    Alright, y'all know my complaints about how I think this movie is going to deviate from a great comic…but dayam!!! That was one hell of a scene!

    It did suffer from movie-car logic, though. I drive a fast car. It really isn't hard to lose a truck, no matter how badly it wants to keep up with you. :)

  2. The Trousered Ape

    That was pretty cool. I agree, it might not be a good movie – but it will probably be lot's of fun. Just straight up action.

  3. The Trousered Ape

    True, but then what fun would that have been? :)

  4. R.A. Porter

    It wouldn't take much to make it more believable…put her in a tricked out pickup, maybe? Then you film it exactly the same way and the same speed. It just wouldn't *look* crazy to me. :)

    lol – the curving bullets didn't tip you off?

    I know what what you mean, but we are already dealing with suspended reality in so many other ways by the time the chase scene arrives that it does not really stick out as being odd to me. It doesn't kill the flow of what is happening. Then again, I drive a Ford Focus…

  6. R.A. Porter

    Wait. You can't curve *your* bullets?

  7. The Trousered Ape

    Nope…I've got tater tot skills, but no bullet curving skills.

    LOLOL!!!

  9. Mike Olbinski

    LOL…so very true.

  10. Mike Olbinski

    Wow, video removed, ugh.

    Yeah, I didn't get why the guy was such an awful shot when he had a dead on angle, and then when he had to CURVE them, suddenly he hit the tires…

    Tater tot skills?

  13. The Kid and I

    Yeah, my curse continues. :(

  14. Jason A Clark

    I told you never to ask!

  15. The Trousered Ape

    LOL!

  16. The Kid and I

    LOL! Point!

  17. Jason A Clark

    Don't tease. If you say “point” you gotta give someone a point or no one will ever believe you when you say you're going to give them a point.

  18. The Kid and I

    It didn't work! I clicked on the arrow and nothing happened. :( I'm sorry.

  19. Jason A Clark

    That's weird. It let us exceed the maximum level of nesting but it cut off the reply at a certain point and it took away the ability to give points. I guess if you carry on a conversation too long it's just not worthy of points.

  20. The Trousered Ape

    That's what she said…or he said…well, what somebody said.

  21. The Trousered Ape

    Yeah – it gets a little funky when it gets too far down the list.
