Oh god no.
Not Blade Runner. Please. I'm begging you.


I have a strong, strong feeling this is coming. Is it possible to see Harrison Ford spin in his grave while he's alive still?

Might as well throw a damn predator in it for Colin Farrell, who will undoubtedly play the main role, to fight off in it as well to spice up the action and REALLY bring that 3D out on the screen...

Someone, please shoot the alien jelly-plasmoid brain-suckers that have taken over all of the executive and script writer minds in Hollywood before it reboots EVERY show ever made. Next E.T. and Star Wars will get a reboot at this pace.

This woman is truly clueless. I'm starting to understand how Sarah Palin got elected now.


This. 100 times. I'm pretty sure she only does what the plasmoids tell her.

The plasmoids (what the parasites are sometimes called) live in rodent GI tracts, but they can only reproduce in a cat's GI tract. The plasmoids alter the brain chemistry of rodents to change their physical response to the smell of cat urine - normally, a rodent will high-tail it in panic away from cat pee, but this response is altered in rodents infected with plasmoids. It basically de-compiles hard-coded instinctual brain wiring and re-writes a new behavior for a specific stimulus.

I always thought that this would be a good explanation for so-called "crazy cat-ladies" - the stereotypical old lady with a house full of more cats than any sane person would ever take in.

yes we really did the stable plasmoid... more/different interesting than the toothpick alone... it's intense for sure

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

plasmoid experiment referenced by deathcow. (I think. Though where does the 1 G come in?)

The crackling that furby makes is interesting. A friend and I performed the "1 G stable plasmoid" experiment in his microwave and when the effect was in progress it would also make that incredible noise.
