George Lucas. People may pan his movies as bad (post-1977), but everyone will still go see it.
You have to at least mention George Lucas in that category. Again - you know nothing else about the movies, so you don't know - he could be going the "Radioland Murders" or "THX 1138" way, but everyone will assume "Star Wars" and go see it. period.
Tmobile had been the android pioneer, kinda surprised they dont have any beefier android hardware coming out for the holidays. Don't have Verizon's network and user base, but with the Project Dark pricing, would be mighty compelling and Verizon's doing a lot of marketing work for them with Droid = Android.
Agreed - this comes down to the promise of Android 2.0, or being stuck on 1.6. If it can have 2.0, then 528Mhz vs 550Mhz... (i know the camera's better, hardware keyboard, etc...)
To me that scene adds to Indy's character. It show's that not only is he rough and tumble, but smart. Not just knowledgeable about ancient cultures, but street smart and then some. Kinda like the almost as silly use of the knight's massive several hundred pound crypt as a shield from surface fire in Last Crusade.

I talked more about it in a whole blog post here: http://nicholsonrecords.com/paul/2009/10/indiana-jones-…yes-it-belongs/
I still find it funny that people get so bent out of shape about the fridge scene or the monkey/vine scene in Crystal Skull because it didn't fit in the trilogy.

Do none of you remember Indy using a rubber dingy to survive a drop from an airplane into the mountains (and subsequent safe journey through a series of convenient tunnels, etc). Or surviving a fight with a big Nazi brute near a taxiing airplane while surrounded by HUNDREDS of other Nazis ready to shoot him the moment he won the fight?

It's not like the Indiana Jones series is meant to be realistic. It was based on ridiculous, over the top serials from the 1930's. Crystal Skull absolutely fit right in to the mold. Of course it is stupid that Indiana Jones could survive the nuclear blast (much less the preceding fight at his age). But he's freaking Indiana Jones. That's the POINT!
How stupid is this that the device itself runs Android, but they only have ebook reader software available for iPhone, Blackberry, and PCs...not Android phones. [slaps forehead]
Pretty much all of M. Night's movies belong on this list, especially Sixth Sense. Only ones that don't are maybe Signs and Lady in the Water.
Actually, Pixar already has one live-action movie in the pipeline, so just because you want Marvel movies to be live action doesn't preclude Pixar from tackling one.
Obviously either a fan or a weak promo video. Has the same problem the original movie did: Anyone ever actually used an SD-based camcorder? They don't work like tape and cut back and forth between takes when you "record over" a previous clip. You delete, you record new. Period. Considering Abrams is supposed to be 'mr. attention to detail', that ruined the whole movie for me.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
