I recall watching Source Code with an extremely intelligent debatefag sci-fi fan, and afterward, when he said he loved it, I reigned down with three completely different arguments he couldn't satisfactorily refute.

The problem is, this is a useless appeal to authority, because I don't remember the film well enough to go back through said arguments. So. Yeah, abstaining due to ambivalence due to lack of desire to revisit the movie before I have to. (See; gun point, or DIF.) Suffice it to say, the movie had me rolling my eyes and never stopped them rolling.

I stick with the party line we had collectively for "Moon:" this is not perfect sci-fi, and arguably isn't great sci-fi, but I want more movies like this please.

EDIT: It should be noted that my default opinion of Jeff's take on sci-fi is "he's right," but a lot of that is based on his downright unsettlingly impressive thoughts on Primer. However, in this particular instance I wonder about his willingness to doll out benefit of doubt. Source Code ain't no Primer.

It did initially, I had Holden take out the negative votes. I'm also trying to get the "User Karma" thingy off of the identity table on the left.

I wish I could "like" posts on this forum, if so Jeffery's post would have a "like" on it.

Cloe, Lelied and myself are driving down on Saturday and coming back Saturday night. You're welcome to carpool with us, if you don't mind being in back seats.

Not to Minchin...

You know how cows lie down when a storm is coming? Somehow they just sense the moisture in the air and figure it's a safe bet to lie on down?

Well, I'm like a cow lying on the field anticipating a storm of Dorkman.

I refer you to this chart (click for big) and this post, wherein I go into completely invented detail on that very line of thinking!

But for the tl; dr version, here's the relevant passage:

I wrote:

Fantasy universe refers to a lot of things, but as a matter of shorthand - heh - well, this one includes Magic Characters, Magic Technology, AND the other two subcategories of Magic Circumstances - Fictional History and Fictional Sentience. Star Wars, Up, Hook and The Fifth Element all contain magic characters, magic tech, fictional histories and fictional sentiences. (Princess Bride is here too, but it doesn't require a fictional sentience.) Cool, huh? Next time someone asks you what a fantasy is, that might be a handy basis of argument.

I thought about it, but it looks a bit like a bee stung it.

For a supercar of that ilk, I'll take a late-run McLaren F1. (Black with tint, please.)

We will have no official representation at Comic Con this year, but I know that a lot of the regulars and regular-guests will be down there this weekend.

Anyone else going? Maybe we can all grab a beer on Saturday.
