Alec Baldwin reportedly told his brother Stephen if he agreed to go ahead with Bio-Dome it would end
his career.
Well, the prediction didn't happen exactly as expected, but Stephen Baldwin sure sucks in acting, having done so
many rubbish pictures afterwards. No A-list star would be caught dead appearing on the same screen with Pauly Shore.
He's just so unmercifully unfunny. There's not a single laughter out of this train wreck from anyone else.
I didn't realize it before, but Denise Dowse kind of looks like Kamala Harris.
Given the incomprehensible concept of a bio-dome, I thought, "What could go wrong?" Well,
for starters, the building is in Arizona. Do you have any idea how hot it gets over there? And there's no roof
to block out the sun? The air conditioner has to be on all the time, transporting air from outside which will defeat
the whole experiment from the get-go. Otherwise, why not kick the two morons out immediately and proceed with
whatever the idiotic plan this team of scientists have in mind?
Look at the size of the bio-dome. Are you shitting me? Everybody is going to be bored in no time. There's hardly
anything to do. Additionally, they will run out of oxygen because when one breathes out, it'll build
up carbon dioxide inside that supposedly airtight container. What if the group doesn't like somebody? Ever heard
of a book called...Lord of the Flies!?!? In the name of science, the
two white bimbos must have makeup on daily, but why?
As a matter of fact, there's a real bio-dome in Arizona, and everything I've said is exactly what happened during
the so-called experiment inside Biosphere 2 (only because Earth was thought of *drum roll* Biosphere 1) which
lasted from 1991 to 1993, resulting in total failure along with too much cheating to circumvent the issues. The
goal was to try to create a similar environment on another planet. Well, I can safely tell you that...it will
never work!
To make matters worse, according to Wikipedia, "much of the original data have never been analyzed and are
unavailable or lost, perhaps due to scientific politics and in-fighting." That's at least $150 million down
the drain for nothing. Almost everybody on the team was at best a theater performer. So much for
science. They were also in a cult called Theater of All Possibilities and correctly predicted everything that could
go wrong before stepping into Biosphere 2 for the first time!
All in all, a documentary about Biosphere 2 would've been a good idea at the time instead of
green-lighting Bio-Dome, and it happened in 2020: Spaceship Earth.
