tvashtarkatena Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) So the Mrs really wants to go see Avitar this weekend. I think we have been to 2 movies at the theater in the past 8 years. All I've heard here is it really sucks. I did not read this whole thread but what is the majority opinion on this flick. Worth the $25 it's gonna end up costing for the two of us? It's worth the $25 to do something your wife really wants to do, ya cheapskate. If I weren't so broke now, the $ would not be an issue. Less about the $ as it is wasting 3 hours on a crappy movie. Most of us are in the same $$$ boat right about now, but look at it this way: an acid trip in a tropical rain forest would be more expensive. Plus, is there a better way to blow money than on a woman? Edited January 23, 2010 by tvashtarkatena Quote
Bug Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Uh, have you seen the latest issue of National Geographic? Quote
Fairweather Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Uh, have you seen the latest issue of National Geographic? It seems TTK can't even manage one! Better not let him see that issue. Quote

Do you like Sci-fi? If so....you should enjoy this movie. Quote
Fairweather Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 DOOD, stick to bravery and leave the science to grownups: Extrasolar Planets Almost all of these are gas giants, many within the frost line, and most orbit main sequence stars. Why: big planets orbiting close to stars are easier to detect, and surveys have concentrated on main sequence stars. Waste of time. The guy can't even interpret a simple, unambiguous table of data. Just not gonna happen here. Conservative Brain Syndrome . There's medication for it: lots and lots of painkillers to render the removal of the broom handle from one's ass less painful. Here's a simpleton's version for you, since it's likely that you had never heard of this concept before yesterday. Leave it to TTK to turn a tongue-in-cheek critique of a sci-fi movie into a quest for ego gratification. http://lasp.colorado.edu/education/outerplanets/solsys_planets.php As for your chart, well, there is an explanation that isn't quite settled. Let's see if you can figure it out on your own--if you're not too busy with those ridiculous light bulb sculptures. Quote
prole Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 This thread is even more amazing than I'd hoped it would be when it was first posted. Quote
Fairweather Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 100 replies is the standard. Try a more provocative thread title next time. "Avatar: George Bush's Evil Legacy Thwarted on Pandora" or "Avatar: Marxian Concepts Overcome Interstellar Capitalism" Quote
Bug Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 "Polyp: The first Public Viewing of a President's Anus." Quote

"Avatar: George Bush's Evil Legacy Thwarted on Pandora" or "Avatar: Marxian Concepts Overcome Interstellar Capitalism" more like "Avatar- How I never fucked a pig". Quote

Do you like Sci-fi? If so....you should enjoy this movie. That depends... Yes, I do, so long as it is not the type geared toward 13 year old kids. The weather was too nice to be stuck in a theater anyway. Maybe will go see it next weekend... Quote
prole Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I want to state this for the record: I will never, so long as I live, watch this film. Fuckit. Quote
