24 The Movie

[El Diablo]

MBE,

That's why Jack Bauer is such a badass.

Word.

Oh yeah, Miracle Mile is another excellent film that substantially takes place in real time.

just a comment on this "real time" thing, used in movies like "time code" and "nick of time" and of course in the show "24": it's not exactly a new concept. in aristotle's "poetics," one of the rules for drama is unity of time: basically, the action of a play should represent the passage of the same amount of time as the play itself.

shakespeare was criticized by his contemporaries for not observing the classical unities (besides time, there's also unity of action and unity of place), so with the last play he ever wrote he did so, kinda like saying, "you don't think i can pull off the unities? watch this," and the result was perhaps his greatest work, and my personal favorite, "the tempest."

anyway, just a note to point out that the real-time concept goes back some 2300 years.

I would totally pay $49.95 to go to a 24-hour 24 movie. Tell me that wouldn't be awesome.

[Villainaire]

That wouldn't be awesome.

Ummm...isn't this basically what "The Sentinel" is, just with a different title.

I just hope they don't have that [censored] awful "BEEP...BEEP...BEEP..." every time they change scenes

if there is a lot of traveling and stuff, then they could show 24 hours in 3 hours by just not showing the traveling on plane parts...in other words, make it more realistic by not allowing people to go 100 miles in a car in 15 mins like on tv

finally, we get to hear Jack Bauer swear.
