And so the Rockies are where?
July 02, 2007, 09:39:13 AM
I just flipped on the tv in my office. It was tuned to a classic movie channel, and I just caught the last couple of lines from an old Henry Fonda flick - 'The Return of Frank James' or some such. Our hero was walking down the street musing to the babe on his arm about how he'd come to like Denver - 'Yup, it does something to a man... watching the sun rise orange over the mountains...' or something to that effect.
Evidently the screenwriter had never been to Denver... or looked at a map, either. (Denver sits on the plains. The Rockies are to the West - to the East is nothing but flat ground.)

haha, well this is Hollywood the only place where a frag grenade simply explodes without throwing shrapnel.
The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

Just the other day i caught Commando, that 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger flick in which he saves his daughter on that island compound. It was a gas. I thought Storm Troopers were bad at hitting there target but i was wrong. Then again our film hero would be loosed if these guys were actually trained.

Monty Python had a great skit once in where one guy was in front of a firing squad and this missed, I think, three or four times. Then he told then that they had to look down the sights not the little cocking bolt lever thing on the side.

I can barely remember the speech by the Romans about the aqueducts. Remember?
So this is Disney World. Can we live here?

The best is when you watch old westerns and notice jet streams in the sky
