  1. I love #movies. I love #scifi. I love scifi movies.

    I like hard scifi, but I'm aware of the compromises that must be made when bringing technical material to a broad audience on the big screen. I can make allowances for that. So I don't have a problem suspending my disbelief when a technical or scientific clunker is required by #story mechanics.

    But suspension of disbelief only goes so far. If @pzmyers is right about "Project Hail Mary" (2026), I strongly suspect I'm not going to enjoy it. So I'll wait for it to come out for home viewing, I think. Easier to "walk out" when it's just pressing the "stop" button and you didn't fork out $40 for tickets and a bucket of #popcorn.

    His take - not really a review as such:

  2. Finished reading FLUX by Stephen Baxter of the Xeelee cycle. The main premise was very imaginative and interesting, but also unbelievable, so my suspension of disbelief muscles need a long rest. It was also too long for my taste, but I still liked it enough to finish it.

  3. Holy fucksticks: watching the 1st and only season of #TheManWhoFellToEarth and we got a CIA operative flashing a badge while working in the UK. The purpose of a CIA spy is to fly under the radar and will never have any identifying objects on his person. Further more such a badge will have zero importance on UK soil. Rookie mistakes. #USSeries #moviemistakes #SuspensionOfDisbelief #goofs

  6. CW: Spoilers for the CP2077 DLC Phantom Liberty

    The assault ordered by the NUSA president on the Night City Spaceport does not make sense.

    It's a great action sequence, but it really really really does not work if you spend more than 2 seconds thinking about it.

  11. @squeezyjohn #StuffAlcea

    It's called "#SuspensionOfDisbelief"

    But I also have a hard time #sympathizing with #characters making poor, unweighted #choices
    Or worse, no choice

    Now a character that did everything #humanly possible and still failed.
    That is very #impressive

    Bonus points if they stay #positive /or/ #stoic despite the worst outcome.

    I love #people who #don't #complain n just do :blobcatheart:
