I have a 40" TV, but watch over half of my films on my MacBook, mostly in bed. It's like curling up to a book. The films that need to be seen on the "big screen" need a cinema, not a plasma. Looking forward to the tablet offerings this year.
Speaking of nebulous accusations, did I miss the exposé on the mainstream-medias attacks? I've read three recent articles about poor G.I.Joes bad press, including two by this author, and they combined have sited a single example - a USAToday article. I'm not sure why you'd expect differently from that lazy newspaper, but I certainly do from reporters aware of the importance of sourced information. C'mon at least live up to your own sited standards.
Paramount is the hero for making a disaster, then pushing it with a $150 million ad budget and the mainstream-media is at fault for "manufactured" negative reviews? Interesting.
I'd sure like Palm to continue to be a player, but even if some here like the Pres feature set, how is it possible to think this is even pointing to enough to reclaim that position? Personally, this isn't even a Storm-killer... let along an Android/G1 or iPhone one. Fine, but they need for more than that at this point. I was actually more excited about the Folio.
Death Proof = astonishing piece of filmmaking. Is this a joke?
I waited long for this, but it's already been passed up in the form of Google Apps/Zoho Office/Zimbra Suite.
"But you can certainly believe in ID without believing God made the world in six days. The film says that this misunderstanding is why so many scientists are so virulently anti-ID."

Yes, you can believe in ID without believing in the creation myth of a particular religion, but arguing scientists are so virulently anti-ID for that reason is ridiculous. Even the religious tend not to believe at least one (and usually every other) of the creation myths. ID = creationism, just not necessarily Christian, if that point matters to you. It seems a minor one to me. It's about evidence.

As Dawkins regularly points out, creationism/ID, is even statistically less likely than evolution. It's not a solution.

Lightness? This film is really no lighter than Chungking Express, though it is potentially inappropriately light if you're choosing to discuss some of the subjects that are here. Drinking yourself to death - what a riot! The real problems though are the horrid dialog (Norah is only as bland as the words she's unfortunately fed) and the general lazy structure (two hop-skips then back - what a love letter tour!). Please defend those. I think this film is far worse than the softball reviews so far. The 'mixed' reviews haven't focused only on lightness though. This whole premise is wrong (though it did give the excuse to mention Fritz Lang and John Ford).
I know these lists tend to be complied by those with short films histories (and overly sci-fi saturated), but "The Third Man" has about the most depressing ending long shot I've seen. The anti-"Casablanca".
As a WKW fan, Blueberry Nights is a disaster. Rocchi softballed that one.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
