Is that what happened to it? I've been wondering...

Ive never seen the movie. Does that make me a better person than all of you?

BTW.. IIRC Owen Wilson is a published and well respected screen writer. He doesn't NEED to act. Someone remind him... hurry!

As stated in the Worst 5 Movies Ever thread:

Was great fun to sit there after having just done the first half of SERE the summer before and note how every single thing Owen Wilson did was the complete opposite of what they teach you about surviving. Let's see....eject from plane, touch ground. They almost got that part right.

1: gather up parachute because of all the wonderful uses it has - didn't happen
2: destroy patches/rank/nametag (or at least bury them) - didn't happen
3: Buddy has broken leg, so leave him in the middle of a field to get shot while you go stand on the very top of a mountain to have a look around (making yourself an easy target because you didn't stay on the ridgeline)? It numbs the mind just thinking about it.
4: Wander through burnt out and blown up town that's full of mines? Was this guy suicidal?
5: Asks kid for water. Hey, maybe the gerbil in still making the wheel spin after all. Kid offers Coca Cola instead. He drinks it. Never mind, gerbil is dead.

I could go on, but it was just too hard to pay attention to all the details when we were laughing so hard.

How about that mean ol' sniper?

It's freezing winter,and he's out hunting a pilot in sweats.

Well, how about doing the same for puters?

Puters in films have an Operating System with only one active window. It's running at 320*200 resolution and always has the window saying 'enter password'.

Once the password is entered (enter anything, after the third try it automatically launches into the main window) you'll see filenames and computer-esque text flowing rapidly in the background and pictures appearing and disappearing. Then our hero will hit ANY key on keyboard and a window clearly labelled DOWNLOAD will start.

Urging the computer on with words such as 'c'mooon c'moooon!' increases the bandwidth with about 10 percent. How this is physically done is unknown, but scholars suspect it has something to do with lemons wrapped around gold bricks and Jars ol' Spirit drinks.

StSanta, in addition computers project the image on the screen onto the faces of those sitting at it - usually rows of green 1's and 0's.

Although I've never seen it happen in my office.
