PostSecret posted this on their Facebook feed last week, and got more than a thousand answers (almost all of which were wrong, and most of which were convinced of their first answer without noticing the problem).

I forgot to add a #joke tag.

Magnolia is a superb movie. If Magnolia has a rating of 83% and Hellraiser has a rating of 63%, then RT ratings are clearly not linear!

Hence why shipping a few people across interstellar space to feed a starving world made no sense, and they'd be better off taking breeding populations of rapidly reproducing animals like rabbits and guinea pigs. People breed far too slowly, and some of the women they were taking were past reproductive age - even if…

The funny thing is, I still *really* enjoyed V, even though the premise made no sense. I just pretended the Visitors were lying (or being lied to by their superiors) and their real motivation was simply conquest... which still doesn't really work, but it was a fun series.

Yeah. Pet Semetary is a bad, bad film.

*chuckle*

A most thought-provoking post, sir!

Hellraiser....

I casually watched Drag Me To Hell on Sky, but I got bored halfway through and read a magazine. It's rare I don't pay a film my full attention and I can normally enjoy something in the dumbest of horror movies, but this didn't even hold my interest.

Oh, *I* thought it was a fantastic movie, wonderfully acted and beautifully filmed, but *I* didn't find it scary. For whatever reason I was never remotely bothered by movies or TV even when I was very young, and I grew up on a healthy balanced diet of flesh-eating zombies and exploding heads.

I couldn't think of a single significant SF movie I haven't seen, so I looked at two Top 100 lists here and here.

"Sounds like you're giving up."

"...literally incapable of continuing..."

"Unlike men who are one and done..."

It always seemed curious that the Enterprise D had a zampolit on board.

I first heard that on the ODeck a few months ago, and it was exactly what I thought the movie should have said all along.

I was never scared by movies even when I was little, but a film that really bothered me was the Gore Verbinski remake of The Ring. I found the imagery deeply disturbing on some subconscious level. Black Swan did something similar.

I believe the UN predictions involve the population leveling off at around 9 billion mid-century. A lot of people seem to consider this wildly optimistic. I'm not qualified to say, but from my armchair I feel it's optimistic too.

It's a delicate subject, but it's one of the major US political arguments that doesn't even appear on the radar over here in the UK. I think one reason for that is, of course, that religion does not play any significant role in UK politics - it would alienate the electorate.
