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.
My personal theory about Sneakers is that it is so universally beloved and acknowledged to be made of awesome that it frequently gets left out of lists and conversations.
I like to think that there are actually many many people out there who have never heard of it but would love it if they only had the chance to see it, so therefore it's my duty to watch it with them and share the joy.
OK - apparently there was a study Spinella called "Dust to Dust" that was an attempt at a LCA assessment, that came to that conclusion. Thing is there is nothing inherent in a hybrid that should result in that much energy being put into it.
I probably haven't seen it.
I was thinking if you're not busy I could stop by for a bit afterward. It bothers me that I go months without seeing people who are actually geographically close to me.
I'm working tomorrow night, but I always enjoy vistors - drop me a line and I'll let you know where/when.

Was this about Sneakers? If so, Woohoo-- thanksgiving!
Here's more on the theory. Still looking...

Insent!
Years ago, I read something to the effect that the average car would use up twice as much energy being driven around (over the car's entire lifespan) as it would take to make the car in the first place (counting energy used in the steel mill to make the steel, etc).
So yeah, I have my doubts about that study too....
I quite liked Aliens: Resurrection, though the final scene is cheesy. The scene between Ripley and her "baby" is pretty heartbreaking, actually. And now I totally see the mapping between the smugglers and Firefly--and it's neat seeing Ron Perlman doing things.
