Heh.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
(Like when Tony was in deep space and he let go of the missile, instead of continuing that trajectory and velocity, he fell back to Earth.)
I know, right?? What the hell was that. Joss, you did a whole show set in space. YOU KNOW HOW SPACE WORKS.

Oh, DUDE. Has anyone linked to this Loki figurine yet? It is fabulous! I must have it.
The Infamous BlueJay hasn't yet stopped allcaps shrieking about it to me. Loki is her special damaged/malevolent woobie.

Possibly anything near the portal would be attracted by Earth's gravity?
Quick, who knows astrophysics well enough to tell us if gravitational effects can persist through a wormhole....

Well, since gravity is actually the curvature of space-time, a wormhole is gravity. When Carl Sagan was writing Contact, he made his graduate students do a lot of mathematics to prove that wormholes were theoretically possible.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's my handwave. It was close enough to Earth that Earth gravity spilled through the portal. Clearly enough of Earth's atmosphere got through the portal for the explosion to make noise! jazz hands

Yes, where was the gritty realism of a terraformed planet with a lightning nebula around it, heat shields falling off yet presenting no problem upon re-entry, growling nonverbal lunatics being able to work together well enough to maintain and operate a space fleet for years, and a non-aerodynamic ship falling from low orbit and bouncing but just shaking the occupants up like a roller-coaster ride rather than turning them into strawberry jam?

In other news, I went to see Battleship this afternoon. It was as cliched and corny as everyone says, but also immensely fun. It made good on the twin promises of lots of shit blowing up and Taylor Kitsch looking hotter than the incoming fire, so my money was well spent.

Hey. New board.
It just needs another 225 million to knock Jurassic Park out of the top 20 when adjusted for inflation.
"just" is a funny word. I plan to See it twice, eventually. Summer vacation (and the attendant days-at-daycare-while-not-working) cannot come quickly enough)
