Too bad for you, the title refers to Damon's character who will prove he is better than Neil Armstrong by inventing the pirate-ninja measurement unit while on Mars.

Here's a movie that probably has aliens, though.

the grim reboot of Mork and Mindy

To turn back to posters, I can't remember how it showed up in my amazon searches but Cherry 2000 has an absolutely killer poster.

The movie seems pretty lovely, though in a way I enjoy, but that poster can't get up on my wall soon enough.

I really, really like Cherry 2000 and I'm not sure I can accurately describe why. It's a dreamy, weird movie. And the characters are hilarious (especially one of the villains).

I know it's a dumb thing to continue on with, but it still is really uprising people would pronounce it like bi-opic rather than bio-pic. I always assumed the word came from smashing 'biography' and 'picture' together so that is how you would say it.

Generally crappy movie but good for young people with an eighties fascination. They seem to think that everything from that decade looked like an episode of McGyver.

EDIT: Why is Galaxy of Terror on Blu Ray? :psyduck:

quote:

In the year 2017, the United States has suffered a series of civil insurrections and economic downturns, fragmenting into post-apocalyptic wastelands and limited civilized areas. One of the effects of the economic crisis is a decline in manufacturing, and heavy emphasis on recycling aging 20th Century mechanical equipment. At the same time, robotic technology has made tremendous developments, and female androids (or "gynoids") are used as substitutes for wives. Society has become increasingly bureaucratic and hypersexualized, with the declining human sexual encounters requiring contracts drawn up by lawyers prior to sexual activity.

"gynoids"

After railing against people using "chomping at the bit" rather than the correct term "champing at the bit" people were wrong long enough that it went into the dictionary and ruined my argument.

I'm going to do the same to bi-o-pic just to spite this thread. Coming to an online dictionary near you.

They both mean the exact same thing unless you're going out of your way to intentionally use an archaic and lesser-known definition of the word. You've alwaya been wrong and even if you weren't you would still be insufferable.

I feel like we should be nice to Kiimo, as they're the one with all the cool industry insider information super relevant to this thread (even if they don't know how to pronounce words).

LOL ya try to be funny...

Chomping at the bit does not mean the exact same thing if you hang around horse people, the bit is behind their teeth. There are no teeth there, therefore chomping on it is impossible. Champing is the only correct version according to AP, the holy bible of grammar. So I may be insufferable but at least I'm not wrong.

In celebration of this awkward moment I bring you an awkward poster for a decent movie.

It's like something from The Thing, a horrible amalgamation.

I am assuming that this means the movie is filled with Jim Rose Circus performers and The Enigma will eat the monster.

Or both Charles Nelson Reilly and his alter-ego, Jose Chung, come back from the grave.

"gynoids"

"Gynoid" is technically what female-looking humanoid robots are called, since "android" is derived from the Greek root "andr-" meaning "male".

The American version is less terrible towards the female character.

It also doesn't have a sequel in which a neo-Nazi high fives several ethnic minorities as they mutually stick it to the Man.

I think that's supposed to be a flourish of the "R". Or a 6. Who knows with these posters.

I see how the 6 connects to R now, you're probably right. A Godzilla-Alien is a great idea though, Ghana's onto something.
