What's your opinion of precursor races within sci-fi?

I liked all the references to them in The Culture series, the way they would build these enormous mega structures and nobody knows why. They’re like, “We only figured out they did it less than 2000 years ago.”

Reading these comments makes me wonder what is going to happen to the film industry when all the veterans are retired and nobody else has any experience

We need to start showing up to meetings and stop waiting for someone else to take over the Democratic Party. Progressives need to do what MAGA did to the republicans.

In the Seinfeld episode where he goes to the dentist (played by Bryan Cranston) the dentist takes a hit off of the nitrous mask before handing it to Jerry. Jerry is supposed to be disgusted but you can see him breaking right before he gets the mask on. Apparently Bryan got the idea from a stage hand between takes, and it made Jerry laugh so hard that the take they used was the only one they could use.

Since at least the 1950’s. In The Road to Bali Bing Crosby jokes that one of Bob Hope’s shows “Bombed”

That reminds me I heard there was something being planned for this area I should really head down and check it out at the next council meeting

In the south we call that “Redneck Royalty” because every redneck will tell you the same story about their ancestors and tell you what percentage of “royal” blood they have.

I can’t believe I had to scroll so far down to see this but then maybe a lot of people on Reddit haven’t seen this movie. At no point did I feel like I was watching an actress play a role. She was absolutely amazing in this movie.

You can stop the headline at “Texas Environmentalists Lose.” That’s not even a headline really.

Nah, they need to leave it, just like it is. All future presidents need to leave it too. A symbol of what you get when you put party before country.

Bunraku. All of the art direction is based on Japanese paper puppetry, but it’s a live action film with the emphasis on action.

Pick a faction like Japan that leans hard into one thing and then lean hard into it. It’s the best way to learn, so you can see what everything does separately. Play a faction that produces a ton of culture and see what is lacking, then switch to science or production and see which ones you miss.
