Speaking of giant turds emanating from Yellowstone, I sat through "2012" this weekend.
While the entire thing is some of the silliest nonsense ever to be put on celluloid, one thing stood out for me: do they know nothing about aerodynamics? When a plane takes off, especially one that can retract its undercarriage even partially, it loses a shitload of drag and speeds up. It also climbs naturally so, even when being chased by (yet another) galloping earthquake, the moment you leave the ground you speed up and climb.
That shit irritated me much more than the rest of the film that was pretty much a three-hour facepalm.
Oh! Oh! And when you're running out of fuel, you dump all those fucking cars in the hold! Especially a 2-ton Bentley!
