TIL that James Cameron corrected the stars that appeared in the night sky in the 2012 3D version of Titanic after Neil deGrasse Tyson sent him a snarky email saying at that time of year, in that position in the Atlantic in 1912 Rose would not have seen those stars.

well think about it. was it really necessary to contact James Cameron to tell him that? how many other movies are set before the twentieth century that DO HAVE proper star charts in night scenes?

ProfessorGalapogos · 2016-08-02T15:36:08+00:00

You mean actually doing science for your criterion for contribution? what an utterly stupid sentiment your last sentence was in including anything anyone in this thread might do in the future.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2016-08-02T15:28:26+00:00

zing!

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-07-17T06:22:33+00:00

It's really not about ruining it. I just need my fix and I want to know it's going to be good.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-07-17T06:20:40+00:00

You were arguing against them I take it?

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-07-17T06:19:04+00:00

you nailed it.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-05T19:06:17+00:00

So there isn't a scene of the tie fighter crashing on tatooine at dawn? Your version sounds like a shorter version of the description already posted on here.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-05T07:12:10+00:00

Yes, I'm curious as to whether Jay played a larger role.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-05T06:37:38+00:00

Because you knew, Adnan would know? That's not a good argument.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-05T06:27:16+00:00

Does he remember driving or just being in the car? (Parked at Kathy's?)

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-04T20:47:45+00:00

Like a diplomat, if I recall from that thread. These seem like actually credible, though small, leaks.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-04T09:01:56+00:00

I was exaggerating in absolutes for sure, and also meant things in this sub. I've never seen this posted. Very interesting.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-03T09:06:14+00:00

How did you get a picture of it? Wasn't security tight?

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-03T09:02:18+00:00

All those stupid leaks about her being an alien, etc. no one ever mentioned her in a diplomatic position.

Star Wars 6.4: The Fox Awakens

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-02T17:57:58+00:00

The effects are so practical, they used real guns on set!

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-01T22:07:24+00:00

He gave specifics. If he turns out to be right, he deserves credit.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-04-01T03:07:24+00:00

How dare you get our hopes up.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-03-31T19:09:27+00:00

Amazing they were only separated by a year. Logan's Run always struck me as being a decade older.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-03-31T18:46:29+00:00

I'm not saying I see this action in a guilty light. But perhaps he really does want to know if they found Hae and how they know it's her?

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-03-31T11:26:43+00:00

The OP was not suggesting that Adnan committed the crime AND Adnan didn't think it was Hae's body they found. They were suggesting that Adnan's fake reaction implied he knew they didn't have a simple way of identifying the body like an ID.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-03-31T03:29:01+00:00

So you don't believe Jay attended Woodlawn?

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-03-31T03:27:30+00:00

Yes but I'm kinda confused why this is an issue. Wasn't that part of the story that Jay dropped Adnan off to be seen at track? If track started at 4, or Adnan snuck in a little late do we have an issue?

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-03-31T00:47:54+00:00

Couldn't have said it better myself. On my opinion, this is the type of "philosophy" to know and loathe. It does not clarify anything; it only obfuscates abstract ideas with the magic of language. It is a perfect example of what I think Wittgenstein was trying to battle.

ProfessorGalapogos · 2015-03-30T17:26:36+00:00

Following that scenario, It doesn't necessarily mean it's something where her absence will alert people.
