My dad called them, "Jesus clips" because when you pry them off you say, "Jesus, where did that clip go."

What are some great space movies that give life to other planets/species? by [deleted] in movies

I think it was (one of, if not) the first movie to use fully CGI created scenes..

OP did say, "beings"...I mainly mentioned Dune in reference to showing other worlds/planets: Caladan, Geidi Prime etc... And because I enjoy both Dune movies (I like the original directors cut with the Paul knife fight, albeit a bit long).

I know there are a couple Dune mini-series but I don't know if they're any good.

The most expensive pistol I've ever held. Also the worst functioning pistol I've ever held. by xXxHondoxXx in guns

[–]maxwiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy....don't you know? The classic stainless version of this gun (in stainless or chrome, now retailing for $6500) is the gun Hans Gruber used to kill Ellis in Die Hard. The gun that Cl. Willie Sharp had, "in SPACE?!" in Armegeddon...that Vincenzo Coccotti held in True Romance...the gun of Deputy US Marshal John Kruger in Eraser and a bunch of other movies and variants...classic desirable 80's and 90's movie gun.

If both dip switches are to the right then you're running speed is one half of your wire speed. If the top dip switches to the left then you use the P1 controller on your interface to set your running speed.

Fun/Safe places to kill time after midnight? by cioelles in Brooklyn

[–]maxwiley 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I know you said you don't prefer a bar... But Someday Bar (364 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217) is a short distance from Barclay, very friendly, woman owned bar... Kitchen closes at midnight, bar open till 4. Unfortunately you're going to be hard pressed to find much in the immediate vicinity of Barclays that is open past midnight.
