They have, at least once, maybe twice. Remember also that Jamie and Adam are two of the guys behind alot of those crazy movie effects so they know what it takes to achive them.
I ran into Adam (almost literally) once in a restaurant in San Francisco. He was with his kids so I didn't disturb him... -Curt Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:41:40 -0400 From: "LarryT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT, movies are unrealistic these days To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Hi Kaleb, Couldn't agree more! Everytime I see someone outrun an explosive blast I laugh out loud. *Someone* who is directing those scenes has not concept of how a explosion really acts. The shock forces move at a rate measured in thousands of feet per *second* - yet we see people run down hallways, jump over barriers and down into holes as they seek to escape the on-rushing shock of explosive gases and flames! Then there's things like people hiding behind sheetrock walls and car doors as protection from gun fire always get me laughing. <LOL> It's up there with TV Wrestling - and although all the martial experts are often fun to watch, there's little attachment to reality there either. There's a program on Discoverychannel called Myth Busters that take on all kinds of beliefs that are sometimes commonly accepted even though they have zero chance of working. Sometimes they work, often not. Things like a guy falling from a high building and grabbing a 4x8 sheet of plywood then using it to "fly" down to safety. Couldn't be reproduced so they concluded it was a myth. Hopefuly they'll look at someof the ridiculous things the movies try to put over on us.
