I saw the movie tonight and found myself really irritated by that way that at the end there is no explanation for this monster, they dont tell you where it came from, what it was, whether it got killed, how many there were etc etc etc, the damn film just ends like the bloody blair witch project does: With a pain in the stomach (motion sickness) and a confused look on your face.

I think that JJ’s style is really short sighted, for example: Lost is going to end and nobody will really care a week later and nobody would ever want to see this movie twice. When you compare it to all the movies that seem to go on like endless series (though they all have thier own faults too) and the TV shows that have been on the air for years and years, his work, which is supposed to be so good is just shit.

In Stargate mythology, the reason for frost with the SGC Gate is because they’re NOT using a DHD to dial the gate. This is explained in season five’s “Red Sky.”

In real life, the process USED to simulate the frost in ‘97 was painful to the actors and that’s why it was discontinued. They since learned to use a process of spraying on warm liquid parafin, which was used in “Red Sky.”

There are plenty of Newtons out there for sale, and plenty with a stylus. And it make cost you $10-100 for one.

Lots of luck, though, Newtons are fun just to play around with the handwriting recognition.
