7/12 OT Thread I

We got to jump on this thing now.

it’s the scramjet plane. That’s a technology that’s never been put into place on anything other than a test craft before, and even then not until less than 10 years ago. There’s still a lot of work to be done on the engine as well as the aerodynamics of hypersonic atmospheric flight (you wouldn’t believe the drag those things generate).

I just saw a still photo of the people holding his legs and him dangling over.

Either way, I did see the video from last weekend. It was irresponsible and risky as well. I realize nobody will agree with me, but I think what Stone did was kind of stupid. I am in no way trying to discount the man or his life or the tragedy or anything……I just don’t get why he did what he did.

As he’s falling, which was like a slow motion film, both of us were like saying out loud – “Just drop the ball!”

Whether the Rangers should have had netting there or not, I’m really not sure. If they have nets there, shouldn’t they have them in front of every upper deck first row? Where does it stop? Are they going to put up NHL style glass so people so ultra concerned with a ball can’t fall over? I’m sure all that has been debated here to death, but if I was a juror on the Stone v. Rangers lawsuit, I would assign 90% of the comparative negligence to Stone for taking a giant risk in trying to keep a ball, and 10% to the Rangers for failing to have a net in that one small stretch of park.

People lean over railings all the time to catch a foul ball and this has never happened.

you think IV needles are big? uh uh.

Maybe this guy played it down a little then. Or was trying to sound tough. But, either way, you’re right. It’s probably nothing compared to what the recipient is going through. Also, I’m a redhead, so apparently, I have a higher pain tolerance.

Yeah, I’m now convinced he was playing tough. I forgot to add that he’s also military, so maybe pain is relative.

but I will probably wait until my oncologist gives me the “all clear” at least.

That’s just about the coolest thing you can have in your wallet

Time to get fucked up

is more like the Batman route than the other way around.

How is this Inception poster a poster for Inception?

It’s a city. There was a city in the movie, yes. It looks like a real city, not the limbo city, though. So the connection is very loose.

It’s Boondock Saints, but only for personal reasons. I thought that movie was the most badass thing ever made when I first saw it in 2000 or so. For some reason I can watch it twice a day and not get tired of it.

Clearly Inception has a much more devoted following than I’m aware of, which is unusual.

Though I don’t moderate the message board of a major review site anymore, so there’s that.

I said I didn’t get the impression that the general populous of IMDb would consider it a top 10 film ever a year later.

I like Fellowship the most, but I find myself in the minority way more often than not.
