This genre is usually all about social commentaries, what happens when the world ends, when technology breaks down, when everything is possible because of science, and how all of that questions the human condition or, in some cases, defines what the human condition actually is. lolwhat. I mean. Space is pretty. I like stars. Dinosaurs rarrr. But here’s a starter kit for this awesome film genre. (
That is, these movies kick-started my own interest so my bad if The Wrath of Khan, Tron, or The Terminator aren’t in here.ETA: Uh, the ‘starter kit’ evolved a little. I just linked to as many movies as I could.) It includes some science-fiction classics (originals of recently released remakes), movies that started long-standing franchises, as well as contemporary ~masterpieces~. And Galaxy Quest. (Because it’s really fucking funny, alright.) Didn’t upload the sequels cause, uh, it was meant to be a starter kit. So. Just the starts, lawl. Message me if a link doesn’t work. I’ll re-upload the file. PS: One of the multi-part files has a .ppt format so after you download all the parts and join the files, change the extension to .avi.1927 Metropolis DL / WATCH

"The Firth Circuit has repeatedly illustrated its hostility to first amendment rights and victims seeking compensation claims. Texas too has a bad track record when it comes to high-profile rape cases. A recent case involving the gang-rape of an 11-year-old girl by at least 18 men, including several student athletes, caused national outrage after many in the community tried to blame the victim. For years Texas has forced women to pay for their own rape kits. Two months ago, the Texas House approved a bill that would require victims of rape who became pregnant to get an ultrasound and hear a description of the fetus before getting an abortion."
Marie Diamond: Supreme Court Denies Justice To Texas Cheerleader Who Refused To Cheer Her Alleged Rapist
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, one of the most conservative courts in the country, ruled last November that the victim — who is known only as H.S. — had no right to refuse to applaud her attacker because as a cheerleader in uniform, she was an agent of the school. To add insult to injury, the Fifth Circuit dismissed her case as “frivolous” and sanctioned the girl, forcing her family to pay the school district’s $45,000 legal fees.
