[QUOTE=Seven] That movie was based on a true story right? [/QUOTE] Yep. Truly, it was a story. A BAD story, but it was truly a story. At least Kristy was hot throughout, and she never had to take off her glasses to prove it. ---

You know, I hate to call out Judd Nelsons’ credentials as a black hole scientist but if there is a choice between: a) nuking St. Louis and b) not nuking St. Louis don’t you alway have to pick option ‘a’? ---

All of that science is pretty accurate except that St. Louis is in the Central Time Zone so they would have had 4 hours not 3. ---

[QUOTE=Baker] But, but, we have Dopers in St. Louis! Are we sure they are okay? [/QUOTE] Not after watching this movie, no. [QUOTE=adam yax] You know, I hate to call out Judd Nelsons’ credentials as a black hole scientist but if there is a choice between: a) nuking St. Louis and b) not nuking St. Louis don’t you alway have to pick option ‘a’? [/QUOTE] Dude. They (1) made St. Louis look even _more_ lame than it actually is, (2) put it in a movie on _Sci-Fi_, and then (3) sent in _Judd Nelson_. Seriously, how much more damage could a nuke possibly do? ---

[QUOTE=Zebra] All of that science is pretty accurate except that St. Louis is in the Central Time Zone so they would have had 4 hours not 3. [/QUOTE] But what if you’re watching on the west coast? Then they’d only have one hour. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/black-hole-2006-made-for-tv/418148.md?page=1)
