    There's a difference between 'opening up your imagination' and accepting sheer, overdone, underthought crap. Some stretches are fine, but there's a lot of stuff, little stuff especially, that bothers some people.

    The glass section really impressed me on the site, because movies piss me off with glass. They have plate glass windows in cars and people diving through plate glass... and with my family in the glass business, it PISSES ME OFF. It just irks me. Always has.

    Though of course I'm not smart enough to get the math crap.

    It's quite a nice site...if you like it, check out http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/movies/index.html ...it's sort of like that site, except about bad space scenes in movies and the like.
    Grab the opportunities life hands you, that's my motto!

    That made me laugh. xD

    Thank God my action movie will never get made. It would be about a trillion times worse than the core. I am inspired to add more action to the movie. It already has outer space battles and sky diving battles through the atmosphere! Why not throw in guns with unlimited ammo the size of a sky scrapper. Or have the bad guys have baseball bats with broken shards of glass all over it. Not to mention we blow up the moon. Such an awesome movie.

    I like action movies because they aren't realistic. If I wanted to see a real action movie that obeyed physics, puzzle pieces and other whacky stuff, I'd go outside.

    shoot. I was kinda hoping that they'd have something on that Keanu Reeves movie "Chain Reaction."

    I watched that when I was a Junior in Highschool, and noticed after the thing blew up, that all the metal debris was glowing and flashing, seemingly electrostatically charged as from what happens after an EMP. But, as far as I knew, and EMP is created only from Nuclear explosions. Asked my chemistry teacher who used to be a physicist for the NASA Jet Propulsion labs (and quit cuz he got bored. ) and he didn't know because he hadn't seen the thing.

    but ah well. I'm a Psychologist, not a Physicist, and apparantly operate under a flawed method of research, so I probably couldn't understand the thing anyways. <-- self deprecating sarcasm.

    Read it eons ago and the only thing it could possibly serve is to have you not imagine impossible things. Too bad it doesn't work as I often imagine myself doing impossible things (like stopping buses with my 1/2000x mass). Anyway, having read that, it is quite true, though...if things were made to be realistic I don't think movies would be all that entertaining...they would be like plays or something.

    So Dr Unne is really conspiring to have plays forced down our throats >:oooo

    The good thing about plays is that they are generally written by intelligent people, not people who think that having a character announce a twenty-four hour deadline builds suspense.
    "The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
