Elysium was entertaining, but the whole class critique/illegal immigration/universal healthcare allegory wasn't really fleshed out very well and it seems the director was more focused on action scenes with guys in exoskeletons fighting with katanas and exploding shurikens.

"But Discovery bills itself as the premier science education television station in the world," he said, "and they're perpetuating this utter nonsense."

Shiffman has been one of the show's most vocal critics on Twitter, where he tweets under the handle @WhySharksMatter.

A man trapped by a 12 film contract, a life in limbo. Quick cut to a man demanding to see his kids. Laughing jews. Cars racing. This summer. The guy from Rome and the short lived NBC scifi crime drama journeyman IS... Legally Bond.

I saw Elysium. It was pretty good. Made me realize that communism isn't a historical inevitability, because once robots get good enough, they won't need workers anymore. So no longer can we just wait around for the revolution.

Had a pretty amazing professor this one course who taught us about Marx and Kapital, really opened my eyes. I spent the summer delving deep into Marxist texts and became quickly convinced of Marx's thesis, that capitalism was doomed by its own contradictions and that it subsided on exploitation and inequality. But then I saw Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Rises. How, indeed, could Batman save Gotham City in a socialist society, where a man as brilliant and innovative as Wayne would have no right to private property? Just because his wealth relies on "exploitation"? As if Bane, Catwoman, the Joker, and Batman's other enemies would not exploit in their own, far more malevolent ways? As much as I respect Professor Harvey, I can't call myself a communist anymore. It seems that art is often more adept at delivering these kinds of messages than lifeless theoretical discussion, and it's no coincidence that capitalist societies creates more interesting and vibrant art as well.
