Unlike many of my peers, I'm not afraid of science (Mama was an aerospace engineer), and the science in this is all bang-on perfect. I do take issue with the idea that religion made us bad, somehow. In my experience, religion is generally used as a justification for what people wanted to do anywa...

This was the first Al Stewart song I ever heard. I'd never heard of the guy, I just found the album in a cut-out bin for a buck in like 1991, thought the cover art looked interesting, and picked it up. Instantly fell in love with it. Check out his album "Between The Wars" if you get a chance.

@JesusFreakMathGeek6 : Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out.

@envyme1991: There, there, dial it back a bit. Maybe just shoot 'em in the foot...

Interesting. How old is this mall? It looks familiar, and I'm thinking it might be one I visited around 1971. If so, it had a different (But equally huge) fountain in those days, with lots of buckets that'd fill and then tip over into a large basin at the bottom. If anyone knows anything about th...

back around 1971, when I was a little kid, I went to a mall in Sherbrooke and there was this HUGE fountain inside with lots of buckets and things. Water would fill the buckets, and then they'd tip over and pour into other buckets, which would then tip over, or it would simply pour directly into t...

Snazzy! I love your stuff, I tell my homeschooling parent friends to show 'em to their kids. Would you be interested in being interviewed by my website? We've spent a good deal of time and energy trying to convince my fellow conservatives that science is swell, and not something to be afraid of. ...

Shiny! I wish I had the skills to pull off something like this.

(Dig the Quark Garbage Scow in the background of that one shot, BTW)

Not a bad voice, but she really doesn't have a lot of range, does she?

@shmuli9: Prrrrrrrobably not appropriate subject matter for a Youtube comments section, since it's all kinds of gross, and not at all related to the video, or Space: 1999. But, yeah, funny story. I've got that one in an anthology around here somewhere...

would that there was a studio version of this. sigh. (sorry to be so terse. carpal tunnel. typing w/ only 1 hand today.)

@shadowfaqs I've been there a dozen times before it became the "Nemo" thing. I always came in through the Hydrovators. I never saw or even heard of the seacabs before now! Seriously: where were they? I never even saw an exit for them into the seabase.

@AdrianaxPiranha: Well, the books are clearly far superior to the movie, but the movie really wasn't bad taken on its own merits. My kids discovered the books because of the movie, and loved 'em, so, as a commercial for the novels, it worked.

Here's the thing: as terrible as Logan's Run is, it's got Michael York, and the smokin' hot Jenny Argutter to keep you occupied. In this trailer? Kinda' nothing...

When I was 15 or 16 I liked Autograph, and the metal heads at my high school beat me up for admitting it. I think maybe they were right to do it...

@Ultraxwing : Will do. Thanks!

Man, this was a terrible album. I just got rid of my copy. I'm reasonably sure it wasn't even an official release, it's more like goofing-around outtakes from a *real* recording session. OTOH, I love her first album. Anyone out there ever find any of her "Plastic Has Memory" stuff?

"The patron saint of furtive pot smoking." Man, this stuff is great!

Does anyone know who the dancer is in this video? She looks familiar, like I should know who she is, but I can't place her.

Kinda' weird that this song is about Paulina Poriskova, and yet there are no pictures of her.

@mzwere1 Depends on the year, really. I mostly agree with what you said, but, f'rinstance, I didn't dig the whole "Thrift Shop" thing around 1987.

So what are we looking at here? Is this a trailer for an upcoming fan film, or is it just someone mucking about with CGI?

@shortbus999: That's good to know. I'll have to check 'em out.

"Hey, look, I can edit!"

I like the song, but it seems a little odd to mention the Challenger disaster and not mention Komarov, who died on a Vostok mission, and Dobrovolski, Patsayev, and Volkov, who died in the Soyuz 1 disaster in 1970. Equal time due. The fire in the sky has claimed 18 people so far.

Say, that's an Apple ]I[ that Mokie is fiddling around with!

How old is this documentary? Given that we've been running Iraq for a decade now, I can't imagine the situation is the same as shown here. Is this kind of thing still a problem? Does anyone know?

Ah, man, such cool, pretty, utopian stuff. Like a theme park. Who doesn't want to live in a theme park? And man, that Soviet pavilion is impressive, even if it does look like a bowling trophy.

@granddad2002: Wouldn't it be easier to dispense with the sidemounting entirely, and just go with a straight stack? Take a Saturn V type vehicle, with some SRBs strapped on. Stage three could be a 'wet workshop' kind of thing to be drained in orbit, and the cargo could be a 'dry' habitat, ready t...

Sadly, we'll likely never see an SGA movie

"If will take a decade at least if we are to win our independence. If we are to lose, any time less than that will do." Confederate President Jefferson Davis, 1861

This is the greatest thing in the entire history of things!

Henceforth and forever, when I see a condom dispenser in a gas station, I shall say "Where is this romance headed?"

Dude! Nice job with the completely CGI gate! How did you do that?
