I would rather build a Mormon rocketship and colonize Mars. Probably have about the same chance of being successful as "seasteading" would have.

Creek tell me you don't end up watching "Waterworld" when it comes on TV. Now the "Postman" that was a terrible movie.

Has Costner ever really been in a good movie? Sure, Field of Dreams was good, but that was despite of Costner.

He was the dead guy that they held the funeral for.

It is the early 1980s, Ronald Reagan is president, neoliberalism is the norm, and the peace movement and Counterculture of the 1960s are both a distant memory for a group of baby boomer college friends from the University of Michigan. An impromptu reunion occurs, however, when the brightest one of the group, Alex (Kevin Costner, edited out of the theatrical release) commits suicide in the home of physician Sarah (Glenn Close) and business executive Harold (Kevin Kline). Alex had been living there with his young girlfriend, Chloë (Meg Tilly) while trying to figure out what to do with his life (and secretly having an affair with Sarah).

Ok, he was the dead guy.

Because he was edited out, that may be why the movie was good.

"American Flyers"? When he's headed downhill and he has his cerebral aneurysm was riveting.
