Right, I saw a preview at the premier of The Two Towers for this movie called The Core. It looked cool. But, then last night I saw this "Making of The Core" thing on Showtime and.... ugh.

I'm no geologist, or chemist, heck, I'm a stupid 13 year old. But, at are current stage of scientifical developement is there an element or alloy that won't be liquified that the center of the earth? On top of that, even if the ship didn't melt, what about you? I mean wouldn't it be really inside anyway?

Another thing (excuse anythings that i have wrong here, i don't remember EVERYTHING from 5th grade) to get to the center of the earth isn't there like, a mantle or something that is miles of rock? It would take, like, forever to get through it. Then, you would melt and die.

Also, there is like a segment where they crash into a geode. Is it possible for there to be geodes (not to mention at a certain point in the depth of the earth, i'm not really sure, but they were pretty far in.)big enough to have crystals "the size of the Empire State Building?" I just don't see that being possible. And I think one of the actors said something about giant spiders. SPIDERS IN A GEODE? I'm confused, please help me.

This movie will win an award for the stupidest movie ever made. Nothing tops its false science and bad acting with one hit wonders actors.

Basically, its a bunch of "terranaughts" in a sinking diet coke can. Read my other thread for someone's hilarious review on it.

I couldn't agree more.

By the way, exactly how did we stop the earth's core from rotating?

I was listening to the radio when I heard the preview for the core. I started laughing! I mean, first of all, BAD ACTING, *hold nose* and secondly "we have to go to the center of the earth and restart the planet" ???? What are they gonna do, flip a lightswitch on and off? Who's gay idea was THIS!? If I were me, I'd do a movie about how we're (something or other) years over due and have it be like...a story about wholesome good stuff, about a family getting caught in the volcanoes...I don't know, something else besides "are you crazy!?" "we'll find out soon enough" HAhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!:p

Hey, I don't know if I could even fix this movie. I'd just assume burn the film reels.

Yeah the idea is pretty ludacris...and there is no alloy or metal known to man that would survive such heat and pressure..and as for spiders down there well you never know.....*pauses to wonder*....ok i do know and that's just stupid. The movie is gonna have a hard time to convince people that such a outlandish thing can even be comtemplated let alone carried out.

I KNEW IT

But since when has the average viewer been interested in acuracy in the movies? Would anyone have watched jurassic park if all they managed to do was activated a dormant 'scale' gene in frogs, and bred them to be 1 foot tall? Although this movie is not in the same planet in terms of realism to jurassic park even. Bad acting is far more important to movie buffs then geology.

I think after the doomsday asteroid movies of Armegeddon and Deep Impact, someone in Hollywood said, "Why must Earth be destroyed from space, why not have it desrtoyed from inside instead of out?" So, with the help of filthy rich producers and some studio we see "The Core" today. A movie to go see if you want to make out with your girl/boyfriend the whole time instead of actually watching it.

I know plenty of people (that aren't brainiacs on this site) that think that The Core will be really stupid, and could never happen.
And there are plenty of movies where that is the case.

Take Independence Day for example: The guy gives the alien technology a computer virus. He networked his laptop to the alien ship? Some of the smartest guys on the planet can barely get an apple and an ibm to talk to each other, and he gets his apple to talk to an alien ship. Yeah, right.

The Core is gonna be awesome. You'll see! You'll all be wrong, and I'll be laughing in your faces! Mwaaaaa!

I don't care about realism so much in my movies, it's just that I'm not in the mood to see another "it's the end of the world" kind of movie. There's already a friggin' war going on.

Bravo everyone! i definately agree with all of you, especially There's already a friggin' war going on.

Only thing i disagree with is that un-realistic = bad. I'm assuming most of you like The Lord Of the Ring? That was pretty unrealistic. Ever heard of "Suspension of disbelief"? ;)

Peace, Punk, and Prosperity.

*edit* Grammar

This is Nivao, but, gasp, the computer is cookied.

"Ahem, your 'suspension of disbelief,' which I have to use when seeing most Scifi movies, pertains mostly to Scifi, and Scifi only. And, LOTR, by the way, there are more than one (ringS, PLURAL), is entirely believeable. Unless, you misplaced your imagination. When you are trying to pass off certain wrong ideas as SCIENCE, that is where suspension of disbelief can come in handy.

Niudo [that's me] speaking.
About misplacing your imagination. Not sure sure. Wanna know what I think happened to your imagination? I think you ATE IT. Jeez, next time you're hungry, go to a SOUP KITCHEN. Don't eat your last link to SANITY.
Ahem. I know absolutely nothing about whatever it is you smart people are discussing, but I do know that there is NO SUCH THING as 'Lord of the Ring'. As Nivao said, it's PLURAL. P-L-U-R-A-L. As in, ADD AN S.
And I have like entire books written on why Tolkien's world is so believeable. That was the entire element he was basing his writing on. Believabiltity. He didn't just write a story, people, he wrote A WORLD.
Everything has a history, a present, and lo! a future. Everything is explained. Well, everything but Liv Tyler's striking resemblence to a horse, but let's not get into that here.
So before you go around trashing MY world to promote yours, which I have to admit [nicely and gently] is WAY MORE STUPIDER than mine, please realise [OLDE ENGLISHE, NOT DYSLEXIA] that you are one of those annoying people [no offense] who, just because you wanted a snack and ate your imagination instead of Ritz Bitz, writes off things that are a little out of the ordinary and amazing [ie FANTASY] because they aren't 'believable'.
[In a condesned version, that sentence is: So before you go around trashing MY world to promote yours, please reali'z'e that you are one of those people who writes off things that are a little out of the ordinary because they aren't 'believable'.]
And that's okay. I appreciate the fact that you're starving. But if you ever get the flu, cross your fingers... and maybe you'll get that imagination back.
And now, ending my disgusting metaphor, good day.
Cheers.

"Ahem, your 'suspension of disbelief,' which I have to use when seeing most Scifi movies, pertains mostly to Scifi, and Scifi only.

Who says?

Also, Nivao says- er, what was it?

Ah yes: I believe I explained my point in the previous post.

Once again, don't blame ME that she's going all penguin on us. Nope. Not me. I'm just the idiot behind the keyboard, that's all. So... uh... says who boy [or girl, I'm not trying to be sexist because I AM a girl, but says-who-BOY sounds better than says-who-GIRL, not really, so I'll stop going on about nothing, which is about the only thing I can do, other than type fast, and whoa off she goes there's no turning back now I'll never shut up at this rate, OW painful intervention I'm done], whatever your name was, don't yell at me. I am an Innocent Ignorant Idiot. Tehe, alleteration.

Okay. I'm done.

Cheers.

niudo, stupid ghost of mirkwood who goes on forever about nothing because it's fun

Why the hell do people keep derailing threads all the time:D

I'm paid to do it. What can I say?

Actually, no. I was just taking revenge on Nivao for coming over just so she could bloody use my computer. But I'll depart now and leave you to your thread.

Oh, and one thing: the Core WAS stupid. Even this guy who knows nothing about science [he didn't realize that the core even moved] said it was gay. So all of you smart people are right.

As usual.


Cheers and goodbye,

swank is sexy. loved the movie!

swank does have something about her and I think that the whole ground missle going into the earth does have it sexual undertones, if one of you haven't already noticed that.

Big missle f'n the earth! funny.
