Are you suggesting that return on investment is also some management mumbojumbo bullshitspeak?

No.

No.

Didn't think you were, but CdM certainly seemed to be.

No.

Unfortunately, it's the only management mumbojumbo bullshitspeak that matters in this world, as long as shareholders can keep jizzing into their Scrooge McDuck cash bags.

I noticed he used "return on investment". 

I've heard enough of that from MBAssholes to last me a while.  We must count our precious little beans.

Shareholder value über alles!

Although one of the worst phrases I once read in a corporate email was to "leverage all stakeholders [of the project] to synergize their efforts". I think they had no idea what it meant, either.

After reading 20, 30,000 similar statements, I think I know now.  It covers nothing that isn't present in the phrase, "Everybody, do your fucking job."

Trailer for the new Star Trek movie. http://youtu.be/l2wigDNTDkA

Sherlock Holmes returns to Earth to detonate Starfleet forever 

Great.  Crew of the Enterprise goes back in time to 9/11.

Sounded like the Prometheus trailer for a while there.

When the last movie involved a Space Pearl Harbor, an entire planet getting imploded, and a four thousand mile hole dug in the middle of San Francisco bay, is it really appropriate to start off the trailer for the sequel with "YOU THOUGHT YOUR WORLD WAS SAFE"?

Taken on it's own, it's a pretty good trailer, but, yeah, in context, it's less so. 

The original trailer for the reboot was a great trailer.  Too bad the movie didn't live up to it.

I dunno.  It was a very well-made film with a tremendously defective script.  On a first watch it was a really enjoyable movie, but it suffers badly on repeat viewings as all the flaws become apparent.  I'm hoping this one went through more than one draft before they started filming.

As for Cumberbatch, I reckon he's a non-Khan genetically engineered dude from the Eugenics War.

If I can find a clearer picture, I'm gonna have one printed up to hang at the office.

The food obsession is appropriate.

Yeah, nice role model.  And I thought I was a dick at work with a pic of Dzerzhinsky.

Christmas Story. Always bitchin.

Man, Dune sure does suck a lot more than I remembered.

EXPOSITORY MONOLOGUE: THE MOVIE.

Cool sound, though.

Thank you, Funk.  That was wonderful.

Harold and Kumar Christmas- Had no idea this filmed existed. Its not very good. Sure, I wasn't expecting the best thing ever but the original was a pretty great light comedy, thought it might be watchable. It is not. Half of the film seems to consist of gratuitous 3D wanking...and I'm watching it in 2D anyway. Bleh.
