Wife: Josh, you LIKE science fiction.
Me: but science fiction is BASED ON science!

Didn't After Dark already do this with toasters?
What I actually find laughable is all the scientists that keep stepping up to debunk all these disaster movies. I know they're a boatload of crap! Who cares?!? It doesn't make them any less fun to watch!
