Me too. I have had a crush on Karen Allen for 30 years. I don’t care how old she is now.

This was nothing more than a 2 hour commercial for the movie passed off as science. The “science” was so fast and loose with reality it was unreal. I can’t believe so many people believe this hooey without checking even the basic science behind what the are saying.
You may as well not see any film then. Or listen to just about any music.
