I did think of Dogma when I was writing that but no, it was a completely different film.

I had fun with it but I agree. The acting and scripting has never been great (hence why I think it's best bad television) but this had dropped several notches almost all across the board. I hope things pick up and fast.

I like how you think. I actually saw a recent film where it turned out that there's no-one in heaven because those who ran it couldn't take the risk of anyone who shouldn't be there getting there. If they did, heaven and I guess by implication God would be shown to be wrong and that would cause the destruction of the…

This is the best bad television show currently on television. Even gives the departed Helix a run for its money.

This trailer doesn't really do the film justice (plus also does that thing where it more or less gives away the whole movie) but having seen iT;

Yes.

These people are tirelessly working to eradicate polio from Africa and then the rest of the world. They're so close to complete success, it should be only a matter of time, you would think but there's been false dawns in this battle before.

Well, given that this is an AV Club pre-Disqus legacy account (and hence can't post anywhere else) and the Neil deGrasse Tyson tag on the AV Club brings up 26 articles, for which I think I've commented on 2 or at most 3 of those articles tagged to his name including this one ever …

I take "in the next four years" to mean from the moment he stopped talking to before a point exactly four years later, so it could have been any time in that interval.

Almost 50% of people in the US in the year 2000 looked at their choices between one of the most experienced candidates of recent times (8 years a Congressman, 8 years a Senator and 8 years as Vice-President) and instead went with someone who had been Governor of a state for a few years where the Lieutenant Governor…

And once again, he both said that overall "Gravity is 'great'" and and no point did I say anything about whether I liked Gravity or not.

I can't rule out that he didn't but my best efforts back then didn't find anything. I consider it an error because he's clearly asking a rhetorical question about why would an medical doctor be doing something when there's already historical precedent for exactly that back in 1993, at least. The movie even established…

Oh goodness, really? There are many things which are inescapably terminal and very quickly for starters. You might get to the positive extreme end of a bell curve but if it's one of those conditions, you're life's going to be much shorter than if you didn't have it regardless.

"Neil deGrasse Tyson: 'Gravity' Is Great, But Here's What It Got Wrong."

I did look. I'm not the first person who noticed Story Musgrave, some people even sent that reply on his Twitter, I think. I didn't find a reply at the time, though. Or for anything else.

All I'm seeing is you not liking the movies you like."

It's like anything really. As I know you already know, use anything you hear from anyone as a starting point and check with as many sources as you can, weighing the reliability of each one as best you can. Try not to accept anyone completely on face value and bring a reasonable degree of scepticism. With any luck,…

If we're talking about Neil DeGrasse Tyson, over time I've been learning how to picture him as a complex multi-faceted individual with strengths and weaknesses as do we all.

Well, let's review shall we? Did not know the history of the space program's astronauts (doctors Strory Musgrave fixed the Hubble, Scott Parazynski did something similar with the ISS) and there's more, a lot more.

Thanks for the recommendation. Look I've heard other things he's said and some I like. It's just the first impression wasn't a good one and despite my best efforts, there are times I see things he'd said since then through that experience and I have to actively put that negativity back in its box.
