Star Trek movie - Off-topic

Guess there's not many trekkies on here.
Opening weekend is done and no comments on young James T Kirks nokia cell phone!!!! Seemed like a hollywood prop omnia rip.
VERY American though......24rth century and still no video calling

he only had nokia because of the drivers

looked like it was built in to the car to me.
Great Movie btw.
Cheers

No borgs but a great movie. Saw it today. I didn't take long for me to stop seeing Sylar and start seeing a young Spock.

I missed the "clock sound" every time sylar/spock came into view..

Veredict:
The visual effects and sound were very good. I was most impressed with the acting of both the Kirk and Spock characters. I got the feeling at the end that they really went out of their way to incorporate the old Spock and made the plot extremely complicated by this: time-travel thru black holes, paradoxes, alternate timelines, etc. (this is Star Trek though...)
There were some script writing horrors like, when little Jim is being born the father asks "what is it a boy or a girl". Didn't they have sonograms in the 22nd century? And also how original was Eric Bana's character name, Nero?
Overall: It was entretaining with good acting and action.

Not a bad film, but I thought the engine room (shot in some brewery I understand) was a real let down, actually spoiled the thing for me

it is funny too !

Just saw this movie last week. While not a fan of the original TV series, I loved the movies that they (William Shatner et al) came out with starting from the original motion picture all the way up to the ST6. While watching this movie, I was impressed by the likeness of these new characters to the original. The funniest was Mr. Chekov with his accent... classic. The actor that played Bones did a pretty good job with his character too.
Overall, my impression after walking out of the theater is that I'm looking forward to the next one that comes out.

Hello
Its great movie to watch and like them too....

Excellent movie, special effects melted my eyeballs!
Alot more funny bits than i expected too.
Had a bit of a tough time not thinking about Sylar when Spock was on screen!

Didn't you think that the bit when Bones was trying to sneak Kirk onto the Enterprise was a bit too comical ?
Maybe for the younger audience ?
It did make me laugh though.
I don't think any of the previous films relied on physical comedy like this.
Will this trend continue in the next films ?

We have never seen a real king, Michael Jackson lives up to the name of King in our time on this world. He had no arms but a microphone, no army but followers; he had never tried to conquer with violence but the whole world turn out to be his garden. He is familiar with the whole planet. He unified the world with pop music, and no one denies it. He boasts the records selling record of 750 million as long as today and no body disagrees that he will never been exceeded in the future.
Numerous persecution and scandals entangled the king when he is alive, especially during the last time of his life. Looking back on his entire life, we are sharply hit that how great musician he is. He is filled with innovation and enthusiasm, he made breakthrough time and time again and bring brand new pop music to audience. The sum of excitement and surprises might exceed that of all the music in his time.
He contributed so much to revolutionize the presentation and connotation of pop music and he lives up the name of “The King of Pop”. This is no compliment at all. He deserves it because his capability of self-surpass and grasp the essence of pop music and create fresh things time and time again and fascinating music work piece and lead us to a world of wonder. We always expect much from him and we can always get satisfied.
He was accused unfairly and all those accusation might just because his talents. He had show his rage: I have tired of the feeling of being manipulated. This oppression is real! They are lying, the history book is littered with lies. You have to know, all the pop music, from jazz to rock to hip-hop, and then to the dance, are created by black people! But they are pushed to the corner where the history books! You never saw a black man appear on the cover of it, you would only see Elvis Presley, to see the Rolling Stones. Who are the real can be a pioneer in this?
Now we know he is the pioneer of Pop music but the pioneer died with so many stories left untold. We can only seek the answer from his music. That’s legacy that we can never afford to squander. Centuries later, we would like to hear people talking about legendary Michael Jackson and admire him as The King of Pop when we are in heaven together with Michael. How can we do this? The answer is his music and we, as his followers, are responsible to keep Michael Jackson’s music and treasure his solos for future appreciation.
And we wish that he can wander leisurely as well as tranquilly in the paradise. He don’t need to moon walk in the heaven without gravitation. He should enjoy a paradise of music. He is no longer lost child and he is godson of music. And he had been borne for music, for pop music. He should have a counterpart kingdom in heaven because of his innovation and gift.
If you see the songs by him, you will realize that by the means of his song, he tried to bring down the borders between the blacks and the whites and even cared so much for the environment and Earth which is being damaged by the humans.
He has been declared innocent in all the cases against him.
He was more than for what he was credited for.
RIP MJ

Who is Cyanogen?

