I will vouch for the Butterfly Kid being a fantastically fun, if less than serious, book. The two sequels books are great too, if only because they use the same conceit as the first book - namely, the authors of all three books are also characters in all three books.

Joyous insanity.

How many times will they change the title after it’s finally made, though??

This is fucking scary and messed up as hell. God damn.

So ... not a god damned thing at all, really. Bonus.

Here’s an article title: “What if a rogue PLANET impacted the Sun? Well, still NOTHING.”

That much has been made unbelievably obvious, yes.

I was wondering this myself - because we’ve seen a few really close up shots of Pluto and Charon, so there seems like there MUST be higher resolution snaps of them on the way yet.

I’m just gonna have to be patient and hopeful, I guess.

Is that Apocalypse, or his midget twin brother? He looks about as imposing as my neighbors pet Chihuahua.

All I want to know is - do we finally get to see Mrs. Jarvis???

The voice work is recorded before the animation is done, so if she seemed out of synch, it was either the animator’s fault, or the projectionist’s. I can’t speak for the rest of her performance, though.

I’ve always consoled myself with the idea that Ewoks are actually like really short Wookiees, and much stronger than they seem.

Are we sure about this? It was tidal forces that ripped Shoemaker-Levy apart as it approached Jupiter, and Jupiter isn’t the gravitational monster that the sun is. I mean, yes, it was much closer to Jupiter ( within its Roche Radius, obviously ) but gravity clearly exerts influential forces on objects well outside…

That seems very unlikely - but weirder things have happened.

I doubt that solar radiation is having too much of an effect beyond the surface, and even then only probably on the sun-wards side.

I’m thinking it’ll be more on par with Wing Commander.

Does anyone else suppose that the internal heat source could just be the tidal effects of it’s approach to the sun? I mean, isn’t it essentially just two giant wads of loosely packed rock and ice sort of stuck together and tumbling? That seems like it’d be generating a lot of internal friction/heating, at least,…

This trailer actually confirmed for me that this movie will be as watchable as the rest of the Marvel movies - because I was starting to worry about Ant Man holding up to the rest.

Just once I’d like to see a porn comic with enough anatomical know-how to realize that a man does NOT ejaculate directly into the uterus. Good God.

You said the hill’s too steep to climb,

Transforming another planet is going to be too time consuming and too resource exhausting. And this is saying nothing about the fact that there is no planet we can get to that could ever really be an adequate replacement for Earth.

I can understand your point of view, but I think it’s incorrect.

Science can be sociology, behaviorism, and any other kind of ‘soft science’. And so, any fiction that explores those subjects, even if it feels like fantasy or horror, is probably more properly science fiction.

And at that point, I would define science…
