So you're saying that if you're a struggling or new actor trying to get established that you would turn down a role in a major motion picture just because? Wow, I guess it's a good thing that you're not an actor because you'd starve with that kind of attitude. That's why I freely admit that I...

Looks like they used an old Creative MP3 player and added an overlay to the screen. Nice job at replicating it.

That is totally awesome. You should try bringing it down to Wondercon in Anaheim sometime, they allow food trucks so they may allow your bar, although I think that they might not allow alcohol though.

Not sure about that casting, he seems much too pretty to be Batman. But then again, they've cast Val Kilmer in the past and Michael Keaton seemed like an odd choice at first. So, who knows, it might work, but I have my doubts.

The same goes for the Marine Corps, we haven't changed our service dress and dress blues in at least 30 years.

Aside from the late season main Starfleet uniform, none of the Starfleet uniform designs on the show were particularly good. I always thought that their dress uniforms were horrible and very obviously made on a budget, it wasn't until Nemesis(?) with the introduction of the dress whites did they...

You mean the US Navy, they have tons of uniforms and, last time I checked, still divided into summer and winter variants. For other branches, particularly the USMC, it's not that bad, we have 2 sets of fatigues (woodland and desert), a PT uniform, service dress uniforms which has 3 variations...

It looks like it's based on a real pistol, but I have no idea what model. Judging by the size of the barrel and the amount of receiver in the rear, I'd like at single shot, rifle caliber pistols.

Speaking of which, here are some pics from inside the land courtesy of D23. FIRST LOOK: Stunning Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Photos Reveal Intergalactic New Details - D23 Also, word is that on opening day in Anaheim the parking garages will be open at midnight in case you have an 8AM reservation...

The Navy doesn't do this but I believe that the Air Force did with their F-4s but I don't think that they do with their F-15Es now a days. As for attack helos, apparently both the pilot and gunner are trained pilots and the gunner can, if needed, fly the helo. For present day Navy, I believe...

Same here, esp. given that Fox is now part of Disney they could have potentially moved it to streaming exclusively on Disney +. I doubt that it would have happened as it would have been something of an odd fit but it its theoretically possible.

I'd just Dremel it off and then sand the back. Alternately, you could, as was suggested above, just snap it off, if I'm not mistaken they're just glued or lightly welded on, I don't think that they're an integral part of the pin.

Maybe for those missions where you wanted to be a bit more discreet so you carried the "crickets" instead of a full phaser. And for ease of logistics/storage they made it so they formed part of the larger full sized phasers. That or for situations where they want to be tricky/sneaky, they can...

Yeah, I think that it could be a tad wider although the casting is still a bit narrow for a T. rex, but matching the casting would be good enough. For reference, this is how wide a T. rex's skull is and how forward facing their eyes were.

Very nice job and quite impressive. However, I can't help but to wonder if perhaps the skull is a bit too narrow in the back where the eyes are. I say this because in real life, the T. rex's skull was quite wide at the eyes and, as a result, it had very forward facing eyes. As it is now, its eye...
