Snakes on a Plane.
« on: January 03, 2007, 09:43:04 PM »
So I'm not sure if anyone has seen this movie.  Its great.  Well its actually horriable, but I loved it.  The movie itself it destined to be a cult film, up there with the Rocky Horror and other greats.  Some of the things are just so out there, and and plot is so predictable, its halarious. 

The point that really irritated me though was the whole piloting of the plane.  I know they probably did it on purpose to make it even more outrageous, but the whole ATC interface was probably the worst I've ever seen.

Anyways, go see it, laugh at it, dont take it seriously.

LOL, I guess with all responsible experts there are going to be movies where there are just areas other people ignore but you/I are going nuts over  ::rofl:: Don't get me started on The Fast and the Furious and car-handling realism let alone other features pretty important to the movie. In Iron Eagle Chappy adjusts the mixture from the flap on top of the Cessna's nose, I don't think I need to say more in this crowd  |:)\

But other than that, how was the movie? I've heard a lot of hype about it but don't really know what it is (I just bought Cars on DVD and watching it now, well actually it's on pause but you get the idea).

Greetings  ::wave::

P.S. If Top Gun is a top pilot movie, then what's a top ATC movie?

Isn't Pushing Tin the only controller movie?

there's another one. the main actor is Kiefer Sutherland... let me look that up in imdb...

and that's him: ground control

i didn't look very realistic to me, but still, it's all about the controllers ;)

i'm wondering if you guys play golf too during your work. hèhè...
