Flight

I saw it this past weekend.

Pretty decent but, the plane came to an unreal sudden halt in the field. I saw Star Trek II and the Enterprise skidded for what seemed like miles.

But still, pretty good flick.

Oh, the phucking popcorn has now gone up to 7.50 for a MEDIUM bucket. And a small Sprite was 6 dollars. But if you bought the medium popcorn for .50cents more you got to upgrade your drink.

The gravity was much lower on the planet where the Enterprise crashed.

I thought this was common knowledge.


Also, I haven't seen a movie in the theater since Avatar. They made me wear funny glasses and I didn't enjoy the experience.

It is a fundamental law of the universe that anything named Enterprise gets an awesomely cool death.

I'm quite sure I'm the last legal resident of the U.S. who has not seen Avatar and I'm holding out.

Did you see Dances with Wolves or Pocahontas? Then you saw Avatar.

The only difference is that the Indians are democrats.

And 9' tall. And can't act. And have a stupid tree that is connected to everything yet nobody ever picked up on that even with all the geological studying that must have gone into such a massive mining operation. And giant dragons that nobody noticed existed until it was convenient to the plot. And...hell, you get the point.

DW is one of my favorite actors. Somewhat predictable but it was still entertaining. I'd give the movie a three on a scale of five.

except minus the having sex with animals via your ponytail so that they do your bidding.

I haven't seen it yet, but I know the man who plays his father (I think they're flashback scenes).

Time to geek out.

I believe you're thinking of Star Trek Generations. Star Trek II was The Wrath of Khan, where Spock saves the Enterprise by sacrificing himself. In Star Trek III - The Search For Spock, they cause the Enterprise to self-destruct when Klingons overrun it.

In Star Trek Generations, the Enterprise-D is separated and the saucer section crashes on Veridian III after a warp core breech explodes the engineering section and forces the saucer out of orbit.

FYI, the Enterprise-D saucer section was about 450 meters in diameter, far larger than any plane.

But what about the gravity?

But what about the gravity?

All gravity was generated by the planet where the filming took place.

 

[JohnnySavage]

You are right. But, the plane has far less surface thus less resistance. Plus, the field was grassy and near a pond. It looked wet. The plane sould have skidded further. The saucer section of the Enterprise-D crashed through trees and heavy loose soil. I think we have an oversight issue here.

Sorry about the mix up.

"This IS Ceti Alpha V!

He tasks me! He tasks me, and I shall have him! I'll chase him round the Moons of Nibia, and round the Antares Maelstrom, and round Perdition's flames before I give him up! Prepare to alter course!

Nerds!!!!

 

[KRCummings]

Khaaaaaaaaan!

Not a terrible Shatner impression if I do say so myself.
