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.

100. If the FBI or w/e comes to your house, melt CDs in the microwave

Over 400 of the world's top scientists didn't come up with the idea that it took the wig guy a few seconds to come up with.

They could detonated one of the warheads in the depression in that one guy's chin and directed the blast at the core.

And what was with the hacker kid anyway.

This was one of the worst movies ever.

I expected Richard Boone to pop out and shoot a dinosaur with a big rock right in the head.

92. Don't be in a certain few streets in Boston when you have a pacemaker and the Earth's core stops spinning. Anywhere else in the world is a safe place when that happens.

reply

93. Ridiculous hacker kiddies prepare nice graphical progress bars for complete deletion of their hard discs.
94. The unsympathetic person is always German... _ALWAYS_.

reply

101. A hacker will notice stuff that the rest won't, such as the fact that the earth is healing itself.

102. Even though you are at the CORE of the earth, they can still locate your ship.

103. You can sit for 16 hrs straight and drive a ship out of the core, while keeping the same focus (near the end)

99: The magnetic field is a synonym for the ozone layer, which is responsible for filtering the sunlight in my opinion, but I could be wrong.. *lol*

100. Hillary Swank(the worst actress in Hollywood as far as I can tell) still manages to get paid.

I burned this movie, I want my 25 cents back.

reply

101. If some whales sing, it could only be in response to ultrasounds made by a powerless terranauts ship.
102. If you wanna hack the whole internet, make sure you do it in a crowded cybercafe carrying folders with "TOP SECRET" written on it.

Is it possible the writer put all this stuff in on purpose? The list of bad science is too long. Going to the library and reading a few sentences from one science book would have corrected vast swaths of the misconceptions. Do they have libraries in Hollywood?

That the people who dreamed the idea for this movie probably made a lot of money while the rest of us have to work for a living.

A "somehow visible" hole in the electromagnetic field that is big enogh to be clearly seen from space inly damages one city.

Didn't read the entire thread but will add something still

103.The black guy always dies. Always.

reply

A prime number is defined as being a whole number that is only evenly divisible by 1 and itself. That doesn't mean that 1 isn't a prime. The two terms are not mutually exclusive.

Googol! Googolplex! . . . I guess that's one way around the 100 Chars limit :-D

reply

1 is not prime. 1 is a unit. Prime numbers require two distinct factors (1 and itself.)

105: While the Earth is in crisis, the populations of the world go on shopping, chatting in bars and cafes, to work to school and football games, and in general act is if nothing is amiss-as long as there are no cheap specail effect 'disasters' nearby to distract them.
106: that a film costing over $75 million could have such fake Saturday morning
cartoon specail effects as this.
107: That Hillary SWANK-could lower herself to be in such moronic fare.
108: That this MINUS 100 IQ film-not even fun cheeze-could have been green-lighted by any studio-are my fellow Americans really this desperate to be entertained?
109: It takes days to get to the core but only a few minutes to return-with whales joyously greeting you-and then giving away your location to an already-in-place Navy rescue armada-with a 15 year old kid in command.
110. edit
111. What was with the hacker kids Pinnochio-like nose!?
112: RED DWARF has better science than this film-and its a cheaply made sci-fi comedy.

Five people can spend two days in a small room and never go to the bathroom.

118. Men in the desert have EVERYTHING to solve your problems.

119. There is always a tunnel that leads from the planet core to the Earth's surface without many obstacles in the way.

120. Natural disasters will never ever ever destroy a location an american can't point out on a map.

In fact, if it doesn't have a large popular monument, then it isn't worth the asteroid/earthquake/tidalwave/alien's time.
