Worst. Photoshop. Ever.

Worse even than Harrison Ford on the cover of Air Force One.

That is not Val Kilmer. It is not human.

Everything big, impressive and practical starts small, overpriced and novel, as Chairboy said... $3k or not, when something the size of a pen can burn through something from across the room, I start imagining what they'll do in another 5-10 years.

I agree, and I'll check back in another 5-10 years.

Nevermind Sluggish. Joke failed.

And yet again...  Did you hear the swooshing sound?

Val Kilmer, who played the antagonist in "Top Gun," whose character's name was...

awe never mind...

Ice was never the antagonist. Top Gun was a classic story of Man Verses Self. Maverick was his own worst enemy. This is proven in the end, when, after confronting his own demons, Ice and Maverick end up bonafide butt-buddies.

Hathaway, however, was an antagonist in the truest sense of the word. And, given the context of the conversation and a very memorable scene involving Ice (frozen water) in Real Genius, where Val screams 'I'm melting', the confusion surrounding the word 'Ice' is understandable.

reminds me of an old sci fi book that had soldiers with microwave laser rifles (masers) powered by a backpack that was in itself a biological power reactor (created by splicing dna from creatures and bacteria that generated electrical currents).

the whole concept was illogical but the battles were fun.


now, about a decade later, seeing all the advances, it makes one wonder.



BTW, didnt nikola tesla say that he had invented some sort of death ray before his death?

That guy did amazing stuff in his life, wouldnt count him out of the race even if he's dead.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA One joke comment with a reference to pop culture relevant to the technology at hand, and the thread breaks down into a semantic study of the intentions of the character studies in 2 totally different and self indulgent 1980's movies that happen to star an actor not even mentioned in the original post by myself!








you guys rock

Excellent perspective about disruptive technology, Chairboy.  Thanks.
