Posted by Doc | September 6, 2013, 12:34 PM‘Galaxy Quest’ is the exact opposite of a fish out of water film. The alien ship they travel to is built according to the specifications of the TV show so they are familiar with everything on it even thought they have never been there and the aliens have modeled many of their behaviors on the actions of the character from the show.

Posted by Dwayne | September 5, 2013, 6:24 PMOne of the amazing things to come out of this Internet thing is a podcast called ‘The After Disaster’. They just passed the 200 episode mark and the chemistry between the 3 participants, Anderson Cowan, Mike Carano and Tyler White never ceases to amaze. The latest episode had me in stitches during the discussion of a ‘worst job’ and the tough things that need doing that practically no one knows about. Rarely do tears roll when I listening at the office but I couldn’t help it this time.
It may take a bit of an investment to catch up but well worth the effort. Anderson tries to fill in the new listeners if an inside joke crops up:

I think it is a real improvement that you guys do the spoilers after the show, giving everyone that does not want to listen a chance to turn it off. Thank you for that. Much better than before.
Logan, for what it’s worth, I would recommend every movie on Bryan’s list, including the also ran’s. Especially the 80’s stuff. Great list!

Posted by Ben Cacace (@NYCbirder) | August 30, 2013, 11:26 AMSo Bryan, let me get this straight.
You were “bumped” by the fact that the robots in Pacific Rim were built less than 10 years into our future. You were similarly bumped by the timing proposed in Oblivion (60ish years into the future) and the technology found in that movie.
And yet, when it comes to Source Code, you had *no* issues with the idea that, in today’s world, we can dip into one person’s final brain memories and then EXTRACT THE ENTIRE WORLD? They use the one guy’s memories to extract the train, every single person on the train, the train stop, the bathroom in the train stop, how a guy in the train stop bathroom will behave when being stalked, what the train stop parking lot will look like, etc. These are all things that the memory guy had zero personal interaction with … how can they possibly put an entire world into motion based on one man’s memory?
You have no issue with this? This is one of the *thinnest* sci-fi plot premises I have ever seen. And you called Source Code a “smart” sci-fi movie?
Please tell me you at least thought this movie was set 200 years in the future … or whatever time frame makes all sci-fi movies plausible in your opinion.
