What makes you say that?

Huh... we published the same thing at about the same time.... great flick this...

I believe you are right. The Silmarillion was published by Christopher Tolkien, who very much disliked the movies, so I suspect Jackson will never get his paws on it.

Huh... I just posted the same thing. I loved this film... for what it was...

Well, he's how they did it in half that time in 1977.... it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't half bad for a kids film either...

No Mr. Baggins... I expect you to die!

Actually, they are one of the most famous man made objects in the world.

Well... no these people are actually members of Greenpeace by active choice, no one is born into Greenpeace, you have to join it. It's more like punch a random Nazi.

Sadly, its not an issue of turning rocks back over, it is the impact of the pressure on the surface of the soil. Neither can it really be repaired without further impacting the soil and the nature of the site itself.

I am sorry for those injured and killed, and would like to thank them for their bravery and attempts to keep the future of space travel alive.

Wait, wait, wait... the Microbrachius dicki I can let pass, but you're really expecting me to take this seriously when it was produced by a man named JOHN LONG? What was his assistant's name? Jenny Swallows?

This is a brilliant map, but I do wish they had a scalable way to indicate the real magnitude of the Permian extinction.... the way it is laid out makes the Cretaceous look more significant. Of course, that's a matter of perspective and I couldn't have done better.

Oh I completely understand your point, but my point is that people NOW seem to think that those stories were believed by the public, rather than taken as stories. The question at hand is what will confuse archaeologists, and my answer was our stories will confuse them in the same way ancient stories confuse many…

But many of us mistake those ancient stories for representations of those people actual views of the world (e.g. Atlantis as a real thing rather than a Platonic parable)

There are, actually a large number of individuals in the ancient world who did not believe in the myths, Plato being one (and the man who first wrote about Atlantis). The pythagrians also had very different views of divinity, which suggests that they viewed the myths and legends as... well myths and legends. Indeed,…

It really was a great film, and I love the way Tom Cruise played up to his, arrogant d*** character at the beginning, expecting to smarty sleeze his way out of things and.... OK... no more spoilers. Own-able movie

Sports will make perfect sense, as that you have such arena style events through most of human history (if not prehistory). What will be confusing, I suspect, is the nature of science fiction.

I agree. Triffids fall into the zombie catagorie because they are the slow shuffling masses that are only dangerous if you stop paying attention, and the real enemy is other people.

One does wonder about the impact of the high magnetic field of the planet, and if it could be charged due to an electric storm?

Ditto.
