Why are so many sci-fi films anti-human? So far we’re the only known choice, so you might as well get behind us. Also, I take anti-human as anti-American, since Americans are the dominant humans.
My favorite specie after humans would be the dog followed by the blobfish.
It would be nice if humor had some sort of peer review process so I wouldn’t have to guess at what’s funny anymore.
Should we keep looking for better politicians or just come to grips with the fact that they’re basically all sociopaths?
If we executed everyone who wants to limit world population, it would really cut down on world population.
Was I the only one hoping Avatar would be the game Ultima turned into a movie?
If we go into an ice age, I say we burn climate scientists for warmth.
BAD: Spent entire weekend at hospital because of my Dad’s illness. GOOD: Got out of seeing New Moon.
Hospitals don’t like you bringing in outside food because they make all their money from concessions. Thanks, Obamacare!
Sherlock Holmes looks like a ripoff of Dr. House.
My thoughts exactly. Damn it’s good to be back and have internet access again. I’ve missed ya’ Frank!
My favorite species after humans would be cows. They taste much better than dog or blobfish.
You’re guessing? That’s funny right there.
Best wishes to Daddy Fleming – hope he is on the mend.
[Thanks. He’s recovering well so far. -Ed.]
What DamnCat said.
Frank sorry to hear your dad was in the hospital, hope all is well.
Yeah, Frank. I hope Harvey gets well soon. No, seriously.
Is your Dad as funny as you? Bet he is. Best wishes.
the wwf is another one of the commie cover groups, like the scientologists.
Now if they would extinct a democrat for ever tiger saved, I might be persuaded to donate.
how did you get out of seeing it? Was yesterday the only day for you to go?
Sad to hear about your father’s illness.
“My favorite specie after humans would be the dog followed by the blobfish.”
Well, that’s better than Polar Bears! Sure the babies are cute, but the big ones eat baby seals and PEOPLE. How anyone can feel sorry for those big white hairy monsters is beyond me.
Best wishes for your Dad’s speedy recovery!
My favorite species after humans would be dog followed by women.
my least favorite specie is Liberals.
One thing to remember about Holmes: He was a high-functioning cokehead. No matter how much they cleaned him up at the BBC & Universal Pictures, a little scruffiness would not be out of the ordinary for him.
I hope your Dad’s doing better. He must really love you to go into the hospital to keep you from having to see new moon… 😉 He’s in our prayers, you’re a good son for being there!
That bug’s kinda cute &, like me, eats dead animals…
I like Downey Jr. as an actor. I’m getting sick of films where the military are the bad guys…
“If we go into an ice age, I saw we burn climate scientists for warmth.”
I would suggest burning hippies instead, however, you don’t want everyone getting high from the fumes.
Frank’s Eureka! Moment: “If we executed everyone who wants to limit world population, it would really cut down on world population.”
Of course, no one is in favor of limiting world copulation. Except for maybe the Shakers, and they’re almost extinct.
World Wildlife Fund wanted to ‘Save the Shakers!’, but they found out they didn’t qualify as Wildlife.
World Celibate Life is seeking funding for the Shakers though. I think they got Sally Struthers as their spokesperson.
Stay close to your Dad. Foster all the things that bring you together and keep you close. Not to be a downer but my Dad passed away last January 18, 5 weeks after diagnosis with inoperable brain tumors. It affected his speech and he hadn’t spoken an intelligible word for two days to my mother or sister. I flew to AL from NH days after I had neck surgery for a crush disc. It’s very special that he knew I was there. His last words to me were, “You’re crazy.” I hope he meant for flying down to see him.
God Bless your father with a solid recovery and good health.
Modern skiffy films are anti-human because they all come out of Hollyweird. Modern written SF often seems anti-human for two main reasons:
because the majority of SF writers are liberals, and also because “human vs. alien” is an easy way to get dramatic conflict.
sorry, last comment posted before I was done. To resume:
Modern written SF often seems anti-human for two reasons:
1) the majority of SF writers are liberals; and
2) “human vs alien” is an easy source of conflict, and even many conservative SF writers get twitchy about writing a story in which the aliens are the bad guys. Unless it’s pure military-SF and the Other Side is some type of GBABA.
“It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged.”

I’m not sure if you were being funny or you didn’t know that Dr. House was modeled on Sherlock Holmes.
If Sherlock Holmes is so smart, how come he doesn’t have his own TV show?
Of course, in Holmes defense, he was played by Basil Rathbone, so he has that going for him.
