The gods fuck around and threaten all mortals, but it’s up to one mortal to help a downtrodden god to be a not-downtrodden god and save the day.

The day is saved. Entertainment was had. Possibly worth a watch, but I think it’s fluff even for for movies like this one.

A physicist works in secret to build a wormhole generator, but its failure leads to surprising consequences.

An personal information collection website which rewards with a trickle of money.

I found surveys which were broken, offers which were suspect, items which wanted my credit card information or to install random software. Overall, the hype that others give this website makes me think less of humanity.

After this glance, I expect I’ll be getting a lot of junk mail. Sigh.

A pair of semi-friends get entangled in parallel universes.

Mild British humour. Does not have anywhere near the intellectual weight of actual science fiction. Bubblegum British.

Though I watched the entire thing through, I didn’t really like it. Not recommended for anyone who isn’t a serious fan of British humour enough to be okay with a really weak version of it.
