Finding Nemo

I finally saw it!!

Sure, I could go on and on about the myths and untruths in it (I mean, reef fish going into the Abyssal zone and not being crushed by the pressure, then being CHASED by an angler fish. Fish that deep do not move fast, their whole strategy is ambush) but yeah, I do realise it's a story, and a cute one at that. Unfotunately too many people are too dumb to realise that.

My only real gripe was the fact that the pelicans were American Brown Pelicans and the seagulls were American too, yellow beaks and feet instead of the red or black of our abundant Silver Gulls. Sheesh, they did everything else right they could have put in the correct bird species.

Rantage

Bah, I'll rant.

Why does everyone get their backs up when anyone points out a flaw in a movie? Yes, I know it's "just a movie" and "just entertainment" and yes, I did enjoy it but gee, filmmakers could do a little more research sometimes.

Then of course is the old "But animals can't talk either." argument. Duh, animals can't talk. If someone actually believed animals could speak fluent English because of a movie then there's something wrong with them. But yeah, some people WILL believe that "all drains lead to water" and forget about the water treatment barrier in between (which was weird, the pipes stated Sydney water treatment or whatever yet Nemo didn't have to go through filter after filter to make the water resonably clean before being ejected into the ocean. And they might just think that pelicans and seagulls over here are the same ones as over there. That's the kind of thing I give a shit about, what right do you have to negate that? I'm sure there's many things you're passionate about that I couldn't give a rat's ass about, but I won't deride you for it, sheesh.

Or another argument for Finding Nemo nitpicks - "It was aimed at Americans." So that gives them an excuse to use a thermometer that uses farenheit scale and American birds even though the movie is set in Australia. They could have set it in the Americas somewhere. They could have actually TAUGHT PEOPLE about Australia instead of just fucking it all up as they always do.

Take a bit of your own advice guys - "It's just a movie!"

Further ranting on a reply I got.

And no, not aimed at the person who posted it.

I actually did this quiz myself and got Depressing. *shrugs*


You are a smart one. Dear Christ...you're
annoying...You probably take pleasure from
making other people confused. It's not cool
man, it's annoying. If you keep trying to act
smarter than everyone else soon all you'll have
is yourself, because no one wants to be around
someone who makes them feel like an idiot.
Being smart is good, but showing it off isn't.

No-one wants to be around someone who makes them feel like an idiot. You don't have to be an idiot. YOU can learn just as easily as anyone else.

I thought people stopped thinking it was uncool to actually learn things once they got out of highschool. It's like a return to schoolyard bullying. "Let's beat up the science kids!" "That kid always gets As, they must be a teacher's pet."

*sigh* Why do so many people ENJOY wallowing in their own ignorance?