Steve Kondik? I guess. Android Guru? No doubt.
I've taken a glance at his twitter thing. Says he's a snowboarder and trancer. I stopped there to avoid any semblances to "cyber stalking".
But really, who is this guy? I mean, at first, I get an image of this suave, debonair, sun-glasses-wearing-even-though-its-dark playboy by day and closet android-dev by night. I mean, how could he not be the Bruce Wayne of xda, as cool as his roms are.
But then i get to thinking about it.
He must work on this stuff tirelessly, sometimes endlessly to get updates up as quick as he sometimes does. Not to mention he's twittering and updating a blog. I'm not much of a "social networker" but I can imagine how time consuming this must all be. Is my image of cyanogen a.k.a Steve unrealistic? Is he really some middle-aged, balding, white-guy with a beer belly and cheetoh stains on his three-day old white-tee, sitting at his desk of 7 computer screens with his big slurp in one hand and typing furiously on his three ergonomic keyboards with the other?
I should hope not.
I really wanted to post this in the "Dream" boards but as this is not "related to any phone" I thought I better do right and put it in here.
And guys, really, I mean this:
With All Due Respect.​

Oh, and I'm posting this as my fiancée drives us back home from our christmas trip up to her fam's. Thanks for usb tethering cyan
That description can fit almost any deserving geek/nerd so I think you will have to go into more detail......
I'm just sayin'... Is he Bruce Wayne or is he this guy. I don't think we can ever really know, unless he himself comments on this thread. I'm not really all that interested in knowing either Just a random thought that crossed my mind and that I wanted to share with the community. I don't really every have much to say in the dream boards, as you can see by my post count.
and what does any of that have to do with marlon brando :S
cyanogen quote
"Im am you father"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6sj89xgnl4
Marlon Brando, THE Godfather, who will just as soon buy you dinner as blow your brains out, but "with all due respect". Come on guy!
Only one will "make you an offer you can't refuse"
Some say he naturally faces magnetic north, and that all of his legs are hydraulic... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.
Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.
Some say he's wanted by the CIA, and that he sleeps upside down like a bat... all we know is, he's called Cyanogen.
Haha, the Stig, I love it!
Some say that if he ate a sausage his brain would implode, and that he is wanted in 251 countries for indecent exposure, all we know is, he's called Cyanogen...
Some say that his genitals are on upside down, and that if he could be bothered with it, he could crack the Da Vinci Code in 43 seconds.
Some say he knows two facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong.
If you have five dollars and Cyanogen has five dollars, Cyanogen has more money than you.
He once had an awkward moment, just to see what it felt like.
Even though he's had sex with every woman on the planet, he is still a virgin. Nobody takes ANYTHING from cyanogen.
Let's avoid the Chuck Norris references >.<
I like the magnetic north one though
This thread sure has taken an awkward turn... lol but I guess I didn't quite know what to expect.
Some say he isn’t machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve.

Weird attractions anyone?

For some weird reason Chernobyl district is attracting me like a magnet. It even came to my dreams several times!
I was growing up in Ukraine, about 65 miles away from the Chernobyl. My mom once told me that teachers forced them to go wash radioactive trains from Chernobyl, if they refused - their exam scores would be Fails. I was reading something last night, and found some interesting info, which would be very educative for all of you:
http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter1.html
I believe that she have done great job! She rode her bike all over that place, and it was done years before the "gates of Chernobyl" were finally open!
Anyone else have very weird attractions?

