NJ WEEK 1: Newtonian Films

Well, week 1 was the week of the Oscars.

Newtonian Films

1. GRAMS:Blockbuster Action Movie (trailer) Music

2. TRAILER V/O:From the writer of 'Gravity' comes a tale of unstoppable forces.

3. FX:Train Sounds

4. MARY:Oh God Isaac - the train's out of control, and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

5. ISAAC:(American action hero) Don't give up hope! We just need to apply sufficient force in the opposite direction to the train's movement.

6. MARY:You're not on about that crazy theory of yours again, are you?

7. ISAAC:Trust me, Mary. Force equals mass times acceleration.

8. MARY:You'd better be certain.

9. ISAAC:I'd stake our lives on it.

10. MARY:You are, Isaac. You are...

11. GRAMS:Blockbuster Action Movie Romantic Interlude Music

12. TRAILER V/O:In a universe of mechanical predeterminsm, can two lovers overcome the odds, society and friction?

13. MARY:Oh, Isaac, why do I feel strangely drawn to you?

14. ISAAC:It's not strange - it's just inversely proportional to the square of the distance between us.

15. LIZZY:Get away from him, he's mine. Just like the basis of calculus.

16. ISAAC:Lizzy Leibniz! You're too late, I orbit Mary's sun now.

17. LIZZY:We'll see Isaac, we'll see.

18. TRAILER V/O:From director Peter Jackson, the first part of Newton's Principia Mathematica, "The Principle of the Conservation of Momentum - Part One". Coming Soon - and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

19. END

Liked this a lot (but I am a physicist).
