  My Name is Earl (J. Woods) — Authority: 121
  2010 may not have quite the scientifictional ring as 2001 did, but thanks to Arthur C. Clarke it does possess some small degree of mythic power.

  Standing On The Shoulders Of Giant Midgets — Authority: 128
  Peter Hyams 1984 2010: The Year We Make Contact was a crommulent movie and a very faithful adaptation of the Arthur C.

I’ll bite–MMX (that’s Roman numeral for 2010) is shaping up to be a doozy of a year (although I prefer 7DA, which is 2010 in hex). Last night I decided to re-watch 2010 “The year we make contact”.
