I really like the airport scene.

I have seem some months ago a nice moving on relativity. It was a cartoon featuring Einstein in a rocket with a special clock called "light clock". This "light clock" was simply made of two mirrors and a photon bouncing in between these mirrors. If you know where this can be found, please...

Hey PF.. What do you think is the best Science Fiction movie(s) ever? Thanks :)

& here I was thinking there was nothing special about the number 23 except that it's a prime. (actually wikipedia has a bunch of stuff on it) :rolleyes: My first thought was that it's a movie that tries to be about math but actually isn't & therefore will mislead people as to what math is...

I've got a sequence of illustrated images that I want to run as an animation. What is an easy shareware way to do this? (It is a simple cell animation sequence that I once did.) I've got a gif animator program but my images are large and plentiful (say, 320x240 x 100 frames).

I'm going to keep this thread rooted in science, please post replies on topic. I know the movie the Matix brings a lot of creative people and discussions whenever its mentioned, so let's try to keep that passion grounded in realistic terms. That said, here is a reason why I think the movie...

Death of a President http://www.nbc5.com/politics/10177457/detail.html It is against the law to threaten the president, yet some how this fictional UK documentary mockumentary of Bush being assassinated can be shown.:rolleyes: This thing may bring a lot of nuts out of their shells...

I was watching the Parallel worlds movie on Dr.Kaku's website and I got to thinking. Just because it is utterly impossible to pinpoint the positions of atomic particles doesn't mean they flicker into and out of other dimensions. They could just move very rapidly Making them just look like...

Mission: Impossible -- The Movie i am currently working on a summer assignment that involves me finding 2 examples of good and bad physics and back it up with concepts/laws. The movie i was given was Mission Impossible. The scenes i think have physics are when the helicopter is in the...

I went to see pulse in theaters today, someo of the worst acting I have ever seen...The priginal was 100x better then again, most movies this year have sucked unimaginably...:frown: (date movie, scary movie 4, etc.) I have also recenty come across cheerleader ninjas, don't watch that...

I just finished watching the movie tonight. Man, all I can say is that you *MUST* go out and rent this movie and watch it. Amazing stuff! It will open your eyes to what eisenhower predicted in terms of the American Military Industrial complex. We are becoming the Romans, aye carmba! :bugeye:

Hi, I am in 11th grade and am currently in my first year of physics. I need to use Coulomb's laws to prove that creating a repulsive force of 110833 Newtons would take an impossible amount of energy to generate...but its not really that simple, please read on. Our teacher recently assigned us...

I am of two-minds about seeing V for Vendetta; I have some trepidation about it. I am pretty gun-shy about action/adventure/sci-fi movies these days; lately I'm finding a tendency toward Ritalin-soaked video games with the story depth to match (not that I've shied away from high-action...

I saw movies with mathematicians, physicists, biologists... but i never saw a movie depicting engineers.This movie actually actually tries to show engineers in a positive light. I can t remember the last time there was a movie like this. Most often, engineers are depicted in the backgroud.

I'm not sure if a similar question has been asked before but here goes. I was watching Cliffhanger the other night, and right at the end, the John Lithgow character plummets to his doom on top of helicopter. This sparked a discussion with my housemate as to whether he could survive the fall...

I've been hooked on AMC the last few days and wondered what everyones top ten movie classics are (pre '75)? Roman Holiday Dr. Strangelove Julius Caesar Sunset Boulevard 12 Angry Men Casablanca High Noon Seven Samurai Chinatown Sullivan's Travels

Well I am watching it on AMC right now and something puzzled me (I guess i looked away). How did all the army people all of a sudden wake up after the gas attack and attack them knowing exactly what the bad dude's plan was?

I'm kinda confused on how I'm suppose to feel about this movie! What makes a good movie? I left wondering what happened to like... 5 of the characters in the movie... there was this huge web of lies and connections and inter-related interests... and none of them really were explored! So is a...

It looks pretty neat! I'm already hearing people say its inaccurate as hell but oh well! Now the problem is... who the heck can I take to this movie? I mean its pretty much about a bunch of assassinations and i can't figure out any girl who would think "wooo assassinations and middle east...

sorry, I don't think I'm posting this thread in the right section, but then I'm not sure which section this thread belongs to I would really like to discuss the movie "Back to the Future (1985)" coz I just saw it ... btw something I couldn't understand was the significance of 88 miles...

Has anyone ever seen this movie? It really is not all that great, and in one scene the main character, which is a mathmatician, is describing the number phi and the logarithmic spiral, but for some reason he calls it theta instead of phi. I don't know if that is completely incorrect, or if...

Has anyone seen it? Is it good? I heard it was about a physicst or something.

Just wondering which actors played the very best movie characters and why... Mine are ofcourse Brando as Don Vito Corleone, but that will be the same for many of us, so let us not go too deep into that. However, apart from that, i found the Antonio Salieri character, played by F Murray...

Near the beginning of the movie there is a scene when Bond drives a motorcycle off a runway at the end of a cliff chasing a pilot-less plane that has fallen a second or two earlier. From there, he proceeds to fall as he closes the gap between himself and the plane, manages to get inside the and...

After watching Donnie Darko I was curious about a scene where a 747 Jet Engine (just the engine) falls out of the sky and onto the corner of a rather large suburban house. In the movie the house was intact (minus some damage to the side it landed on). Assuming something like this happened in...

On t.v, I saw part of a movie, or what looked to be a movie. Anyway, there was a tribe of North Americans living in an idyllic atmosphere. They communicated with a series of clicks, and they were uninfluenced by technology; furthermore, they were unaware of the metropolis several miles away...
