Re: [scifinoir2] The movie Meteor Storm
Motorcycles work well on the freeway because you can maneuver between lanes in California. Also they can ride in the carpool lane but the silly thing was the route he took to the bridge. Most of the film was shot in the same neighborhood so in theory it would have taken him about 10 minutes to get to the bridge, but he took the least direct routes to go anywhere in the movie. Another thing that always ticks me off is the people that leave to go rescue someone without any transportation. Also the reporter character.

Re: [scifinoir2] The movie Meteor Storm
If you really examine the routes people take in many movies, you find they meander and wander around. It helps to add all the suspense to the plot, and the producers assume most people outside of locals would have any clue as to whether the route is the best one or not. A few years ago I watched an airing of one of my fav movies of all time on late night TV, The Warriors. I think it was on TNT. The guy hosting the showing had a bunch of maps of the NYC streets and subways. At every commercial break, he used the maps to question the logic of the paths the Warriors were taken in their flight back to Coney Island. He kept showing how they were skipping obvious shortcuts, taking the long way around parks and stuff, putting themselves directly into hostile territories, like that of the crazed lesbian gang, or the nutso baseball gang. Or, he'd show how they were able to get on trains that wouldn't be running along the route they seemed to be taking!

I think that they may have read about the Mystery spot. The mystery spot has two occurrences in Northern California where magnets do not work. Trees there twist and turn and birds do not fly there.

Re: [scifinoir2] The movie Meteor Storm
They still didn't make any sense because the object curved around the earth to get to San Francisco. If it were that powerful of an attraction wouldn't it have pulled other things down by now? Or is it only attracted and repels like elements? On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 1:41 PM, Martin Baxter truthseeker...@hotmail.comwrote: Pardon me, please.

Yes, it should, unless the monopole is quantally attuned. Possible in nature. But the chances would be roughly the same as me scoring with Gabrielle.

Re: [scifinoir2] The movie Meteor Storm
Sounds as if they were bringing aspects of quantum behavior into the macro world.

The repelling force was greater than the attraction force. But as I said they were making up the answer as to why it was happening.

RE: [scifinoir2] The movie Meteor Storm
A set for the place they are headquarter in, a motorcycle, street scenes, a parked helicopter and permission to shoot around Alcatraz… yup really cheap I do not usually watch scifi channel movies, but for some reason I decided to try this one out. I did not do so well.I kept changing stations. One thing I noticed is how they kept driving places, sometimes on motorcycles to rescue people who were aware that the sky was falling. I’m scratching my head… Perhaps I misinterpreted this. Either way, I assume that based on the volume of production, these low budget is a successful, but I can’t imagine who would bother to watch. There not FX, not sex, little fight scenes… What gives?

Re: [scifinoir2] The movie Meteor Storm
The guy on the motorcycle worked for emergency services but was ex-military. he was husband to the scientist that was studying the meteors. The science behind the movie was hilarious. Element 121! They also did some night time shots at Pier 39 in San Francisco with people walking in the background and in a building that was a movie prop location that was used in Dirty Harry. (That was an actual quote from the script!) Majority of the scenes were shot on Sunday mornings. You can tell by the absolute lack of traffic. If they wanted realism of people evacuating the city, all they had to do was shoot during rush hour.

Re: [scifinoir2] The movie Meteor Storm
Yea I laughed at that too. Their explanation was that there was already a meteorite at the bottom of the bay. So the birds may have that ability from back then. The worst scene was the bridge scene. The bridge was completely empty but for drama they added in traffic. Not only that but the people in the traffic ran back across the bridge (same thing in the xmen2 movie) toward San Francisco when they were more than 3/4 of the way across! Hilarious!
