3) You use them so you're defensive. :p I know, I used them in TFC. However I was conscious that it was pretty cheap to do so.

Really, it's easy to get past the underground thing, when it allows for that mind-blowing emergence-from-the-street scene. That was so cool. :lol:

There has been a documentary on TV a few times recently, called Imagine: John Lennon. I got choked up watching that, even though I was born a long time after it happened.
Let's see.. I guess we're getting off topic, but it was also very sad when Phil Hartman died.

Oh my god, I think you're right. Rad is a baby-eating demon who is waiting for GrayDuck's baby to be born, only to snatch it from the hospital and EAT it! He must be stopped!!

Every movie has tons of problems, as seen on this website: http://www.nitpickers.com/movies/repositor...t=121593&page=1
However most people don't notice them. It's the glaring, in your face plot hole that cannot be missed which detract from a movie. Something that requires no thought at all.. such as the ships being buried all around the world in WotW, yet no one ever finding one.
I do like that explanation that they were buried very deep. Unfortunately, when the cops said there were no sewer lines etc. down there, it goes against that theory.

Or all these could simply be government acts to usher in eventual matial law etc.And the Illuminati are secretly running the world. Really, it's so silly when people talk about martial law simply because the government is doing what it can to avoid massive civilian casualities.[snapback]52038[/snapback]
Bryan, I think that after 9/11 people are always going to feel a little bit afraid when a terrorist attack happens somewhere in the world, especially on public transit. The added security and such from an upgraded alert lessens that unavoidable fear.

I think aero basically made that up, and I think your quote doesn't apply at all to the passive protection of human beings under the threat of a terrorist attack. Unless, you know, you're REALLY MAD they took away your freedom to go to work in a building that terrorists are planning to blow up that day.

The colors are probably there to emphasize the different levels, which are named. Each level is not actually just a color. Regardless, having an alert level that alters the state of awareness of the authorities is actually a good thing.
But sure, let's all make fun of our country for taking a logical measure (varying states of readiness) to protect us from a threat that's always there. I certainly prefer seeing the extra security today when I use the subway in Boston.
edit: Oh and Mal, that attack was why I made the post. I just assumed everyone would already know about it.

In Boston, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney raised the security level on the city's transit system. Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said the heightened security level is similar to the "Code Orange" used by federal authorities.It's never comforting to see that in a national news report right before leaving your house to use the Massachusetts transit system. It's far worse for those in London though, of course. FU TERRORISTS!!

I think the most little lights I've seen was in my dorm room. Looking down from our beds was like looking up into the night sky. There were computers, clocks, power strips, a VCR, a stereo...

There's a pretty big difference between suspending your disbelief of things that are fantastic or impossible.. and ignoring gaping plot holes, things that make no sense logically in the context of the impossible setting.QuoteI think if people cant suspend disbelief, they should be barred from cinemas.haha owned you all[snapback]51928[/snapback][snapback]51959[/snapback]

The blue LED stuff can get a little annoying if you sleep in the same room as the computer. I had to disable a light in the front of mine because it kept shining in my eye. :wacko:

Anyone want a crate of lemons that didn't pass inspection? They each have one bite taken out of them.
