Ambilight Skiing - enough to make one salivate... if I do say so myself.
CitizenFour - Snowden Documentary - It is clear that the U.S. Government has gone too far this time. But that is just my random opinions that don't really add up to much. What I am excited about is this documentary. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Since I first mentioned John Oliver's new show a few weeks ago he has made magic happen over and over and over again. He has castigated the Miss America's pageant's claim that they are the world's largest provider of women's college scholarships. Napalmed the US's policy on drones. Investigated student debt. Begged Scotland not to leave the United Kingdom. Beseeched Peru to get on the ball wrt ISIS. But none of it was as funny or revealing as this reporting on the concept of Civil Forfeiture that was originally in a story called "Stop and Seize" reported by the Washington Post.

Awesome Millennium Falcon Awesomeness - Ok. So I have a ton of pent up angst around the new Star Wars movies. If you don't know, I'm a huge Star Wars fan. Huge huge. For Episode I-III I sat in line hundreds of hours for tickets and seats. I also had a blast hanging out in line in advance for the re-release of the originals as well.
The Signal Movie Explained
Wherein I discuss Shakespearian pronunciations, the Globe theater, and most importantly the conspiracy theory that is Shakespeare. The only single line of logic holding this entire post together is "Shakespeare" the myth himself.

Modern Console Gaming Destiny - if Destiny is the future of not only gaming, but entertainment in general, what can we expect? If you are playing a single player game... the first thing you can expect is that other guys will be shooting at your bad guys. Wha? Yeah, I accidentally teamed up with a couple players last night, and we pushed through the bad guys together. Normally the levels are built to handle around three players a piece. Right? So each level, the complexity and difficult of the levels are ranked for a cooperative of three people to play them together. But if you are running solo, you will just naturally find that there will be others on your board at the same time. Which changes your game play immediately. I never said hello. I never talked to them. And yet we both started running through the same valley to hit the target together.
So if there are legal world wide distribution issues, and damage to the negative issues... what's a fan to do? Create Your Own, Apparently. And that is what one fan has done. I have it on good authority, let's call this authority "A FRIEND OF MINE", that not only is this "Despecialized" version is a possibility, it is in fact a reality.
Random Thoughts On the Gone Girl Movie - Random Thoughts On the Gone Girl Movie - The latest Gone Girl trailer and the resultant churn around it has been really fascinating to me. "OH MY GOSH - Did Ben Affleck's new role kill his wife?!", "He's being investigated for murder?!", "Why'd he take this role?", "Should I read the book and ruin the movie?", "I can't wait!". Etc, etc. Really makes me chuckle. What they don't realize is that Gillian Flynn re-wrote a different ending from the book for the screenplay. Did you catch that? The movie ends differently than the book. Hard stop. For those of you who haven't read the book... that is the end of this blog post for you. Thanks for swinging by. I'm diving into spoilers for you - ie, I'm going down a layer. Go away already.
Ridley Scott The Martian Blade Runner 2 and Prometheus 2 - But now Ridley has his hands full with three new enormous movies under his purview. The are two that I am incredibly excited about. The first one (not in any particular order) is The Martian. The Martian is a brilliant Robinson Crusoe type of story with a man that is accidentally abandoned on Mars by himself. The book was written by Andy Weir. The Martian was unlike any book I had ever read before. I kept expecting it to be something completely different than it was. And it continued to surprise me time after time. Just a fantastic and clever book end to end.
