What I learned from The Core


1. Lightning is attracted to stone structures, not metal, and makes them explode.

2. Intense microwaves that melt steel will only give human skin a bad sunburn.

3. A radio that can transmit thruogh the entire Earth's mantle and crust won't be able to transmit to the next compartment of the ship.

159 - If a pidgeon collides with your car, do not use the brakes! In fact, speeding up the car is a better solution. Who cares about other people, right?

160 - 1 of 10 people have pacemakers...

161 - If you suspect the end of the world, just tell one guy... Then go drink with a buddy.

162 - Fruit is the best tool for illustrating.

163 - If birds fall from the sky, flee in terror. Scream and cry!

That the anti-Catholicism of Hollyweird continues to rear its ugly,hate-filled head. Let me break this down for you all.

Q: Which major city is destroyed?

A: Rome

Q: What is Rome best known for?

A: Being the seat of JESUS CHRIST's representative on earth (that's the Pope for you musslemen out there)

Q: What does the Pope best represent?

A: A rejection of the homoquerical agenda

Q: What does Hollywood love even more than the money?

A: Advancing the homoquerical agenda and providing reach arounds

Q: What then must Hollyweird disrespect and destroy at all times?

A: The Pope and his understanding that God made Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve.

Nice try Hollyweird. You may not care about traditional family values. You may be recruiting our children to the homoquerical agenda, but we will stand idly by. Where possible we will oppose these horrible movies and we will take to the streets if necessary.

Also, I find it hilarious that post after post notes the problems of "science" (aka Darwin's monkey talk), but no problems of morality. Think. about. that.

Can't tell if trolling or just stupid.

What a surprise that an "agent" i.e., an agent of Hollyweird's homoquerical agenda would attack my post with nothing but name calling and invective. Sad. I see that you worship at the altar of David Lynch and Gene Roddenberry, two high priests of Hollyweird and Darwin's monkey talk worldview.

What a surprise that you couldn't undermine my FACTS about this godless trash. I feel terrible for you, "agent": All these points I make to devastating effect, and you have nothing to respond with. Maybe your Hollyweird principals need to re-examine their agents.

reply

Homoquerical isn't even a word. I googled it and nothing came up.

Made up words make all your points invalid. Agents of Hollywood 1, Religious Nutters 0!

I'm sure in whatever liberal-trash, America-hating dictionary (probably Webster's) you used the word wasn't there, but, trust me, friend, it is a real word. I don't know why you hate the real America so much, but it is plain that you do. As plain as the hatred that the Hollywood folks behind The Core hate Catholicism. Get out and learn the REAL words and the REAL truth, my friend. Godspeed.

I see how it is. What I'm saying is too real for you, isn't it? You can't engage me on the FACTs. You can't recognize that I'm showing the TRUTH and the LIGHT regarding this hateful movie; indeed, illustrative of Hollyweirds entire hateful, anti-Catholic BS. I suppose that makes sense given that you appear to worship pagan deities and undead homoquericals.

So, I think you just got served, as they say. I'll await your response, but I'm not expecting too much.

reply

lol, you sound thicker than the earth's crust....very buffo

reply

I don't understand your comment, oh-so phallically named one. First, as my post is not auditory in nature, I do not understand how it could "sound." Please. Served.

And, yes, I have put on a few pounds recently, but I don't see what that has to do with anything. Mom says it is just a product of a growing boy liking his sweets. Regardless, perhaps if you stick to engaging on the facts and merits then we can get somewhere debating this horrible, God-hating movie.

reply

lol you should try reading my reply using the other meaning of "being thick".

also, dicht is not remotely phallic in german...but beware, it also has multiple meanings.

anyways, q.e.d

165. If you have a big government project called "Project DESTINI" whose acronym-spelling is clearly explained, make sure that all references to it are mislabeled "Project Destiny"

166. Massive worldwide earthquakes automatically mean that the Earth is healing itself.

adding the double-used numbers and removing double-posts we're actually at #188

so,

188) when you're in space you always move in slow-motion. even if you just hit a switch.
189) the drilling device is able to let matter just vanish into nothingness. the material is just gone.

at last something I probably just didn't get: why do they call the drilling-thingy a laser while Brez's invention was microwave-based?

