A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
50 Cent as a computer scientist.
The guy who played John Chriton in Farscape.
He was very suited to the action and comedy stuff in the show, but there's just something kinda gormless about his face that made him mathing out and frantically writing sums on the floor seem more unbelievable than the muppet space opera going on around him.
Ice cube pulled off being a modern social media user in the new war of the worlds themed ad, he didnt even know how to leave the house
Charlie Sheen as an astronomer in The Arrival.
Tara Reid as an archaeologist and museum curator in Alone in the Dark. In fact the only good thing about that movie was the soundtrack.
Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic. Dude had to play a super nerdy doctor, basically a wet noodle. Let's cast a guy with a nine inch neck and could actually water his way through most of the bad guy minions.
Henry Rollins would be a better philosopher.
Channing Tatum as a NASA scientist in "fly me to the moon" was just painful.
I recently watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes, so James Franco as the scientist/dad. Like seriously, we’re rebooting such a classic and James Franco is the best we could come up with??
