Way below a mouse or even a goldfish. Among invertebrates, it's only the cephalopods you have to watch out for.

You're intentionally missing the point.
Yes, it's complicated, and I also think it was worth bringing up for the broader point that there's something creepy about having a guy who audiences will think of as completely white and anglo-saxon talking about racial superiority (and actually being superior in many ways), whereas having an "ethnic" actor who was…
Hispanics/Latinos are a minority that can face discrimination even if their ancestry is European so they wouldn't be labeled "people of color" (and even more so when Montalbán was younger and looking for parts). You could make a comparison to the position of Irish, Italians, and Jews in the early 20th century.
Simple rule for living in the West: You are what you look like.
I don't think "latino" is any less of a cultural designation than "hispanic" though—it basically just means a person from (or with ancestry from and a feeling of cultural ties to) Latin America, no? Look at the Hispanic and Latino wiki article, which says:
Wait, is Ricardo Montelbán really a "person of color"? He was born in Mexico, but wikipedia says that both his parents were Spanish emigres. He's hispanic in the cultural sense, but does he have any Native American ancestry?
I'm sure in that reality, people speculate wistfully about the idea that David Lynch was at one point on board to direct Dune! Man, how crazy would that have been?
What kind of movies come closest to working for you, getting under your skin for at least the duration of the movie? (I've rarely been really unsettled "for more than half a day or so" either, but feeling really unsettled during the movie and for a brief time after are really all I'm looking for in genuinely…
Presumably they're basing it on the advanced press and spoilers that they get their hands on and publish here, and they don't like what they've read.
Inspired a little by Doctor Horrible, maybe? I thought of it mainly because of the random horse neighing, but then Doctor Horrible was also a villain with a social conscience (and Rex Velvet is "the people's villain) who saw his superhero enemy as a tool of the system (I don't know what the full story is with Phoenix…
I don't understand the question, though. The people writing articles don't like the movie, and in some of the articles they discuss why.
Our knowledge of physics dictates that faster that light travel is impossible, but there are still crap tons of people trying to achieve it.
The quotes you give actually seem to fit quite well with what I was saying—he isn't attacking the creators of Star Trek, just saying most sci-fi fans have let Star Trek influence their vision of the future too much. And Star Trek anticipating a few specific technologies isn't the point, the point of the article is…
Neither physics nor logic could bound us from these things(as do many other things we humans do, we do them anyways regardless of logic or if physically feasible)
I don't think the article is accusing Roddenberry or other Trek creators of believing theirs is the only plausible version of the future, it's more about how Trek has conditioned the imagination of a lot of sci-fi fans to think of the future in these terms. That said, of course there are large numbers of fans who…
The article doesn't actually say we won't be exploring other star systems, just that we probably won't bother sending canned primates with life-support systems if there's the option of sending mind uploads or other forms of AI, which could vastly reduce the payload mass. And you're right that there are theories within…
Did you read the rest of his answer?
Why impractical? If they had the technology to make a material both transparent and resilient (a la transparent aluminum on Star Trek), wouldn't people prefer to have helmets that don't limit their peripheral vision?
From that interview it sounds like he is begrudgingly accepting the AvPs as canon.
