I keep reading that as: reports to Google
Probably because of the news reported sites go down in rankings from now on. ('xcept YouTube of course)

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
"A Million Open Doors" by John Barnes?
Edit: That's more than 9000, but I have no clue what both posters above are talking about.
Edit: OK, I googled more than 9000, it seems to be a Dragonball reference.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
What SF movie has never been made, but had more impact on "Real Life" than many movies which have been made?

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
The movie, of which the script was based on a famous novel by a famous writer, started out very ambitiously: the concept art and scenes were designed by a famous comic book artist and there were even plans of a theme park. However, due to legal troubles, the project did not come to fruition.marcusrg wrote:I don't have any idea. A clue?
That would have been the end of it, if a "third party" had not taken over the project with a completely different purpose in mind...

A movie about the movie which has never been made and the successful secret service exfiltration operation for which it was a cover is scheduled to be released this fall.
