Why did they call this thing Calvin? Calvin is what that douchey

They called it calvin because some kid got to name it on behalf of the kid's elementary school which was named after calvin coolidge, did you bother to watch the film because that was a part of the film

I mean in terms of why did the makers of the film decide that it would end up being called Calvin

I understand the in universe reason, retarded as it is, but cinematographically, despite it's admittedly excellent visual design, having it be called Calvin just really pulls me out of that sense of cosmic space horror they were clearly hoping for.

The idea of america unilaterally deciding to let a random schoolchild from one of their schools decide to name the first confirmed speciment of extraterrestrial life is fucking hilarious to me. At least partially because that's the kind of self absorbed stupid bullshit america would actually try to pull.

I mean there are a lot more questions than that OP. Why did the retard scientist decide to shock the fucking thing? It went dormant for like a few hours and he was just like "BOOOOOOORING ZAP THE CUNT MAKE IT DO SOMETHING". Like a kid prodding a lizard because it isn't being entertaining.

stupid post from a stupid person

a thing this film did that I didn't like was it's assumption that the disintegration of the ISS in stable orbit wouldn't in and of itself be a disaster of similar scale to aliumz

if the ISS were to do that it would create like 10,000 at a conservative guess, extra pieces of large high speed space debris which would kick start the Kessler syndrome cascade, destroying all satellites and returning us to the 1930s in terms of infrastructure

this would result in all kinds of humanity getting fucked up in the long run, probably ending in nuclear war over the dwindling remaining available resources after agricultural infrastructure fails without the aid of modern telecommunications networks

He can't spell for shit, but desu, the idea that America would be allowed to unilaterally decide what it would be named, and that they would bestow that honor to some random little girl, is actually ridiculous.
