I thought the dark knight looked sweet in blu and as far as how EE affected it... not sure I'd know EE even if Heath Ledger himself asked "arrrre you serious?" and pointed it out to me.

I think now I have surely been sold on Gladiator. If it is on the quality level of Dark Knight or above...that's cool with me.

Ignorance is bliss. Something I live by in very few areas of my life. But this is one of them.

Now, when a flaming arrow is flying at a high velocity away from you and it's starting point is..ehh...over a 100 yds away.... things will happen.

(1) The arrow will get lost in the brown background of the woods.
(2) More importantly, the "flame" of the flaming arrow is what's making the arrows so visible in the first place. From one frame to the next is all it takes for that flame to be flickering in the wind as it fly's at whatever speed an arrow flies at.

Think about the accuracy of the subject you are basing your opinions on...

an arrow (maybe 1/2 inch thick)
over 100 yds away
flying at arrow speeds
flying away from you
with an unfavorable background
on two very very close caps (but not identical)
and even if the caps were...it's an arrow...

Please repeat until this has sunk in.


First you say ignorance is bliss and now you're arguing physics and ballistics?

Either you don't want to know, or you do. Choose one.
