  1. Disagree with a mistake on Spider-Man 2 Has Over 30 Mistakes · · Score: 1

    I only disagreed with one of the mistakes.

    Quote:Factual error: When Spider-man is fighting with Doc Ock and Doc Ock throws Spider-man through the overhead pedestrian bridge, Doc Ock throws Spider-man in the direction of travel of the train, and when passing through the bridge, Spider-man doesn't touch anything. When Spider-man comes out the other side, he is 'behind' Doc Ock (in terms of the direction of train travel). This implies that Spider-man has slowed down in the air - fair enough due to wind resistance - and so is traveling slower. However, Spider-man then hits Doc Ock, which implies he is now traveling faster. A physical impossibility (since the horizontal speed doesn't increase and decrease when thrown, only the vertical speed).

    Spiderman didn't actually fly straight through the overhead pedestrial bridge. He was slowed by air resistance and perhaps by touching the bridge for maneuvering in flight through. Upon exiting the side he definately didn't fly straight out, but kicked off the bridge gaining the momentum to fly at Doctor Octopus.

    That idea brings up a better idea.

    Why not just claim the next 3 letters and name it DEF.

    Or if that is still to hard to google for then call it DEF-G.

    The version after that could be called DEF+G

  3. If I remember my Nintendo Power correctly. on John Woo & Metroid the Movie? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This said it was about the origin of Samus. I would assume this would include her upbringing by the aliens that made the suit for her, so there will be no hiding that she is a she. I imagine the first half of the movie will be her growing up, and the second half will be her kicking butt in the suit. It will really just be your standard super hero movie, excpet set in space.

    But isn't the gas being excellerated upward by the vacuum and it's inertia helping to overcome the gravity?

  5. Re:It's not forgotten, just more expensive on Venus: The Forgotten Planet · · Score: 1

    Except that the gases are also escaping into the vacuum of space. I don't really understand your manometer example? The gas is going from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. The area of low pressure is so vast that it will never be filled up by the high pressure. The pressure in the tube shouldn't be able to get as high as outside the tube, because the gas is escaping into the very large vacuum.

    Does the straw have to have ever have 100km of venusian atmosphere inside it? Assume you drop a closed vacuum straw to near the surface. Then you open the bottom of the straw. Now the gas will rush into the straw from the bottom. The straw will never fill up, because the gas will rush to lower and lower pressure and eventually leave out of the top.

  7. Re:First post - source mongering... on Spider-Man 2 Preview Online · · Score: 1

    I think that is intentional. From the first movie it is clear that Superman exists as a comic book hero in that world. Peter is a geek and likely a fairly big Superman fan.
