Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.10.01 00:27:00 - [31] Originally by: Haakon Jarl Edited by: Haakon Jarl on 30/09/2007 19:41:37 Really gets to me My top five is : 1. When people wake up in bed together and kiss. Who the hell kiss before they have brushed their teeth and gotten rid of morning breath? 2. Sound in space, and spacecraft with one single nozzle that turns like a plane thats flying in atmosphere. 3. Movies where people have been stabbed or impaled by a sword/knife. When people pull out the knife it makes a sound you can only get when you rub metal against metal 4. People who are shot multiple times and starts to shake and dance. The bullets passes right through you especially if they are FMJ's.edit : And how blood explodes outwords of the entry wound 5. Unlrealistic car chaces. A bus cant drive and turn doing 100mph. nd who the hell places explosives on a bus that will detonate if you dont drive fast enough? 1. No comment, don't quite get it myself. 2. There is pressure differences around the engines, as one it applying a force through a momentum charge by expelling mass through the engine. If the microphone itself was sitting directly on or within a certain distance of the engine, there would be an audible sound to have picked up. Now, whether the magnitude is a whisper or a thunderous rumble is beyond me. 3. Never heard movies like that, usually its some sound guy going ninja on a raw hunk of beef with a steak knife. 4. Knee-jerk response, but obviously over excentuated (sp?) for the silver screen. The impact of anything of significant velocity is not reduced by its non-stick coating (its a joke). 5. You should watch the Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum, they have good car chases. Bourne is zipping around in one of those ****ty little East Berlin cars, gets T-boned in an intersection, gets all knocked around. Pretty amusing.
Ixianus	Posted - 2007.10.01 01:42:00 - [32] Originally by: Haakon Jarl Edited by: Haakon Jarl on 30/09/2007 19:41:37 Really gets to me My top five is : 1. When people wake up in bed together and kiss. Who the hell kiss before they have brushed their teeth and gotten rid of morning breath? Good god my eyes are gone. I read that as "When five or more people wake up together and kiss, who the hell..."
Amarria Black Clan Anthraxx	Posted - 2007.10.01 03:05:00 - [33] My personal pet peeve: silencers. A supressed weapon doesn't go "pew pew". A really, really well supressed weapon will still make the mechanical noises of the action working, slide moving, etc. The best depiction I've seen so far has been the Bourne movies. That, and any professional in any movie that doesn't follow the rule, "two in the chest, one in the head." Delta Force doesn't just wing a bad guy and then start a two minute speech, only to be interrupted by the not-quite-dead bad guy. They kill him extra dead.
me bored	Posted - 2007.10.01 03:23:00 - [34] Originally by: Tamia Clant Originally by: me bored Star wars sound effects in nature documentaries. What kind of documentaries are you watching? It's mostly on deep sea ones where there's not any sound on the footage to start with. I could understand them adding some tasteful sfx but david attenborough would have us believe that shrimp are jet powered and wield light sabres.
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.10.01 07:57:00 - [35] How the humans always come across some all powerful seemingly invicible race and yet they always find a way to beat em. Just once I'd like to see em lose. Also a stupid little kid who can fly a spacefighter better than trained wingmen and takes out a capitol ship BECAUSE THEY PUT THEIR REACTOR IN THE HANGAR BAY! ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Amarria Black Clan Anthraxx	Posted - 2007.10.01 08:23:00 - [36] Originally by: Micheal Dietrich How the humans always come across some all powerful seemingly invicible race and yet they always find a way to beat em. Just once I'd like to see em lose. I've always wanted to make a movie that focused on a pretty darn human-looking alien race and their plight at the hands of an evil extraplanetary menace. The whole movie, they struggle in vain and are eventually wiped out. In the end, the antagonist would turn out to be... Man. The problem with the "beat the badass aliens with a macbook" movies is that the concept of a wise and/or quick-witted protagonist overcoming the superior foe is archetypal across all of humanity. Since man developed language, we've used these stories to illustrate how brain > brawn. It's constant conditioning that reminds us just how great we are as tool users. You're rarely going to see a story that ends, "and then the monster stomps right on through the trap, eats the good guys, and then takes a nap. The end."
Sleepkevert Paradox v2.0	Posted - 2007.10.01 08:24:00 - [37] Edited by: Sleepkevert on 01/10/2007 08:25:18 Originally by: Haakon Jarl 2. Sound in space, and spacecraft with one single nozzle that turns like a plane thats flying in atmosphere. /me thinks of the good old Firefly and Serenity... Hmmm, now where are my dvd's again, i want to watch them again. That is the only serie / movie that doesn't have sound in space that i know of (apart from the scene where the alliance fights against the reavers, but spectacular space battles > space battles without sound.), AND it's an good series to watch too And i couldn't agree more with all of the points. I'v seen movies where people jetted from airlock to airlock, with just some reflective sheet as protection from the cold.. Vacuum anyone? Sign my sig
Thuul'Khalat Gallente Phoenix Wing Acheron Federation	Posted - 2007.10.01 08:45:00 - [38] Edited by: Thuul''Khalat on 01/10/2007 08:46:03 Originally by: Haakon Jarl Edited by: Haakon Jarl on 30/09/2007 19:41:37 Really gets to me My top five is : 1. When people wake up in bed together and kiss. Who the hell kiss before they have brushed their teeth and gotten rid of morning breath? You've obviously never been in a relationship, or you're just weird. Originally by: Haakon Jarl 2. Sound in space, and spacecraft with one single nozzle that turns like a plane thats flying in atmosphere. Sci-Fi would be pretty damn boring if the whole "no sound in space" was followed. Originally by: Haakon Jarl 3. Movies where people have been stabbed or impaled by a sword/knife. When people pull out the knife it makes a sound you can only get when you rub metal against metal Ok.. agree on this. Originally by: Haakon Jarl 4. People who are shot multiple times and starts to shake and dance. The bullets passes right through you especially if they are FMJ's.edit : And how blood explodes outwords of the entry wound This aswell. Bullets WOULD pass through a lot tho, whet is worse is when people take cover behind chairs, plaster walls, car doors etc when getting shot at by high-powered rifles, and the bullets are stopped by these flimsy defences. Originally by: Haakon Jarl 5. Unlrealistic car chaces. A bus cant drive and turn doing 100mph. nd who the hell places explosives on a bus that will detonate if you dont drive fast enough? Edit on this one... agreed --- Do YOU have what it takes?
Lady Vampyra	Posted - 2007.10.01 08:52:00 - [39] As a young movie goer, I swore never to buy an American car. Everytime they crashed they exploded and were engulfed in a ball of fire. Not a good advertisement for Detroits finest.
Thuul'Khalat Gallente Phoenix Wing Acheron Federation	Posted - 2007.10.01 08:56:00 - [40] American cars have a tendency to be rather sluggish in corners --- Do YOU have what it takes?
Haakon Jarl Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.10.01 09:51:00 - [41] Originally by: Thuul'Khalat You've obviously never been in a relationship, or you're just weird. Yes. Not liking morning breath is because of either of the two you meantioned Personally I dont like breathing on anyone when my breath smells like dead horses, nor do I like receiving dragon breath. In it for the state
Sqalevon Masuat'aa Matari	Posted - 2007.10.01 11:26:00 - [42] Edited by: Sqalevon on 01/10/2007 11:29:06 I really dislike the way they portrait explosions, with a big fire plume, like someone ignited a petrol cloud. Most explosions are just alot of shockwave, noise and dust... They really know how to get handgrenades completely wrong. This is how I like to see my Explosions Then again, that might be a bit dangerous in a movie enviroment, too much debris flying around in a urban area :)
Scorpyn Caldari Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.10.01 11:52:00 - [43] I find it rather interesting that nobody ever has to adjust the chair or mirrors when entering a car that someone else used previously. A lot of the time ppl don't pay for stuff, and nobody cares. 2007-07-19 20:26
Maverick479 Caldari Information Science Security	Posted - 2007.10.01 12:03:00 - [44] How about the simple fact that in movies they always order drinks, when they come, they never bother drinking them and then leave without paying!?!?!?! One that has always bugged me most. /Mav
Wendat Huron Stellar Solutions	Posted - 2007.10.01 12:22:00 - [45] Bullets bouncing off cars without making even a scratch when it's fully automatic fire being laid down that just tells me the director is a complete moron and my brain can go back to sleep.
Jago Kain Amarr Ramm's RDI	Posted - 2007.10.01 13:52:00 - [46] Worst unrealistic thing in a film ever? Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films... I mean, c'mon... a ginger kid with two mates? The next revolution won't be televised; it'll be pod-cast.
Sharupak Minmatar Knights Of the Black Sun Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.10.01 14:02:00 - [47] Originally by: Lucifer Fellblade When people have something along the lines of 60 rounds in a handgun. Yeah, in an 8 shot revolver. God that ****es me off! _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

