Slashdot Mirror

The 'future robots' were a colossal fuckup on the part of the production designers, and a surprising one as well, considering who was helming the film. They didn't look anything like mecha. They looked completely organic, just like cliched "grey aliens" from countless cheesy SF movies.

Fooled me completely... I snorted in disgust (as did half the theater) and almost walked out.

That reminds me of that picture of the time traveling hipster from 1941 we saw back in April.

There seem to be a lot of these cropping up lately. The other day I came across this picture.

Something tells me this is going to be a new fad, like listening to records backwards to hear hidden messages. "Can You Find the Time Traveler in This Picture?".

Hell, maybe it'll even become a game show.

See this picture of a fellow time traveler for another example. Modern people see a guy with a printed T-Shirt, modern sunglasses, and an SLR camera. However, the printed T could just as easily be a sweater with a college logo on it, the 'modern' sunglasses were in fact available in 1940, and the SLR camera is almost definitely a Kodak model that would have been old even at the time the picture was taken.

Absolutely amazing. He survived and is apparently still alive today.

Queue the "In Soviet Russia..." jokes.

Your statement implies that standing in front of the beam would cause you to explode, which I very much doubt.
I am curious as to what actually WOULD happen.

This is the closest thing I could find:
