"Bad Astronomy" is an excellent blog started long ago by Phil Plait as a site to counter the dumb special effects and mangled science that appeared in many, many Hollywood sci-fi offerings. With humor and intelligence, Phil would present the bogus special effect or "fact," and then counter with the reality that should have been shown --- often showing that Hollywood's made-up science was usually less awesome and interesting than the real thing. Over the years, Bad Astronomy has grown into a kind of general science truth squad, and it's reliably excellent reading. Today, Phil makes a simple request: http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy.html
