Installed this for work, we're working with a company that's going to be using QR codes and our agents will be able to put them on their real estate signs.
saunieindiego Isn't technology brilliant?

I don't know, this movie wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Kinda meh.

Jayne Hat
I bought this one for me a short time later.
Jayne Hat
Bought this as a surprise for a friend who loves Firefly, it was a complete accident that I got it for her the week they showed Serenity at a local theater that shows older movies on Friday nights. So she had the perfect hat to wear to the movie.

amyuhrich I LOVE dressing up in the style of the film I'm going to see! TRON was fun :) I would probably appreciate this a lot more if I'd actually SEEN Firefly/Serenity (I know, I'm way behind, gotta get on that).
TheGiant Hey I was behind too, first time I saw Serenity was in the theater I mentioned, it's a refurbished old local theater with a smaller screen and removable chairs so they can pull them out for special events, maybe not as comfortable, but still a fun unique theater.
amyuhrich That's pretty cool. I love unique movie theaters :)
girlfriday That's a really neat hat!!!!
Benji
One of my favorite movies growing up. Always liked Benji.

saunieindiego I remember seeing it in a theater. I'm old
TheGiant That was 4 years before I was born. :) There's been two new Benji's since then. The daugher I think and another adopted stray. So many Benji movies now it's not funny, there was even a TV show.
chrismolnar puppy movies are the best.
bestfriend RIP BENJI
HoneyLub OMG No one knows about Benji like I did !! lol None of my friends knew who Benji was when I brought him up awhile back. Lol they had one of his movies for $5 at Wal mart around Christmas. brought back good memories haha.
amyuhrich Oh man, I used to watch this constantly when I was a kid. This and The Hunted (another Benji movie). Good stuff - I'd nearly forgotten about Benji until you mentioned this but he was highly entertaining.
Shut Up Button Pro App
A silly novelty app. Lots of buttons, each one with a different person saying shut up, only bought it really because of a really annoying friend to annoy him back.
· $0.99 app from iTunes
saunieindiego i may have to look into getting this app
Popeye
Weird seeing Popeye in a live action film, Robin Williams was awesome in the role though. Pretty funny movie
· movie from Netflix
bestfriend @chrismolnar Nilson is great. So underrated
impulsebuyer I had no idea this even existed! Is it an older movie?
MeganMichelle This movie is sooo good! One of my favorites. I thought Sheely Duval was amazing. "Cause he's laaarge!" I say that line all the time! Everyone must see this movie.
TheGiant @impulsebuyer yep it's an older movie, like from 1980. @beverlynoelle I think it aged pretty well. @MeganMichelle, I do that too. LOL
saunieindiego @MeganMichelle I almost forgot about "he's Laaaarrrgeee" very funny
TheGiant and he's tall and he's large
Jeff Dunham
Was showing this to a friend. I actually saw Jeff Dunham in person when he was here in town.

Carl Sagan - A Glorious Dawn
Random purchase cause I felt like it, this is from the Symphony of Science website.
· $0.99 song from iTunes
riddlefish What's the Symphony of Science? Is it songs about science?
TheGiant It is, but it's also from actual scientists, made into song using autotune.
chrismolnar hilarious, and an actually good song too.
bestfriend I love carl sagan, such a weirdo in the best way
Nerdcore Rising
Pretty much just a documentary on a MC Frontalot tour, with interviews of musicians and fans about Nerdcore. Both mainstream people and Nerdcore people are interviewed, Even Weird Al is in this.

Raptr Xbox and PC Friends App
The Raptr iPhone app, it's alright, don't really use it much though, it's pretty much just an IM client for the iPhone.
· app from iTunes
TheGiant it works with everything else, but it's mostly gamer related. Since the website tracks achievements and whatnot regardless of gaming platform., on the iPhone it's kind of not much different than anything else, on the iPhone I prefer the Meebo client.
Belkin HDDB15M/F PC Monitor Extension Cable
This was for a coworker that needed a second monitor for training in her office, the second screen needed to be placed on the other side of her desk, and mirror her primary screen, but the monitor cable I had was not long enough.
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
Imagine an Earth, where the counterparts of the Justice League were actually the villains, Lex Luthor was a good guy, and Deathstroke was the President. That's what the JLA in this movie encounter.
· movie from Netflix
fnoo Must have been tough to boil down the whole Crisis story arc into a single animated movie. This takes a bunch of shortcuts and sort of turns into its own thing. Which is fair enough.
TheGiant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_on_Two_Earths What I find most strange is that apparently this was originally intended to be the bridge between the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoons, but because of budgeting they apparently changed it, but they changed so little it still fits. Like at the beginning they are rebuilding the Watchtower, and testing the teleporter, kind of funny that Batman uses Flash as the guinea pig.
fnoo I was noticing that it actually still fit the DCAU continuity pretty well -- at least better than most of these direct-to-DVD movies. Wasn't aware of the history behind the project, though. That's pretty interesting. Now all we need is an answer as to whether Teen Titans fits into the DCAU or not.
Enemy Mine
I really like this movie. It was a Netflix recommendation, and I forgot I had already seen it, but I hadn't seen it in years, so it was nice seeing it again.
Kevin Smith
One of Kevin Smith's Q&A sessions done as a TV special He went into such detail answering the first question, that he only answered one question. Raunchy in the usual expected way of course. I really didn't want to know about him going to the bathroom thanks, but still pretty funny.

Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculee ...
Been buying these books for my mom to lend out or give away. Immaculee is coming to Jacksonville to speak along with a one woman show based on this book on March 11th for a chairty event to help St Gerard Campus, which is a non denominational home and school for young girls with babies. The book is GREAT, I do recommend it.

Batman: Under The Red Hood
Not bad, pretty much what I expected.
· movie from Netflix
gkruis You a big Batman fan?
TheGiant Sometimes, I was just checking out some of the DC animated DVDs and stuff that Netflix had, mostly out of curiosity.
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
Appears to be continuation of the animated series, a little weird though. I won't give any spoilers.
· movie from Netflix
fnoo Yeah, this is one of three animated movies that slot into the TV series continuity. I think this is the third and final. It's either that or the second. Either way, it's set after the TV series and before the Justice League TV show.
