dreamer_easyThe Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics site is quite fun, and not nearly as prissy as it sounds. My favourite bit's the one about the sheer weight of all the ammunition the goodies can spray out of their guns.
Kudos to the Firefly episode Out of Gas for its use of space's utter silence - not just for accuracy, but for the enormous dramatic contrast that results. I also realised that there's a Star Trek-style noisy flyby in the opening credits, but it's justified because the ship's in atmos. A deliberate joke?

Date: 2004-06-19 11:23 pm (UTC)Agree completely on the ep's wonderfulness, but I had a landlord who took issue with the fact that much is made of the crew's incipient death by freezing, and yet they still have plenty of lights to huddle 'round. I thought about countering with the idea that perhaps lights in the future are a lot more efficient when it comes to heat vs. light, but in the end, figured that'd just be stooping to his level.
