I don’t mean the gore in Picard, I just mean Picard was a terrible experience to watch.
What Event Horizon fantasies?

Transporter malfunction. And not the fun kind, the death kind.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is rated G, for fuck’s sake, with the hardest scene to watch in any Star Trek until Picard.

Accepting the one true faith ain’t exactly as simple as taking off one’s shoes.

Reply to comment by Eroe777 in TIL the phrase “you can’t handle the truth” was created/ improvised by Jack Nicholson. The movie's original screenplay boasted the line "You already have the truth," which Nicholson trimmed to "You can't handle the truth." by SixedSigma
If you listen to the recordings from the mission it’s remarkable how calm and collected the astronauts were. I know it’s hard to overemphasize how much training they go through but still, I can’t imagine being understated while flying through space in a metal can that’s falling apart.

It was adapted from the play by Aaron Sorkin. And with that line becoming better known than the movie or the play, I wonder if it has been inserted into the play now. It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened. I actually missed a local production not too long ago so I can't say.

You saying consumerism is like alcoholism? One drink is too many, two is fine, three isn’t enough?

They made that dumb James Franco movie just to get around the copywriter claims. There’s this weird workaround through the book of Wicked and making the witch green, it’s complicated.

Disney had the rights to The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz, on which the movie was based. They had to make a movie before those books became public domain.

The French had scan-line fax machines in the 1850’s right?

I can’t prove there isn’t a cure and that was never my claim. You claimed there is a cure and can only Gish gallop when put on the spot.
