And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Not so clear as you think, I'd wager. She's not assessing the veracity of the view, rather she's concentrating on the interview until the shocking meteor strike, which given the speed it happens and the startling nature of the scene, might fool someone. It's also possible they had to cycle through multiple people before someone took the bait. You, of course, would never be fooled and would immediately "call BS," cause you're just that observant and attentive.
Hey, write it off to some measure of "take the bait" and a half-ass attempt at humor. No worse than what overpriced movie theatres charge for worse feature film.
Depth perception? How much depth perception do you get looking at a city from what looks like miles away?
I first saw this years ago, when LED screens that size first came out and cost many thousands. Today you can almost get them for a handful of cereal box tops.
Better still: Porta-Potty user in a park emerging into a conference room in progress. The velociraptor coming through the wall headfirst is a classic. The ghost girl in the elevator was even better. The twins in the bathroom window mirror was good too. And the time they replaced the elevator floor with a video screen where the entire floor dropped out, and people were clinging to the handrails, was genius worthy of Hitchcock.
And yes, you never see the misses. Only the ones who fall for the gags hook, line, and sinker. And occasionally pee themselves.
Calling major BS on this. Depth perception gives it away. Even with one eye, head movement would show a flat image.
