Seems like, aside from nature documentaries, every movie or game about prehistoric stuff is laughably anachronistic. Anyone know of any that are even remotely chronologically correct?
Some examples of bad chronology - please don't post claiming these are good unless you have a specific example and you actually know something about it: Ice Age Jurassic Park The Land Before Time 20,000 BC Dr. Who Journey to the Center of the Earth Super Mario Bros. movie several History Channel nature documentaries and probably many, many more Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. |

Most of those play on the conceptions of what the writers experienced as kids.
In a few years time, the bulge of Archaeologists from Jurassic park will finish their PhD's trying to find work and end up doing consulting in media.

Most people are stupid and don't notice. The propaganda/history channel is probably the best case-study here.

You really have no way of knowing if it was aliens or jesus. They seem to get equal time on history channel theorycraft. |

Another peeve is when it's an age of muskets war movie, and all of the extras are wearing identical clean, brand new uniforms. No grunge from living in those uniforms for months at a time out in the field. Also if it's a Roman movie, and all of the grunts are in centurion helmets with a red scrub brush on top. |

Oh, wait - I made a rational comment.
Right. The Trilateral Commission didn't want the Empire State Building to go down. So it didn't. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

And its the opening night of the Avengers.
And only one person is a superhero fanboy.
Take a wild guess how that turned out

Hey, we're a group of bored Civil, Structural (me) and Mechanical, we get bored and we need to rip plotlines a new one. We literaly must have spent a culminative week over 2 years discussing the plot of Mass Effect and our builds.
I literally built a friendship on those arguments.

Now, let's go full-tilt boogie on the crazy train with this: The international bankers consortium was losing money on skyscraper buildings, and wanted to find a way to discourage their construction. Unfortunately, the B-25 wasn't enough.
So the Bankers invested a LOT of money over the years funding research and development of larger and larger aircraft, but the buildings kept growing larger and stronger faster than the aircraft. Further, whilst a provident fog bank allowed the test of the B-25 to go off with plausible deniability, that was a rare event and the Military was loath to damage its reputation by 'loaning' another aircraft.
Eventually, the Bankers had to bribe the Soviets to invade a small country in order to create a terrorist organization both capable of flying the new large aircraft into buildings, AND crazy enough to do it. Unfortunately for the Bankers, their success only spurred the construction of yet more large buildings.
Please note that new generations of very large transport and passenger aircraft are just now hitting the airways...
Now *that* is how you put the tinfoil on. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

No you're doing it all wrong, Tower 1 was the government conspiracy by the lizard people, Tower 2 on the other hand was a Terrorist attack. WTC7 on the other hand didn't want to feel left out as it was a sentient AI, and promptly self destructed.
