    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    Its interesting you say that, you say you never watched any series, or any previous movies, yet ''hate the franchise''. I don't see how thats fair to the franchise, especially if all you know about it is from pop references which will inevitably present a less than accurate portrayal, and mostly...

    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    Exactly, they could have at least spared a couple of seconds to explain it was shielded and the only way to disable the shield was by destroying the ship, which would explain why everybody targeted the ship rather than the drill itselt, which is what is causing the damage. That and how Kirk...

    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    I'm a couple of months late, but having just watched it, my thoughts... Good film overall, but as others have already pointed out with the FO3 analogy, its an action flick set in a Star Trek universe. Plot wise, what bothered me the most was the massive coincidence of Kirk finding the...

    What is your favorite Pop/Soda

    Funny, in portuguese, that means ''changer'', or somebody who changes often.

    Martial Arts

    The Krav Maga instructor I go to makes a point of training you in unequal situations. That is, being jumped from behind, fighting usually more than one opponent, fighting when protecting somebody... 'breaking' a circle, which involves simply getting out and then repositioning yourself -...

    Zombie Crawl

    Well, in that case Resident Evil also counts as having infected people who will, eventually, die of starvation. If we stick to the 'classical' definition of zombie then it must be undead, and it must want to eat you (preferably the brains). But thats too conservative :twisted:

    Zombie Crawl

    If they had a 28 days later style zombie crawl then I would be interested. Fast running zombies that vomit in your face, now THATS scary!

    Martial Arts

    Yes, wouldn't it be beautiful if there was a martial arts/hand to hand combat system developed exclusively for fighting when in an intoxicated state? :D As far as I know, some Krav Maga academies use smoke, dim lighting and loud urban music to simulate 'dance floor/nights out' brawls, but I...

    Australian politicians discussing violent videogames

    Can somebody give me the gist of it? I can't access youtube from here.

    Martial Arts

    Yeah im taking Krav Maga next year when I get back to England. Its a no nonsense combat skill, so no kata's and all that (Something I hated in Karate when I was a kid). Its also quite brutal in that they teach you anywhere on the body is a target, and that includes the groin, eyes and neck...

    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    The whole point of the series was having extra movies lol.... the only really good one was the third one, but the other two were passable. The animated series aren't that bad actually. But I hope like after the 100 episodes they give it a break. Anything over that is too much. Then we have...

    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    Welcome to franchise fatigue, when a good franchise destroys itself from within. Mind you, Star Trek was well on the way already. Hopefully Star Wars will not go that far.

    Tattoo's

    All the way round the neck would have been much more effective... or at the base of the penis if you have the balls :twisted:

    Brazil could make Russian new-generation fighters

    Hahaha... yeah what reducing Paraguay's population by half as pretty badass lol... thats what happens when you get on the wrong side though. To be fair, of all the BRIC countries, Brazil is the only one without strong geopolitical concerns. Our neighbours are all weak (maybe Venezuela is...

    Tattoo's

    Yeah, thats one of the worse tatoos I've seen. Also, the last thing you want when getting a tatoo is asking for other peoples opinions. The tatoo has to please you and you only, you are the one who will live with it for the rest of your life. So think carefully, very carefully, before you...

    UN Diplomats Walkout During Ahmadinejad Speech

    Im not saying anything is right or wrong, this is something people seem to be associating with me for some reason. I said the claim of Israel to palestine because of the ancestral link is invalid, that is what I said. Their presence in that area in the last 50 years is 'right' insofar as they...

    UN Diplomats Walkout During Ahmadinejad Speech

    Weak points? 50 years is less than a life time. 2000 years is not. I don't see how you cant see there is a difference there. You basically said winning the war had given them the right to stay there. Not to delve too far into speculation and philosophy, but is it possible to 'lecture'...
