My daily RSS reading tends to involve reading blogs of friends (usually only 2 or so posts a day across all of my friends), read daily tech news from places like techcrunch and valleywag, read a little bit of comic book news, and glance through a bunch of everything else across the 167 feeds that I subscribe to (most of which are only 1 or 2 posts a week).

I was flipping through a really thick movie guide in the breakroom at work (I was waiting for a hot pocket to heat up … yum … hot pockets), and I ended up looking through the genre section. I decided to look and see if there was a Time Travel section. Sure enough, there was a fairly substantial time travel section. What was odd was that at the top of the listing there was a reference that said

I wondered if this was overkill, so I went to the listing and discovered that there were in fact 17 movies that fell into the subgenre. Who would’ve thought?
