    Could you imagine how boring star wars would be if their sound effects were real? That vacuum of space sure hates sound

    @par20pinspot: Or if their weapons actually obeyed physics? But I agree. Which is why I mute Star Wars whenever the space scenes are on.

    They should've just thrown a bucket of water at them to make them look like they were in the pool. Silly photographers.

    @Xeno has nothing useful to contribute: I am ALREADY the cool Mom at the bus stop. The day the IPhone came out I was talking tech with the little middle school nerd boys, and they were very impressed. (They also like my car, and I dare not wonder what else they like, including my daughter.)

    @Eric Aitala: I remember buying the level 4 Revell/Monogram models in 1:48 scale, like the B-52, the B-17, the F-14 Tomcat and a Ertl brand X/YB-35 Flying Wing. They were fun to build at the time, but nowadays, I don't wanna deal with the adhesives and paint. LEGO is now my only building thingamajiggers.
