Trek-Hating Herc Loves Tomorrow’s DISCOVERY 2.3!! You Heard Me!!

I am – Hercules!!
Star Trek Discovery 2.3 FAQ
What’s it called? “Point of Light.”
Who’s responsible? Teleplay is credited to TV vet Andrew Colville (“Boomtown,” “The 4400,” “Mad Men”), who makes his Star Trek scripting debut.
What says CBSAA? “A surprise visitor to the U.S.S. Discovery brings shocking news about Spock and dredges up past regrets for Burnham. Following the asteroid incident, Tilly struggles to keep a grip on her reality. L’Rell’s authority on Qo’noS is threatened.”
How does it start? “Stardate 1029.46. Personal log: Commander Michael Burnham. Any rational explanation for the seven signals that have appeared across the galaxy continues to escape me – and with it perhaps any chance of a relationship with my brother Spock. What did he see in them that I can’t?”
Is it any good? Yes. I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn’t imagine it. It’s still not entirely your daddy’s “Star Trek,” but it’s very good in its own way. I was dreading the return of L’Rell and Georgio and AshVoq, but – along with Amanda Grayson, Chris Pike and the fellow from House Kor – they are the most compelling components of this episode.
Is this the first episode of “Star Trek Discovery” Herc has ever endorsed? It is. This should have been the series’ first episode. For all its flaws it’s likely the best Trek script we’ve gotten since 2009. IMDb suggests Colville

These pants are made with the world’s strongest material woven into its fabric – Graphene

There’s a high chance that the Omega pants will outlive the human race. Now I’m not being a pessimist, I’m just stating that these all-purpose pants come with the toughest ever material known to man woven into its fabric. With a lifetime warranty that should last long enough for it to be passed down multiple generations, the Omega pants were built to literally be worn forever, or quite possibly until the end-times… a little too stark? Maybe, but it drives the point home! Designed for practically any activity that requires pants, the Omega pants by Graphene-X come with a 3-layer fabric that isn’t just destruction-proof, it’s stretchable, waterproof, and has the ability to regulate your body’s temperature so you could potentially wear the same pair of pants while rock-climbing in the sun or on a skiing trip to a snow-capped peak. The pants’ fabric as well as its construction together help it juggle its different roles. Styled like a pair of all-purpose pants with removable leg-pieces, ...

A lounge chair you can ‘lean on’

Remember the Ovini Balance Stool from last year? The Sway Chair is the Ovini’s bigger brother with a backrest! Designed to be a lounging chair that has the flexibility of perhaps the beanbag, KI’s Sway Chair comes with a hemispherical base that rests on a freely rotating and swiveling base that has 4 legs. The contact points between the seating area and the base have ball bearings concealed within them that allow you to lean forwards, backwards, or even sideways in the chair, choosing a position that’s comfortable for you. With a simple physical action, you can change the chair from a work-chair to a lounger to lean back and relax in. There’s a certain bit of resistance/friction too, which means the chair retains the position you set it in, rather than swinging willy-nilly. Oh, and this one, unlike the Ovini, also comes with a rather nifty backrest as well as an adjustable foot-stool! Designer: KI Yanko Design https://ift.tt/2y1jNWK September 28, 2018 at 09:02PM

Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Shunji Iwai’s Letters from Shanghai

Contemporary Chinese Cinema is a column devoted to exploring contemporary Chinese-language cinema primarily as it is revealed to us at North American multiplexes. The sneakiest major release of the year is surely the latest from Japanese director Shunji Iwai, whose new movie opens this Friday at a dozen multiplexes around North America courtesy of the distributor China Lion Film. Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...
