It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s time for our weekly discussion post, where you determine the topics!
As usual – talk about whatever you like as long as it’s related to movies, TV or Screen Rant itself.
Oh, I will ask: Is everyone settling into the new home page design? 
Around the web:

Maybe we should put our money where our mouths are? lol
As much as I hate paypal, they have a way for people to donate money to you just by clicking a button and entering their payment method and amount…
Really don’t have much opinion on the Thor casting. The only time I’ve ever seen the guy is in his brief role in the new Star Trek movie.

@Iron Knight
Hey bro, I added a little more spacing around the Latest Headlines area – I think you were right in saying that things were a little too tight.
Vic
Wait a minute, I was just reading about Chris Hemsworth and was reading about the Red Dawn remake… Did they just hand off Red Dawn, to a first time lead director, and 2nd unit director to Lions for Lambs??? I need to read the synopsis to this new Red Dawn, they better not have changed the story to make it more “politically correct” to current government’s standards, if you know what I mean…
Ken I hope you know that they will. That’s what today’s hollywood does. it’s sad, but true.
Also Vic I bookmarked the Screenrant.com/archive page that looks like the old layout and I’m happy no more bitching about that from me I can just click my bookmark and land on the layout that made me fall in love with the site. It’s a tough balancing act trying to keep everyone happy trying to bring in new members and keep the old ones happy. Your doing great.
Thanks, Daniel. Believe me, you “regulars” mean the world to us and I’m doing what I can to accommodate both you AND new visitors who hopefully will become repeat visitors as well.
Vic
Ok, so I know YOU know what I’m talking about.
I’m sure that scene where the Cuban general uses our own “gun registries” to find citizens who are armed to target them first would be gone too, that scene proved such an important point… pity…
@vic
Yah, it’s actually kind of weird that someone will make a suggestion, then the site will actually change to reflect that. Most sites I have when they ask for visitor “feedback” it’s just for show, and every suggestion is just shot down by some phony balony excuse why it wouldn’t work…
Weird as in unexpected, not in a negative way, it’s a good thing, very uncommon.
I know exactly what you mean most sites are like most jobs the suggestion box is really just a paper shredder in disguise.
They might as well rename the box from “Suggestion Box” to “Recycle your paper here! Go green!”
The new updated layout looks good, Vic. To be honest, it’s not the layout of the site that brings me back here on a nearly daily basis, it’s the quality of the articles and the genuine love for movies and TV that you and the other writers seem to have. Once I get used to a layout it will be fine. I do like that the site loads ALOT faster on my computer.
Keep up the great work, Vic!!
@ Vic
Glad to be helpful. Definitely getting better the new homepage. Rest assured, no matter what changes, I’ll always stay with ScreenRant. Good work again!
@ Vic:
Hey, lookit that good lookin’ guy at the top of the page!
I like your Fu-Manchu-esque Van Dyke, btw, Vic, and I like this ‘Open Discussion’ page so far, and kudos to 790 for telling me about it – Thanls, pal!
I will create a shortcut for this one, too, straightaway.
I intend to become a regular.

Thanks Johhny-O, rather than just link everything you should just make sure to check out

At least once a day as there’s allways something cool going on…
Hey Johhny-O, if your a fan of BSG, I hope you check this out,,,

@ 790:
Thanks, buddy, I will checkout both, I appreciate it.
Yeah, I was a HUGE fan of BSG, was very impressed by the praise heaped on it by Rolling Stone magazine – “The best show on television”…I have to agree, the best sci-fi on TV, anyway (gotta leave a little sumpthin’-sumpthin’ for the FX shows, hahaha, U know? ‘Nip/Tuck’, ‘The Shield, & ‘Rescue Me’ were fantastic too), but I was already on the boards about much of Glactica, this looks intriguing though, will invesitgate forthwith.
Thanx again, pal,
JOHN
Did anyone find R2D2′s cameo in “Star Trek”?
Thanks, Johnny-O. BTW, there’s a new Open Discussion post every Wednesday, so don’t bookmark THIS one.
Vic
@ Vic:
Okay, I will, thanx.
And thank you so much for putting up with our ‘gang’ from the Spoilers’ Rant thread, I am sure I speak for all when I say we all appreciate your indulgence at our silly rambunctiousness (there’s a word for ya!)!
God bless you, pal,
JOHN
PS: Is there any way you can get ahold of Vee, from Edmonton? Even our sweet-16 little Ingenue, Katherine from Down Under, eventually filtered in, but Vee has not yet shown up yet to join us on the new thread – a great loss, really, if yoiu ask me, she had a lot to offer, often disagreeing but always respectful – I miss her. Can you get her back?
Don’t worry if you can’t, I know you’re busy but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
Cya!
JOHN
@ Matt K:
Hi, Matt, nice to meet ya, I’m John;
Boy, is that a major WTF!
R2-D2? in a cameo in the JJ-Trek movie?
Ho-lee SHIT! This is MAJOR! Now, of course, I have to go back & see the damn thing again, HAHAHAHAHA!
Or, maybe I can just wait until it comes out on DVD, I’ll probably do that…I have all those other revelations to look for, prob’ly be the best thing. Lemme seeeee…Bones’ sickbay diagnostic bed with a dynamic X-Ray, Kal Penn on the bridge for about a half second, the main engineering scenes shot at the Budweiser plant, etc.
Thanx, always nice to know what chimeras are lurking in the fertile mind of JJ Abrams…
JOHN
24, SEASON FINALE TONIGHT !!!!
