Re: Yes, I know Google is my friend, but I'd rather ask you.

I have some CALCOMP III Tablets, with wireless 16-button pucks. I have 3 tablets, but only ONE cable--and it's a 9-pin serial cable. You'd have to track down some software and drivers for it. Here's a typical image of the puck: http://www.gtcocalcomp.com/support/spare/images/19577000007%20Cordless%2...

Hmmm...maybe not the Launchie barracks, but certainly the "Army" barracks: Armies were larger than launch groups, and the army barracks room was larger, too. It was long and narrow, with bunks on both sides; so long, in fact, that you could see the curvature of the floor as the far end ben...

I assume you mean "Run parallel to the axis of rotation of the Battle School Habitation Ring" as opposed to "run along the perimeter of the Habitation Ring"

The point is, for every one of us, there's a lot more Twolight fans out there who haven't found their way here.

To be honest, after the huge crater in the road that the film production just tore through, it would be good if the production company gave out a little more info, don't you think? Trailer or no trailer. These guys have a very small, but very dedicated fan-base. We're it. Those other "franchise...

My personal opinion: They're not. By the way, what is a "movie that is 60% effects"??? On a 120 minute movie, that's 72 minutes of effects. Note that even a simple wire removal is considered an effect. Typically, films are discussed in terms of how many shots are effects shots (subject to ...

Re: So long, Ender's Game!

Do any of us know who gets to select what trailers are associated with what film releases? Is it the producer(s)? Is it the theater?

But it wouldn't be the first time that a production company released a trailer for a film that never appeared--or appeared (unintentionally) years later
