Note that the earth's core is (thought by scientists to be) solid only because the pressure exerted upon it by the immense mass of the overlying layers is so extreme as to prevent it from existing in a liquid state.

So did I. Then I moved into this house.
This is where we find out that you've been dead for years and cant possibly have posted all this time....
I can see the teen-movie adaptation allready: Fabrus will be played by Hayden Christensen, Charles will be portrayed by Daniel Craig, Shia LeBouf will play young Mars....all of which will, naturally suffer grisly deaths as the paper-thin plot unfolds over 90 minutes.
The only person worthy enough to play me is Clooney.
As for The Core, where do I begin? Landing the Space Shuttle on a freeway? French Stereotype Guy who gets crushed? Giant Bug Zapper aimed at the Earth's core?

It wasn't a freeway as I recall, it was one of those weird concrete valley things they seem to have all over L.A. where drug dealers and motorcycle-riding Terminator units hang out. What the hell are those things?

I have to watch science fiction movies I know are going to suck. Some part of me enjoys being angry at it, I think.

Now see, when I see a trailer for a movie that looks crap I say to myself "that looks crap, I won't bother watching it" and then I don't see it, life is less stressful that way. Catwoman, another good example; looked crap, didn't see it, Battlefield Earth; looked crap, didn't see it. Chronicles of Riddick...you get the idea. Not that I claim to have a spidey sense for crap movies mind you. I was tricked into sitting through Hulk (the Ang Lee one) only time I ever fell asleep in the cinema. Then there was the time I rented "Lady in the Water", but that was mostly born out of misplaced hope that is wasn't going to be crap. Oh and a female friend once insisted we go see Vin Diesel be a babysitter (I forget the title), though in my defence I agreed on the sole condition that we go see Sin City right after. It was worth taking the hit.
