Most spectacular piece of scientific revisionism in film.

Continuity in Heroes

I can suspend disbelief with regards to the superpowers but there are so many continuity issues in that program caused by inattentive writing of time travel story arcs that it just gets silly. I don't even know why I'm still watching it

I gave up on Heroes when I realised it was just a way of selling ads and merchandise to farmed consumers... just like Lost.

Alas i can't seem to quit now I'm this invested, I've watched all of Lost and have only 5 or 6 episodes left and I'm glad I stuck with it. But Heroes is like that book you wish you'd never started; you struggled to the half way point before putting it down but it always nags at the back of your mind that one day you'll have to finish it. <<<<<<< Nagging at back of mind

Oh and everyone sliding along to ground to port side when the ship banked in space in Wall-E really annoyed me.

Reminds me of Star Wars when a ship is in free fall towards a planet and tips up, and everyone falls down in the ship, rather than appearing to float.

Artifical gravity, of course.

No. Not "of course". That's the point. For them to be walking around on the ship they need artificial gravity. If the gravity is artificial it doesn't matter what way around the ship is in space or if it banks or flips, you still stay on the floor.

So it would have been more fun to watch them walk around "like a fly on the wall" than to fall like a house of cards?

How about "Independence Day"? A computer virus written for terrestrial computers "just happens" to work on alien computer systems. And the aliens don't run A/V software, of course.

No. What I'm saying is that if the ship turned right upside down you would still be standing on the floor. Even if the ship doing fucking cartwheels through space you remain on the floor, sure it might be disorientating to look out the window but if you look the other way it is as if nothing is happening.
And this thread is called scientific revisionism, it's nothing to do with which is more fun, loud explosions are more fun than silence in a vacuum which is why they have them.

If I had addressed the issue I would have been staying on topic. That would have gotten me an ASBO.

I think you need to ask farsight.

You're confusing artificial gravity with inertial dampers [/nerd]

In 28 Days Later - the "zombies" are supposedly infected with a virus that makes them super aggressive and angry. And yet they never attack each other, only non-infected people.

That could be a function of the virus... to help spread it more effectively.

In "Resident Evil III" the zombies can live off anything/nothing forever. How's that work again?

Hmmm....okay. How about T2 then? Nothing dead is supposed to travel through time, so how did the T-1000, which is made of liquid metal, get through?
