Foolish Things

[spikesangel]

okay, this is a topic that occurred to me last week during a movie called "Laserhawk."  anyone seen this?  apparently a guy named MK Ultra (oh, so clever.  which came first this movie or Majestic the game?) writes this comic about aliens and umm, some kids have these medallion things that look like the kinds of things pubescent girls get at Claire's.  anyhow, they unlock the secret and Mark Hamill shows once again you can't be Luke forever by turning in yet ANOTHER performance as a psycho and umm, the kids take off in a space ship and whatnot.

now, the thing that struck me as very interesting, is that these kids climbed into a spaceship (having gotten past the army guard and foiled the commander guy, of course through the help of a spirited other commander guy who's sympathertic to their cause) and went into space WITHOUT ANY FOOD!  now you can say what you want.  i watched that movie ands at no time did anyone think to bring food OR WATER into space!  the spaceship had been hidden for like, a bazillion years and they just jumped aboard and off they went.  they were just going to fight the Aractoids (or whatever)?  alright, i guess they'll be back in time for a snack.  but then they decided to go out into deep space(9) and nobody even thought to bring as much as a slim jim.

anyone else with things like that in the movies, little teensy little things (like food for a long long LONG space trip) that somehow everyone involved overlooked?

That happens all the time.

In space, food is optional. When you move at such aextremely fast speed like in a intergalactic spaceship such as the one described in this movie, it's my guess that your stomach turns inside out and it eats itself, so your need for food is taken care of.

Maybe?

The ultimate foolish thing - the Japanese Defense Force creating a cannon that fires BLACK GODDAMN HOLES!  What the hell is that?  Aren't they NOT supposed to have weapons of mass kerblooie anymore?  Not to mention that it's just kinda silly.
