Also tons of floating pens in this movie. I think she even throws/hits one at one point.

That's essentially my reading of the film, especially that fetus moment. However I would say that she doesn't actually start really fighting for survival until after she finds out the Soyuz's booster fuel tanks are empty and shuts off the O2 to the cabin. Only then has she really decided that she wants to live, and…

True enough, and I'm not going to argue against it because apparently even Cuaron has admitted he cheated reality to tell the story he wanted to tell.

Your cat stays in (*allows) its harness? Wow you're lucky. When I first got mine we tried to simply stick a collar on her she hated it and found a way to Houdini out of every single one, no matter what latch type. She's purely an indoor cat so it's not much of an issue, but man it was annoying.

Well going with the whole re-birth allegory; I took the bit with the suit in the water as a symbol for shedding the last vestiges of her depression before being fully reborn back on Earth. As such, ending it any other way than hopeful is a betrayal of the story they wanted to tell. If you really want to end it all…

Shhhh, speaketh not of book theory here, especially since certain characters don't even exist on the show... yet.

While I wouldn't say it was as good or anywhere near as influential, I've always really enjoyed Savini's take on Night of the Living Dead.

Yar, I'd have to agree with you. Got to drive a friend's 335i for a while and came away with pretty much the same conclusion. The steering was nice and weighty but still numb, the brake pedal worked but it felt really vague until your were standing completely on it, and the thing was just too heavy around a turn. In a…

The silence of the car at those speeds makes no sense to me. Conversely, when he came up behind the race 'Vette, it's low growl felt like a comfortable warm blanket I wanted to stay in forever.

I know this is more of an engineering thing, but if they added some lightness and steering/pedal feel back into the cars I'd be pretty satisfied. When the new Lexus IS 350 is more sporting than a 3-series, you know things have taken a bad turn.

Really, that simple act of kindness was one of my favorite parts of the race, especially after the tragedy of the engine blowing up on the last lap.

Dat Hot Lap! Day = made. So thanks for that.

Speaking as someone who drives moderately faster than traffic already anyway, I'd say that as long as you're staying out of the left/passing lanes or actively preventing them from passing you, you're not the the one doing anything wrong.

I know that's a line from the movie, but considering our speed limit here in SD is mostly 65, I'd say it's still appropriate!

Beautiful track, but there should be a flux capacitor design right about here. Would make it perfect.

'Muricaring?!

Just watched a Leno's Garage where he got to take this for a spin at Pebble Beach. He was talking to Walliser (project lead) and found out that the MPG using the US test cycle is closer to 45 mpg, so not as impressive as about 80 mpg. BUT STILL, 45 mpg out of a car that can to that? And it can run on battery only for…

Hehe true enough.

Yup, Porsche engines are generally known for being pretty solid under regular use, so putting a lot of low maintenance miles on this wouldn't surprise me at all.
