We’ve got East Side Kings, we’ve got a bottle of Zinfandel and we’re gonna watch The Core for the first time.

This is gonna be a trip

The Endeavor stopping right behind a clueless worker is a weird 90s moment in this movie.

Oh snap, Stanley Tucci!

I love the idea that people would want to get a *scientist’s* autograph (that isn’t Neil DeGrasse Tyson)

Why are we supposed to believe Serge is French when he’s clearly Russian?

“Science is a selfless discipline dear boy...” Oh, hey there Academia!

“How did the core of the Earth stop moving?”

“Fucked if we know, just roll with it.”

“It’s impossible to get there”
“But... what if we COULD get there?”

This is so 1950s, I love it.

Oh snap, Delroy Lindo!

“20 years ago he stole my research.” Oh hey there academia...

Delroy Lindo invented the oscillation overthruster!

Delroy Lindo discovered unobtanium, inadvertently triggering the invasion and colonization of Pandora and the interment of the Na’vi...

Wait, Zip drives? 3.5” floppies?? Rat, cloud storage existed by 2005, you should really have upgraded...

The rag tag team of science heroes are building a drill tank and thus far there is nothing to convince me that they’re not actually being secretly funded by Cobra.

Oh shit, if they run into Metlar or Magnakor, this will be my favorite movie of all time...

PLOT TWIST: Stanley Tucci gets taken out... by D’COMPOSE!!

(RIP Chris Latta, you are missed)

Wow in the HD era, you can really tell that’s not Stanley Tucci’s hair.

I want to believe this is intentional.

Rat has crossed into this movie from Hackers...

First of all, @jonrog1: nice Captain Crunch reference. Second: I see what you did there.

“He’s in charge of the weapons system.”

I’m telling you. The US government in this movie is aware of the Inhumanoids. This is the secret origin of Earth Force.

Earth Force, Earth Corps whatever.

Wait.

Earth Corps. Pronounced “core”.

The Core.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

This looks like a lot of ComicCon panels I’ve been to, including the dude who REALLY wants to be the center of attention who’s going to talk over everyone else.

As soon as they mention ejecting sections of the drill tank, it’s clear Bruce Greenwood isn’t coming back.

Alfre Woodard is so done with everybody’s shit.

“Crashing one ship not enough for you?”

Motherfucker, she is the reason you’re still alive!!

... if it’s the afternoon in wherever they’re building the drill tank, shouldn’t it be night time in Rome?

Oh shit, the Coliseum got possessed by Vigo the Carpathian!

The news reporter: “Damn you, Dan Brown!”

Location: Marianas Trench. Incoming crossover with @seananmcguire’s carnivorous mermaids!

Really, shouldn’t the drill tank be Dante, since Dante comes *back* from Hell?

I’m singing the Inhumanoids theme as they launch and I am NOT sorry.

Mrs. Dr. NerdLove: “The whales know exactly what’s going on. You should’ve talked to them!”

“Fasten your seatbelts, we’re about to hit R‘yleh!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have become a metaphor for what humanity does to the Earth.”

I love that everyone is clearly pretending they didn’t shit themselves right before impact.

I unironically love that Babylon 5 “this is SCIENCE!” font they’re using

Oh no, random air pocket in the mantle!

Um, sir if you had played D&D, you would have known that the Elemental Plane of Earth is FULL of pockets like this.

Oh please tell me at least one of those suits has a drill hand. Lie to me if you have to.

See guys if you brought Herc and Auger with you, y’all wouldn’t be stuck in this lava geode...

There goes Bruce Greenwood.

As genre deaths go, “death by falling amethyst” isn’t so bad. At least you have a cool story to tell when you get to the afterlife.

I kind of wonder about the consequences are for filling that pocket full of lava. I mean, that space had been there for billions of years...

Bruce Greenwood’s death disproves my theory of Heroic Chin Survival.

“Oh my god. They’re diamonds!”
Mrs. Dr. NerdLove: its cool, they’re your best friend!

By Serge. You were the best scientist named after a horrifying soda ever.
