OK, who's gone helmet-less into an airlock in vacuum?
Monkeys. Yep, animal testing at its finest.
eta, I suppose it might be harder to prove no damage, but, yep, they decided to prove this on monkeys.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ugh.
Did the poor monkeys suffer ear or eye injury?

If I only had a brain...
No, but they did start pounding thighbones on rocks.

Actually, I suppose I should fess up and say I heard this second-hand, and have no cites to prove it. I trust the friend I heard it from (who I've been out of touch with for years) because he was a big science as well as sci-fi nerd, and I'd known him as someone who was outrageously scrupulous about stating facts, but it's still second hand. So I don't know who treated the monkeys this way or how they came out of it, except alive.

Compassionately intolerant
Monkeys + sacrifice
Was anyone else shocked by the packaging vs. reality of Project X?
I went in looking for a screwball comedy and came out blubbering.
In fact, for years, when I needed to have a gut wrenching, put a towel under the door so the neighbors don't call the cops, cry...I'd pop in Project X.
I guess you had to be...me.

Well, I have seen footage of a pigeon and a cat subject to zero-G.
(The cat dealt with it better.)

Escape From L.A. is on USA. I've never seen this, or the first one, but I don't feel like finding anything else and I caught this at the beginning. I'm kind of into it so far. Worth even trying to stay up for without any backstory?

I think I will have to meditate on Hero for awhile. It was a very different movie from what I was expecting, but it was interesting and very beautiful. I think it might be one of those experiences that gets better with time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just came back from Mean Creek which I was expecting to be a lame retread of River's Edge, and was very pleased to discover was a well-written, AMAZINGLY acted little film about one powerful event in the lives of five kids and how it effects each of them. It's not an easy film to watch, but that's because you care about each of the kids. A very satisfying night in the mvies.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

No, Beej. Me too.
I think we're going to see Hero tomorrow. Either that or Alien vs. Predator. I know, but he's buying the tickets, he gets to choose. I will lean, though.
