Carrots. Cannot stand them, especially uncooked. They just massively overpower the taste of everything they are with. I will painstakingly sort out every little bit of shredded or diced carrots if I find them in something I'm eating.

"Chariots of the Gods" was the least of this movie's problems, really. It's at least a valid SF premise. The real problem is that everybody came out of suspension clenching the Idiot Ball.

This is "Old Testament according to Christian Interpretation," not "Old Testament according to the people who wrote it."

"can a proof really be accepted if no human reads it?"

My favorite by far is Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints.

Yeah, at that point in the series their strategy for plotting the arc was pretty much to ask, "What's the absolute most fucked up thing that can possibly happen next?" and then make that happen next.

I for one welcome our new — WAIT, NO I DON'T, what am I saying?

I came to the thread to post this one.

After reading this and the comment threads I don't feel like I understand how what is going on here is anything other than the standard-issue hatred and mistrust of smart people that permeates American society. Maybe I can't be objective about it because I'm a software engineer but the rage seems to be woefully…

Axis won in that book.

I wonder if T. Rex bobbed its head like that with every step, too.

The industry is probably going to watch the performance of the Warcraft movie very closely. If it does well enough, it could shatter the curse of "terrible video game movies." If it does phenomenally, we could maybe even see Blizzard-Legendary partnership like Marvel Studios developed to follow up with more Warcraft…

That was my thought. We're all still collectively trying to parse Primer (not even Randall Munroe dared to tackle it), so it might have felt too daring to offer a simple chart explaining the Primer vision of time travel.

"The Order" - which wasn't about any sort of religious order at all. Half of the movie would have made an interesting religious thriller. The other half... was utterly dreadful.

Copious chewing of scenery and a soundtrack by Queen doesn't hurt.

Zorg Industries - did they hitch their wagon to the wrong horse or what?

Plus the notion of "self-sampling" and the assorted fallacies it leads to.

I'll pitch in with a vote for Silent Running.

This will always be the scene against which supervillain intro scenes will be compared.

There was a particularly vivid description of this condition a few months ago here.
