Historical Fiction movies are almost always horrible at history. Its happens 9 times out of 10, but my recent example would be A Knights Tale. All the armor they used, it spanned a time frame of hundreds of years.

A Knight's Tale was shit anyway.

Total Recall
Red Planet
Crap, the list could go on forever.
Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
You liked Red Planet? Ick.
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)

I thought we were rating on anti-physics.

Its funny. I thought i was a bad person to go to a movie with. But now, seeing what you guys are like, i feel much better about myself.
Thanks all.
Ignoring physics in movies is only bad if its done badly enough that you cringe.
"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink, because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.
Oh. Sorry.

I agree. I go to movies for entertainment and as long as the corners cut won't prevent me from suspending my disbelief, I don't care. I would have liked Phantom Menace if it wasn't such a boring piece of shit. I so wanted Star Wars to take the next step. Alas Lucas was too confident in himself. Fool.Its funny.

I just saw a snippet of some disaster movie where they were planning on closing a fault line using nuclear bombs. I love the magical properties the word "nuclear" has.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Oh.
Something else just occurred to me after reading about your fault line disaster movie.
In Superman II, or is it III, Lois Lane is in a car which is crushed during some earthquake or summink caused be Lex Luthor. She dies. In a fit of emotion on discovering her dead body, Superman flies faster and faster and faster round the earth, until time starts going backwards, back to point before Lois gets crushed so that Superman can save her.
By current understanding, travelling backward in time is an impossibility ness pah. Time can only be slowed down as the speed of light is approached. And the speed of light is the universe's speed limit.
But I guess any limits imposed on us by our physical universe are mere hurdles to overcome for our Superhero. Cos he's Super.
Since the speed of light is measured with time what affect does slowing down time have on the speed of light?

Speed is measured in seconds, minutes and hours?
Effect.what affect does slowing down time have on the speed of light?
How is the speed of light affected by slowing down time? (Better?Speed is measured in seconds, minutes and hours?
Effect.)
There are no stationary observers.Originally Posted by Einstein
time slows down for an object traveling near the speed of light in relation to a stationary observer

18 hours is not that shortAnd that was the 60s.

Due to the principle of relativity, every observer may be described as being stationary (and that's why time dilatation comes into play).
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Eh?
Lois Lane is the stationary observer. Or earth. Or everyone on earth. However you want to look at.
Stationary relative to Superman and his Super-light speed.
Wow. Well I was 100% wrong in that case. Alveoli can exchange oxygen & CO2 with an oxygenated liquid.
I'll find an easier target to pick on than The Abyss then.
That was Superman. The first movie everyone loved.Oh.
