Huh, not seeing that. The caption links work, so thanks for that, but I'm not seeing any embeds. Turned off my ad blocker to no avail. I blame Donald Trump.

If the linked article had used embedded tweets I would have retweeted some of them, but I don't have time to search for them on twitter so it's not gonna happen.

What a bunch of hooey. Why adjust the hours of the school/work day when it's far easier to adjust a person's bedtime? When you go to sleep and wake up is not as important as how much sleep you get.

Symmetrical book stacking. Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.

"Fiend Without a Face" was the movie Hogarth was watching in "The Iron Giant" just before he discovers the Giant.

I'm embarrassed to say that up to this moment I had no idea that Brits actually SPELLED it differently. This changes everything.

Not a coffee drinker, but my wife, who is, said, "Gross. Why would you want to drink out of someone's mouth?"

Here's a couple more - Harry (and the Hendersons) is Bigfoot, who's been around since the mid-60's. Lost in Space had a robot sidekick in 1965. The novel, 'Cyborg' was published in 1972 and was the basis for The Six Million Dollar Man (1973) which predates Luke's cybernetic hand by seven years.
To be fair, if you asked filmmakers who were kids when Star Wars came out (i.e. J.J. Abrams), of course they'll say it was influential, but some of the choices on the poster seem to suggest that Star Wars was completely original and unlike anything that came before it. Even George Lucas has said otherwise.

And the Sarah Conner icon looks like Luke.

Exactly, so why give all the credit to Star Wars? That's not to say Star Wars didn't have an impact, but to imply those story elements are the main influence of everything that came after them is just plain wrong. Some of them even pre-date Star Wars.

A lot of this poster makes no sense considering Star Wars itself is so derivative. The only thing that on this poster that was really new was ILM. The characters themselves are all based on other works.

Exactly why this study is a bunch of hooey. There's no link to the study, but he seems to claim that his findings affect everyone equally.
