Or McG!!

This is awful news. Singer's a fine director, but his sensibility and Vaughn's are very different. I don't know how well Singer will do with Vaughn's cast, script and general take on the X-universe, and I don't know how well he fits in with the current superhero movie aesthetic.

I haven't been to the states (apart from a 10 minute visa-crossing), but I'd love to do a "Mystery Spot" tour. I've heard that people have tracked all the spots from the book, and I'd love to do that tour!

This makes me want to re-read American Gods.

Man, I hope Matt Smith's comment about "It's all about Jenna-Louise Colman" doesn't indicate another Doctor-Companion romantic relationship. RTD did it, people loved it, that dynamic is played out, and not what I want from my Doctor Who.

Yes! The plot is to do with some mates doing a pub crawl which ends at the "World's End" pub, but the pub crawl is also tied into the fate of the world.

Hey, don't sell him short: Hank Pym beat his wife in both realities... he just didn't feed wife to ants in the 616 continuity.

Exactly. But he's not exactly the master of either subtly or tackling "big" questions, and Prometheus needed both, which is why I don't think he would have done it justice either.

I feel like we need a mix between the two. Someone who is interested in the larger ideas (like Scott), but still has a good grasp of storytelling and how to get rid of bloat (Cameron). Say what you like about Avatar, but it's story was really boiled down to it's essentials. Something Prometheus could have really done…

Haha! Yes!!

Also 2002: Another Odyssey, in which Kubrick explains that the monoliths were simply devices for delivering hallucinations to humans, and that the ending was just Bowman's hallucination as he died.

I think this was both the best & worst thing about Prometheus. Best as a really well-executed experiment in cross-media storytelling, viral marketing and world-building. Worst as they have this fully realized, multi-faceted world, and the best story they could tell within it was Prometheus. (Also, some of the things…

Yeah, the alt-text (which can't be seen on the jpg, but can be on the original website) reads: "Don't freak out on me! Freak out on Nick Bostrom; I basically stole all this from him. Luckily I'm pretty sure I was programmed to do so by the simulation so I figure: we're cool."

There's a novel in there somewhere!

Amazing! Although I think a better measure is hbar/2, with the time/energy uncertainty relation, as it's an easier thing to talk about.

As always, Ryan North has something relevant to say on the subject!

Or limits on measurement accuracy (*cough* Heisenberg *cough*)

I know! It`s awesome.

And also an alternative 10th Doctor in Curse of the Fatal Death!

Precisely. There are certain molecules that are formed almost exclusively via submersion in liquid water. One of the main things that scientists look for in these searches is these molecules. Their location in the structure of mars can tell you alot about when there was liquid there.
