Magnetic Bullets

[furtech]

Nothing much happening. The CSI:NY episode featuring magnetic bullets* is on Spike now. ARRRRGH!!!


*The bullets are regular lead .38's. The magnetized gun is within the realm of physical possibility, though nowhere near as powerfully as it was.

Heh, that happens in nearly every film or TV show. Zoom, rotate, refactor, ENHANCE! AHA!

In-fact, I cheer when a film actually makes a point of not doing it. Cop: "Can you zoom in on that area and clear the image up?" Tech:"what the hell do you think this is? Its a crappy image, it aint getting any better!"

There -was- a show that recently did that! I forget which show (NCIS?), but the detective asked the tech to enlarge and enhance and the tech looked at him like he was crazy. The tech may even have given him (later) a glossy print-out...of a gray splotch. The detective asks if that's the best he can do and the tech makes some crack about CSI-type television.
