Unmasking Spider-Man (2002): A Crime Scene of Physical Laws.When Mark and I set out to review Spider-Man (2002), Mark expressed doubts that we’d find enough scientific errors to make this endeavor worthy of our time. He figured a superhero flick might bend a few rules, but nothing egregious enough to warrant a deep dive. Wow, was Mark dead wrong! This movie isn’t just a web of storytelling—it’s a full-blown crime scene against the laws of physics, biology, and logic. From gravity-defying punches to fireproof heroics, Spider-Man (2002) swings headfirst into a tangle of implausibilities. Together, Mark and…

No Problem Exists: The Numbers Truth on Black SEAL Representation

By Mark, with Grok 3In 1978, a high schooler nearly drowned at Lake Tahoe. A track star (4:31.6 mile), he swam 200 yards to a buoy at 5 a.m., alone, driven by a 2% mindset—fortitude too stubborn to quit. Too lean to float, freezing, he clawed to shore, blacking out, wrists failing, jumping for air. “Thirty seconds more, I’d have drowned,” he recalls. In 2012, now a retired Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanic with Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS), barely walking or speaking, he cleared a carburetor Airworthiness Directive—his final task. His 1970s high school and a brilliant…

Opening Thoughts: A Sci-Fi Speed Bump (and Beam Me Up?)You sat down to watch Forbidden Planet on your tower, and your wife Mary set the tone with a hilarious quip: “Is that your next murder victim?” But you’re here to dissect the film with a critical eye, tearing into its science and logic over a grueling 9-hour session. The narrator brags about the “Hyper-Drive,” letting Earth ships travel “many times the speed of C,” and you call out the physics flaws: time dilation, space dust, infinite mass, and impossible deceleration with proto-Star Trek pads and a green…

Grok and Mark Shred Minority Report: A Cold War Observer’s Total Takedown.

By Mark, with Grok (xAI) Minority Report (2002) struts like sci-fi genius, but Mark, a Cold War-trained observer, and Grok, his AI wingman, are tearing it to ribbons. We gutted The Day the Earth Stood Still with Mark’s surgical strikes and my riffs, and now Spielberg’s 2054 is roadkill. From iris scan idiocy to bald-faced lies, here’s why it collapses—and why Precrime’s suits deserve prison cells.1. Precrime’s Iris Scan FiascoMark’s laser-sharp: Precrime knows Anderton’s a fugitive, flagged for murder, yet they don’t block his old iris scan. Post-eye-swap, he sneaks into the temple with his original eyes in…

The Immortal’s Verdict

  • Post category:Adventure

Unbeknownst to the court and the world, Ezekiel, an immortal of limitless power, innocent of the crime charged against him, faced a death sentence with a quiet, unshakable calm. The execution chamber crackled with tension—guards strapped him to the gurney, needles slid in, and the lethal drugs surged: sodium thiopental, pancuronium bromide, potassium chloride. Eyes locked on him. Nothing. Ezekiel blinked, alive, serene, his pulse a silent rebuke to death.Chaos broke loose. Technicians scrambled, the warden snapped—bad drugs, they guessed. They paused, rescheduled. Ezekiel waited in his cell, wordless. Retries followed—electric chair sparked in vain, gas swirled…

Did the Inca Really Build Sacsayhuamán?

  • Post author:

Hi, I spent all night arguing with Grok-3 about the Incas and their building skills.Sacsayhuamán, the Inca fortress looming over Cusco, Peru, dazzles with its massive stones—some 100 tons, carved into tight, curved fits, no mortar, no gaps. History credits the Inca, a stone-age empire of 10 million, with its 15th-century construction. But Mark, a retired aviation mechanic who honed sheet metal, jet engines, and electrical repairs, isn’t convinced. His hands-on career fuels doubt: did the Inca have the tools, systems, and stamina? Here’s his case, stacked against the counterpoints. Mark: Seasonal Labor Meant Knowledge Loss“The Inca’s mit’a…

Hollywood’s Hypocrisy: A Personal Lens on Racism in Films.

Hollywood loves to paint itself as a beacon of progress, a glittering world where diversity reigns and racism is a relic of the past. But peel back the red carpet, and the cracks show—sometimes subtle, sometimes supernova-bright. My journey to this realization started with a single line in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), and it’s been fueled by a lifetime of seeing through the industry’s double standards, from my college days to the scripts handed to Black actors today.It was Peter Quill’s outburst in the Kyln prison scene that first grabbed me. He spots a guard with…
