I guess the interest in apocalyptic literature and the imminent collapse of the planet's climate and biosphere are not a mere coincidence.

I have long ago come to the conclusion that if all these stories about UFO crashes, crop circles and anal probe were real, then it means that the only aliens visiting us are drunk teens on Spring Break. Why else who they cross thousands of thousands of miles just to mess with poor old farmer's crops?

I believe we already had a winner for ugliest here

Meanwhile, for us DC Comics fans, Warner Bros. next great live action small screen project is...Hourman.

I wish they'd had the two scenes the other way round. The 'collector' scene is really a teaser for another film, whereas the 'kiss' scene is the final beat of Thor's story in the movie. Having the 'kiss' mid credits wouldn't have hurt the Loki reveal.

geez, it isn't microbiology or rocket science - just tell a damn story: hero or heroes drawn into a dangerous situation, enlist allies on their quest, get into trouble, get out of trouble, find out a secret, hone their skills - build their army or whatnot, make their assault, win, twist ending (insert names, places,…

I thought it effectively (if maybe superficially) threw a light onto the inequalities and injustices of the…

Which is more appealing, participating in life, or watching TV? How much TV is watched in this country?

Maybe the next film will involve Star Trek then.

At some time in the relatively near future, we will have both the computing power and the brain knowledge to be able to create artificial realities that we will be able to plug our brains into that will give no indication that they are anything but real. We will be able to create any kind of reality, any kind of…

No graph is scarier than this one:

One thing I always find bothersome is the assumption that all tech civilizations will broadcast generalized radio transmissions, always and forever. This is a waste of power and seems to me a technology that would have a short life span. Using technologies like the laser to transmit information directly would make…

It had a few A grade moments, although they were diluted in a lot of so-so non necessary filler.

With no-clipping as an added bonus.

No word yet on how the various toxic heavy metals and other detritus from the manufacturing industries will create the 100ft mutant man-eating asparagus.
