I have fun being creative. For me, this includes writing, drawing, and making certain crafts (such as designing & creating greeting cards). I also enjoy singing (particularly hymns), playing instruments, photography, and reading (especially my Bible). My outdoor hobbies mainly consist of golfing, biking, fishing, and of course, metal detecting. :grin:
 
I also pleasure myself by finding technical flaws in movies!...You know, Like in Castaway where theres no birds on the island? Every little atoll or island is teeming with birds, but nope! Not a bird one in Castaway! :mad: whats the deal with that? Is this some sort of magical island that no bird has yet discovered?

Also in Lethal Weapon, Danny Glover shoots that one guy with a pneumatic nailgun? No air line attached! And it wasnt a Paslode impulse nailer either! Aggregious lack of technical understanding! Even if it had an airline attached to it, EVERY carpenter shuts down and empties his air tank at the end of the day! Nobody would ever just drop the gun and go home leaving a full tank of air on a live nailer laying on the floor in somebodies house!

Then, in Diehard II, Bruce Willis sparks up his Zippo and blows an airliner out of the sky? In a massive snowstorm? As its taking off?? With AV gas being basically charcoal lighter fluid? Cannot happen! Yippee Kayay my @ss!

Dont get me started on LOTR...like when Legolas shoots that big Elephant in the head with three arrows on his string? Everybody knows the force of one arrow is a lot stronger than dissipated by firing all three...besides that, a great big elephant has a massive skull to penetrate with an arrow from behind like that...everybody knows this...My Wife cant stand it, but hey, somebody has to call out obvious technical flaws that defy physics!...And so I do...:laughing:

I remember some of the old classic monster movies from when I was a kid and wonder about things like, if the Frankenstein monster was so hard to destroy and kept coming back in sequels having survived his supposed destruction in the previous film, then why didn't the "bride of Frankenstein" show up in any sequels, maybe asking for support ? :lol: In the original "The Wolf Man" with Lon Chaney, the very first time he is starting to change into the wolfman he takes off his shoes and socks and also his shirt so he was just in a tee shirt and pants when he transformed, but then when he is shown passed out on his bed the next morning and human again he wakes up with a shirt on, did the wolf man decide to put on a shirt before passing out on the bed ? :lol: There are likely other such goofs in those old classic monster movies but that's a couple I could think of offhand.

Hey Mud, if you like finding goofs in movies, or knowing where in a movie to look for goofs, I just did a search and the "Internet Movie Data Base" should have a "goofs" section on each movie it lists unless there are actually some movies without any goofs :lol:, here are a couple examples:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034398/goofs/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021884/goofs/

Some of the goofs in movies you might not even notice just watching the movie, but after you read where they are then the next time you watch it you'll likely be watching just to see the goofs :lol:

Watch Arnie in Commando, where the yellow Porsche rolls on it's side, Arnie drops the guy off the cliff..

"Remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied"

Flips the Porsche back on it's wheels, drivers side mashed-in, but as they drive-away......drivers-side in showroom shape. :lol:

Just checked that movie's "goofs" page, it "only" lists "just" 282 items :laughing:

Gardening , cooking , home brewing , fishing , reading. Sometimes I do a little gold prospecting or tinkering with recovering gold from electronics or decorative plates , I do that less often but really enjoy the science involved.

Hey Mud! Is it true in the movie "Sparticus" you can see guys running up hills wearing a wristwatch? I've always heard that but never checked it out.:shock:
 
Was joking in my first post. I really do like gardening, classic car shows, garage sales when I get the chance, family and lately, flying my new drone. :cool:
 
Ancient coin collecting consumes most of my spare money, with occasional ham radio related purchases (Extra class). I like to read a lot, too. Board games with friends when available.

There aren't many Ham's around like there used to be. I got my license when I was 12, but haven't played with radios since College. Still remember some of the code, though.
