We talking about Ronin with Robert De Niro and Jean (French action star)?

It was too long, only complaint.

so, your background with tv shows is nothing but broadcast network. still, comparing this show to just that, its still horrible.

watch the movie ronin and tell me why that movie is so much different then most like it.

no, i watch cable (Satellite) tv shows too.

i honestly don't see whats so great about other shows compared to this one.

so why don't you tell me why ronin is so great? i saw it awhile back but don't remember it being anything more impressive than other movies like it.

Ronin was fucking terrible.

?? state a better realistic action film then. i await the comedic return

ronin was fucking awesome! all the car chases looked absolutely real. no cgi in that movie. LOTS of professional driving. and most of the gun fights looked realistic too. even today there isnt many action flicks that dont overdo it.... ronin was spot on in many ways.

speaking of deniro, i just watched "killer elite" and found it was better then i thought it would be. it was pretty standard hollywood stuff in many parts, but that one fight scene in the hospital was totally bad ass.

well i didnt come up with it off the top of my head! it was on a nova program. experts were saying that training is not like it used to be, and there is a distinct connection lost with the new pilots, and simulator training was a direct problem (all simulator time, no real world experiences of trouble). that french flight that crashed was a mechanical failure, but if the pilots were properly trained they wouldnt have crashed. im just relaying what i saw on a documentary, maybe its completely wrong but it seemed to make sense to me.

There was no mechanical or electrical failure on AF447.

The pitot tubes iced over for less than a minute in a small area of severe weather.

Occasionally, icing is so severe, that the pitot tube heaters are overwhelmed.

That's all that happened to AF447 prior to the piloting errors.

i caught some of it last night, and it was bad.

did anyone else laugh when the plane plummeted straight down?

this show is from the same guy that did the first 5 seasons of supernatural.

i dont know what else call it. but my point still stands, once the ice blocked the airspeed sensors the whole computer system went nuts. and they DO train for that situation, but like i said they obviously didnt train enough for it and/or the pilots were just weak at best.

Strange, but somehow you did not mention anything about the plot in the above quote. I wonder why...

first time you watched barney the dinasour did you say "well, ive only seen it once"

Ummm, I've never watched that show.

If you're really being objective (and I don't believe you are), the actors in Walking Dead aren't all that awesome. I watch because I like the premise, the development, etc. Not because of the acting.

Oh, hey, I may check out that Barney show you speak of - is it on Netflix?

I've seen Barney. I can't decide which I'd rather watch again, Barney or Revolution

Revolution: main girl is pretty
Barney: only 30 minutes to suffer through

This is a tough call.

The flight computer operated normally the entire time. It responded normally to the loss of airspeed data. Nothing went nuts except the pilots.

The Captain should have taken over immediately from the inexperienced pilot who was flying the plane.

It's mind boggling that it never occurs to them that they are stalled, despite a near continuous stall warning for almost a minute, and despite the altitude indicator showing them falling from the sky. They even call out that they are passing 10K feet, when a couple of minutes ago they were cruising at over 3 times that altitude. 3 pilots together couldn't add 2 and 2...
