Wouldn't we all.

Just watched it.
I've never read the Dirk Gently books so I can't say what they are like in relation to that.
I did however, enjoy the show, it was fairly good. A nice little tale that was mildly amusing and kind of interesting. -

I agree, this could be an explanation. We have seen in past episodes consequences of past and future selves meeting. In "Mawdryn Undead" we see 2 versions of the Brigadier touch and cause a huge discharge of energy (where we first heard the phrase "shorting out the time differential"). In "Father's Day" Rose holds her infant self and causes further damage to time. Even 2 versions of the sonic screwdriver touching caused a discharge of energy.
My guess is that the Doctor was able to use the TARDIS to minimize or prevent any problems of past and future versions meeting.
It could have been explained by a bit technobabble, but really it was better to just let the plot flow as it was.
The First Doctor once stated that "History can not be rewritten. Not a jot!". -

The two new rules of time travel of the modern Dr. Who has been:
1. You can't change time.
2. Yes, you can.
3. Depends on the script. -

Great, although the BBC UK vs BBC USA broadcasts are at last in sync, it looks like iPlayer vs iTunes availability is not. Those of us without TVs are going to have to find alternate means of watching this.
Still, must suck for you.

1. What caused WaltÂ’s powers? (And why did they apparently vanish when the actor playing him hit puberty?)

The problem I see, is this is the forums, I really don't think the majority of the player base wants a skirt for their male models, so basically a lot of work, for very little of the player base.

First option. Hopefully I could somehow hibernate until something actually interesting starts to happen... I don't fancy several billion years floating in an empty void.

Of course, that's a problem inherent with every machine translator. The question is, does it change in real time so awesomely and is it "understandable" if not 100% correct.

Just downloaded this. The app is free, but you have to pay for the various translation packs. At the moment all they seem to have is English to Spanish and Spanish to English. Each pack is worth 2.99 each.

That video was awesome. I wish there had been one central character to root for though. But free for alls are cool too.

I did like how the mannequin had Nicolas Cage's face, but with the top of his head cut off. Sometimes, I want to chop the top of his head off.

Superman Lives. The doomed Tim Burton reboot of the Superman franchise. It was to feature Nic Cage as the man of steel... and also kinda make him a cyborg thingy goth-y type person.
Anyway, now you too can see what the suit might have looked like in action...

Iron Man and Iron Man 2 are pretty stunning on blu-ray.

I really hope they add the ability for us to change our death animation, so we could explode or use a smoke bomb and vanish or we could teleport away. I'm getting bored of seeing the same death animation over and over again!

It looks a hell of a lot better than Green Lantern.
For a start, it seems to be taking the source material seriously.
In addition, it doesn't have dodgy cgi masks. -
Looks awesome, can't wait!

Even "good" films do it. You could point out hundreds of such problems with ANY film.

Quote:As I said, you're basically complaining that a technically amazing fireworks display had a stupid plot.Originally Posted by Ironik
I can fully appreciate both but when a movie sinks to a level that's SO mind-numbingly stupid that even a brain parked in neutral suddenly stirs to life and goes, "Hey WTF was that?" -- well, *that's* when you have a problem, and the Transformers movies do that.
I haven't felt stupid after watching a Transformers film, I've thought "hey, that was pretty fun."
And you're right, a movie doesn't NEED to be either/or. But there's no reason it's CAN'T be either/or. Or are you going to complain that *insert popular dramatic film here* didn't have enough fight scenes? -
Quote:Psst, Transformers IS crappy looking giant robots.Originally Posted by Cynical_Gamer
Funny, this Transformers fan wanted a movie about Transformers, not crappy looking giant robots.

Quote:Heaven forbid people sit back and just enjoy a spectacle. I consider it the movie equivalent of watching a fireworks display. Sit down with a drink, some popcorn, watch pretty explosions for 90 minutes and just have some fun.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
The Youtube commentsare very enlightening as to why Bay gets away with what he does.
A movie has;
1) Action Sequences
2) Some hot chick
3) Profit!
I...shouldn't be surprised. I really shouldn't. But it's so mind numbingly depressing as to just how easily people are satisfied.
I think there's room in this world for both deep thought provoking films and films that are just explosions and stuff. No reason people can't have and enjoy both.
