Wasn't able to go up the TV tower, though. Didn't have enough time... That was one of the things I really didn't want to miss in Berlin. Be carefure with the credit cards, though. I got confused at their strange orientation. "Huh? Why is it not working?" I must have tried at least 10 times to get the stupid card in!

I decided to try it out at McDonalds, so i went there by bike, and ordered a Cheeseburger and a small Coke using that big touchscreen thing. When the things were ready, i noticed the cup for my coke wasn't inside a bag, so i asked the employee for a larger bag, and he comes up with a holder . I decided not to ask again. At that moment i also realized i left the credit card in the touchscreen thing, so quickly pulled it back out again, and at that moment everyone was looking at me weird because they probably thought i stole it. Anyways, i went back to my bicycle to go back home, and now we have a little bit of a problem, see i have this thing on the front of my bike were a basket is supposed to be fitted on, but i don't have a basket. I tried it with bags before, and bags, even the small ones lock right into place without falling, now however, i have a cup of coke and a holder that i have to put on there, that will make everything unstable. So i just put it on there and just went for driving carefully instead of finding a better position for it. And yes, shortly after, i dropped my cup of coke, in the middle of the road while driving. So what do i do now? Do i leave it there and forget about, and risk getting it thrown at me by one of those diehard anti-litter pals, or just run towards it and put it in the trash can like an idiot? Well, i decided i would put it in the trash like an idiot, you know, doing good things to save the world i geuss. After that i went home and ate my burger while reading AtomicRockets. The lesson of today: You can just cycle with one hand idiot, oh and don't for get your card!

Really? I hate that movie almost as much as I hate "Starship Troopers" (they should not have been allowed to use the name). Much of the look of it is OK, but paul is too old, the thopters are horrifically bad, pretty much any scene where they are shooting... yuck.

I like starship troopers too, though the caveat is that I saw it first at an age where all I wanted/expected was a brightly coloured action flick with shooting and aliens. Which, to be honest, it delivers. Im aware of the controvercy and junk, but to a 14 year old in 1997, it was awesome. 26 minutes ago, TheSaint said: These days I hold zero hope that a Dune movie will bear any resemblance to the book.

And theres the concept of "development hell" and "development limbo" where film rights will be forcibly retained merely to stop anyone else making it because they might want to make it maybe, some point in the future. You might be pleased to know that Villeneuve has said that he intends his film to be very different to Lynch's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