Sharupak Minmatar Knights Of the Black Sun Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.10.01 14:04:00 - [48] Originally by: Wendat Huron For some realistic looking gunplay you should watch Children of Men. Way of the Gun is also a movie with realistic gunplay...one of my personal favorites. _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

Kirjava Lothian Quay Industries Zzz	Posted - 2007.10.01 14:07:00 - [49] Originally by: Jago Kain Worst unrealistic thing in a film ever? Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films... I mean, c'mon... a ginger kid with two mates? Wasn't one of said mates sleeping with his sister and the other using him as a gunnia pig for experiments? Originally by: CCP Morpheus Post with your alt.
Sharupak Minmatar Knights Of the Black Sun Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.10.01 14:11:00 - [50] Ultimately I would have to go with chick flix. All of them have the same theme called "The quest for the perfect man" For about a decade, the top chick flicks starred meg ryan to which the perfect man was... 1. widower with kids 2. Angel fallen from heaven 3. guy from 1600s (royalty, couldnt be a lowly ass peasant because he's a ***** poor douche bag loser and cant possibly fake superficial feelings) I mean my god. No man is seriously going to put up with that bull** without laughing all the way to the strip club! LOL! _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped. You have'll have to find some alternative means to do Your Thing, dude.
Kayna Eelai	Posted - 2007.10.01 14:28:00 - [51] Originally by: Haakon Jarl 2. Sound in space, and spacecraft with one single nozzle that turns like a plane thats flying in atmosphere. if u dont like that, how comes u play eve?
Haakon Jarl Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.10.01 14:33:00 - [52] Originally by: Kayna Eelai if u dont like that, how comes u play eve? read the thread title and realise the difference between games and movies In it for the state

