What I hate about Hollywood technology

[jAQUAN]

Today? Yeah.
It seems to be a matter of the gap between presentation and possibilty that irks us. In sean connery bond, the tech was waaay out of reach, so who are we to doubt? Currently we are nearing real world counterparts of most of the tech that used to wow us so it requires screenwriters to be less insulting.

We don't complain that warp drive is fake because we simply cant fathom how it works (or would work).

Someone told me about an episode where the guy was making a pot on a potters wheel and he was making a line around the pot with a sharp tool whilst talking, they 'scanned' the shape of the line and played the conversation back...

actually..the "ideology" behind it was...he was making a pot on a potters wheel..and engraving (as you said) lines..around and around (while on the wheel)... hence making a record more or less... and they said recordings used to be made in clay & wax...etc..etc.. I actually didnt thnk it was too far fetched.. (Ive seen worse)

Heck I've had worse,
Ever seen a dictaphone belt?

I saw that one, it was pathetic. About as bad as seeing a space ship exploding out in weightless space, and all the sparks and pieces fall 'down'.

Nasa should do an experiment where they actually blow something up in space, just to once and for all find out what it really looks like

they have done it, but it wasn't an experiment.

pictures, videos?

[Ask The Geezer]

Yup, sometime back in the 70's, they blew up some rocket in space, over Maryland, with some sort of dye in it to test what would happen when the solar wind hit it it. Of course, from the ground, you couldn't see anything. Still, in weightlessness, everything should fly off in the direction it first takes and keep going, not arc over towards the floor of the studio they are shooting in.

[TallGuyLittleCar]

and apollo 13. I think the soviets have blown a few things up.

I believe bits just fly away. no fire or anything.

[Ask The Geezer]

To be fair, they seem to have gotten smarter on those though, now they cut away just a second or two after the blow up.

And there was an old western I saw once. Great movie, right up to the shootout between the good guy and the bad guy, on a hill above where a train was stopped. This was supposed to happen back in the 1800's some time, and they aimed the camera at the bad guy, just as they drew, from low down, so you could see sky behind him.

And there, big as day, was a jet contrail going past, just behind his head.
