On The Usual Suspects

Hollywood again. UCF professor Costas J. Efthimiou and former UCF physics chair R. A. Llewellyn argue in their paper "Hollywood Blockbusters: Unlimited Fun But Limited Science Literacy" that contemporary movies don't respect scientific knowledge, thus stupefying the audience. Original reproach! But, dear colleagues: a movie theater is not a lecture hall, despite the similarity. I think most people know that action scenes in a movie are perfectly choreographed sequences that nobody should try at home. Who doesn't know this, well, won't understand the film either. So science doesn't lose anything / anybody. (Source)
