Just watched a horror film, The Belko Experiment, worth a mention for #BadSciFilm. International office workers, mostly Americans, are locked in their building & instructed to kill some of their colleagues or they'll all die. Ending is the silliest: it's all about #SocialSciencepic.twitter.com/42o3QsZ0cY

"Which emotion most accurately describes how you feel in this moment? A: sad. B: relieved. [Note everyone he knows is dead.] C: confused. D..." We'll never know what "D" was because terrible survey was interrupted. Was it "D: bewildered by your definition of data?"

At the end of the film we see that - gasp! - there are Belko experiments being run all over the world simultaneously. Billions of dollars being spend on salaries to hire workers to be later killed in high security buildings... all for... social science. For "data."
