Venkman carries thorazine around with him. Just in case.
It’s grimly amusing to watch this movie now vs 4 decades ago. Venkman in the 80s is a lovable rogue. Venkman seen through the lens of 2023 is an abusive asshole who might drug women. He uses his position of power to lie his way into getting “dinner” with a young woman.
How much of that is Murray rather than the character?
It’s an interesting exercise to watch movies from back then to see what today is shocking behaviour. Anyone have any movies they used to love but now are embarrassed by?
The article says that they’re binaries, and that the prevailing scientific opinion says they were ejected from young star systems as they form.
I’d like to see the gravitational context in which 2 Jupiter sized masses are flung out of a system together.
Maybe it’s rare and we’re seeing those few times it happened?
(No I’m not saying it’s aliens. Just that I want to understand how a binary leaves a star system. Wouldn’t the ejection gravity “assist” also fuck up the binary attraction?)
Don’t engage with the hexbear trolls.
The Hail Mary currently. Just such a cool ship from a fun book. To think about what would go into building it and what that means to humanity is humbling.
Other notables:
- Enterprise E from First Contact because it looks cool.
- Cygnus from The Black Hole
- Sulaco from Aliens
- Trimaxion Drone Ship from Flight of the Navigator
- The Abominator-class Offensive Unit Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints (my usual favourite lol)
This is the coolest ask Lemmy I’ve ever seen!
So are you saying you have defed’d hexbear, or that you won’t? I’m confused, sorry 😔
When can I preorder the Pixel 8 Pro? My 6 Pro has a scratched screen so I might turn it into webcam or media player.
