    Your top 5 sci-fi movies (and why)

    I'd feel better with a top 100 list, because there are just so many that I think are part of my "must be watched" list. In no particular order, except for the first: "The Day the Earth Stood Still" - A true classic and the first anti-nuke movie. "Forbidden Planet" - Shakespeare in space and a...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There are even some great electronic interpretations of orchestral pieces. I was introduced to the music of Isao Tomita back in the late '70s.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    If you listen all the way through "Tangram", you can probably then recognize their work elsewhere.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I would almost always recognize their work when it started playing, because I owned several of their albums before hearing ever hearing their first movie soundtrack. EDIT - Not the first one that they did, but the first time I remember them doing one.

    At that scale you would tend to think that someone with a high level of responsibility and morality would at least hesitate for a second, rather than jumping straight to "YOU CAN'T HAVE MY KID!"

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    In the case of Facebook the medium and the echo chamber of "friends" is the 'mask.' Sure, people's vies can evolve, but it's a different thing when the person will flip a mental switch on their behaviour simply because, in one situation, they are in danger of being fed their teeth if they...

    No, I don't, but I completely get that. As you said, you don't also have the responsibility for 7 billion other people. And their own children.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I kind of think that the baby thing wasn't supposed to really land in a sympathetic way. They were willing to risk the lives of literally billions for their kid and expected the general public to be OK with it. There's a detachment between The FF and the the average person that I don't think is...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    A starship as big as TNG Enterprise is like a mobile navy base. I guess that just like you would have civilians working at places like the Officers' Club or the Navy Exchange, you would have them shipboard doing non-military tasks as well.
