Re: What's the latest in people's lives?

English has made its way to more signs, and in more business in the last couple of years... The first time I went there in 2010, not many signs were in english, most shops DID NOT accept credit cards and expected you to pay cash, and everyone turning around yelling "Ohaiyou Gozaimass" when...

I would suggest you read the first one to give you an idea...
He's not perfect, has many flaws, and his strengths are well explained...
Fun to read, and sometimes, you don't need a Tolkien or Martin written book to have a fun read... 8)

Any Jack Reacher fans here?

I first read "One Shot" after the JR movie came out, and I haven't been able to stop since... I've read them all in haphazard order as soon as I could get my hands on them... I don't know what it is about the character, i guess his direct, no nonsense approach to any situation appeals to m...

Re: Logan | Official Trailer

Very excited about it, but seeing as how the first two ended up as disappointments (not the best of the X-Men movies), I fear a similar feeling once I see it...

Re: Trek XIII general news and rumours

I disagree with the settings being so different as to not call them Trek... TOS was very different from TNG, which was very different from DS9, which was different from ENT, which had not much in common with most of the movies, yet they all have the Star Trek name, because they all relate to the sam...

Re: J.J. Abrams to direct Star Wars Episode 7

You might want to keep your eyes open next time. It tends to help with the whole "seeing" business. Oh, they were open, since I did not see the Ewok slaughter you mentioned, since in all the displayed battle, we see a good 5-6 Ewoks die, tops, while we see a bit more ST die, which, consid...

They can if the tribbles don't have hero shields. The trooper gun has this odd malfunction of accuracy whenever a hero is on the screen. Its fine otherwise.
