				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>As your thirtieth birthday approaches, you find yourself feeling grateful that you don&#8217;t live in the society depicted in the 1976 science fiction film <em>Logan&#8217;s Run</em>, in which all people living in a hermetically-sealed dome structure in the future, must all undergo &#8220;renewal&#8221; through a process called Carousel when reaching thirty years old.  A person&#8217;s age is visible via a crystal in the palm of the hand, which blinks red at the age of renewal.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Those who try to avoid renewal are called &#8220;Runners,&#8221; who are hunted down by a special police force, each member of which is called a &#8220;Sandman.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Behold the sobering spectacle of Carousel&#8230;</strong><br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>In an alternate universe, the <em></em>actor <strong>Peter Dinklage</strong> (best known as &#8220;The Half Man,&#8221; Tyrion Lannister on HBO&#8217;s <em>Game of Thrones) </em>was born decades earlier, allowing him to beat out Harrison Ford for the role of Han Solo in <em>Star Wars: Episode IV</em>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Not only does <strong>Dinklage successfully pull off the role due to genuine &#8220;leading man&#8221; qualities, but his physical stature lends itself to combat-related scenes in which he rides Chewbacca piggyback style, while shooting his blaster.  This also occurs in <em>Empire Strikes Back</em> in the scenes with a dissembled C-3PO strapped to the Wookiees&#8217;s back in Cloud City, on the planet Bespin.</strong></strong><em><strong></strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Harrison Ford still became a household name in the <em>Indiana Jones</em> films, though the fourth film in that franchise was never made.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A group of people you don&#8217;t know are conversing nearby, as you exit a building.  You clearly overhear the phrase &#8220;lamb&#8217;s blood.&#8221;  Though you are a bit alarmed at this phrase, and have no idea of the actual context of the conversation, part of you would find it amusing to approach them and interject the following:<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Excuse me, but you aren&#8217;t planning on killing a <em>djinn</em> by chance, are you?  I only ask because in order to destroy that particular supernatural creature, the lamb&#8217;s blood needs to already be on the dagger or it won&#8217;t work.  Also, it&#8217;s a good idea to have backup on hand as the touch of a <em>djinn</em> can render you incapacitated via psychic attack as it feeds off of your life-force.&#8221;</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>You have concluded that the following is the best way to describe the brilliant, twisted, comedic weirdness that is Michael Bay&#8217;s new film, </strong><em><strong>Pain &amp; Gain</strong></em><strong>:</strong></p>
<p><strong>The film has the same sensibilities as the movie </strong><em><strong>Step Brothers</strong></em><strong>, if (a) the brothers had decided to become criminal &#8220;masterminds&#8221; rather that start a marketing company, and (b) it was based on a true story.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The characters&#8217; behavior in both films are equally illogical and wickedly funny, except that if one of the characters from </strong><em><strong>Pain &amp; Gain</strong></em><strong> told you, &#8220;Don&#8217;t touch my drumset,&#8221; it would be wise not to test them, lest you be wearing said drumset as a hat due to possible &#8220;&#8216;roid&#8217; rage&#8221;.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The thought occurs to you that if your younger self from twenty years ago were suddenly transported in time to the present, the world would seem very both fascinating and a bit scary, just based on the fact that you have a digital video recorder that allows you to record high definition versions of television programs without a VCR, which you can use to fast forward commercials.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Furthermore, two of the television shows on your DVR are centered around terrifying film villains Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter, the latter being broadcast on a major television network, which bewilders your younger self even as it confounds your present self, considering that people once found shows like <em>Married With Children</em> and <em>The Simpsons</em> edgy and controversial.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>You recently had a dream that you accidentally traveled through an Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky bridge (also known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge or &#8220;wormhole&#8221;) connecting two points in space-time.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Upon arriving at the wormhole&#8217;s other end, you find yourself held captive by a group of aliens from the <em>Predator</em> film franchise, who force you to fight in an intergalactic gladiatorial arena alongside fellow captives Lieutenant Commander Data from <em>Star Trek: The Next Generation</em>, and Chicago-area wizard and private detective Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden from <em>The Dresden Files</em> novels.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Throughout the remainder of the dream, you embark on a journey of survival with these characters in which you repeatedly attempt to get a letter of recommendation from Data endorsing your application to Starfleet Academy, as well as secure a wizard&#8217;s apprenticeship with Dresden.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Having read the first book and seen the first movie in the <em>Twilight Saga</em>, and loathed both with a passion, you have avoided the work of Stephenie Meyer and the subsequent film adaptations that have occurred.  As such, when you first saw the trailer (provided below) for the film adaptation of Meyer&#8217;s supposed &#8220;science fiction&#8221; novel, <em>The Host</em>, you were shocked. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Why the shock? While you haven&#8217;t read the book, you have seen the film <em>Bowfinger</em>, a comedy in which a terrible director secretly films a famous actor without his knowledge in order to make a science fiction film called <em>Chubby Rain</em>, about aliens invading Earth via raindrops.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Thus, you exclaimed, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe it&#8230; <em>The Host</em> is basically <em>Chubby Rain</em> being filmed for real!&#8221;<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Behold, and judge for yourself.</strong></p>
