Often, I resort to contemplative measures when watching a film with someone else. "Did you know the guy who plays so and so is...Blah blah McBlahdy-pants?" Grrr. That's what ruins it for me with voice-overs. Once I figure out who it is it's all over. That actor or actress simply will not leave my head. When I figured out that Joaquin Phoenix was "brother bear" I left the room. haha. I was meant to be an actress...what the hell happened? A life of science and discover isn't so bad I guess. When I watch movies I sometimes play that roll in my head and arrogantly think to myself, "I could do better". Probably not, but confidence is key? I have not seen the movies you have mentioned, but I think I might. This website is so great. Yesterday I was talkinga bout quantum emchanics and today I'm replaying to a movie post. Two of the most wonderful facets in life, second to my family. My favorite movies are old science fiction movies like "This Island Earth" and "War of the Worlds". What about you? At Best Buy you can get some really great sci-fi movie collections. The movies are so old that spaceships are made of cardboard and tied to string, but they are the best.
I'm om my first cup of coffee so forgive the short message.
The universe has its own plan. I agree (if I understand you completely, which I hope to do). I just think our choice of words differ. Your perspective is great. Thank you. YAWN> I need more coffee.
I'm unclear as to what you are suggesting vertinox. Could you be referring to 'Newton's Law of Motion'?. In other words, if at some instant you know the positions and velocities of every particle in the universe, you can use Newton's Law (of motion) to determine-at least in theory-their postions and velocities of any and all previous or future occurrences. This perspective suggests that occurrences from the formation of the Sun to the motion of our eyes across this word, strictly follow from the exact positions and velocities of the particulate ingredients of the universe a moment after the big bang. Or, maybe quantum determinalism is your point? Though the hypothetical cat would have to employ its understanding of probability...I suppose that is not your point. Free will becomes the ultimate question. He chose not to check his batteries...OR he chose to ignore the cat for hours before he realized it was time to 'perish', as someone stated. I do hope no one will flip a coin to live or die. My final question is this...if the cat was so smart...why did he not change the smoke detector batteries?
Lord Ender,
Confusing that this cat-who yields only a presupposed existence (within any universe) be the focus of your responder's worthless twattle. Though your advice to him makes me giggle, perhaps a puppy be more advisable? Cat allergies have been said to cause 'interdimensional synapse dislocation' and I think we know this is outside his realm of affordability. Given, the loss would not be grossly significant; however, I am considered a compassionate girl 5 1/2 days a week and I would not like to see this happen, yet.
My message to the ward of such unfortunate peculiarity: Excuse me, genius of 47 chromosomes? How would you know this if he 'perished' like a head of lettuce in the apartment fire?
Roses are red, violets are blue, you're an idiot.
Now, it is time to put to rest this post, which has beset my cognitive sensibilities and celebrate my lack of ignorance with a cupcake.

It all comes down to the drink. Interesting.
