Spock's admonition that weight is meaningless in space is fundamentally misplaced. Not only would ejecting the redshirts help by reducing the mass of the ship, and therefore increasing the acceleration of the ship due to the force of the engines, it would also (in a very small sense) help simply by Newton's third law. The mere use of the word "weight" is really neither here nor there. Spock would have, of course, known this. posted by Flunkie at 12:41 PM on February 5, 2011 [7 favorites]
Not to worry. This thread is going approximately 77 million times better than the previous thread. Blame that on post holiday blues or something. posted by Burhanistan at 1:39 PM on February 5, 2011 [1 favorite]
I loved how the T-1000 (crashing through the drive-in movie screen) was driving the truck full of manure that Biff would (presumably) step in. posted by Alt F4 at 1:44 PM on February 5, 2011

I saw the Starz thing, and just wondering, are these the same folks who did the movies in 30 seconds, with bunnies? posted by Ghidorah at 4:47 PM on February 5, 2011 [1 favorite]

The sponsor messages play waaaay too often and long.
The videos are excellent, though. posted by ChrisR at 8:32 AM on February 6, 2011

I don't have to pretend, I never actually saw that thread. Generally speaking after 4-5 years we're a lot less speedy on the deleting-doubles button. posted by jessamyn at 9:02 AM on February 6, 2011

I don't think the Aliens alternate ending is right with regard to Ripley's arm getting ripped apart. Theoretically it should just be the force of the air evacuating the ship. You'd lose air fairly rapidly, but it wouldn't be enough force to separate a human elbow. posted by Civil_Disobedient at 3:43 PM on February 7, 2011
