Ahhh, Gotcha

I've known people who had to drive 4hrs round trip to go from home to college before. If you can't afford
and apartment and have to live a home.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are one of the few things I look forward .

FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK..........

WOW, you don't see that everyday...

And it looks like he is going to make good with the Alien sequel, by connecting it with the first 2 movies,
yet somehow not undo 3 and 4? Not sure how thats going to happen, but I can't wait to see it.

Probably just becuase of the nostalgia factor, having seen this many, many times when it played on HBO when I was a kid, but I thought the movie was pretty cool. Esp the giant sets, and the way they were free from people moving about, gave it that creepy, dreamlike quality.
And the score, to me, always seemed haunting IMO. You guys may know more about music perhaps because you know how to write and read music, but for someone who listened to this when he was like 6 it was pretty cool.
Didn't mind that it was played over certain scenes, like the blaster shootout.
And the ending to me was just for effect, didn't really matter if it was accurate. To me it was just cool way to show something that can only theorize still.  The Captain ended up becoming one with his creation.
If you guys have seen the movie Interstellar yet, it also has a similar improbable ending, but of course it's Nolan
so it will be praised, lol.

Oh, BTW, Vincent and BOB look completely different(Vincent has a round top and Bob has a 'Devo" style top) and have 2 completely functions. Vincent even says it when first meeting BOB.
And speaking of things like the dining room and the chandelier, thats all explained earlier when Borgnine was explaining how the guy bilked the tax payers into paying for the 'grandiose' ship. Just listening to the guy
speak you can tell that he would def have a captains setup like that. Not really fair comparing it to the ISS, lol,
when this was supposed to be more like Star Trek future.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the gravity from the black hole make it necessary to use thrusters
to speed up and slow down when approaching the larger ship?

Noah was fucking awesome. That is all.....

OK, IDK why anybody would even think this, but Jennifer Connelly DID NOT have a breast reduction! If yo look at her in this movie, even, she isn't that big. The only time she looks large, is when she is in a role where she has gained a little weight, because if you know anything about women, those things expand and contract as her dress size changes. If you are married, or just have a girlfriend that has been pregnant, you would she this dramatically. Sure they get bigger because of the milk thing, but allot of it is due to the extra fat that a woman gains.
My wife has a very large B-Size, but over the last 15 yrs I have known her, she has been on diets, and before that was pregnant with our daughter.  They have been down to a 32D, up To a 36EE, now back down to a 38DDD.   
The only actress that is confirmed for sure that had a breast reduction is the Punky Brewster girl.

LOL

OK, I haven't written anything for awhile, mostly because I haven't need to I guess.
But there was something that was said by just about everyone, right after they
download the data from the factory owner guy into Damien's head. It was about
how Matt kept holding his head every once and awhile and has a fit. You guys said it
was unclear why he was doing this, and that maybe it was the radiation or something,
and that the movie didn't make it clear.
OK, maybe it seemed clear to me, I don't know why, but the reason for Matt's fits/headaches
were due to the corrupted data that he received into that chip in his head. I thought it
seemed obvious, since the Sandro guy was barking about how "the data is corrupted",
and Matt orders him to redo it, and then the bad guys show up. Well anyway, Matt was
fine the entire time until immediately after the download into his head. Maybe there should
have been some dialog there from Matt like "damn, my head, that download is messing me
up!", but to me it would have been too forced, especially during an action sequence.

OK, so you know that I sometimes feverishly try to defend the logic of movies that I love. Well I love this movie, seen it so many times I just don't know. But holy shit does it have some fucked up science in it. I clearly remember the scene where he was braising the heavy cables to the wall toward the end, to get the "power", lol, and I remember thinking that they do uses solar panels in this fashion.
But the most important thing about it is that there was NO POLARITY!! How can you run any AC or DC powered components with just positive or negative, well you simply can't.
Also, and probably the most important wacky science/engineering mess up is the "reactor" powered ship!!
I don't know if most  people know how a nuclear reactor powered submarine works, but it is basically a steam engine because thats all the reactor does is turn water into steam which powers turbines and that powers the generators. all of the motors on those subs and aircraft carriers are electric.
So back to our movie ship. You are telling me that A:there was enough room to have a crap load of water for cooling and for the steam turbine. and B: When he pulled out the reactor rods, the ship shut down as if he was pulling out the batteries, LMAO, when of course the steam turbine that they somehow found space for would still be moving, and there would be shit tons of batteries for storage as a buffer between the steam generator and the ship power distribution grid.

Oh, and  Mike is funny as shit when he is shit faced, LMAO, us Mikes are always the life of any party, lol.

There doesn't seem to be a thread started for this episode. Hmmm....

Anyway. I just wanted to say that as far as the plot for this movie goes,
I remember clearly when I first watched this movie at age 14 in the theater,
that the reason for them all being split up was due to there not being any
ghosts anywhere to catch.
I think that people forget that even in the first movie that they had never, ever
seen a ghost till the library scene, and that the only reason that that library ghost
was there at all was because of the "Gozer Day" approaching. As soon as they got rid
of Gozer they would NOT be able to see ANY ghost, let alone catch them, and would be
forces to go back doing whatever they were doing before. Now that they had part 2
to see, we were able to actual see them go back to there regular jobs. When the
new threat come about, and the supernatural activity is back to levels where it
can be detected by humans again, they are back in business.
Basically ts like this: The Ghostbusters live in the same world we do. If there
had been no gozer day, they  would have still been kicked out of the university
and most likely be in these jobs that they are in now, minus the Ghostbusters party gigs.
