If the cat has kittens, one of them can be Bart Jr.

That is what I am thinking. I mean Bruce is around 12 now. If he wants to be a world class fighter in multiple fighting disciplines by the time he is 25 he better start learning now I would think. Would she even need a warrant. They knew Gordon was missing for a long time after searching crime scenes. Presumably his car was in the parking lot or something. I would think she had probable cause to assume that a crime was in progress and/or an officer was in danger. And TV cop/lawyer shows have taught me that in a situation like that you don't need a warrant.

What kind of blows my mind is that the 5 actors in that movie took home 41 percent of all the revenue made off of that movie (assuming these are percentage of gross revenue, since I don't think anyone at that level is a big enough a sucker to take a percentage of the profits). When you figure that the theaters take a cut (especially in a prestige movie like that that would expect to stick around in theatres for awhile, rather than have a huge opening weekend, and the fact that the studio has to pay for promotion, it doesn't leave a lot of money for for the studio.

God I hope not, although I am liking this show. I have only read one Inhumans comic series (the Marvel Knights run from 1998) but a movie with Black Bolt and the royal family I think has potential (with the right director and the right lead) to be awesome. Plus by the time that movie comes out, the show (assuming it is still on) it would be into season 6. I am not sure how much more they would need to tell where they would need a whole movie, after 5 full seasons of TV.

That makes sense I guess. Although it makes me wonder how these deals work otherwise. I mean say I pitch a business to the sharks and someone invests. Say I am a 90% partner and they are a 10% partner. Assuming there is no royalty deal and they have no equal vote board seat or anything like that, what happens if the company takes off and starts making crazy profits. Instead of paying dividends what if I as the majority share holder, decide to pay out the CEO a bonus to myself and not give the shark anything. Is there anything that they could do?

I once read a non-fiction book about the CIA and how officers are sometimes given special briefcases for files. They are designed so that if you turn the key the right way they open. But if you turn the key the opposite way the case gets filled with kerosene and the case burns. I was confused about that scene with her and Khan in the car. Does she out rank him or something. Obviously he does not side with the Taliban, so why was he ok with a crazy shootout happening in the middle of his capital city?

That is sort of what I was thinking. I mean we aren't crazy about junk food, but we usually have some chips, some cookies and some ice cream in our house. If the chips were locked up and someone wanted an unhealthy snack they could always good for the cookies. Plus that container looked like it might only hold one container of ice cream or one smaller bag of chips. Someone would need like 4 or 5 of them to lock up all the junk food in their house. A better idea would be to make some of those baby type cupboard/fridge latches, and put those on an electronic timer, so you can lock up a whole cupboard at once.

Isn't that what spy satellites are for? For that matter what was stopping the US from shooting all five of those terrorist guys the second they had Saul safe? I would assume those guys would be on their kill list right. All in all I thought this was a good episode. A completely different show than what it was in season 1, but for this type of show it was pretty good.

But I would have to assume that these negotiations happen individually. And I would doubt that those numbers the actors received were the first offers made by the studios. If Bale and Cooper and Renner got more money I would have to assume it was how things were negotiated. The studio is under no obligation to give Jennifer Lawrence the same amount just out of the goodness of her heart (just because other actors negotiated for more), their only obligation is to their shareholders. If she wants more money it is up to her and her people to get it, and if she is not happy with what the studio is offering it is her choice to walk.

I wasn't talking about weapons. I was talking about countermeasures, the kind of things a military plane would have so that when missiles are fired they don't actually hit their intended target. Things like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff_%28countermeasure%29

That's sort of what I am thinking. I mean isn't that what you have an agent for? If your agent got you only 7% and Christian Bale's managed to get him 9% then his did a better job and you should find out why yours couldn't get you that much money. I don't expect the movie studios just to randomly give the stars more money out of the goodness of their hearts. If they had there way everyone would get 0% of the back end revenue.

Yea the two non-elims in a row and there being a final four with some random elimination at some random time kind of bugs. Especially since you know all 4 teams are going to be on the same flight to LA. That made me laugh. I mean Bertram Van Munster probably didn't come to them before the race and said something like "for the first 10 legs you guys are going to struggle but stay in it and keep the crowd going, then in leg 11 you will win, and in leg 12 you can do your finishing move on Jim and Misti and win the whole thing and the fans will go crazy. Oh and if Phil is not looking feel free to hit Adam or Bethany with a steel chair". Because unless he did it is totally not the same thing.

Nice episode. Even though I have been super critical of the show, Skye bursting out of that cocoon thing was really cool. Her having powers could be fun, even if she is playing a character created by (ugh!) Brian Michael Bendis. Although if Raina is Tigra then then really need to get Don Cheadle and Jeremy Renner on this show some how. Preferably War Machine can borrow one of Tony's Iron Man Suits and then can hang out with Bobbi. My only minor complaint was that I was surprised to find out that the bus didn't have any actual countermeasures for when missiles are fired then they wouldn't have to dump the escape pods. Also I was surprised to find out that Dum-Dum from SHIELD's last name is pronounced Doo-gan. For years I have always assumed it was pronounced Doug-an.

