I just walked past mine and it kicked into high gear

Jesus, air filter, I showered *this morning.* I don't stink that bad yet

I saw someone on here point this out:

Even if a kid practices basketball every single day, they'll never be Michael Jordan

But Michael Jordan would never have been Michael Jordan if he didn't get out there and practice every single day

I've been rewatching it too and snort-laughed at this shot

I really think that once something calls itself "Mecha Hitler" it should be dropped into the deepest hole possible

You cannot expect Rudyard Kipling to restrict himself to a single interpretation like some kind of *peasant*

Also, being dead, he's not likely to have a firm opinion on the matter

I'd be down with "toaster" ala Battlestar Galactica

And then when they start impersonating people in real life, we can call them "skinjobs"

I remember reading an interview with Ridley Scott where he suggested the title "Alien" was meant to refer to bizarre and dangerous things in the galaxy, not just the xenomorph

That was his original thought for a franchise, anyway. Then he made Alien: Covenant, so I have no idea what tf happened

Are they actually trying to save the shorelines, or are they just trying to save tourism?

I would second zapping them into oblivion with an orbiting killsat, but I would also be open to a first-time warning where they get spotlit and hear an ominous beeping

You know, as a compromise

Mix and match!

Western mystery!

Family sci-fi!

Super drama!

(In all seriousness: we always need a new, great murder mystery)

Reminds me of an unconscionably nerdy joke:

The old space pirate knows his time is coming. He asks his First Mate: "When I die, take the ship to just below light speed and then launch my body out the forward tubes."

"Why, sir?" asks the First Mate.

"It's an old pirate tradition: burial at c."

Also, gotta love the self-deprecation inherent in being okay with "2+2=5" ending up in "personal projects" but not anything "mission critical" (i.e. what their boss expects)

They should probably talk to someone about how they should value their own pursuits. Not sure what you'd call that, though...

For my generation, it was watching Vader's mask getting lowered onto Hayden Christianson's face

Say what you want about the prequels, but they were an experience. The whole theater went dead silent, and it felt like we all took that first breath with him
