Hey elmers they be Canadian!! You just have to look for the keg in the background.

That's why Spock had to wear his touque whenever he went off ship and wanted to hide his true identity. If you look really close you can see a big maple leaf sewn in there. Ha ha.. Ok I'm being stupid now.

It's axctually quite funny...if you consiter people actually have time for this (I'm negelcting the fact these people pull out thier Ti-89 calculators and cruch numbers on how much antimatter it would take to destroy Washington...then me humorous about it, or that they would go to great lengths to explain how a behemoth pit bull would not be a good assassin).

I'm not giving up my kung fu movies. I'm "Matrixed-out." I don't care about the phsics, I'm just tired of total computer animation that has taken over the art of acting and where the animation substitutes for good story writing.

As for "inaccuracy," it's a movie. If I wanted to watch a documentary, I'd watch Discovery Channel!

I kinda got unnerved when in "Back to the Future" Dr. Brown pours a red liquid he called Plutonium into the Delorean. Plutonium, of course, is a very heavy metal, not a liquid (at least at temperatures humans can survive.)

Personally, I like some bad physics. I don't want people to get ideas on how to make bombs, etc. from movies.

I love John Woo movies where the guns don't go empty! You want real physics--watch OLD Jackie Chan movies. Wide angle stunts! The real deal family. Those stunts are worth the price of admission.

I don't know about That

Theophylact .

Last time I saw a movie based on Modern Physics, it was about a giant ball of string that unravelled to reveal a Cosmo Girl , who herself was Computer augmented. Err...just another use for sillycon.

It seemed real authentic to me and musta been based on this Web-Site:

http://superstringtheory.com/cosmo/index.html

I hope this settles the argument for once and for all.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG
