I would imagine that water sports are too far for 99% of all people.

87% of all statistics are made up and only 33% of the replies on this board make sense.

I would disagree. Though I'm absolutely NOT interested in such, I can point you to
 THOUSANDS of people who are.

Is Lady Marmalade really a d00d?!
Either that or a lesbian robot, but I think that position is taken.

For Paladin:

Quote from: Paladin on August 09, 2007, 06:38:38 AM
I have a question that went unanswered for a long time, i'd appreciate if anyone can answer it (maybe it should go to "riddle me this" thread):

Why, when doing a multi-million budget film, the producer won't hire a real technical person as a consultant for a few hundred dollars? (i guess any of the films' IT staff that reads sci-fi would do in a hurry). I don't mean so the whole scenario should be re-written, but just a few scenes or sets.

Is it because nobody cares in the audience? But i do, and there are a lot of geeks that do too.
Or is it that logic and science really offend the movie-goer audience?

And also, one from myself along the same lines:

Why is it that in almost every film the roadways are always wet? Has anyone else ever noticed this, or is it just me?

It appears that other people have wondered about the wet roads:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070630230950AAQXd6c

I'm not trying to compete with BizB, i just realised that there are a lot of wet roads in films and did a quick search.

I doubt that google can answer my question, it was more a philosophical one, but any links or opinions would be welcome.

For Paladin: Movie geeks?

Why is it that in almost every film the roadways are always wet? Has anyone else ever noticed this, or is it just me?
Thanks for answering the roads one, Paladin.

Now as to the computer techs consulting on films...
I couldn't find anything concrete on this and the reason why will be self evident as I explain why I think you see movie errors related to computers.
1) According to your average person over the age of 50 (think: Hollywood directors) believe that 14 year old who can put together a myspace page is a computer expert.
2) No matter how well you explain the way technology works to a right-brained person, they'll never really get it.
C) No matter how fucked up the technology is in the movie, only 10% of the population will notice it.
IV) If you consulted on a movie and they got it wrong, you wouldn't complain because consulting on movies is gravy work

That's the best I've got.  It works for me.

There never were gender indicators above our avatars.  There were sex indicators.

Sex is not a dirty word.  Sex identifies the genitalia we were born with.
Gender is a word that refers to with which sex we most closely identify ourselves.
