I liked the original plan, 6000 miles of wire powered by 100 subterranean power plants all for the purpose of telling subs when to nuke everyone else.

were people talking about the venus equilateral stories earlier itt because i just read the collection and they're p. hilarious a series written by an electronic engineer in the 1940s about a space station crew who use 1940s electronic engineering to solve life and death problems and turn the solar system into a post-scarcity utopia hollering down to the machine shop because they need a cam made up to move the antenna along just the right path to track a ship & then inventing matter duplicators and reactionless drives based on thermionic emission at one point a guy called his hands his lunch hooks also asimov-level treatment of women  idk why I get the urge to read stuff like this, maybe i'm secretly a cigars-and-brandy old fashioned college boy who yearns for the day where everyone except affluent white dudes knew their place

theflyingexecutive posted:star trek which was originally a tv show should be doing the whole big budget movie + spinoff books comics and a tv show but i have no idea why they arent, tho avengers did do much better financially splitting franchise ownership between two different loving corporations has really not helped that at all. i don't even understand why someone at viacom decided to split the TV rights to CBS and the movie rights to Paramount. my understanding is that the lack of spinoff books and comics and other "hey lets actually (re)build a fuckin' brand here" activities has been undermined by bad (or no) cooperation between Paramount and Bad Robot (or whatever the gently caress abrams' outfit is called)

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:meanwhile some cined poster uses that line as the lynchpin of a gigantic essay which asserts that pacific rim is really intended as a deconstruction of [something] (because every movie has to deconstruct something) is it OK if my new science fiction cinematic epic constructs instead of deconstructs? if current trends continue eventually we won't have anything left to deconstruct, so it's important to construct new concepts so they can later be deconstructed by shameful modern lit majors. please apply postmodern literary techniques responsibly.
