I saw a brief trailer on TV. I'll wait for it to be shown on the TV, then record it to DVD. Bargain! - a good film for less than £1.

It doesn't match the earth's rotation.

It matches its own orbit.

That's right. The moon takes about 28 days to orbit the earth, and that's why a complete sequence of phases takes that long.

Incidentally, it may be just a coincidence, but I have a sneaking feeling that menstruation must be influenced by the moon's phases. My first wife comes on every last quarter!

That's why it is called 'menstrual' . Same root as 'moon' and 'month'.

Average 28 days, same as moon's lunar cycle

'Lunar' and 'lunatic' have the same root.

Any further connections are at your own risk .

Ah, so if the moon flew away she'd stop having periods? That would be nice.

Yes its called Moonopause!

Thanks. Brilliant.
Unfortunately, I can't find one I'd really like to watch: The Philadelphia Experimant (and The Philadelphia Experiment 2 as well).
Worth bookmarking, though, and Gravity's there.
Can I burn it to DVD? (I'm willing to pay for the DVD!)

that i dont know,perhaps there is a program that will record as it is streaming?

No, I didn't mean that. I haven't really looked at many and I'm sure there will be many I'd like to watch. The two I quoted (PE and PE2) are two which I'd particularly like to see (again) and which are never aired on TV these days. That's rather surprising, actually, as just about every other film is repeated almost weekly!

bit of info,dont choose 'warhorse' to watch,as its missing the last 10-20 mins.

Ah. Is it a bit unreliable then? I suppose a good idea would be to scroll through to the end first to see if it's' there!

Edit: Just checked and the ending to 'Gravity' is there. I'll watch it for free, then.

Being a tight-fisted Yorkie, I can't resist a bargain.

Yes, quite right. Don't know where the Earth's rotation came from? I meant the Moon's rotation slowed until it matched its orbit. Either way the Earth doesn't rotate because it's pulled by the Moon's gravity.

Just watched Gravity. In my experience, it takes several attempts before the site will load properly but, once loaded, the film played flawlessly. Very clear pictures, stereo sound. Just the occasional message along the bottom which didn't spoil my viewing really.

Thanks for pointing me at the site, Gregers.

Incidentally, it may be just a coincidence, but I have a sneaking feeling that menstruation must be influenced by the moon's phases.

The answer may lie with the evolution of mammals over 65 million years ago. The first ones were nocturnal so a full moon probably offered them the best chance of finding a mate.

Good point.
