’s life up tremendously. Actual “second amendment remedies” are dangerous and get you thrown in jail. Getting someone fired, however, is something you can do without any repercussions for yourself. It’s the perfect strategy for the cowardly sadist, and therefore the favorite of wingnuts."

"The latest example (though, to be fair, there’s always half a dozen in process with the wingnutteria) is this harassment campaign against John Abraham, Associate Professor at the University of St. Thomas.

Ah, but even this silent era vamp had his charms--the girl swoons, etc. Coppola's version owes much to Nosferatu.

Note that Coppola's version is pretty darned ugly at certain points as well--including when he gets his lover's redemptive kiss at the end. Hotness transcends looks.
- Kathy Fitch
I guess. I could never make that mental leap. Depending on which school of thought you subscribe to, vampire hawtness, in my brain, is predicated on either (a) screwing someone with a horrible disease or (b) screwing a reanimated dead person. Either way, I say ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
- Steven Perez
Since we're discussing fictional characters here- Eric from True Blood? Hot vamp. Edward from Twilight? Hot vamp. I'd go for Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt...but..well... so we've got these 'gentleman' vamps who seduce in order to kill. Sure you have your Nosforatu's and your ....oh what hte hell was the one with the chick in the tight suit....
- Erin @queenofspain
Ah, but the allure of vampires is all about the mental leap--about symbolism, power, glamour, etc. Forbidden love, forbidden exchange of bodily fluids, love that conquers death . . .Well, the whole thing is poetry, really.
- Kathy Fitch
Blade is another that owes something to Nosferatu--German Expressionism all the way. Plus, the epic battles between good and evil--and the difficulty, sometimes, of determining exactly what counts as one or the other--is all part of the great mythology and symbolism of the thing, as well. Sex and violence, life and death are always intertwined in horror.
