Comment Re:Why I stopped going to movies (Score 1) 183

Soap Operas did not suffer from evil twin or amnesia stories. In the same way, "genre"/"pop culture"/comic book/star * movies lend themselves to the fantastical plot-lines like multiverse, resurrection, and time-travel. Where else are you going to put it? Farrelly brothers comedies? That's how you get Hot Tub Time Machine.

You're crazy if you base ANYthing off of a screenrant article. They're awful. Most of their articles are just one-off op-eds based on zero interviews or quotes. They realized a few years ago people were filtering out their "screenrant original" articles and stopped labeling them as such to boost clicks, it got so bad.

Worse than that, they (looking at you Victoria Alonso) pushed the VFX/CGI people to the brink at the last minute for bargain basement rates which showed, on-screen... AND used the completed shots as storyboards that should have been paper at best, or animatics (pre-rendered wireframes) at worst.

Comment Invisible Man did it! (Score 1) 61

The Sci-Fi Channel series Invisible Man (Vincent Ventresca) did something like that. The invisibility mechanism (gland) he had implanted let off a toxin of sorts when he used the invisibility. So it needed an enzyme shot to clear out when it built up in his blood too much. The tattoo would show the levels without them having to take blood samples. How cool.

And how do you test? Can his test method vary from yours? Is that OK with you? Please?

He obviously is OK with "testing" in real-world scenarios which apparently give pretty usable data. I don't hear anyone bitching about the Falcon 9's landing most of time, these days. Remember how many of those blew up or missed their landing barges?

Not *really* trolling. Not fully, anyway. I was reacting partially to the ranting of the post, but apart from that, I do not recall being told we're going to be reducing our need for electricity. Between crypto, AI, and increased cloud services across the board, it's been clear for years that replacing incandescent bulbs with LED's wasn't going to alter our monthly bills downward, long-term, or in any major way.

Adding regulations for environmental or whatever other reasons isn't going to make it cheaper, either. I don't know of an industry that has been put under MORE regulation, and not charged accordingly, in relation to their bottom line, to offset the cost of compliance.
