  1. Lots of questions (*) for that Tesla Bot but it is an incredible advancement. The days when people have to do dangerous jobs are near an end, at the least through teleoperation of humanoid robots. A couple decades away at most. We still may have people doing them for cost reasons still though. (*) How long does it have power? How strong is it? How nimble? What kind of dexterity?
  2. It is a possible step towards replacement fingers for those that have lost fingers or an entire hand.
  3. Me too, he did great in that role.
  4. There was a time, not that long ago, when this was a joke from MST3K "Well, no, it's just that I've never heard of an action sequence in a Christmas carol before."
  5. "Already An Idea" is a long long long long long... way away from a third movie being reality. That is not even a napkin plot sketch.
  6. Yeesh - I know movie/TV tactics are bad but those guys are BAD. Just walk up in column through enemy territory with no scouts out, that puts it in unwatchable territory. As for the CGI, the Final Fantasy movie from 2001 is way better in regards to physics - something in all of this video just seems off.
  7. Despite being one of many to bring Vader to life he IS Vader to me. His guest role on Big Bang Theory was priceless. Rest In Peace and thank you for the joy you have brought to my life.
  8. It will only get more convoluted as it goes along. Major Disappointment after 2199. It also suffers from plot spaghetti - they throw tons of stuff out there and never develop it.
  9. Visually all of the JP (still a Park to me) films were top notch already. Ever since the first one what they really need is a script editor.
  10. For a Speccy a mini would be the size of a paperclip! A friend of mine had a bunch of the mainboards for them put up on his wall in the later part of the eighties. The 8bit Guy has a couple videos on the line of machines and they engineering/design of them was impressive.
  11. I'd be surprised if an arbitration clause is not included in ALL those "sign this to access this service" agreements. The only question is if they legally binding and to what degree. (disputes about the service provided by D+ is almost certainly legally binding, disputes about a D+ contract applying to a death at a theme park is a stretch).
  12. Yup - Disney didn't drop their arbitration argument simply out of the goodness of their hearts OR for the horrible optics of it. The Skyliner is normally a GREAT way to get to Hollywood Studios for early entry, there are times of the year it is packed to the gills early though. I've never tried early entry to EPCOT - it is the park we go to in the afternoon after visiting HS in the morning.
  13. The resorts also have resort only boats. I took the one from the campground and it was a nice trip. The Grand Floridian now has a walkway to MK as well. A longer trip then Contemporary but still possible. You could also walk to Polynesian from there but they may still have part of it blocked off for construction going on at Poly.
  14. WDW can be just as bad - with the added problem of the monorail or boat trip from the parking lot to the park entrance. If at all busy I suggest taking the ferry over, the wait for the monorail can be pretty bad while the wait for the ferry is usually just till the next one arrives (and when it is busy they have at least two running).
  15. This won't be the movie to bring me back to a movie theater, I may watch it when it comes out on streaming. I may not. The preview was just not compelling.
  16. My friend was a juror in a criminal trial, one batch of morons bought drugs off another moron. They took a gun and stole the drug dealer's money and then to hide from the cops moved to the hotel across the street from the hotel where they did the crime. Even though my friend was only a juror in the trial for the buyers/robbers my friend said every juror in the jury room wanted to convict everyone. This show is a lot like that...
  17. Disney can't afford to keep losing money any longer. D+ pulled in a profit (so I hear) and they want it to continue to do so. Also - though THIS show is off the table I would not be surprised to see these characters come back in another show.
  18. Same way BoPeep met back up with the gang...
  19. I have only been to Disneyland once, luckily it was in December. Disneyland does a MUCH better job of holiday theming than Disney World does. Even the Small World attraction was fun with the Holiday decorations. Also all through the DL park the decorating for the Holiday is much better then Magic Kingdom. The DW hotels near Epcot do a nice job decorating though! Indiana Jones is going to use the old Dinosaur ride, it will be rethemed. I don't know if any kind of update to the ride itself will be done. Disney is also no longer interested in sticking to theming at the park - it also about stuff as much IP into each park as possible. I'm not all upset about that but I wish it were done with a teeny tiny bit more thought.
  20. Disney is finally announcing a lot of new work to be done at the parks. I just hope they actually come through this time.
  21. I should have said closer to the original animated movie, I've not read the book it is based on but I would guess the Disney movie is a good bit different.
  22. From the trailer it sticks a LOT closer to the original story then that one from a few years back with whats her name.
  23. I liked TS4 more then TS3 myself, I thought it was a better story too with Woody having to deal with not being the favorite (or even cared about) any longer. I've not heard that Allen didn't want to do them any longer, more along the lines of "if it is over then OK".
