If USA would invest half of it's defense budget to NASA, you'd have your flying car in two years..

Despite the last 10 years having a major increase in functional "flying cars", I still haven't seen anything that wouldn't be a nuisance to everyone else if they came into common usage.

That is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen and they were invented in the 70's.

For some reason I think I should have a flying car by now.

It seems there's been a bit of snuff trickling in as of late.

The guy in the flying car was apparently killed in the accident, so this must be *discarded. Sorry, @dilo83.

With this kind of research, maybe they will figure out some other kind of propulsion system that can be fitted into small vehicles... FLYING CARS FTW

Except for the flying cars and green Orion slave girls.

Her conclusion would seem to support a case of "life imitating art". (Direct quote from the SeaQuest DSV wikipedia) :

"The series follows the adventures of the high-tech submarine seaQuest DSV (Deep Submergence Vehicle) operated by the United Earth Oceans Organization (UEO), a global coalition of up-world countries and undersea confederations, similar to the United Nations, which was created following a major showdown of nations that occurred c. 2017. "

It's already 2013 and people are finally trying to get the ocean version of NASA off and running. Now if we could just have flying cars and lightsabers.....

All I wanna know is how this breakthrough gets me the flying car I was promised 40 years ago in Popular Mechanics.

Ok. I LOVE this.

Would be REALLY cool if when you 'time traveled' the environment would actually change, that is, you're suddenly driving on a dirt road with horse and buggy traffic or to a future populated with flying cars.

Everything is the President's fault! Filibuster politics had nothing to do with it. Republicans putting politics ahead of recovery had nothing to do with it. Being a moderate Republican was not good enough - he did not convert to batshitism so filibuster everything.

Obama did not give me my flying car god damn it! SOCIALIST

Go ahead, genius. Be the problem.

Saw MIB3 this weekend on impulse. It was okay, wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you want a seriously breezy and disposable movie. Definitely better than the 2nd one, which is not hard to do. If they make another one they need to open up the scale a bit. This movie's budget (admittedly with marketing) is reported at $250 million. That is insane. There are only two real money sequences: a chase to end act 2 that looks like the Obi-Wan and Darth Grievous chase in episode III, and the climax which takes place at the launch of the moon mission at Cape Canaveral in 1969 and looks a lot like Apollo 13.

This movie has some really dumb and small-scale choices. Smith's character is equipped with a device that requires him to plunge from a height in order to gain enough speed to "time-jump". The movie climaxes with Smith literally standing on top of the saturn rocket lifting off for the first manned moon landing. You'd think they'd have a money shot with Smith jumping off the rocket as it lifts off. Those things went pretty slow to start, you could survive the first 30 seconds it takes to get up to any kind of speed, and then jump off for an awesome looking stunt. Or, hell, if I were writing the movie, have him just stay on the rocket until it reaches the necessary ascent speed (something like 100 MPH or some shit.. I remember thinking it didn't sound far from 88MPH), which wouldn't take long after the rockets fire. Then Smith is transported into the future thousands of feet in the air and you have a post-climax gag where he's falling apparently to his death only to have Jones' character sweep in at the last second and save him in a flying car or flying alien bubble pod more likely. Smith's character would be like "How in DA HELL you know I was gonna falling through the air over Florida man!?!?" and Jones' character would put up the video feed that only MIB had access to of Smith riding the rocket and disappearing from 1969's POV. "We had a lot of eyes on that mission" or some shit. Do I have to write this crap for you Hollywood? It flies out of my butthole effortlessly. Instead Smith's character jumps into an evacuation basket and rides it down a zip-line... and this is not even filmed in an interesting way. A whole lot of this movie looked sort of non-commital, like 2nd unit did the whole thing.

They added a "poignant twist" to the time travel aspect which is the same problem with so many movie series these days... Star Wars, Star Trek, Spider-Man.. in a sequel, everything is revealed to have been previously connected.. connected from the start in fact! Oh yawn... more than 30 years later people are still trying to re-create the "I am your father" buzz from Empire Strikes Back. Always at the expense of cheapening the overall franchise and sapping meaning from the actions the characters took in preceeding films. What's worse, they layered on some spiritual/karmic hokum to support another cliche forced by executive interference.

It's crazy to think the first movie turns 15 years old this year. I thought it would be an eternal classic, but the last time I watched it, which might actually have been when MIB2 was coming out a whole ten years ago, it did not hold up.

They did a similar thing to operate on a brain tumour close to some guys speech centre I think. Had him talking and asked him to correctly identify shapes etc throughout so that they knew what they had to cut and what had to stay. If I remember correctly he went into a coma after the op but made a full recovery. Pretty amazing.

Also fuck flying cars, we have cyborgs right now.

Another sequel? Hollywood is really getting lazy.
If you look at the box office of the top 15 movies in 2011, there is only one film that isn't either a sequel or an adaption of a previous movie.

I'm sick to see the same old stories again and again, just because some director thought "Hey I watched some pretty good movies in the eighties while i was high, but they all would have been a lot better with more flying cars and an infinite amount of explosions in the background."

Well its obvious that ever since we got the floating/flying car that the floating camera men were going to be just around the corner
