Gravity

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Done. Decent movie even with all the technical flubs.

Dumb title, though. Should have been titled Cascade.

Lol. I assume that's a joke.

This might have been an April Fool's Day joke by the film maker himself. Pimping the "cut" scene. Stick around to the end.

He's not wrong. He didn't point out anything that didn't occur to me when I watched it.

Doesn't mean it's not still a fun movie. Just not an accurate one.

I enjoyed it.

No. He did them on his podcast when he tweeted them. This new thing is by someone else who has a regular thing where he nitpicks movies, and since he was doing Gravity he used snippets from Tyson's prior work since it meshed so well.

All Tyson did now is give permission for their use. That's hardly whore-like behavior. And I'm not even certain he did that, since IIRC his podcast is done under Creative Commons and if so no permission would be required.

I'm betting he dropped one of your bunnies into a super collider long ago.
