You mention Blood Rayne (see, not "Rain" but "Rayne" - clever, huh?) and Loken, but fail to mention the actor who was single-handedly responsible sinking that movie ... why yes, it was Sir Ben Kingsley, doing nothing but wearing the clothes and collecting the paycheck.
You thought Iron Man 3 was BK slumming? Shoot, he…

I a convinced that Slipstream was made simply to justify the producer's purchase of ultralight aircraft. There is no other excuse for two hours of wandering around a canyon in a two-seat flybuggy.

My takeaway from the NASA video is that Morpheus generates a metric shit-ton (shit-tonne?) of heat.
For spacecraft, the important element is the speed and mass of the ejecta generating thrust; the heat is just wasted energy. Here we are 44 years after Apollo and we are still riding the thrust of [barely] controlled…

Bbbbut, in the Warner Brother's cartoons, he was always way shorter than Buggs Bunny!

Very good observation!

For divers, it is caused by high pressure altering the absorption rate of gasses in the body. For these poor pool pups, I would suspect the onset was a "loud buzz" a "sense of disorientation" and…

Don't forget "Tom Swift Jr. and His Deep Sea Hydrodome"!

Poor little orphaned billionaire.

Ripping adventure, political discussions, action, aliens, future tech and ice skates ... all a wondering 9-year-old mind could want.
I will not claim to have completely understood it at 9, but it was the first Sci-Fi book I read and I have revisited it many times over the decades.

Brilliant. Well done. Thank you very much.

Thanks for providing the punchline I expected.

And Tanya Roberts.
