The Legend of Zorro

[Pops]

Just watched that movie on television. Not bad, but not as good as The Mask of Zorro. Anything with Catherine Zeta-Jones dressed in a low-cut dress is bound to be good. However,there is one thing that bothers me. The movie was set in 1850 California just as they were getting statehood. In the opening scenes, the bad guy was shooting up the place with his new Henry .44 repeating rifle. Beautiful and fantastic gun. Only problem is that it wasn't invented until the late 1850's. Do these writers not ever research anything? In the Armageddon movie starring Bruce Willis, they were shown sling-shotting around the moon and being pinned down by the force of the acceleration. Bullshit. Do these folks know nothing about science?

Does anyone else let little nit-picking things like these annoy you or am I the only anal compulsive person here? What movies have you seen that have obviously false facts in them?

movies set is space that have huge explosions and loud "BOOM!" sounds are way off too. Theres no sound in space. Kubrick had it right with 2001... just dead silence for all the space scenes. fucking amateurs.

Jack, I always like the spaceships that explode and burst into huge fireballs. Just how do they do that with no oxygen in space?

 

[Jack D Ripper]

exploding submarines are always fun too!

and all those coke commercials with Polar Bears AND Penguins... WTF?!?

I just don't understand how Zorro let the "Gay Blade" shit go on...I thought he was better than that!!

Hey Pops,

Unless it's a historical documentary, don't expect a whole lot of realism from fantasy movies like Zorro. It's all about the adventure, not the history! It would probably be easier to count those movies that try hard to get it right, rather than the majority who don't.

Abby, my fantasy movies just have me and a couple chicks like Jolene Blaylock and Leelee Sobieski. My horror movies also have me with a couple chicks, Rosie O'Donnel and RoseAnne Barr. Wait a minute. Those are dreams and nightmares, not movies.

Just watched 2001, and Kubrick didn't get everything right. Like twinkling stars in space. Stars only twinkle when viewed through atmosphere, not when viewed from space. And the background stars moving, presumably to show that the ship was in motion. That ship would have to have been moving WAY faster, impossibly faster, to move relative to the stars. I guess that's what you call poetic license.

American Beauty, fantastic movie, However, 1000 bucks an ounce? (or was it gram?)

Either way, dude needs to find a better connect!

Ya gotta know with an attitude like mine I H8 movie blunders & impossibilities. I see them in the flicks all the time but off the top of my head I can't think of any right now.

How bout the sound of tires squealing on pavement when they're running in dirt? Or the sound of jap bike starting & running but they're using a Harley in the scene? Harley's make a distinctive sound.

I like when someone in a movie shoots a revolver 37 times without reloading. That's about the only thing like that I usually notice

 

[Classyathome]

5 bad guys with automatic weapons unload 10 clips at hero - then he stands up and nails 5 of them with 5 shots from a .38...

That's Barry Cooper shootin'...

lol

 

[Tony Danza]

How bout when someone gets hung up on and immediately gets a dial tone? Maybe that happens in some places but not where I live, the line just goes dead when someone hangs up.

 

[Tony Danza]

I can suspend my disbeliefs for most inconsistencies. What really gets me is when the hero is forced to make a totally retarded decision or risk having the movie end after 30 minutes.

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

hey pops, so did you like movies like dracula by bram stoker the coppola one, or lord of the rings? or do you think they are bad movies because the characters just "could not be" ?

you need to watch jay and silent bob strike back btw

peace man!

I don't mind fantasy because you don't expect reality. I hate science adventure when they can't even get the science right.
