Tyson really should watch some movies with biology or computer science in them.  The scene where they explained the origin of the critter from Splice wasn't even goddamn English, much less science.  I know its on his turf, but they clearly showed some interest in getting it at least kind of right.

Apollo 13?  Though they weren't so much effects as just shutting them up in The Vomit Comet and filming them when they were in free fall.

Or at least it was till the Pope destroyed Limbo a few years ago.

I always liked the idea that Jesus just survived his crucifixion (he died right after being given 'bitter water', perhaps a drug of some kind), and lived another 40 days before dying properly.  It would explain why he'd still have holes in him.

Roman soldier raises up a huge shield.
Jesus:  Crap, I was expecting an open faced helmet sort of situation.

You know what's even weirder?  Why should his death be considered a sacrifice at all, when you consider he just poofs back in three days and then ascends to heaven to live in glory forever.  And if Jesus didn't know that would happen, was he really a God?

I could go for a Pontius Pilate crime procedural.
In the Roman Justice System, a criminal must be brought to a magistrate by the wronged parties.  The magistrate pretty much does what he wants.
Chunk Chunk.

Costa Concordia:  It Was a Seamonster is only a book away, I guess.

I'm surprised this is even an idea, since anyone outside the main cast in Modern Family is just a tiny blip on the radar.  I can't really think of that many extras that even have a name, other than that guy Tobias Funke played.

I'm so sick of that Captain Phillips movie already.  Just skip ahead to the movie where he teams up with that survived hitting birds airplane captain and Vin Diesel to have adventures in air, land and sea.

AMC's prime shows (BB, MM, TWD) have only gained viewers as they've gone along, and making it easy for new viewers to catch up with Netflix is the primary reason that happens.  

I think its Snape Killed Dumbledore syndrome.  If you want to get to the end and have it be a surprise, without it getting spoiled by someone on the internet, you had to do it now.

She and Christian Bale should do a movie where they gain and lose terrible amounts of weight together for an increasingly comical series of movie auditions.

So far, the only bit of proof David existed at all outside the Bible is one inscription from a battle that mentions a king from the House of David.  A battle the Israelites lost.  The great kingdoms that David and Solomon had certainly did not exist.  There's no reason to think there wasn't a local chief named David,…

Nope.  I bet he did leave later when the church let gay people become pastors.

Alexanderite or gtfo

Ah, that reminds me of the time a guy stood up in a church budget meeting and said we shouldn't spend money on the community, and should worship Jesus instead.

So, I've only read a few Constantine comics.. is NBC signing on for a show that makes God look like a complete asshole?  

It also had Tilda Swinton as an androgynous half angel.  It had some fun scenes… its certainly not dreck like Priest or Legion.

The irritating thing is that Coral Castle is a pretty remarkable achievement in one determined person doing engineering, without turning him into a wizard.
