Post by: giZmo350 on January 15, 2012, 09:43:40 PM
I'm watching the NFL playoff games.
The Greenbay / Giants game should be a good one! :)

I think you should have stopped before IV :(
First three are great. Particularly, the first Star Trek movie is awesome. Even today, it's beautiful, and the Enterprise's ambient is so clean with those 70's lines...

In the other hand, it's a saga that makes me feel very, very sad. I always dreamed of space and adventure as a kid, thanks to Star Trek, and I also learn the importance or knowledge and curiosity with the series/films. It made me dream of a future where mankind would be living for creativity, exploration and science. But this future is unlikely, as capitalism finally triumphed over any other type of society.

I have the morning off so I'm watching the tv series Rome. Damn that's a good tv show!   :swords:

This morning i am also watching Star Trek Enterprise. So much better than the recent movie.

You obviously don't know much about Star Trek. You should know that from about 2030 until 2050 there will be WWIII. So you can expect things to continue to turn to crap until that happens, and then in the year 2061 the Vulcans will land in Montana and Humans will then switch to a Marxism based society. Talk about ignorance... :rolleyes:

Relaxing mostly and recovering from an operation (I had one wisdom teeth extracted couple of days ago, it didn't go smoothy).

Watching the gf play Civ 5.

Oh also installed HDD to the optical drive bay of one my MacBook Pros (OS boots from the 120GB SSD). Bought two of those conversion kits from HK, will also convert the work MBP later on.

Ouch. It can be a tricky procedure, IIRC there's a facial nerve which runs very close to the jaw at the point where they have to operate.

In the UK, it's common for dental pain to induce secondary financial pain :/ A few years ago I had to have root canal and a crown due to chipping a tooth and not noticing (was the rear face) until it got infected. I can't complain about the quality of the work, but it sure wasn't cheap.

Anyhoo I'm just sitting back and listening to classic Genesis (wait, why did I specify? That's the only Genesis, there wasn't anything afterwards) whilst I touch up and file the week's Internet image stash...

Problem for me was that I had an existing infection that caused considerable extra pain. Additionally the local anesthetic had little effect on me (it has worked before so it was somewhat puzzling), and the surgeon had to inject me 8 times (2-3 being the typical dosage and 11 being the absolute safety limit). It still was extremely painful.

I could have gone through the public heath care system but I can easily afford the private sector these days. It wasn't cheap for sure, but at least I didn't have to wait for ages.

As Raj said in "The Big Bang Theory", Star Trek V is the standard against which all badness is measured. ;-)

I'm with you on this one. I thought Trek V was just an embarrassment. I did enjoy the 2009 reboot, although I think like most action movies today, the sound FX and music was too loud for the dialog. (That might have helped Trek V ;-) )  
BTW, there's another film in the rebooted Trek in the mill.

Post by: bloodline on January 16, 2012, 12:11:23 AM
Yeah, it's a shame V was so bad... I wanted to watch undiscovered country... Never mind, the gf also enjoyed the 2009 reboot, and I too am looking forward to the next one :)

Karl Urban and Simon Pegg were great!
Title: Re: What's everyone doing while viewing A.Org today?
Post by: commodorejohn on January 16, 2012, 12:13:34 AM
STV was indeed awful. Trek '09...I wasn't impressed. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't very good. Just a big empty-headed action flick that happens to be set in the Star Trek universe, that's all. Didn't have any shred of nuance or subtextual depth to the script, which is something all the good Trek movies had - even freaking Generations tried for it - and anyway the direction was just spastic enough to make the action less enjoyable than it should've been.

I wish Hollywood would wake the hell up and remember that action movies and good writing are not mutually exclusive...

Karl Urban is Deforest Kelly, though.

Pegg made a great Scott, different to Dooan, but great... The real star was Karl Urban though who played Bones somehow more DeForrest than DeForrest himself, quite amazing! :)

Wow! I didn't expect an upset like that! 66 yards running for Rodgers.
I guess the Packers just didn't want it bad enough.
Looking forward to the Championships. :)

Were they injecting u with Lidocaine?

Do u mean that even after 8 injections u could still feel pain?

Did the tooth pain radiate out into your face, neck and/or ears?
