Spain's actions on the world stage in the late middle ages, and subsequently the 16th century/early modernity, were also affected by religious and cultural factors, in some fairly profound ways, so that tweet is pretty dumb if it's real. Then again, the new Cosmos series bungled some 16th century church history in one of their episodes, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was. More nuanced than that.

Kind of silly to get annoyed over BB-8 though. The effects in that movie were, imo, all fairly solid. No need for technobabble in everything.

It depends on what kinda of shot they are doing. It's likely they had 20 different version of BB-8 in different forms. One for green screen related poo poo, one battle damaged, etc. The gist of what I am saying is that he is very much correct that BB-8 sucks in the sand. BB-8 did suck in the sand while filming. I love NDT but yeah that was kinda of a lovely tweet. I think he was stretching at nitpicks for a space movie before the thing even came out. He really should be complaining about other things about Star Wars, like why haven't I seen it yet?

People who reaches a certain degree of success and acclaim in their chosen field have a problem realizing that that doesn't exchange to every other thing out there, which is why you get computer CEOs who think they know how the education system should be run and standup comedians with Serious Opinions on the government and an astronomer thinks he can speak as an expert on history because he read some cue cards on Cosmos.

correct. u know, ireally love evolution a lot and ur av reminded me of the amazing fact of evolution that the whale represents, its that in the distant past in most primitive times the whale was not yet a whale but a simple legume, over millions of years of evolution the legume was blown into the sea to become a sea legume and then blabhahblah ages go by and u have the modern whale or giant sea legume. u could describe this amazing story as a miracle of sorts but dont bc of all the contradictions in the bible etc
