Some of the DVD/Blu-ray versions of “GalaxyQuest” have the entire movie dubbed into the weird screeching alien language as a quirky bonus feature.

Funny that the article doesn’t talk about Pacific Rim, which was definitely a departure from his normal dark, gothic, practical effects-driven horror/drama.

How Simon broke River out is pretty significantly different, that’s the biggest one. A few other small things.

And I refuse to consider “Serenity” canon for other obvious reasons.

Between the Joss factor and the fact that the heroes are obviously based on “lost cause” confederates, who today are all racists hicks, it’s hard to watch now. But it’s soooo well made.

How can it be canon to both the show and the movie? The movie wasn’t in the same canon as the show.

All gripping dramas based on historical events, all excellent:

42 (2013)

1917 (2019)

Argo

All The President’s Men

Apollo 13

Bridge of Spies

Dunkirk

The Imitation Game

Saving Private Ryan

Schindler’s List

Honorable mention sleeper movies you might not have heard of that are gripping dramas but not historically based:

The Foreigner (2017)

JCVD (2008)

Notorious (1946)

The Third Man (1949)

You have to see the huge logical leap you’re making in your main point, right?

Just because some of Jesus’ disciples believed they saw a resurrected Jesus isn’t scientific proof that he was resurrected. It just means they believed he did.

You’re searching for facts in a realm of faith. Either you believe or you don’t. If you only believe in something that is proven, then you don’t have faith, just conviction.

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Heb 11:1

Lots of great answers already, but one interesting thing that seems to be like it would keep more mammals from evolving to fly:

extra weight of the young during gestation.

Egg-laying birds get to breed but don’t carry around that extra weight for nearly as long or as heavy. That’s got to be a huge evolutionary advantage, right?

Eh, you’re probably right, but I also know a lot of people from various Houston burbs and they all lean right/MAGA, so I’ve got some observational bias going on too

Houston is as well considering it’s massive but full of mostly sprawled suburbs and tons of oil people or friends/relatives of oil people.

It is in the context of a guy singing. The next line is something like “if it was a dog that had howled thus, he’d have shot him”

“Is it not strange that sheep’s guts should hail souls from mens’ bodies?” – Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

(Guitar/lute strings used to be made from sheep gut, for anyone confused)

The guys who came along years later and were (more) openly about drugs and sex (instead of semi-covertly about it)

The Rolling Stones were always the spoiled rich kids pretending to be tough. The Beatles were poor kids pretending to be posh. There are whole books written about that dynamic.

I thought free software was when you were the product and non-free software actually supported developers.

Or do you mean non-OSS?

The color or the fruit?

I don’t think they’re trying to do anything illegal. They just want to do it faster and in bulk. Still from the original source that is providing it for free. Not redistributing. Looks like someone linked a tool that might do that.

ISO dates, 100%.

Time zones…I could see arguing to rework them, but abolish them? How would that even work?

Looking at you, Google Play Library.

That’s an argument against an executive branch of government, not an argument against a constitutional monarchy.

You could have (and many countries do) a parliamentary system like you describe without having a monarch figurehead.

The question I think OP is asking is: why have the monarch figurehead.
