To hell with more cowbell, everything needs more Bruce Campbell.

The Everest disaster took place around 1995. A TV movie dramatizing the subject was made in 1997. This new film is two decades on.

Isn’t that true of everything which doesn’t already have Bruce Campbell in it?

I am currently reading a lot of Naruto-based fanfiction. At Fanfiction.net, you can look at some useful stats on a story, like its length, number of reviews, number of ‘favorites’ and ‘follows’. I’ve developed a rule of thumb on the ratio between ‘favorites’ and ‘words’ that gives me a rough index to decide whether to

I’ll agree that I’m not interested in a Jobs biopic either, but there’s plenty of compelling conflict to mine in him growing one of the first companies of its kind, being forcibly ousted from it, only to come back and turn it into a world-changing juggernaut. And this is ignoring his relationship with his estranged

OOH! I’ll play!

I have every confidence that it will not be as great as the original trilogy but will be vastly better than the prequel movies.

Can anyone educate me why these weapons are called batarangs?

Clarke also wrote 2010, 2061 and 3001. I consider him to be the legitimate matriarch of the series. Kubrick helped make 2001 with him. But Clarke was the one responsible for the bulk of the science and he continued to care for the series well into the future.

BMI is a system used to evaluate health not physical appearance. Overweight on BMI is overweight medically. Suggesting your dietary and lifestyle choices are negatively affecting your health. If you feel physically attractive then that’s fine. But if your BMI indicates a classification of “overweight” it suggests a

Occam’s razor tells us not to assume more than is necessary to explain something. If there are competing hypotheses to explain something, always go with the one that makes the fewest assumptions. Don’t multiple entities (Using “entities” in a philosophical sense.).

...and being the smartest guys in the room doesn’t count as evidence. ...and a doctorate from MIT ,or wherever, isn’t evidence, nor is walking on the moon evidence of alien visitation.

Your rationality is flawed in the extreme. If someone has more “direct experience” with, say, the ocean tells you that dolphins are actually cybor servants left over from some pre-historical super-advanced extinct civilization, you wouldn’t doubt it?

give us one piece of scientifically verifiable evidence. Evidence that holds up to scrutiny that proves being from another planet have visited. Eyewitness statements don't count. Unexplainable radar blips don't count. Things that aren't explained, aren't evidence of anything. Do that and I will believe you.

Some of us have been calling out Jobs for decades. He was a thief and an egomatic whose best attribute was his unwavering belief in his own over estimated abilities. Stealing tech happens all the time in business, but jumping the donor list in Tennessee by buying a house there was just plain scummy. Still, I half

I’m surprised to see anyone commend him on his voice. I don’t even think he looked that much like him. Ashton Kutcher just has such a distinct voice and face (much more model-ly than Jobs). I admit they did a good job with his hair and makeup but it just felt so much like Ashton Kutcher to me. It just looked like

That’s all well and good, but Michael Fassbender is a phenomenal actor, and Ashton Kutcher is not. My money is on Fassbender.

I certainly hope he isn’t portrayed as some kind of tortured genius who ‘we all just don’t get’ and, in the end, are supposed to identify with as being on his side.

Counterpoint: He is not Michael Fassbender. Anyone that’s not Michael Fassbender being compared to Michael Fassbender will inevitably end up in the losing side of said comparison. This is a fact.

Dare I say this looks a bit Lovecraftian?
