How could we have overlooked "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers?" ok so it's not a straight out cold war movie but the paranoia regarding communism is clear as day.....

As you can clearly see the invasion has begun. As we speak my wife is packing our bags and children into the car - we're making a break to Menwith Hill listening post. Surely the USAF will protect us....

Couple of cold war movies I liked: The Lives Of Others, Ice Station Zebra - I can't remember off the top of my head the full title but it had Kevin Cosner... 13 Days? Dr Stangelove that must be on the list surely?

... welcome to the most heavily spied upon country in the world.... CCTV in the sky: police plan to use military-style spy drones | World news | The Guardian

Is it any wonder we feel so small as a race.... man there's a lot of space out there or as Douglas Adams put it " you think walking to the shop is a long way....."

That's pretty sobering stuff. I also notice that Israel isn't on there.....

I can see this gaining cult staus - its so bad its good - sort of thing. At least they trying a new sci/fi idea instead of flogging a dead horse (Yes George Lucas I mean you, Star wars 3D, get a grip man!!!)

They absolutely nailed those early 80's Open University programmes!!! I used to watch them if I couldn't sleep ...

Gödel's incompleteness theorems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I got lost after the first paragraph!!

It's because 1+1=2 no matter where you are. I understand what you mean, but maths the language of the universe... it seems too simple... too obvious....

I've just finished reading an article about SETI when I noticed that one of the talking heads said: "The only thing that we've got in common [with aliens] has got to be at a mathematics and physics level" The question is why? Why not something audio or visual... why maths?

What is it with Washington's Hawks? Have they learned nothing from the past 10 years? As my dad would say "Jesus jumped up Christ in a chariot driven side car!!!" Russian couldn't conquer Afghanistan, and neither has the US and now they are have gotten it into their f**kwitted minds that...

Ahhh.... VHS. Those were the days.... no internet, no mobile phones, on instant downloads.... bliss.......... like the visual equivalent of vinyl records. I'm off to dig out my old LP's and hook the turntable up again.

I notice you say there could be an option for video?Why not try the idea of a p.p.v. show say every quarter? How much would it cost to produce a 3 hour show and stream it? I guess I'd watch that. That way you could have several guests on at once in a kind of round table forum? They needn't all...

Greg Bishop : Project Beta, Richard Dolan: UFO's & National Security State I really enjoyed both these books - Project Beta shows the abuse of those involved in UFO's can inflict/ are subjected to, UFO & National Security State is a bit more of an indepth reference book is the best way to...

Oh yes... George Lucas to formally apologise for The Phantom Menace/ Clone Wars/ Revenge Of The Sith, Werner Herzog to make a film that I can understand, the jitterbug to make a come back

It was about 1978/79, so I'd would have been 7/8 : my mum had taken me to see Close Encounters and since then I've had a keen interest - to this day the final scene where they all come out of the ship (the e.t's that is) still freaks me out. I fell out of interest in the subject till I got to...

I recently went to see my son in his school christmas play. I spent the morning at work mentally preparing myself for another poor adaptation of the christmas story regarding Jesus & Mary etc etc.... What I did not expect was a story where aliens crash land on a school and for the teacher to...
