How far would a plane continue to fly if its wings fell off mid flight? Like based on its altitude, groundspeed, flight path, etc.?

Finally watched this today... If the bare minimum theme for a Batman movie is "will I be entertained for however long I have to sit through this?" then TDKR was completely successful. I haven't followed Batman in print since the mid-90s so I kept wondering if the bits and pieces of characters and plots that didn't make any sense were just slalom flags to keep the current nerds happy while Nolan plays Bat Katamari Damashī.
Scene at the Pit Prison felt like a perfect cliffhanger break point from the 60s-era two-parters. Really wanted a scene where Gotham News Network airs a Bane propaganda video that ends with him growling out in Bane-voice "Will Batman fix his back and escape the Pit Prison of Death? Who has the detonator for the atom bomb? And just who is the mysterious Catwoman? Stay tuned... same bat time, same bat channel!"
A+ thread BTW.

BTW, despite just seeing it a few hours ago, I have already forgotten most of what happened except that I was disappointed that there was no Bat Snake Plissken scene to get into Gotham.
Considering writing a long blog post about how movie urban planning has entered an uncanny valley. Gotham looks so good-but-not-quite-real that it's creepy as hell - I can't imagine anyone living there outside of background extra cannon fodder.

that great critical post about him someone put here, i think from emerson? saying that nolan only wants you to pay attention to one thing at a time, so he leads you by the hand from one scene to the next. doesn't spend any time working in the periphery, both in the script and in the set design.

The 15 minutes of Prometheus that I want to remember are better than the 15 minutes of Batman that I guess maybe I could be bothered to remember.

I don't really know what people were expecting from this movie that they would proclaim it to be terrible; it had pretty much everything I expected, plus Anne Hathaway was awesome

lockout sucked but it was def better than this
you really think ppl went to a batman movie expecting a long mournful movie that took place during the day and featured batman throwing like one punch
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 15:22 (eleven years ago) link
- Batman is as much about gadgets as he is punching and, between the batdarts and the bat hoverplane, he had some fun ones- Bane was a total badass and the way they incorporated bits of his comic book persona into the movie was fantastic- gtfo with this "one punch" nonsense, there were two big fights and countless smaller skirmishes- Anne Hathaway was great, as was JGL- what exactly about the first two Nolan Batman movies made you think this movie would be a nonstop punchstravaganza
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 15:28 (eleven years ago) link
yeah Hathaway really doesn't get enough credit for this movie

I mean, I basically was sold on the movie when Bruce Wayne shot an arrow inches away from Selina Kyle's head, but when she kicked his crutch out from underneath him and slipped out the window it was game over, movie I love you

i abide by the year one rule that the costume should never be worn during the day.
instead bruce should wear an uncle-sam-on-stilts suit.
― bob chipeska (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
seriously, though, i never did see this. did he really wear the costume out in daylight? for shame, nolan. for shame.
― bob chipeska (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 15:35 (eleven years ago) link
cops versus bane's goons was the stupidest thing
― Number None, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 15:36 (eleven years ago) link
^ yes absolutely. either nolan chickened out of showing lines of dead cops, or he really has zero imagination or common sense.
― before and after broscience (goole), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 15:41 (eleven years ago) link
... he showed a ton of dead cops, particularly in the scene with Modine's last stand?
fyi guys, it's apparently easier to pay attention to a movie if you uncross your arms

unarmed men charging bunkered-in dudes with rifles doesn't turn into a big old-west fistfight. it was stupid.

I watched Lockout last night. It was completely brainless but vaguely amusing. Have no idea why Guy Pearce was pretending to be Johnny Depp as the pirate, though.

Lockout was great. So was Ebert's mostly positive review:
I imagine the movie's intended audience will enjoy itself. I enjoyed myself in my own peculiar way. I like to ask myself how real people would feel in a situation like this. If I were sent on Snow's mission, I would be paralyzed by fright most of the time. But then I'm not One Man. I would be dead several times over by the ending of this film. But not to worry. I'm not gonna tell you they parachute to Earth and land in New York City. Nothing like that.

In the comics, Bruce became a paraplegic and was healed telekinetically by his then girlfriend/therapist as a side-effect of her defeating her stepbrother and going insane, regressing back to childhood and ending up institutionalized.
advantage: movie
