I must admit, I do worry a bit about "Hollywood films" attempting to mimic real events, which generally involve a considerable amount of additional footage and fancy computer graphics, which has little or nothing to do with the real event, just to complete the total showing time of the film for the Cinema, etc, audience.

Unfortunately, even "Documentaries" often go over the top in their filming, and graphical representation, and editing of real events.

Its very rare to be presented with accurate, truthful information, nowadays.

We shall see.... ;) ...!

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

You are so wright!! I remember when NatGeo, Animal Planet, History channel & ALL others, used the real footage of the era depicted, or animals were left alone to be spontaneous. Now, everything is about inserting them with tracking devices, maping graphics of migrations that after a while the whole species in question dissapears, or fake computer effects (by people that have no idea of what controlling an aircraft is about!!).. very very SAD!! The best in times past were the BBC documentaries: not available in México any more. Me, I like sailing competitions or races. In México, the only available sport is SOCCER FÚTBOL or American futbol. In automobiles, the F-1 races and Indy racing (NO TopGear!!). Satellite TV were I can see old films, now in the rainy season with lightning storms, allow a 5 minutes transmission for half an hour of "looking for the Satellite Dish" and a comercial "this is normal". I have optical wire for my Broadband Conection and now I can see again BBC and movies & etc!! with better quality than the Satellite transmission, storms or no storms (except when the electricity goes Kaput) NO COMERCIALS no ads & no interruptions. Not saying that older times were better, no: NOT AT ALL!! <<q Now is Internet times.. Satellite is going, going.. GONE!! :o

What really galls me, are the various TV; "Documentaries", describing space, etc, with all the fancy computer generated graphics, which gullible folks are easily fooled into thinking that its real!

I find it so annoying, 'cos the world is full of very gullible people.
