He plays super cheesy roles for the money and then you've got: Wild at Heart, Raising Arizona, Bad Lieutenant, 8MM, Leaving Las Vegas, ...

i know it may not seem like it, but there is actually, usually, some distance between trains. More than enough for her not to have been hit.
That being said, I would've shat my pants


Usually yes.. Back 1999 new year, we were on a backbag trip thru eastern europe, filming the whole thing to 8mm and with one of the new award winning Finnish document producer on the camera, he leaned over the window, started doing a slow pan shot and once he got it and started to climb back in, a powerpole swush past his head, it was literally just 1 or 2cm... we check the situation and they were really going only 15cm from the train.. This was in Poland, Warsaw-Bialystok line (i think, could've been in Lithuania too)... No doubt they have increased margins since.. We almost lost a great talent.

I am not sure of the make/model of the camera but I suspect it's 8mm stock (maybe Super 8?) judging from the date and size.

Wow, what wonderful quality footage. It's too bad about all the shake. Also, does anyone recognize the camera? I'm wondering what stock he shot on.
Additional comment: considering the quality of the film, that crew looks rather small to me. It seems about the same size as the average modern B-grade TV show shoot. Was it a super tight budget, I wonder.

Wow, not the impression I had of Moscow at all.

what kind of impression did you have?
Gloomier, grayer, more depressive, lacking color, and colder, with people walking around in earthy-hued coats and frowny faces, all seen through the lens of an old Bell & Howell 8mm video camera. I guess.
and every Friday the empire state building gets climbed by King Kong.

I think that Australia is safe then, few spiders here are larger than the Australian Penny (30.8mm diameter btw, you gave us quite a lot of leeway).

Are you sure you're not just asking countries with large spiders to increase the size of their penny?
>> ^Sarzy:

As much as I hate cold Canadian winters, if it means that I'll never have to deal with horrifying monstrosities such as these, it's probably a fair trade off. I think a good rule of thumb is that if a country's spiders are larger than a penny, that's a place I don't want to be.

8mm my ass. More like 8 cm.

Even the digital videos in Russia look like they are filmed on 8mm film!

must be from 8mm.

Let's get one thing out of the way first: If the Earth should somehow be compressed enough to form a black hole, its mass would stay exactly the same. What makes black holes so spectacular is not their huge mass, but the fact that their mass is compressed into a very small area. This again means that you are able to get dangerously close to the center of gravity. This is not possible here at Earth, since there is a lot of rock and magma preventing you from getting that close.

But even if you were able to burrow yourself down to the center of the earth, you still wouldn't be swallowed by a black hole. This is because the amount of Earth dragging you downwards would be much less, and all of the rock above you would be dragging you upwards. You would in fact be weightless, since all the parts of the Earth would be dragging you in opposing directions. You would still be crushed because of the high pressure, but that is another story.

All massive objects have a property called the escape velocity, which is the speed you need to escape its gravitational well starting from its surface. And this property would increase if you compressed the Earth, since its surface would then come closer to its center of gravity. If you compressed it to a radius of 8mm, this velocity would excede the speed of light, which means that nothing, not even light, could escape.

This is the definition of a black hole.

So does that mean Earth's event horizon right now is also 8mm from its center? Like, if the earth was made of (nonrefractive-, same-mass-as-the-earth-now-) glass, would we see a tiny black hole down in the center?
