Liberator: the BATTLE is CG -- ie when they're actually shooting and dying and whatnot those are all CG characters -- they actually made a 1/4 scale model of helms deep too

at one point they had made the simulation characters too smart and they'd retreat, but i think that was in the battle of the pelennor fields

Carl · **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2004, 01:02:22 am

it wasn't all CG.

Liberator: in reference to the battle - go back and learn english

Carl: the only thing that was real in it was the 1/4 scale model

IIRC all the stuff with the actors was blue screen work

Carl · **Reply #25 on:** April 06, 2004, 01:05:11 am

what about when they had the actors?

Wow, out of touch almost seems inadequate.

Ah, the good old idiocy of (some of) my countrymen........ actually, if you've ever 'seen the tabloids over here, you'd be amazed the survey results were that 'good'.

I think there was a definate element of people taking the piss here. What other explaination can there be for one in ten people thinking that Hitler was fictional?

i dunno. Maybe they were asking Trisha guests?

Looking at it again it can't just be people taking the mickey though. There are too many low percentages for things that anyone taking the mickey would have said yes to.

You could be right Aldo

I remember seeing as similar one about america and it found that 25% of Americans asked couldn't find Washington DC on a blacked out map of America.

Even more scary was the fact that 10% could find America on a map of the world

Bobboau · **Reply #35 on:** April 06, 2004, 09:43:26 am

"were on this map is America"
"yes"

Two people on the estate opposite mine were on Trisha. I can't say I'm suprised, they should do a Trisha special at the NEC, fill the entire place with chavvies and then nuke it.

Fair justice will have been done.

Also, if someone asked me any of those questions I would have taken the piss to an extreme degree. "Hitler, wasn't that the sausage dog guy?"

Kazan · **Reply #37 on:** April 06, 2004, 12:03:25 pm

who or what is "Trisha"

Things like that piss me off more. Granted, it was a decent movie, the fact that they try to pass it off as history greatly annoys me...

Annoys me too. I even heard a rumour that the yanks were making a film in which they won the Battle of Britain

@Kazan: Some crappy English chat show host who actually lives only ten miles away from me.
