In short? Horrifyingly bad, and not in the "so bad it's good" direction.
It got a few cool scenes, however.

Okay. :lol: Didn't even notice it running in a few German cinemas, thus only very few reviews to compare here.

Same direction, past the local maximum.

See xkcd 653.

And I'll guess that most of the cool scenes are shown in the trailer?

Flippy the burger-flipping robot that started work this week in a California restaurant has been forced to take a break because it was too slow.
The robot was installed at a Cali Burger outlet in Pasadena and replaced human cooks.

I have not even seen the trailer, but knowing that the space station Salyut 7 ended up crashing in Argentina:shifty: (and in the Argentina of the 90's:leaving, I imagine it must be a horror movie.
Bah, anyone from our country would tell you that this, or that moment, of our history was bad. The conclusion: they are all bad.

*slips and falls down the stairs to The Basement*

Come on, you also lost a war against Britain, but have more football world champion titles than they have. It could be worse.

Well, I thought this would belong to the Basement, but it's too funny and lighthearted. An acquiantance of mine is, apparently, a flat-earther. A very convinced one, none the less, which is weird, since he's otherwise a pretty respectable guy. So I asked him how would the Coriolis force would work on a flat earth. He said that it's just random air currents , and the opposite directions of rotation are just an illusion, since, if earth were transparent and you'd look down to the southern hemisphere, you'd see the cyclones spinning clockwise :lol:

Steph, don't engage with conspiracy theorists. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. :rofl:

Are you sure he is not just a troll?

Are you sure he is not just a troll?

I'm fond of the phrase "never underestimate stupidity" but I refuse to believe that so many people are dumb enough to believe the Earth is flat. A significant portion of them must be trolls.

Then again, history is replete with masses of stupid people...

At the end of the month this thread will be 10 years old!

 

[Linguofreak]

And OF itself is about 10 years old. It's hard to believe we've left the M6 forums so far behind.

Er, well, it's hard to believe in the "remember when?" sense. In the "does this service have even one nine of uptime" sense, it is hard to believe we tolerated M6 as long as we did.

Here's to the next decade being even better.

I can only quote Mark Twain there:

A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots.

Old news.

And the progress that add-ons developers have made, and especially martins with the development of Orbiter, is impressive.

Oh, and this also looks beautiful:

... among many other excellent projects that are currently being developed, and for which, rivers of electronic ink run in the forum.

I seem to have the bad habit of putting most of the meat-related stuff in the freezer. You can't imagine the horror of coming home, aching for some fries with bacon, and discovering that the bacon cubes are frozen solid. Sure, it's fryable nonetheless, but it makes those loud popping sounds and you have to cover the pan if you don't want to spray the whole kitchen with oil.

In other news, you know a band is good when you hear a new song of theirs and you think it's from their early albums and start wondering how the hell you haven't heard it before . yup, The Red and Black from Maiden. Though I'm subjective here, they were the first metal band I ever listened to (more like devoured any album of theirs that I could get my hands on) .Sure, they've had style changes, but they still manage to sound unmistakable.
