http://vimeo.com/2119049" Has anyone seen this movie? How did our budget get so out of hand? What can we do to balance it and get out of debt? The film doesn't really give any options to fix the problem.

Homework Statement The manager of a movie theater determines that the average time movie-goers wait in line to buy a ticker for this week's film is 10 minutes, and avg time to wait to buy popcorn is 5 minutes. Assuming waiting times are independent, find probability that moviegoer waits less...

Sources close to Hollywood are saying this movie has gotten the lowest test screening results EVER for a film by Paramount. It was directed by the same guy who filmed movies like The Scorpion King 2, The Mummy, and Van Helsing. He has been fired from the movie after it has been shot...

Hi, This isn't really technically a homework question but I thought I'd still ask here... I am solving a spring pendulum model (set of differential equations) using Matlab, and the homework assignment tells me to plot the trajectory of the bob in the x-y plane. Well, I did that, but I...

Just saw Star Trek like an hour ago with my friend and it was great! :biggrin: I've never actually seen the show but I think I can make time. How did you guys like it?

I really, REALLY want to see this movie. http://anvilmovie.com/ It looks like a real-life spinal tap, and I bet it is going to be hilarious.

This post is totally spoiler. Don't read it unless you have already seen it or read it or don't intend to do either, or don't care if I spoil it. I watched the movie (the one with Sting as Feyd) and read the book (the one with Feyd as Feyd). The idea is that there is this planet, covered with...

Homework Statement In a science fiction movie, when a spaceship explodes, the vibrations from the sound nearly destroy a nearby spaceship. If you were the science consultant for the movie, what would your advice be for the producer? Homework Equations I don't think there are any...

Warning: If you haven't seen the film, but intend to, then you probably should see it before reading this. For scenery, this movie is the most beautiful movie I have seen since Dr. Zhivago. As with that movie, there are several stories to be told so it lasts a while. The stories are tied...

Is there a forum for movie reviews? If so, this could be moved there. However, this isn't really a review, its a warning. If you're only going to miss one film this year, make it Spirit. Yesterday, my wife and I decided to pump up the economy and take in a flick. She said Australia was the...

Is there any way to fix this? I tried converting the mp3 files to wmv files last night, but it reduces the picture quality by a lot so the picture quality looks all fuzzy. Is there any other free video editing software out there that supports mp3 video files?

Dont watch it. It was horrible. I mean HOR-RI-BLE. This bad guy is trying to steal all the water in bolivia. Yep, that's the plot. It's that stupid. He just wants to steal some water and sell it back for profit. Plus there is random action (I mean random) and characters just come in leaving...

in 21, when kevin spacey plays 'the 3 doors' with the lead character in a classroom, the guy says something like:"before you opened the door, the probability of each door having a car was 33.33% but now since door 3 has a goat and i have door1, the probability of door 2 adds up to 66.66% so i...

im just curious. it has been bugging me about the beginning of the movie where the professor asks Ben a question and he goes into analysis. it didnt make sense to me he said that if u had to pick from 3 choices u have a 1/3 chance. but then they take away 1 of the incorrect choices. so the...

"I want to believe". Is anyone planning to go see this? Anyone heard any reviews?

Yes it lives up to the hype and more. Easily the best comic book movie ever made, easily the best Batman movie ever made, and easily the best movie I have probably seen in the past several years. It is so refreshing to have a GOOD action movie that utilizes as little amount of CGI as...

Zeitgeist the movie, I watched a downloaded version of it. It can be seen online for those who haven't at this site, http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ Its an awesome movie and if its true, its a real eye opener, if its not... Man, I sure got fooled... XD Now some people claim that its...

utter garbage. People who have seen it are caling it a 'fan's worst nightmare' and 'dreadful'. What did you expect? George Lucas has a knack for absolutely killing old classics. Reviewers are saying it is as bad as the Phatom Menace was for Star Wars...

Thought it would be cool to make a list of good movies to checkout. Any suggestions?

More movie ****-ups W gave me some DVD's last night, so I'm watching one of them right now at work. (She's gone for 2 weeks again.) It's Lara Croft Tomb Raider Cradle of Life. I've seen it before, but this slipped past me before. I'm only about 10 minutes into it, so I'm sure that a lot...

This caught my eye at the video store and I haven't been able to find it in stock for over two months. Has anyone watched this? Is it that good or is this some kind of cheesy cult movie? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683/ Some of the reviews suggest that this could be a relatively unfunded...

What is going on with Ben Stein? He has a new movie coming out called "Expelled" supposedly in support of intelligent design? Here is the link to the movie’s page; http://expelledthemovie.com It has a few "open and anonymous" forums, so have fun.

Hiiii All :) i was wondering whether some of you will provide some idea about what best can be made in an around 15 minute movie clip..which is for a competition...since time is so short , i am not really able to think of something decisive..

YAHOO! Maybe this is old news, but I just found out today http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1696080,00.html Only bad thing is P Jackson is set to only write, not direct.

Disney's movie "Ice Princess" mistake? so I watched the movie over the summer... here's word for word out of the script "Now, l'm going to increase the centripetal force by tucking in my arms. This will increase my moment of inertia, so l will spin...faster." so it's been bugging...

Best Movie Ever Best Movie Ever! I just saw the movie "The Kingdom" with Jamie Fox. This was by far one of the BEST movies I have seen in a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time. And I got to see it for free at the school movie theater in advance before its out. PAY to see this movie. Go BUY this...

Hey guys, I'm not sure where else to post this so I'm thinking it'll fit the best here. I've been trying to burn a slideshow that my friend made in Windows Movie Maker to a DVD for her, and it's saved in .wmv format. I've converted it to a DVD format (.vob) and tried burning it, but my DVD...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=K06wDn3XsZE&mode=related&search= Just remember that this scene uses absolutely 0 cut away shots and almost no CGI effects the entire time. I thought it was an awesome scene. here are some interesting comments from the director about this scene:

http://www.beowulfmovie.com/ Cons: Beowulf? BEOWULF?? really? Pros: Angelina Joelie

I was browsing through some movie channels on TV, and there was this movie called "Ice Princess" where Michelle Trachtenberg's character was talking about the physics of ice skating and said "tucking in your arms will increase your moment of inertia and make you spin faster" If they're going to...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4237751840526284618 Something interesting i found, pretty much introduces Quantum Physics.

Has got to be Requiem for a Dream. Every time I watch this movie it makes me want to die.

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 saw that movie today with some friends. That movie is a classic, it was awesome. What a great movie. I thought it was going to be crap, but it wasnt. Go watch this movie, you will get your moneys worth...

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...

so what i am going to do is put the snap from some movie and you have to guess the name of the movie...i will keep on increasing the snaps until you guess it...so let's see who really is conscious while watching movies...here goes my first one...a very simple one!

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...
