looks pretty meh bordering ugg from the trailerPhil Plait wrote:
It looks pretty interesting. Without too many spoilers — it’s in the trailer, after all — the doomsday is caused by a planet approaching the Earth, and we hear someone say it was hidden behind the Sun.
Now, I’ll say that’s not really possible. A planet falling in from deep space and approaching us close enough to harm us would be visible for decades, and since the Earth circles the Sun once per year there’s no way the Sun could hide it for very long — if the Sun were hiding it in April, for example, by November it would be high in the night sky and visible to everyone. At first I interpreted the line to mean it was orbiting the Sun on the opposite side of our orbit, but that doesn’t work either; a planet big enough to hurt us would have revealed itself through its gravitational influence on other planets long before now (Gerry and Sylvia Anderson did a movie in the 60s based on this called "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun", in fact).
But that doesn’t matter. What good science fiction does is take a concept and see how it affects things, and in this case I’ll take a rogue planet as the plot device. "Melancholia" looks like a lovely movie, and I imagine I’ll watch it when it’s finally released in November.
Incidentally, a different movie called "Another Earth" will be coming out in a couple of weeks, but it’s also about a planet that appears in the sky, and also seems to be thoughtful and interesting. The trailer is on YouTube.

No, the pictures they showed "from hubble" were of incoming objects. The context was that this was all a big surprise.

Oh. Well that's not quite so bad as thinking he implied you can normally see meteors before they enter our atmosphereKmar wrote:

I know I'm a astronerd.. but most people should know that the hubble is for peering in to deep space. I just hate it when movies throw cursory science terms out for shiz and jiz

But yeah, it's weird. Be like using a 200x telescope to look into the next room of your house.
The fact that the story line is hollow, I can forgive that. It's a typical explosive driven action flick. It's those little things that get under my skin. Some films keep advisers on set. You'd think ..

I guess ill drop this in the proper thread.

I was getting excited at some of the awesome apartments I'll be able to afford once I get a job, then I bothered to look up income tax in Holland and my dreams were expertly dashed. I thought for my sort of end of the payscale they were slightly less cruel, but I guess not.
What percentage?
