It gets an 8.7 out of 10 on IMDB, which is a very high rating for IMDB. It is a fantastic movie. It won best screenplay and best supporting actor Oscars, and it really deserved the screenplay award.

Initially I adopted RS because I came here specifically to take on the global warming denialists and I thought it was relevant that I am a scientist. But I found that I enjoy bashing trolls on a wide variety of subjects, and now most of my posts have nothing specifically to do with science, so I have chosen to adopt a more generic identity. Whaaa?
