"The Matrix" on the other hand was a great standalone film. I'm glad they didn't ruin the mystique with any unnecessary sequels.
Damn I wish I had mod points right now...
But I can't decide whether the mod would be +1 Funny or +1 Insightful
I disagree...
The Bombadil/Barrow-wight sub-plot was easily left out. It made for a good read but it's exclusion didn't detract from the overall story.
The Scouring of the Shire however is a major part of the story and ends the War of the Ring back in the Shire amongst Hobbits. Remember the LotR is a story about Hobbits. It says so in the prologue. And JRRT actually stated the TSofS was one of the earliest parts of the book to be written.
To my mind the movies focused too much on Aragorn/Arwin which was only a sub-story in the books.
I did enjoy the movies - however I feel PJ, et al missed the overall point.
As the antimatter is repulsed by the normal matter, wouldn't this require the introduction of another force (the "dark force"?) – that should be even stronger than the strong force – to explain how come we are not seeing flows of antimatter originating from the core of the galaxies?
Do not underestimate the dark side of the Force.

For the record it is not particularly easy to use a printer to duplicate, say, 250,000 diplomatic cables and walk out with them under your arms.
True, however if said documents were already in deadtree format then all one needs is a camera.
And a microSD card is a lot less painfull than a roll of film... or so I would imagine
By that logic, Creationism = Big Bang Theory.
I would suggest splitting Creationism into two parts
1) Initial creation
2) Flora, Fauna, etc created as they are today
The first part can fit nicely into the theory of Evolution - belief dependent of course
One of the early pioneers of the Big Bang theory was also a Catholic Priest. Georges_Lemaitre
And before someone else brings it up there is also 'Intelligent Design'. However I can't speak for that as I'm not overly familiar with the tenants of its proponents and am not in the mood for a flamewar
Didn't they tally up the numbers in 1650. So it's at LEAST 6360 years old now.
Given all the monkeying around with the calendar over the years, taking into account leap second adjustments every-so-often and the uncertainty of when the year 0 was based on Jebus' actual DOB, etc
It's now roughly 6314.15926535897932384626433832795 years old
Is it perchance piloted by Amazonian princesses? If so I'm in
Science fiction ? Star Wars is more like future fantasy

Believe me, they were.
Doctor? Is that you?
Lets hope the "Central Server" doesn't do something important in its spare time like run traffic signals or something. It could be quite a disaster is somebody feeds in all this information about the history of the East India Company.
