I wonder if USMA could form a film industry relations "office" within USMA. This is a fancy term for finding someone who will focus on getting to know folks in Hollywood who produce sci-fi films, documentaries, etc. so as to encourage them to use SI only.

Yes, saw the Oblivion trailers as well. Very disappointed in the USC in the far off future. I'm not sure if the whole movie is like that. Some movies will use a puzzling mixture of USC and metric. Iron Man 3, for instance, uses degrees Celsius to describe the explosion temperatures which are a key element in plot, but alongside that distances are in yards, feet, and miles.

Trailer for After Earth, a sci-fi movie coming out soon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5oyX2bVvEw It's a rare thing for a movie to contain metric, even rarer for a preview. This one's real.
