The Title “Lost in Space” Was Taken

Wow, this is trailer for Gravity is pretty intense:

I was thinking, though, if this were a disaster involving a plane, I’d just call the movie a thriller. But since it involves space, I want to call it a science fiction film. Except, I see a space shuttle in the trailer, which would mean this would have to take place in the past and would be historical fiction.

And that’s the sad state of things right now. Space travel used to be the big thing of the future, but currently it’s a thing of the past.

  1. in 1969 we, the USA, walked on the moon. now we hitch rides into orbit with the russians, the chinese have a space station and NASA is an outreach to muslims agency.

    it is to weep

    but we do have burt rutan and his ilk, doing what our government refuses to do.

  2. I was all excited until I saw who was in it…

    I mean, Clooney? People still hire that doofus?

    Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t stand the sight of the man on the screen, knowing his politics when the camera’s off.

  3. It’s actually probably a pretty good thing NASA is shut down. Under Obama’s leadership, we’d probably be seeing this as a documentary.

    Also, Clooney and Bullock being taken off the planet Earth and subsequently lost forever? Is Hollywood bringing my fantasies to the big screen?

  4. Clooney boarded the wrong ship…he was supposed to team up with Valentina Tereshkova.

    While watching a rocket launch with my daughters recently, I was inspired to tell them about how we were capable of sending people to space when I was a child.
