The method of Time Travel is explained in the Series if I remember correctly. You've got to remember with Star Trek, especially the original series, most of their basis for stuff is based on how people thought these things worked back in the 1950's and 1960's. Yeah by today's standards it seems pretty silly but back when it came out Star Trek was a rather hardcore Sci Fi series.
Might as well bring this back as well with another blog update:
The Adjustment Bureau: Nothing mind blowing but worth a viewing. Entertaining love story.
Unknown: Unknown is bollocks.
Source Code: The best film of the year so far. Seriously. Go fucking see it.
Your Highness: Could have been something truly great, but way too many flat jokes hurt it.
Kill The Irishman: Only saw it because it was in Cleveland. Ray Stevenson was the best thing, as the director watched every gangster movie since 1985 and stole all the actors. I mean ALL OF THEM. Decent watch.
Last Wednesday I watched Tron: Legacy on DVD.
And it was a really great movie. It looks fantastic, although the story's a bit cliched in some parts. In some cases it's like the original all over again! And the often constant switching between letterboxed display and fullscreen display is kinda annoying. But still, the movie's great, definitely the best movie released in 2010 (that I watched)
Have you seen Hannah yet? You have to. I loved it. Great music, great action, beautifully shot.Quote:

I just came to this thread to say that I just saw Hanna and FUCKING LOVED IT!
Hanna was better than Source Code. An extremely thin margin, but Hanna wins out. Fucking great. Just....fuck!
"I caught breakfast!"
It's just funny because we had to decide on either Hannah or Source Code, and we picked Hannah simply because it started earlier. Again, I loved it. Eric Bana has to be in more ass-kicking roles. And the actress who played Hannah was intense, funny, and emotional. Liked it a lot.
Of course, I still have to see Source Code.
My last movies were Tron Legacy (too generic and kind of boring) and Aliens (the second of the series as old as I am and still amazing)
I watched the remake of "On The Beach". I believe technically its a mini series but I watched all three hours in one sitting. While it wasn't perfect and had a few flaws overall it was great and scared the shit out of me.
D3: The Mighty Ducks
It was on TV - that's all I needed.
I agree, it's kind of silly, but very fun, and it has so many great quotes. Bones: Dialysis?! What is this the Dark Ages?Quote:

It is a complicated crime thriller in which 2 lesbians steal a large sum of money from the mob. What I really liked about it, was the fact that the femme fatale cliche is turned upside down in the film. When we are first introduced to Violet (Jennifer Tilly) the camera starts at her feet and slowly tilts upward to her face, just like in so many noir films. So we assume that she is going to be a typical female archetype; however, she is actually a far more layered character who constantly surprised me throughout the film. I would rank 'Bound' as the second best Wachowski film, behind only the first 'Matrix' movie.
I saw Blade Runner in the theatre this night. Outstanding.
One of my all-time favorites, wish I could see that one in theaters. What a movie!Quote:
