[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 2183657, member: 812"] Here's a No-Prize challenge for those smug folks with their explosion noise explanations: Laser beam sounds. Especially, laser guns being fired from some other ship at a third ship, so there's no contact between either target or firing vessel and the position of the camera, and yet, laser beam sounds are heard. Huh? Huh? Do we have a winner? Besides reanjr's "cinematic convention" theory? Oh, and anybody who wants to convince me that metals are more complicated at a molecular level than organic compounds (especially organic compounds that have to be assembled to form a LIVING creature) is welcome to take a shot... Oh, and just for you, Trainz: if in 500 years "parsec" means "an hour" then maybe the writer of the screenplay ought to have used the word "hour" like he did in every single other instance of the word? You think? The only reason to use the word "parsec" (given that the REAL Han Solo probably doesn't speak English anyway, so presumably ALL of his dialogue has been translated) is because you mean "parsec". Which of course makes no sense whatsoever, but hey, nobody said George Lucas knew science. And nobody's tackled my "stumbly bridge" problem, either. Come on, folks. I'm waiting... [/QUOTE]
