My niece and nephew-in-law gave me a copy of that movie. I made the mistake of critiquing it in their presence and they haven't given me a movie since.

Are you sure that was a bad thing?
Actually, no. They gave me that one because they knew I liked sci-fi but apparently had no idea what to get. This year they gave me iTunes.

There was so much wrong with that film that it was hard to maintain that suspension of disbelief - and I'm not even formally trained in the subject.
you're no fun
I've got this great idea! Since we're holed up here in the New York Public Library, let's burn the tables, chairs, desks and shelves -- then we'll burn the stick fiddling books.
Truth be told, the furniture burns better than books do. The pages are so tightly packed that they don't burn well. You have to tear them apart to get them to fully combust. 100 year old wood is much easier to burn and releases more heat.
You sound like a guy who's burned a lot of books.

if it was me, I’d totally burn EVERYTHING in the place before I’d consider burning a single book.
Except Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray. Those stick fiddlers I’d merrily burn

That's why the one guy say "Hey guys! There's a whole section on tax law that we can burn!" when the one guy was complaining that they were burning classic books.

No, just someone who burns his junk here on the farm, and I know that when you burn a stack of paper, you have to keep stirring it or it just singes the edges and won't burn the entire stack. The oxygen simply can't get to the center of the stack to burn it. Wood has passages and pores through it that the air can get through, paper doesn't.

Polar vortex? That sounds waaay cooler than Polar easterlies.
A possible threat to national security so serious, it comes with a gyroscope that locks it out, requiring a service call from the manufacturer before it will work again.
oh for god's sake
Hey, that thing can be dangerous in the Wrong Hands ...

i particularly like the shadows around the (white) lakes, as if they're frozen methane craters on iapetus or something

I recently used MapQuest for the first time in years. They now have an option to start just outside your neighborhood.
Too bad MQ is so stupid about routes.

Once built I don't think I could use the wood and ruin the masterpiece.
Also we have similar houses on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific around SoCal, though none extend quite that far out.

there was a house like that in a Mel Gibson movie.
He pulled it off the side of the hill with his pickup.
