As Craig Ferguson so brilliantly put it, "It's about the triumph of intelligence and romance, over brute force and cynicism." (And the Force, in this case.)

Arthur C. Clarke wrote many short stories, where I remember being very surprised by the endings- "The Star", "The Nine Billion Names Of God", and "Encounter at Dawn" are the three with surprise endings that I remember best.

How long before someone pees in it?

Or it'll be a great parkour target- until a parkour-wannabe cracks his skull open in a fall, and they bring in police to keep everyone safely away...

Well played, sir. Well played.

Party on! [air guitar riff]

"Where's the sled? Did he park it somewhere?"

Your loss- it's actually a fun little film. And, as I've said earlier, we could use MORE movies with the message "Be excellent to one another."

Props for Bill and Ted- the first film to get right the idea that, if you have access to a time machine, you can always set up a way to escape from a scrape LATER:

Hammerpede Time!

Looking at all of the various "Batman" animated versions being mentioned down-thread makes me think that a good subject for a Top Ten list would be the ten best "Batman" movies (including the straight-to-video animated releases). Keep that one in mind for later this Summer- I heard a rumor that there was going to be…

No. No, we didn't.

It was a good movie- but not a GREAT movie. My biggest problem? Too little Rocketeer, in a movie called "The Rocketeer."

I want to see Ren as Loki!

The Hammer was a comet, not an asteroid- Comet Hamner-Brown.

Confinement Asteroid is a better asteroidal choice to represent Niven than "Footfall"- the Snouts didn't drop an asteroid on us, they dropped a chunk of Saturn's ring they had mined for water, then retrieved to serve as the "Foot"! Same material, different source of origin.
