I still can't get past the idea of flying around 2000 year old airplanes past my brain... Of course, the book handles it in a much more sensible way... As for whether or not people walk out of a theatre in real life? I've been to movies where you have a few people bugger off and leave... Then I went to see The Thin Red Line- mentioned above. I was one of only 6 people left (everyone else left, including the people I cam with) who was like 'there HAS to be an ending to this movie'. Dear Bob what a bad film....
