When I watch a movie the last thing I want to see is true to life crap

I want to escape my real world and go on whatever journey of imagination the movie takes me on be it a comedy action or sci fi just entertain me and take me away from my reality

If I want to see true life I'll go sit on a street corner somewhere

S&P getting crushed. This is awesome.

My one preference for "realistic" is horror movies.  Not that I hate horror movies with unrealistic / supernatural bad guys or anything, it's just I really prefer horror movies where the heroes all make smart, informed decisions and still get eaten / killed.

Misery, Green Room, Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, Open Water, Jaws, The Road, Strangers, and The Hitcher are all great movies that I love and fairly realistic.

Even if you want to throw some supernatural in there, The Thing, Alien, 28 Days Later, and The Conjuring also somewhat fall into that category.

I saw previews for a couple movies suggesting climate change would raise sea levels by hundreds of feet.

It has, and will again.  But in a long-term way.  The "liberty" a movie like "The Day After Tomorrow" takes is that the climate changes too quickly, with all their scientific models being off.

You guys should watch the "Cinema Sins" video on that movie, you'll get a laugh out of it.  Same with "2021." 

We know sea levels have risen in prehistory, and fallen, by a lot, but not due to man's contributions obviously.  That isn't the misleading unrealistic aspect of these movies.

I see folks asking why Obama bought near sea level property if he believes in CC.

But some folks really appear to believe the oceans would experience a major rise in their  lifetimes if we don't "do something", and by major I mean tens of feet.

Blues Brothers is a fav movie of mine, but near the end when the cars go flying off the end of the unfinished overpass and appear to fall thousands of feet, it bothers me as unrealistic.

why exaggerate to that degree?  Why not make it a few hundred feet fall? 

and it's obviously a comedy

me too
