Once I happened to turn Prince of Egypt on when the song "Let it Rock" was playing, and it synced up with the Staffs being turned into Snakes perfectly.

That may have been the case I was thinking of when writing that. But I think if they were in America, they stand a good chance of getting away with it.

The biggest risk factor by far is just genetics… people with autistic siblings are more likely to be autistic themselves. My personal theory is that it's related to an increased age in having children (which is a risk factor too, I think). It's an interesting and complex disease…. I don't think it will be sorted out…

Exactly, but again, these are people coming from an immensely privileged background of safe, plentiful food, where they can be picky about what they eat, rather than having to forage stuff from the forest floor, or prepare things that could be toxic if not cooked right.

I got the impression that Andrew Wakefield was always in the bowls of the ship like a morlock, and she never saw him in direct sunlight.

I'd also worry that too many bad DC movies might hurt Marvel's output, even if it's good. We've not gotten exhausted with superheroes yet, but I can imagine that we will in the next few years.

God I would love to see Batman rescue a princess from a Castle and find out it was a dude like in Holy Grail.

Aquaman Destroys Japan!

Yes… I think I realized that now. Where we you 5 comments ago :)

I bet they think it is more like Chickenpox, rather than a disease that rapidly depopulated remote Polynesian island communities and (probably) a lot of the Americas.

See, now you're just being a fucking snot. Maybe when you get out of high school you'll know better.

Oh, the Full Spartan.

No one's stopping Andrew Wakefield from putting that movie up on youtube though. Tribeca is putting it's status behind any movie they chose. It seems like it's no different from any other situation where it turns out that a documentary is fake or propaganda. You don't need that noise for a film festival.

I think you're looking for a strictly religious upbringing. You only have to buy one book, and no one will tell you what to do.

Nah, Tribeca would be well within it's rights to withdraw *any* documentary that turned out to have highly fake information or conspiracy theories, or any other sort of major problem that renders it a bad documentary. I could imagine it being slipped in without any complaint because people are busy.

Nah, watching your kid slowly die from a preventable illness is a lot more bang for even less money.

The Autism community is also deeply awash in bullshit. I had an otherwise smart friend start working with autistic children as her job, and come out thinking vaccines are bad for you. It's practically a cult, and I can understand why… autism is a disease without any clear cause, and you naturally try to find…

Can I ask, what is Loose Change? When the hosts of How'd It Get Made make 9/11 jokes, they're always shouting that :)

Promoting vaccine refusal promotes disease. There are a ton of science papers that track outbreaks of measles right down to the towns that have a high proportion of people that refuse vaccines. Showing that movie promotes vaccine refusal.

Their rational (and it pains me to know this) is that the real diseases aren't that bad, that the real disease give you better immunity, and that the vaccines do weird stuff to you.
