Buckshot, Matzoh balls are made from matzoh meal. You can buy it in a container, like oatmeal: http://www.manischewitz.com/assets/images/rec_MatzoMeal.jpg Or in boxes, pre-measured: http://forkmylife.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/dsc008021.jpg?w=500&h=375 I've found that I prefer making the matzoh...

OK, so here's what's going to happen: 1) I win the lottery 2) I buy a couple of planes for you to finish 3) I bake some bananabanana bread 4) You make some coffee 5) I come by, with the bananabanana bread 6) We have some bananabanana bread and coffee, and go up in in a boxcar, or one of your radial-...

And raise that by a few loaves of BananaBanana Bread

Sorry, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to break out the Slightly-Vegetarian Matzoh Ball Gumbo...with added Chinese peppers!

JMCKEY, IIRC, there's a mention in "Shadows In Flight" that the Hive Queen was full of s*** when she spoke to Ender about how it was "all a great, big misunderstanding." I find it hard to believe that after your soldiers have been fighting a bunch of space-faring aliens (in space...

From that article: Boycott-Thor.com put forth the following indictment of the publisher: Marvel is headed by radical left-wingers who insert their ideologies and agendas into their comic books and movies.In February 2010, the TEA Party movement was viciously attacked in an issue of Captain America. ...

And let's not forget Idris Elba in Thor:

People think that humans are ready to run nuclear power plants? Hell! We can't even keep from freaking out over skin color.

Holy crap!

Don't look at me!

(and let's not forget that probably this same group of idiots were upset when Rue turned out to be black, in "Hunger Games")

DK,

Let's see some pics of this Battle School!

I thought the sign was scary, then I read some of the comments. How are there still people like this in the 21st century?? Because they receive encouragement and tacit support by one of the two main political parties in the US. Or, put another way: because they're idiots, and they're egged on by ot...

I do love me a good hamburger, though. With cheese and bacon.

Are you saying that all comes from...animals?!?!?

Well, I *AM* only about an hour north of DC!

I work (and live) about 10-15 minutes away from BWI airport. Actually, I work about 5 minutes away from BWI airport!

(I was kidding, you know...)

Cool!

I just called Sam Walsh and Lisa Kelly, and told them what a nerd you are.

Here's a modern-day HUD in a protective (motorcycle) helmet:

I have it from a reliable source (and I am reaching out to a second reliable source for additional confirmation) that Summit IS planning on releasing Ender's Game in 3D. More as I find out. BTW, my first source also said (as I did) that the alleged 3D effects in the "pre-trailer" were an &...

EF, In space, all is relative. There is no way to know if you are moving at 25K mph against a stationary background, or if you are stationary, and the "background" is moving 25K mph with respect to you. If two ships are travelling at 25K (or 100K) mph w/r/t each other, a slight push off to...

That's true. [goes to double check my avatar...]

Radial engines!?!! Very cool!

But what plane do you have that has a PAIR of radial engines?

Or, you could read my chapter in "The Authorized Ender Companion".... I do like how the Luna base uses solar energy. Lots and lots of solar energy. I also note how the Jukes (spelling? I'm listening to the book as audio books) are not just some pure-evil-villain, but are also responsible f...

I just finished reading (well, listening to the audio book) of Earth Unaware , and I'm about 1/3 of the way in to Earth Afire . They're both a lot of fun! I am having some slight problems with the physics, of course (though, overall, Johnston & Card are pretty good with it all!) Just what, exact...

What he says...

I'm hoping to be wearing one of these: http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/livepreview.aspx?doc_sig=2608563622&hash=ef9904&width=137&height=300&language_id=1&render_tech=hybridgdipwpf Detail: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k216/boothby171/Enders%20Game/card_egf4e_1_zpsdfc468d8.jpg

lol would that be an insult or a compliment?

Actually, it would be both.

I have to say it: You made an asp of yourself?

Take off every zig, dude!

I just went and played the game. I must have been one of the first 40, since I am also in Dragon Army. But I noticed something very interesting. Someone please go there and see if they can back me up on this: If you go here and play the Game (it IS a Game, you know), and look at the moving backgroun...

Bean's past has nothing to do with the story they have to tell. A film will never be as long as the book it comes from. Taking the assumption that the film starts with Ender's Game, then strengthens Bean's character to act as a foil for Ender, you're starting with a fairly long story to begin with. ...

My prediction is that they won't spend any time at all on Bean's past in Rotterdam. No images. A sentence or two referencing it, at most. It will have to be something that you bring with you to the film; hopefully they won't "disallow" it with the screenplay.

So is Ender's Game Alive an abridged version of EG? A combination of EG and ES? Something else entirely?

Sounds like fun! Need any extra voices?

And welcome to P-Web!!!

How is that? All I did was point out a few physics-based inconsistencies with the poster.

Those guys had every opportunity to get a top of the line technical advisor; it's not my fault if they didn't.

There's something off-center about the "copy" in those posters. Almost as if they were farmed out to a generic ad agency with no stake in the film.

Or that could simply be my inner fan-boy showing its "it will never be good enough" streak.

Interesting, but I've seen them before...a lot of them (as one would expect) read eerily similar to Darian's posters. And "Anti-Gravity Combat"??? Really? How about "Zero-Gravity Combat." I've got to go and write/produce/direct my own science fiction movie before all these idiot ...

Having grown up on Lawn Guyland, and later in upstate New Yawk, I hate to break it to you all, but there is only ONE "the City." At a diner in the mid-west, once, the waitress asked me if I wanted a coke. Since I wanted a Coke, I said, "Sure!" She then asked, "What type? Ora...
