    You know, I always saw the whole "EVERYTHING bursts into flames, including BOOKS" as a sort of running gag in Goldeneye. I mean, a TOY helicopter in one level, from what I recall, is the MOST powerful explosive ever devised. It's not realistic at all though, and it's odd that they keep repeating it. Movies do the same thing though... action movies anyway... Look, I understand that a car that explodes is more action packed than a car that is simply disabled and can't be driven any more, but does EVERYTHING have to have maximum action potential? Just once I really REALLY would like to see a physically accurate movie like that. I want to see if it really is impossible to make a good movie with the contraints of having to obey the laws of physics. Let's just... give that a try, can't we? For example, someone blasted with a shotgun NOT being blown back (imagine the equal and opposite reaction from that, if that were the power level of a shotgun blast your arms would be ripped off, or you'd at least be thrown back yourself), and for example, shooting lasers would not be visible. Now, let me just point something out. I REALLY think you can get a good action packed and suspenseful scene with lasers you can't see in midair. I think it could look COOL. Imagine if you will some red light appearing right by a guy's head,that just burnt some of the ship's hull. Suddenly he's running for cover and you see all sorts of these burn marks appearing all around him (because well, he's the hero and horrible accuracy on the villian's part is still fine). Or, they could hit a steam pipe or some other semi-opaque substance could be sprayed about the room so you can see PART of the laser's path. Oh and, please stop saying "it's an infrared beam" and then immediatly proving it's not infrared, it's RED, by spraying some hairspray on it to SEE it. Do they even know what infrared means?

    Okay, rant mode off.

    Yes, I fully understand the limitations there. But, you know, Link is using the indullible MASTER SWORD. Wood dulling the blade isn't an issue with that.
