Re: "I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE AND I MUST TALK ABOUT IT" Thread

This sequence, when the two transport ships collide: http://www.bidnessetc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Ender-More-Sad.gif Was it just me, or did some of you guys feel that the jeesh all reacted as if they knew they had just killed people?

Re: "I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE AND I MUST TALK ABOUT IT" Thread

What do you mean "just that kind of person"? I haven't even started in on the bad physics in the movie, yet, or even the screwups in the layout of the battle school.

Re: PwebCon/Gatherings/Shindigs/Meet-Ups

Darian, Noah and I had a great time at a so-so movie (my opinion; your mileage may vary). Darian and I did each have a Guinness to take the edge off before seeing it, though (Noah was busy signing movie contracts for his songs, or something silly, and so was late to the party). I, for one, did NOT w...

Re: "I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE AND I MUST TALK ABOUT IT" Thread

I'm giving it a π out of 10. I'll tell you why, once I've seen it a second time. The battle school and command school sets were imaginative, and I really did like the Battle Room, but the directing was uninspired. Pacing was bad, transitions through time were poorly presented. Dialogue was hackneyed...

I think "Legal Shield" is specific to the US; I don't know what might be in place in the UK.

Short of legal action (with its concomitant problems), it sounds like you have things well in hand!
