So the winners of the draw today are:

Jurrasic Park
Serpico
and
Ancient Aliens!

Vote for the next 24 hours on which you want to watch as a group :).
We'll use this thread for any movie talk as well.

Don't know how to add a poll, but I vote for Ancient Aliens :).
 
I saw this one. An undercover cop from NY investigates claims of living dinosaurs that turn out to be ancient aliens.
 
If I could watch, I would vote Ancient Aliens. I always heard of Modern Aliens but never Ancient ones before!

The sequel is where the aliens end up escaping into NY and terrorising the city, only to later befriend a boy and his flying bike, then leaving in peace.
 
Done deal everyone :). The movie for this week is Ancient Aliens, Episode 1!

You can watch it on youtube or use whatever legal means you prefer to get a hold of it!

Chat about it here, or in the actual https://www.physicsforums.com/chat/flashchat.php.

Gwaaah! :cry::mad::cry:

From around 8:30:00 to around 10:30:00 the show seems to explain its own their own abomination of a technique that the show itself seems to follow as a rule (up to where I am so far anyway). Allow me to exaggerate a little (just a little) in a hypothetical conversation to express my point.

Mr. Narrator:
How could it be that civilizations living 4000 years ago knew that two plus two is equal to five? How could a primitive civilization have known Maxwell's equations of electromagnetic field theory and used it to harness electricity, or build a modern computer running Red Hat Linux? That would be tantamount to finding a jet airplane in the tomb of King Tut! And whom was these non-natural, enormous, structures, only visible from high altitudes, detailing the complete scripts of the both series "Melrose Place" and "The OC," intended for?​
Me:
But Mr. Narrator, the claims you are making are incorrect. Nobody claimed that 2+2=5. Nor did any ancient civilization build a computer (as we know it today). Nor any of the other stuff. You're making unfounded assumptions. They are misleading.​
Mr Narrator:
I'm not making any assumptions/claims. I'm just asking questions. Did you not see the question marks? There were 3 question marks in my last set of statements; did you not count them? Okay, so now we're in agreement about the number of question marks, I must be telling the truth. So now that we agree that Aliens were an integral part of ancient society, where did they come from?*
*(Don't forget to notice the question mark in that last sentence, meaning I'm not making a claim, but rather just asking a question.)​

I'm not sure I'm going to make it through the whole show.**

**Or, could it be that I will make it through the whole show?

I ended up falling asleep about half way through. In the show's defense, I was quite tired when I started watching it (as might be evident by several grammar mistakes in my previous post).

But I suppose we have 'till next week to finish watching it, right?
 
Some experts claim that the show isn't as bad as it looks and sounds.
 
Lol, that expert is Jimmy Snyder.

But no Jurassic Park votes? Come on people, am I the only one that loves dinosaurs?

Who cares about green midgets when you have amazing gigantic beats prowling around?

But seriously, not a horrible exhibition of theories, but horribly presented.
I enjoyed the broken city with the exceptional machined-stone the best. As a casual machinist, I wish I could have been there to see them stressing out about every cut.
 
I forgot about movie night, so... Are we just watching the movie and reporting back? It would seem like I'd be spending money to watch a film "thinking" others are watching at the same time. No reflection, just lonely-self and popcorn, and my imagination?
