Why do people praise Guardians of the Galaxy but criticize the Transformers movies?
I mean, the Transformers movies and Guardians of the Galaxy were meant to be dumb, sci-fi, action movies that were made to sell tickets and be entertaining. I see no difference between them in terms of quality (storytelling or visual effects). But people say the Transformers movies are bad and I've heard some people say Guardians of the Galaxy is better than the original Star Wars movies.
By the way, I can understand why someone might say "Guardians of the Galaxy is better than the original Star Wars movies" to mean "I enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy more than the original Star Wars movies " but I can't understand how someone can say say it to mean "Guardians of the Galaxy is superior in quality to the original Star Wars movies."
4 AnswersMovies6 years agoHow successful do you think Mad Max: Fury Road will be?
Do you think it will be a big hit because of the new special effects and the actors in it or do you think it won't be because the old Mad Max movies are pretty old and they're mainly cult films in America.
2 AnswersMovies6 years agoWhat are some famous movies that everyone (figuratively speaking) but you has seen?
I'll admit I haven't seen Ghostbusters, Rocky, Airplane!, Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense, or The Exorcist, just to name a few.
3 AnswersMovies6 years agoWhat would you say is the worst James Bond Movie?
Out of the 23 Eon movies and Never Say Never Again.
4 AnswersMovies6 years agoDo you know any movies from the 80s or early 90s that are only available on VHS?
Any kind (theatrical, TV, horror, drama, action, etc.). I recently dusted off my old VCR and I've bought some VHS tapes that never made it to DVD or Blu-ray and I'm interested in getting more.

Or does it have to be:
An elephant weighs as much as three cars do?
1 AnswerWords & Wordplay8 years agoHow do you calculate the kinetic energy of a falling object?
A 68.0 kg rock is 1.90 m above the water, falling at a speed of 6.10 m/s. Calculate its kinetic energy as it hits the water.
Because of the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy of the rock when it hits the water should be the same as the starting potential energy. So the kinetic energy when the rock hits the water should be equal to (m)(g)(h). Multiplying (68)(9.8)(1.9) gives me 1266.16 J but that isn't the answer in the back of the book. So how would you get the right answer?
4 AnswersPhysics8 years agoHow do you find kinetic force with initial velocity and stopping distance?
I just know the initial speed and the stopping distance:
A hockey puck has an initial speed of 14.1 meters/second and stops after 197.1 meters. Calculate the average value of the coefficent of kinetic friction.
I found out that the acceleration of the puck is about -0.504 m/s/s. That's about all I can think of finding. I know that if I can find the kinetic force I can divide it by (acceleration x -1) to find the mass and then finding the coefficient of friction should be easy with the formula (-ukmg/g) but I how do you find the kinetic force?

For sentences like "I went to the house, whose design was based on those of the 1950s."
1 AnswerWords & Wordplay9 years agoDo you think Stanley Kubrick should have kept Alex North's score for 2001?
I actually think Alex North's music is better than the classical music used in the movie. A lot of people say it sounds nice but it would have made the movie feel more dated. I think it's just because they haven't seen 2001 with North's score and couldn't imagine it without classical music. If Kubrick had used North's music, I think people probably wouldn't be able to imagine it any other way too.
These tracks are really amazing in my opinion:

In the third one, I really like the part that comes after 4:15.
1 AnswerMovies9 years agoWhy do people say Timothy Dalton is the worst James Bond?
I was looking at this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al4Ga...
If you've ever read the Ian Fleming's books, you'd know that Timothy Dalton gave the most accurate performance of the character. Also, Ian Fleming's vision of James Bond's physical appearance was based on an actor named Hoagy Carmichael. Search him up on Google Images and you'll find out Dalton was the closest in terms of appearance. He should at least be considered one of the top three Bond actors.

1 AnswerMovies9 years agoDo you think superhero movies should be campy or serious?
I like the campy ones more. I'd rather watch Superman II or the first Spider-Man movie (which was pretty silly) than The Dark Knight Rises on any given day.
3 AnswersMovies9 years agoWhy doesn't Yahoo let my use a PNG file for a picture?
I have a PNG file that I want to use as my picture but whenever I try to upload it, Yahoo just says
"Sorry, we cannot accept this file format.
Please select a JPG, JPEG, or PNG file."
It IS a PNG file. And it's only 14 KB, while the size limit is 5 MB. And it's not a "bad" picture or anything.
So why does Yahoo keep saying that it can't accept the picture when it should be able to?
