I saw the newest Transformers movie today. In terms of the cast, there were really only two who I felt were necessary in any way to the development of the film. Optimus Prime and Megan Fox.*
Slate has a spoiler filled review which hits many of the aspects which I think are relevant. I don't watch…
The Worldnutdaily has a headline, Judge in Terri's Case Had Conflict of Interest, which links to this story about Federal District Court Judge Whittemore from a hilariously biased website about Terri Schiavo. The article claims that Whittemore had an "overwhelming conflict of interest in the matter…
Seals are actually able to reduce the temperature of their brains to decrease the amount of oxygen needed to sustain metabolism during dives. In a recent study, the brains of harp (Pagophilus groenlandicus; shown above) and hooded (Cystophora cristata) seals were found to cool by as much as 2.5°C…
Where is my summer?? I thought once July hit and the busyness of June subsided that I'd actually have time to, you know, maybe, relax a bit. Ha! This has been a particularly busy week. The good news is that after today, things do get easier and calmer.

You appear to be unaware that WALL-E is a left-wing plot to brainwash children into thinking pollution is bad and that failure to protect the environment will destroy the earth's habitability. I heard this on the radio while listening to a right-wing talk show, so I know it must be true!
(Are paranoia pills available over the counter or is a prescription required?)
Yes, I thought it was a really good movie too!
Joke about "brainwashing children" all you want, but I actually didn't like the whole Buy & Large anti-capitalism theme that was going on. Too Karl Marx for me.
Othewise, it's a breathtaking film.

you could take it in many ways. b & l obviously became a corporate monopoly that ended up typifying a command economy; i don't think there's a difference between it and the total state really.
1. How did the humans maintain a 700 year consumption based culture in the ship when they had no incoming resources?
2. Why did EVE shoot a gun at any sign of movement, especially at the cockroach? Shouldn't movement be considered a sign of life?
3. At the end, how did the humans walk on earth when their bone density was nonexistent?
4. The system of depositing the probes on earth. What's more likely, this movie's system or, say, Star Wars' system? (i.e. individual probes making the journey themselves versus a huge probe ship individually making drop-offs and pickups over and over)
5. How did Wall-E hang on to the returning probe ship during warp drive?
6. If the humans had warp drive, why didn't they find another planet to colonize instead of pining for a decayed waste dump? Are the creators of Wall-E suggesting that earth is the only habitable planet in the galaxy?
7.
The only real question might be - how did they fit all of humanity into a ship that seems to be relatively small? Perhaps they are expecting some massive die-off in the future which is why there weren't any asians or mexicans in the movie.
