    I found this today and it amused me. Maybe it will amuse you as well, for a while.

    If any of you are about to write a time-jumping story, or have one already, you might be curious to see if it matches up with any of these sci-fi movie/TV timelines.

    It's not easily noticeable (at least for me) among all the neon ribbons of time, but there's a legend at the top right for the colors.

    I started to understand it but then my eyes crossed.
    They left out a lot of movies. Not to mention tv shows.
    Freejack, Donnie Darko, Army of Darkness, Scrooged, It's a wonderful life and Galaxy Quest just to name a few.

      Well to be fair Galaxy Quest only went back 13 seconds and would be hard to show. Plus there are less popular ones like Transers, or how about the TV show Seven Days (been watching that on cable recently) and I didn't see Demolition Man on there (since he's including deep freeze), the guy have something against Arnold becoming president?

    That was indeed very funny... once I understood it. And mainly only because he pointed out some ultra paradoxes. Hehe.
