the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same

Funny poster. Mind you, Simon Pegg's character from Spaced got sacked for telling his boss that Babylon 5 was shit - so he better be more respectful about our BDHs.

...but more serious question:

Having had my wrist slapped in the past by Australian colleagues for inadvertent hemispherisim what do we call the middle bit of the year without antagonizing the antipodeans?

Its no good referring to solstices and equinoxes because there's two of each and they have seasonally insensitive names.

Best I can come up with is aphelion.

Tell them to get over it. 90% of humanity lives in the Northern hemisphere.

C'mon, even on this board, started for fans of a TV show that demonstrated an understanding of physics, few know what it means, and almost nobody knows that you're correct.



Anyway, the title of the thread was a play based on an appearance by Arnold Schwartzenegger, promoting his upcoming movie, Last Action Hero. He said "Biggest Movie of the Summer" several times, and each time it was accompanied by more echo, along with that phrase flashing on the screen. It was a joke. One week after LAH came out, Jurassic Park opened.