It was super obvious and super dumb. I mean considering that is exactly how the lady in the pilot died, you would think cops in their district especially would remember that when you knock on a door, don't stand directly in front of it. I was wondering about that too. At first I thought it might have been a Voight style illegal raid used to get people talking on phones they already had tapped. But then they showed that all the drugs ended up in evidence lock-up which means that they would have to have seized it by some legal way. Also I am pretty sure the tailgate of a pick up is not bullet proof, so those bullet holes that went into it probably should have hit somebody.

I didn't get that either. I mean if you own 10% of the company and dividends are paid out you get 10% of that money. Why would that need to specifically be spelled out. The only way I could think of that a company could screw with that was if say instead of paying out a dividend they said that the CEO (also the person owning 90% of the company) was getting some kind of performance bonus. I was also confused by the cheese lady. Would she really be allowed to call it cheese? Then again I live in Canada where Kraft Macaroni and Cheese has to be called Kraft Dinner because they are not legally allowed to call it cheese.

The only other time I have seen Comstat meetings shown on TV was on The Wire (season 3 I believe). Compared to those meetings it seemed that Olivia got off light. And I still don't understand the point of the Deputy Chief of SVU. Does he over see any other areas of NYPD. Otherwise based on the number of cops in Manhattan SVU (and the fact that they are always on call) and their being 5 bureaus, he is a deputy chief overseeing at most 20 detectives and 5 supervisors. I did like the episode though. Nice that it was a sex crime and they had to do actual detective work. Plus Carisi in the box getting the guy to admit to all those other rapes and clear those cases was cool. Also why was the guy called the "Pattern 17" Rapist. What does pattern 17 even mean?

Isn't that exactly what happened when Wendy ended up getting forcibly shot up by Jax? Didn't she threaten to go to the cops or get a lawyer? Even she would have to know that the drugs were a warning and next time she would be dead.

Sons of the Sons of Anarchy could have potential. I would be curious to see how Sutter portrays life in the 2030's. SAMCRO: Now with flying motorcycles. That said he probably does feel that his wife would have no trouble playing Gemma in her 20's. Also back to the episode, how nice of Chibs to shoot Happy in the forearm. I mean it is not like you need your arm or hand to do things like ride a motorcycle. Would be hilarious if it was revealed that the gun shot wound left Happy with permanent damage and he was never able to ride again and was kicked out of SAMCRO.

Just finished watching it, it wasn't terrible, just stupid. And considering I wasn't expecting too much that wasn't too bad. If they could have made it shorter it wouldn't have been so annoying. It was nice to know at least that Sutter kept up the theme of the last few seasons that cops in Northern California are completely inept. I mean they were at least 20 cop cars/bikes behind Jax. Am I supposed to understand that all of them heard about the chase when they were already behind him? Then again he was able to shoot up court house steps and get away and ride to their base on the docks in a bright blue motorcycle, without anyone catching him along the way. All that over done "fancy" camera work for the chase made me almost laugh. Especially the long shots of the whole line of cop cars that sort of swooped around and then went the other way. With all the Jesus stuff in this episode I wonder if when Sutter was writing the script if he was kicking himself for not naming Jax, Jackson Cellar or something so that his initials could be J.C. Also when those irish guys were threatening the club about killing the "irish king" it made me laugh. Those guys are in ireland, and the sons are in California. Really how much of a threat could they be. Then again I never bought the IRA as being a real threat, since my understanding is that hostilities between the UK and the IRA have pretty much died down.

There was an episode of King of the Hill years ago where Peggy was trying to show her son Bobby, Monty Python. She thought it was all sophisticated because it was British, and to him all it was, was a guy in a dress talking in a funny voice. That is totally how I feel about Monty Python.

Yea it is weird. I looked it up and Betty White was 63 for the first season of Golden Girls. Wendy Malick from Hot in Cleveland is 63 now.

So it snowed pretty good yesterday in Ottawa and driving around today there are a lot of "Mr. Plow" type plow trucks about. Looking at most of the ones I have seen so far the actual plow blade seems to run parallel to the front bumper of the car, and only really sticks out maybe 8 inches to a foot on either side of the bumper. Most of them also have the blade installed close to the front bumper. Based on that I am not sure how the hell you could install a snow blower on the side of the blade. In fact for pretty much all the ones out today, that dude's invention wouldn't work.

At the very least it should have been one or the other, teams of four adults or two adults with two children under a certain age. Having it be a mix of the two was annoying and super unfair. A parent having to race with their little kids would be at a huge disadvantage compared to 4 adults racing together. I mean the team where it was the dad and his three adult daughters, the dad probably doesn't have to remind his kids to go to the bathroom or help them get dressed or pack their things up or make sure to finish their food so they get enough to eat.

I never read the Civil War comic, but google tells me that heroes without super powers, but who have super powers through technology are also subject to the act. Personally I think any kind of plot like this is stupid (especially in the MCU when the name and face of just about every hero is known) and I hope the writers involved in the movie come up with a better reason for a civil war that that.

I guess if you only had one or two outlets in your whole house it would make sense. Then you run extension cords to lights throughout the house. Still seems weird that you would only install a couple of outlets. Because other than lamps you wouldn't really have that many things plugged in for the living room. I mean just thinking about my living room, most of the things plugged in the wall (TV, cordless phone, cable box, blu-ray player, universal remote charger), didn't exist in 1940 at least in the house of the movie.
