Anyone else like this movie?

I think it's great fun. Where else can you see Sharon Stone beat the snot out of Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Hawking: Humans must colonize other planets

POSTED: 12:50 p.m. EST, November 30, 2006
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Humans must colonize planets in other solar systems traveling there using "Star Trek"-style propulsion or face extinction, renowned British cosmologist Stephen Hawking said on Thursday.

Referring to complex theories and the speed of light, Hawking, the wheel-chair bound Cambridge University physicist, told BBC radio that theoretical advances could revolutionize the velocity of space travel and make such colonies possible.

"Sooner or later disasters such as an asteroid collision or a nuclear war could wipe us all out," said Professor Hawking, who was crippled by a muscle disease at the age of 21 and who speaks through a computerized voice synthesizer.

"But once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe," said Hawking, who was due to receive the world's oldest award for scientific achievement, the Copley medal, from Britain's Royal Society on Thursday."

Same here, read it on CNN and then clicked on this expecting the news article. Interesting to say the least.

Nowadays we're used to it but the ultraviolence in this film left me speechless for a few minutes when I saw it at the cinema. People talk about A Clockwork Orange but Total Recall was far more violent. The scene where Michael Ironside's character gets his hands sheared off was particularly upsetting.:Q
