In space, no one can hear you scream. 

This is the tagline for the film Alien, which was directed by Ridley Scott, not James Cameron, as currently stated on this site. Cameron directed the sequel, Aliens.
"In space, no one can hear you scream." is on e of the most quoted and parodied timelines in film history. It would have been more accurate if applied to Cuaron's Gravity, in which the silence of space plays a role in the narrative.

In Space No-one Can Hear You Scream 

Absolute vacuum of space prevents sound waves from travelling and vice-versa.
When the user of a blondes face for sexual purposes finds that the pleasure sensation is too great and wishes to cry out in a manner befitting a scream. Realising to late that In Space No-one Can Hear You Scream...

In space, no one can hear you scream. 

This factual statement is a metaphor, which implies being alone, in danger, and in a seemingly hopeless situation.

It originally entered pop culture as the tag line on the Movie Poster for James Cameron's Alien (1979).

This statement is an oversimplification of fact. The vacuum of outer space transmits sound poorly; however, to scream, you need air, and thus others on your spaceship would hear you scream were you able.

This expression emphasizes the terrifying truth that we are truly alone when travelling through outer space. No help is nearby. You and your crew have to be self-reliant.

For its time, Alien was exceptionally scary and realistic, thus the expression is burnt in the American psychic with a sizable connotation of fear, hence the words are memorable to this day.
"Whatever you do, don't get stranded in outer space. Remember, in space, no one can hear you scream."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
