Mars Attacks! our green technology

Citizens of the Earth, we are facing an ever-present danger. We face a two-fold crisis.

You know how we know the new Star Trek movie is going to suck? They just cast a kid for Cap’n Kirk.

And you know how we really know?

“… we were going to see old Spock and a much younger version of the character in the same movie, courtesy of some time travel plot device that hasn’t been fully disclosed … [emphasis ours].”
