Scientifically inaccurate but still a great movie

Does Uma have a pointy nose? I never noticed.

I read somewhere long ago that people were getting ear jobs to have ears like the elves in those movies. Cost something like 3K.
I read somewhere that Christian Slater did that thing to his eyebrows as a kid because he wanted to look like Spock.

And I still agree :yay:
And mostly I agree. It’s just when stuff is Wiley Coyote impossible that I have a hard time. Even years ago when I’d watch the Six Million Dollar Man, and he’d lift a car with his arm - 14 years old and I’d still shout at the TV “does he have a bionic BACK? Why doesn’t his arm RIP OFF?”.

Incidentally- there is a series fairly well written that tries to be accurate- inasmuch as it also deals with alien technology. And that is “The Expanse”. For example, I didn’t realize you need GRAVITY for blood to coagulate. Otherwise someone can easily bleed out.

Just finished watching Stargate.

I have a cold, been lazy on the couch most of the day.

Anyway, talk about farfetched!

If I may ...
For your consideration ...


I'm watching "The Day After Tomorrow", which apparently some brainless progbots took seriously. :lol: So here are the Top Ten most scientifically inaccurate movies:


I'm kind of disappointed about this:

Well hell. Then this is all I get. :(


What happened in the movie is not out out the realm of possibilities. Remember the recently found woolly mammoth, and other such animal finds, of being instantly frozen, with undigested food still in their stomachs? This could have occurred due to a sun micro-nova blasting the atmosphere and dispersing it enough causing areas of earth to freeze instantly.

IDK, those memories (on reading the books the first time(s)) are over 4 decades old now, but since the movies I can only visualize her.
I don't think Tolkien had much of a description of her in the books. But you're right, it's been awhile since I read them.

My understanding is they died, then froze. And it wasn't "instantly".

Being neither here nor there, there are certainly events that could happen to trigger extinction of life on much of the planet, but it's probably not going to be the gradual warming that's like 1* every 200 years. Nature adapts. Humans will either adapt or evolve into something that's more compatible with the nature that is always trying to kill them.