Sound in space, and spacecraft with one single nozzle that turns like a plane thats flying in atmosphere. if u dont like that, how comes u play eve? Also, I havent played with sound turned on since 2003
hattifnatt Gallente The Movement	Posted - 2007.10.01 16:18:00 - [54] Who the hell plays eve with sound? Originally by: Nicholas Barker i tackled somebody in the middle of nowhere, and told them i wouldn't leave untill they stripped on web cam. Who wants the video?

That is the only serie / movie that doesn't have sound in space that i know of (apart from the scene where the alliance fights against the reavers, but spectacular space battles > space battles without sound.), AND it's an good series to watch too Serenity's final space battle technically occurred within a cloud of gas surrounding the planet, which blocked radio transmission (bad science to begin with), but as a rationalization for sound, it was...eh...ok. Quote: And i couldn't agree more with all of the points. I'v seen movies where people jetted from airlock to airlock, with just some reflective sheet as protection from the cold.. Vacuum anyone? A human being would die from asphyxiation before the cold of space affected him or her very much at all. Heat has to radiate from the body, and this takes a long time. For the most part, the films 2001 and Sunshine were fairly accurate representations of what human beings would experience in space without spacesuits. Here's an article about this: http://www.slate.com/id/2171522/nav/navoa/
hattifnatt Gallente The Movement	Posted - 2007.10.01 16:48:00 - [56] you can survive around 30-40 sec in space without a suit (if you dont hold you breath) according to nasa Originally by: Nicholas Barker i tackled somebody in the middle of nowhere, and told them i wouldn't leave untill they stripped on web cam. Who wants the video?
Halford Thieren	Posted - 2007.10.01 16:58:00 - [57] Originally by: hattifnatt you can survive around 30-40 sec in space without a suit (if you dont hold you breath) according to nasa Right, and that time is affected by how much oxygen is being transported in your blood at the time. Since the vaccuum will expel all the gases in your lungs (through your mouth), all the oxygen you'd hvae would be the O that got dissolved into your bloodstream already. 30-40 seconds is about right. But the "cold of space" would not severely affect you in that amount of time. In fact, space is not extremely cold in some areas. It's definitely not -200K or anything.
Kyanzes Utopian Research I.E.L. Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2007.10.01 17:19:00 - [58] Originally by: hattifnatt you can survive around 30-40 sec in space without a suit (if you dont hold you breath) according to nasa Absolutely right. Also, you won't explode or anything like that. One more thing, why the HECK do people thrown into space seem to frost in two secs? LOL! Vacuum is PERFECT insulator! Come on! That's the craziest thing ever. Think about how the thermos bottle works! It has vacuum in it and practically the only way it loses heat is that the container inside has to be attached physically to the outside part in some way. Ok, there's also loss of heat through radiation but that's very slow. Only way to freeze fast in vacuum is to touch something that's insanely cold already. Now THEN you surely lose heat rapidly. Other stuff I don't like very much about movies: - The classic L shaped blankets - Women tend to be shy in front of their man - Suspended policeman throwing his badge and gun on the captain's desk - Cars falling into the deep tend to blow, why? - The bad guys' speech before killing the good guys. Ofc something happens. - Policeman yelling at disguised pm/fbi/cia/etc agent to drop his weapon while the real badguy manages to escape (ofc) - "Cut the blue wire on the bomb" scenes / Hero who manages to stop the bomb anytime inside the last ten seconds. Never at, say, two minutes or something. - Falling through window glasses without a scratch (Superhero movies don't count ofc) - The ridiculous sound of hits/kicks - Countdowns where it takes two minutes for the display to go from 20 seconds to 0 - Hackers playing with stupid 3D rotating stuff while hacking into military/fbi/etc systems - The hero gets like dozens of kicks and hits and even though all of them seems lethal or at least should render him incapacitated he finally manages to get up and win - Heroes who learn how to fly choppers/planes in like half a minute (Matrix doesn't count here) etc :D
Death Kill Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.10.01 18:25:00 - [59] Originally by: Kyanzes Originally by: hattifnatt Absolutely right. Also, you won't explode or anything like that. No you will implode because of the pressure. Your lungs out your gob. Then theres the radiation, and particles that the magnetic field usually protects you against. You would be dead in an instant. Call to arms!!!

Pssst, the magnetic field doesn't protect us from radiation.
