Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I love love love Sneakers as well, and I am surprised no one else jumped on this comment.
Well, I love caper movies in general, but one with Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn, Ben Kingsley, River Phonenix, and a conspiracy-theorist Dan Aykroyd? Who wouldn't love it?
Michael Wincott
God! How could I have forgotten Michael Wincott! One of my favorite favorite hottie actors. Er, for certain, Emily-created definitions of hottie, obviously*.
(* Ones which includes Danny Trejo.)

I love it. Clearly, we should sit up and watch it and drink Fernet one night. Yes.
THE FLY at least gave lip service that because the machine couldn't work out the differntial between fly and human, it fused them at a genetic level. With ALIEN RESURRECTION, your not just talking about a sandwich you ate, your talking about one that you threw up (granted, in Ripley's case it was horizontally throwing up, but the point stands).
That said, science aside, hybrid!Ripley was one of the more enjoyable things in the movie.

I like this plan.

The problem I had with The Fly is that there would be lots & lots of genetic material in the booth; did they somehow distinguish between a fly and a bacterium?
Danny Trejo is a stud.
I was reading reasons not to buy a hybrid car and they say:
It takes more energy to manufacture a hybrid than to a regular car. Compare the energy consumed by a HUMMER and a Prius over their entire lives (including the gas they will consume), a Prius will consume more than a HUMMER.
Seriously?

Hey, it worked for Dr. Who.
Count me in on the Sneakers love too. In fact, it's been a while since I have watched it, so I may need to watch it this weekend.
YAY

I doubt it. I note they do not document it. A car consumes a whole more in operating expenses over lifetime than in manufacturing energy. Depends on what hybrid. There are hybrids that get fairly low mileage, putting the extra power from the battery into better performance rather than less gas use. And even with most efficient hybrids there are very efficient conventional models that come close. But a decent hybrid (like the prius) to a Hummer which gets freakin low low milege - does not pass smell test. Out of curiousity I'll look it up.
