The TVR in the movie made me moist......as did Halle Berry.

Just don't show me the kid in 2018 normal reality time that can use his PDA or cell phone and hack into the FBI and change files.

On ALL the shows, TV and movies the "hacker" can just pound on random keys, often the same few keys over and over, never ever use the enter key, or the space bar, and god forbid need to use the arrow keys or back space or touch a mouse, and hack into any system in the world in minutes. Why don't they film some professional typists entering code, and at least fake that sort of typing?
They can if they are Russians.

You mean movies are fake? I thought they were all true to life documentaries.

Well, if you are watching a movie with Wolverine in it...

I read all the hype when Flyboys came out on how he made the flying so realistic. I also know that full rudder deflection on those (especially a Dr.1) can make some wicked skidding turns as opposed to the not having any effect as in the movie.

When it is a movie based on real events I expect it to behave within the bounds of Scotty's reality. Outside of that it doesn't bother me, especially movies like Die Hard or the good Red Dawn. Some don't even need good special effects. Looking at you old Doctor Who episodes.

I don't give a damn about his religion or politics, but he's made some really entertaining movies. The Firm, a Few Good Men, Top Gun, Mission Impossible, hell, he was even really entertaining in Tropic Thunder.
Tom Cruise was one of the best parts of Tropic Thunder, hilarious.

You are in league with Lewis&Clark and George Washington.

Hey nobody 'needs' to make a movie. The legend is there.

Whine all you want about the physics of American movies, but they can't touch the sheer off-the-charts bending of physics

Fun fact about The Italian Job remake: the cars driving in the subway were electric, car sounds added.
