Well looking forward to the review. Out of curiosity have you read the book? Aciman suggested one should see the movie and then read the book. I personally disagree, although both great actors in the movie, I didn't feel they were a good representation of the characters in the book.

The FLAT EARTH SOCIETY announced that a Space Force (proposed soldiers in outer space) is a bad idea.

This..."set of flat earth's believe that, even if manned spacecraft made their way into orbit (manned spacecraft are currently in orbit), photographic evidence of a round Earth wouldn’t change their minds.

“They would only be able to observe the illuminated portion of the Earth, which would be roughly circular in shape,” he said. “Hypothetically, this shouldn't be conclusive either way.”

I think banging my head against a wall until I pass out and whimpering softly is not the solution to bad science and moronic stupidity...

I really want to know how to get to the edge of the flat earth. You know, a bucket list tourism kind of thing.

Just go a couple miles outside of Fargo and hang a right. You can't miss it.

Is that the same edge outside of Amarillo in Deaf Smith County, TX or are we mixing orifaces and edges?

They have maps but only true believers can read them or even see them...
