    In reply to New Martians Sighted In Carter Cast Announcement
    maybe some of youare excited but i wonder why i feel like this is just another raping of my youth.
    i happen to love these books and still own them and read some again last year.

    these books should be an R Rated film with lots of violence and nudity......
    i compare this to maybe like a conan the barbarian type movie........................
    well are you still optimistic about this knowing it is Disney/Pixar ????
    i am feeling like a G -PG kiddie film coming strong and that is going to suck

    I like this! I have for years held a major crush on Samantha Morton. Ever since minority report and made it a effort to see all of her films.

    I`m all for Samantha Morton and Willem Defoe.

    They find a better cast than Taylor and Lynn . But I guess it`s too late .

    @disatess: Disney did preliminary work on an animated version of A Princess of Mars back in the early 1930s, so it's like the book has come home.

    @Whitworthian: I got an old printing of "princess of mars " from 1917 .
    And I didn`t see a disney logo on it .

    I did see rough animation for that , though it would be great in it`s own way .
    But it would still fall short from the book .

    In reply to New Martians Sighted In Carter Cast Announcement
    I'm excited for this, because Pixar can do no wrong, and ERB wrote the original space opera. But I'm a little leery about the reception of this, because it will have to be absolutely perfect to be successful. Otherwise people will be saying "oh, it just rips off Star Wars/Avatar." And when they do that, a little part of me will die.

    @Wookie1972: And yet the books and characters are older than both starwars/Avatar. so think nothing about it.

    @disatess: That's what I meant. Even if they point out in the ads that it was written almost 100 years ago, people will *still* perceive it in that way.

    In reply to 6 More Heroes Who Might Still Be Trapped In Virtual Reality
    It's intellectually impossible to determine if a given set of characters (or we ourselves) live in a simulated reality. The theory is, if it possible for any civilization to get sufficiently advanced to create a simulation undistinguishable from actual reality, then the simulated civilizations within the sim have an equal probability of achieving that as well (and also that multiple such sims would be run multiple times). Thus, if there is one sim, there is an infinite number. based on those odds, chances are we are living in a simulated reality right now, but there's absolutely no way to prove it.

    I thought the reason why Red Dwarf had so many continuity errors was because Grant/Naylor really didn't give a crap about it, and filmed whatever worked at the time because "it worked". Cause I'm cool with that.

    The Lem piece sounds like a drama-ridden version of Jorge Luis Borges' "The Library of Babel."

    In reply to Minority Traffic Report Detects Accidents Before They Happen
    If only there were some sort of technology whereby people could get into a transport device that they wouldn't have to drive!


    We could even make it big so that people who are all going to the same place could get onto the same one!


    But what would we call such a thing?!
