Star Wars was immediately answered by Alien. As in, literally filmed in answer to.

So here’s a thing: Star Trek is only slightly younger than my parents. I would honestly be shocked at this point if it were still managing to be as relevant now as it was when it began (or even, hell, when it was a 20 year old in TNG). For better or worse, Star Trek is a brand before it is anything else. Brands are…

In case anyone cares to actually UNDERSTAND the issue, residential water usage is a tiny part of a much larger problem. Focusing on the insignificant stuff is exactly what shifts attention from the real problem. California agriculture uses the vast majority of the water, 80%. Residential uses just 20%. Of that, only…

Jerry from Enemy Mine. Not only is the movie an excellent racial and cultural allegory, he in particular is such a well nuanced, principled, selfless warrior/parental figure with a wonderful sense of humor and one of the greatest fully realized portrayals of an alien character by any actor other than Leonard Nimoy.…

If by “unprecedented political transformation”, you mean:

Also, are we really picking apart the fact that the calm-Hulk-down move is called a “lullaby”? Hulk is like a giant, raging child. It makes total sense. The fact that Natasha is the key just speaks to their relationship.

Obviously photoshopped. They didn't crash a real Star Destroyer.

Amen x 1000.

There's going to be a lot of words written about this trailer. Analysis and frame by frame and all that good stuff. But I only need to say one thing.

Good thing your life doesn't depend on reading the body language of big cats.

Disagree. Lion's face is full on "GTFO I KILL YOU NOW!" There is 0% "friendly" going on here.

it's impossible to understate how poorly this stuff reflects on the US to outsiders. a while ago I had someone from Kenya ask me about all the cop shootings going on back home, saying how horrible it is. you know things are bad when someone from Kenya shows you sympathy for shit happening in your home country.

I am guessing four. Three to link all four lengths together at their ends and then the fourth to make the circle attaching to two end points. But that seems too easy. Is there a way to do less?

Every week! For some reason many on this site get rage boners from hating Interstellar because of one scene of a wistful, deluded, lovesick astronaut losing her objective, scientific focus for a moment. I did not know so many expected a graduate level course on astrophysics starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne…

The little girl in Adventures in Babysitting did.

You all are forgetting rule one with Congress and agencies that receive funding. How much goes to my state? NASA has a long rich history with Texas. I would not be surprised that Senator Cruz was tossing questions at Bolden that he knew Bolden had snappy answers to. This way Cruz can act as the mouthpiece for the…

On any film set, there's maybe 1 person who really knows what they're doing, and usually it's the DOP. Everyone, even the director, basically worships the DOP because that's who makes everything look good. Everyone else then delegates all their own work to the grips, who are usually off smoking weed between takes…

The stock market was soaring in 2007. The iphone was released. The stock market crashed in 2008. The iphone caused the stock market to crash.

Throwing it out there. (my own conspiracy theory)
