OK, I wasn't going to say anything 'cause I didn't see any messages about this
lately - until today. So I might as well voice my pet peeve: *why* are they
zooming along in a helicopter trying to reach the cave before it's sealed off
("Close the blast doors! Close the blast doors!"), and then in the next scene
they're bouncing along in a jeep? Like why didn't they just fly right up to the
door? (I know - then they couldn't have crashed through the gates). And
when the kid is breaking out of his Touch-Tone (TM of you-know-who) jail, as
long as he had the access plate off, why didn't he just short the door-opening
relay or whatever mechanism? I mean recording the tones was just too much.
Whoever saw the sign about the dogs must have been sitting in the front row
with a good deblurring algorithm. Speaking of WOPR's, did anyone notice the
name on the bag of the burger the General was eating? Burger King. Oh well,
I probably would have wasted those 4 bucks on something else anyway. My
favorite part - at the end when Merle Jeeter tousles our hero's hair, and then he
does the same back to him. Do they really give tours of the War Room?