Most of my ex girlfriends to be honest!
I think that is a common attraction.
I really want to go to Pripyat. My life wont be complete without going there.
BTW, I was born in Poland, but I'm stuck in the States so Pripyat is pretty far.
(For anyone thinking what Pripyat is, it's the city where all the workers of Chernobyl worked, and the nearest city to Chernobyl, google it)
Another thing I want to see which is closer from home is the Freedom Tunnel. It's a train tunnel in NYC which was closed in the 80s and was home to bums and graffiti artists.
It is a remarkable story. Not so much that there was a nuclear accident, although that is remarkable in itself, but the stories of the people involved in the aftermath and the survivors who lived through a nightmare.
Pripyat would be a unique place to visit

I've got a mate that went to Auschwitz and it was seriously about 2 years before he stopped talking about it. EVERY time I saw him the conversation would end up there.
It obviously had a MASSIVE impact on him.

i love whats wholesome and good , because i know what that means , i wouldnt call it weird tho , but very rare indeed
Aaaa, yes, Auschwitz, I should go there, being that I am from Poland, and the camp was IN Poland. lol. Now it's made into a museum, so its not THAT bad...unless you mean your mate was there during WWII.

Lol, oversized watches look ridiculous. Better than i had as a kid though:
They will never top the awesomeness that was the original casio calculator watch...
Id' be a little concerned about being beaten up for being such a massive geek if someone noticed me checking emails on my watch

I know what you mean. It wouldn't last a minute around here without some chav chewing your arm off to get it. Nobody has ever made a play for my Tag though, which i used to worry about. Now i'd use it as excuse to get the newer model that's in the picture i posted before. (Or an Omega...but the one i like is ~£3000)

I used to wreck and lose these things so much that I stopped wearing watches by the time I was in 7th grade. The worst were the ones that were labeled "Water resistant up to 10 meters!" I would wear it in the pool the first chance I got. Ruined.

Yeah, their marketing department were lying bastards! I lost many a good Casio like this.
The best one i had was back ~1984. It has a side scrolling space invaders style game on it. I used to trade people in class one go for a pack of crisps at lunchtime.

WTF did I sign into twitter

So, I'm sitting here having a coffee, grooving a little because this DJ always spins up the best grooves, and I decide - sure, goto twitter one time. I never do, and I was just reminded why. I've had 3 accounts there since they started - logged in maybe 3 or 4 times, nothing there at all for me.
But, you know - I go there, curiosity, whatever. News...
First thing I see - M&M's, yaaaay, a piece of candy, represented in advertising by some cartoons, seeks to become more inclusive and represent society better.
wut?
Are they fuk'n serious? Are people serious? Some folks making a candy feel bad because their fictional candy characters don't represent everybody? Wut? THey don't feel anything - somebody cried a little that one time and a company decided to try to make them feel better? SO they would keep buying candy?
Are they fuk'n serious? People (lol, people) are actually talking about this. They feel a way - have a thing to say?
Are they fuk'n serious?
Then, I see that Meat Loaf died.
Oof. That guy - that debut album - me trying to croon with him in the rumpus room on full blast....I was 10 when that album came out, bought it a year or 2 later, my 2nd album - played it 'till my fingers bled, was the summer of '69...wait
see what I did there? Art has meaning. The word, language, commonality - that sh*t has meaning. Meat loaf taught me stuff my parents couldn't even spell, sang to me, with me, for me, about me. Put a little sense where there was none, made my ****ty life a little better by putting heartache in a place it couldn't do (more) damage. He didn't write those songs, Jim Steinman did. Might as well have been John and Paul, Elton and Bernie...
Here's to Meat Loaf one time, and Ellen and JIm, for putting it down, making the sun shine brighter.

Always get a kick out of seeing that guy'. If I weren't so ugly we would be twins!
