Honestly, this sounds like more of a crisis of faith than of science. It assumes that any intelligent life out there MUST have developed interstellar travel, MUST have sought us out, MUST have wanted to contact us. And that said intelligent life INEVITABLY developed from multicellular life. None...
Yeah, he's the most likely choice. Remember the Terminator was originally supposed to be an infiltrator, utterly normal-looking, and it was only when Cameron met with Schwarzenegger (about playing the role of Reese) that he decided the Terminator should be physically imposing. If Henriksen is...
Yeah, Powell doesn't want to be President. McCain is a much better bet for 2004: war-hero reputation, "maverick" centre-right politics, mostly pro-life position on abortion, and of course he was the runner-up in the 2000 primaries.

But anyway, realistically if Orson Welles ever was to make a Batman movie it would've been a children's film. And it almost certainly couldn't be made before the first OTL Batman serial was made in 1943.
This just made something occur to me: without the 2000s fantasy craze, would there still be a Discworld Cinematic Universe in development? On the one hand there'd be no precedent with Discworld: The Colour of Magic and Discworld: Sourcery (well, the latter may be an advantage...) but on the...
Meh. Shitty books, shitty movies. Actually, about Shia LaBeouf: I've only seen the first movie (some friends and I rented it for a bad-movies-and-pizza night) and it seemed to me that the movie Eragon is less irritating than the book version of the character.
Anyway, something tells me that...
Actually, it occurs to me now that if Connery hadn't been busy with The Hobbit then he might've been available to appear in Skyfall as Kincade the groundskeeper, instead of Albert Finney. Even if he had retired by that point, the 50th-anniversary James Bond film has got to be worth coming out of...
Probably. Before The Hobbit Part I came out he hadn't appeared in any movies for five years, and he was 82 years old by the time The Hobbit Part II came out, after all. Without the Hobbit duology he might have retired for good around 2006ish.
(OOC: Because of all the lawsuits and stuff I really...
