Sorry, I just loved the book

middle resembling Jabba’s Palace from the Return of the Jedi.

The one “alien invasion” book I’ve always wanted to see made into a movie is Niven and Pournelle’s Footfall.

I’ve always suspected that when Katzenberg left Disney to form Dreamworks (he’s the “K” in “Dreamworks SKG”) he took with him scripts that were currently in production, e.g., A Bug’s Life (Disney/Pixar) and Armageddon (Touchstone, a Disney company), vs Antz and Deep Impact (both Dreamworks).

My daughter just read _The_Young_World_ (Chris Weitz, 2015, Little Brown pub.), which not only sounds like Logan’s Run, but also directly references the movie in an conversation between two characters. In the book everyone dies when they turn 18 (albeit due to biological conditions rather than state-enforced…

To add more ammunition to your argument, you can use this data:

I was watching Logan’s Run a few years ago and realized that the “transporter” (as you described it) is the logical extension of “online dating.” This was before Tinder (...or at least before I heard about Tinder), which itself is the next evolutionary step toward Logan’s sex-partner “transporter”.

To the Luddites who bash automated cars, I have some bad news for you: We already have driver assisted cars. Besides self parking cars, we have cars with anti-lock brakes that “pump” your brakes faster than you can. (I even believe at one time insurance companies gave discounts for cars with anti-lock brakes.) We have…

Denver is probably known for its omelet and the boot (which is not a food, I know).

Definitely this.

I probably have well over 600 CD albums in my basement.

My Advanced Assembler professor in college (this was in 1985, kids) recommended "The Adolescence of P1." A self aware computer program comes back to its programmer and asks for help because it's gotten itself in some kind of trouble...or something like that.

From the headline and the photograph of the train, I assumed this article was going to be about the invention of the motion picture. One of the earliest films demonstrating this new technology was that of a train heading toward the cameraman (which, I've read, caused viewers to duck under theater seats). The motion…

I'm not sure when we started using hours, but we started referring to minutes when we all began wearing digital watches.

While little to do with the end of the world and all to do with CNN, I miss Lynn Russell of Headline news.

Most here are probably too young to remember, but there were more catastrophic predictions for the grand planetary alignment in 1982. I remember listening to KBPI in Denver and DJ Pete MacKay gave hourly announcements for the end of the world. As far as I recall, it didn't happen, although I was only 18 at the time.