to all you out there who enjoyed the hilariousness (without being all to cocky about it) like me, you should definitively watch the making of from the dvd. it has the same kind of fun in it. like how they actually think, that this is an awesome movie and totally unique, because "noone has ever done it".
and how they praise the great acting and support it with the clip where aaron's character's friend died, where he did like the only really bad acted scene of the movie. And "wow, look at these amazing special effects".
Best of all: Hilary Swank talking about how weird it was to act to the fact that that one guy's heart stopped because she DIDN'T EVEN HAD THE HEARTRATE MONITOR IN FRONT OF HER, BECAUSE IT HAD TO BE REMOVED TO MAKE SPACE FOR THE CAMERA. "I had to pretend everything." wow, hilary, pretend? really? HOW DARE THEY EXPECTING THIS FROM AN ACTOR!!
ever noticed from which adjective the word "hilary" may come from? yeah.

190) All oxygen-feeding cables are universally interchangeable, regardless of whether they are used to feed oxygen to a human pressure suit or to a piece of crystal-cutting plasma machinery.

191) Crystal-cutting gizmos, now matter how advanced in plasma technology, need oxygen just like your basic acetylene torch.

192) London bus drivers with a bird fluttering in their face will not attempt to slow down or stop, instead opting to let go of the wheel and allow the bus to career down the road until it hits something and flips onto its side.

193) A ship designed to survive travelling to the earth's core will find itself in mortal peril when encountering an underwater earthquake with some falling rocks.

194) When puncturing a hole in a super-sized geode surrounded by magma, the hole will miraculously solidify behind the ship, then melt again a few minutes later.

195) When a compartment is being crushed like a tin can, the CCTV for that compartment will remain functional and point in the same direction throughout, completely undisturbed.

196) When the sun punches a hole in the EM field large enough to see from space, the "death ray" it will produce will only be 200 yards wide.

197) One must design a compartment ejection system to be fully automated, yet install 'compartment ejection switches' on the commander's control station anyway, even though the ship was never designed to eject compartments manually.

198) Getting to the core is fraught with obstacles, yet getting back by riding a shock wave at 3x the speed with no lazers and minimal steering is a piece of cake.

199) Whales only sing when a ship is close by.

200) When a hacker is doing his thing in an internet cafe, he will always use software that flashes "NETWORK ACQUIRED" on his screen in huge lettering, because his hat and glasses are more than enough to conceal what he's really up to.

201) In Hollywood disaster movies, when a disaster strikes, it always strikes capitals of the world FIRST. In The Core, it was Rome. In Armageddon, it was Paris. Apparently if you live in small towns nobody's ever heard of, you're gonna be OK. But big cities are OK too, just don't visit your country's capital on the eve of Armageddon.

202. If you invent a metal able to withstand massive amounts of heat found at the earth's core, it can still be fabricated and molded using normal metalworking methods.

203. A peach has meat in it...sorry veggies ;)

204. Someone navigating directions will tell an advanced pilot/astronaut to 'turn right' rather than 'starboard'...just in case they don't understand.

205. The Virgil has the same unexplained artificial gravity drive as The Death Star and S.S. Enterprise to give it's crew the unnecesary "feel" of being in the surface of the earth, and it still works when all other electricity runs out, no matter what's the orientation of the ship or the actual force of gravity the ship will be affected to.

And they spent time explaining the different uses of any compartment and making expensive models of how the cabin will behave when tilting the ship, but they didn't think the artificial gravity would be worth a single line in the movie, like "And with the super special gravity drive, not matter the position of the ship, it will always feel like it's horizontal all the time and we'll be able to walk from one compartment to the other."

206. If the heat being received by the metal shield powers-up the main computers, it doesn't matter how much heat the metal receives or the speed of the interface with the hot lava, all of the computers will work fine with not a single voltage, phase or amperage variation.

This is really good luck or something. Back at home I need to have a voltage protector and a battery to protect my PS4 and my TV from the somehow often voltage peaks on my country, but in Hollywood the electrical current is always perfect.

207. You can survive hours inside a few square meters with the life-support systems off and not worry about them.

208. Even the brightest scientist in the word can't conceive using the special suits (wich stands for enourmous amounts of pressure, are effectivelly good thermal insulators and are rather lightweight) to use them to withstand the pressure and temp of a couple miles of water and swim up to the surface.
