Gravity

Should read "The Dumbest Movie of the Year" 

I know this is off topic but Lisa and I watched the movie Gravity last night.  The only thing good about the whole movie was we didn't drop forty bucks to go see this nonsense at the theatre.  In order for Sci-Fi to be there has got to be some realm of plausability to it and this had none. 

I mean the from the get go you have have one astronaunt working diligently trying to repair the Hubble and at the same time another astronaunt is acting like a yo-yo with his tether and the another is cutting laps around the shuttle while listening to bad country music and making wise cracks. After that it was all down-hill.

At one point Bullock dumps her space suit and then has to use another suit from a soviet spacecraft. Now correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these suits custom designed for only one person. Imean it's not like they are buying these things off the rack at some box store in Cape Canaviral.

And what are the chances that Bullock, who had six months of training before going into space, could succesfully navigate two space modules, one in russian and the other in chinese!  I mean let's face it Spaceballs was more believable.

Here's another hint: if your name isn't Spielberg, Lucas or Howard you do not need to be in a movie written, directed, and produced by the same person .

Needless to say, if you haven't seen this train wreck go spend an hour and a half doing something useful like staring into space. 

Do You Believe In Love at First Sight?

Yeah, me neither. When I first saw "the boat" or "das boot" for all you German majors, I wasn't all that impressed.
