I have to love this one: 10
Crazy Examples of Horrible Movie Science.
There is no sound in outer space, Star Wars and Star Trek fans. The only work
of television or movie science fiction I've seen thus far that gets it right is
the movie Serenity and its related
short-lived TV
series, Firefly.
Catching someone from a fall from a really big fall isn't really going to
help. If you're falling off a New York City skyscraper, even Spider-Man's gentle web won't
stop you from bursting like a dropped watermelon hitting the
ground. Sorry, Spidey.
I saved HSW's first one for the
last: the night sky in the
ORIGINAL release of James
Cameron's Titanic
was noticeably (to an astrophysicist) wrong. Dr.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
gleefully pointed out the Rorschach test-like sky
to Cameron, who apparently is an insufferable stickler for detail.
Ah, well, as The Handsome One often tells me, "Suspend your disbelief." It
IS more fun that way, I'll admit.
