White House Down (2013)
Suspension of belief does require at least a little research
Awful movie and cliche writing. I've seen insurance commercials with better writing. Comparing this to Iron Man is comparing apples and oranges, for one knows immediately that Iron Man/Avengers is going to be fantasy before any movie of the series begins. White House Down is simply annoying and filled with ignorance. The final straw was an Air Force One comment about attaining a cruise altitude in 40 seconds... Good luck with that (about 8000 feet-per-minute is THE best rate of climb)... This movie is simply more Hollywood alternate-reality formula, both boring and annoying.
Mud Mountain Haulers (2021)
Annoying narration and overly dramatic
This show has really great subject material but the over-dramatized narration and blatantly incorrect scripting simply kill all the potential interest I might have in this program. It's just the same dramatics and awful, incorrect terminology I see in the heavy-wrecker series. There's so much incorrect information that it misinforms any layman viewer and annoys those of us that have done this kind of work (I drove in the North Dakota oilfield for a few years in the brutal conditions and now transport both oilfield and wind energy pieces, including blades, plus decades of heavy-equipment operation). Why not just drop 75% of the narration and let those featured in the program tell the story in their own words? Even simple science is ignored now ("momentum" is NOT the word used to describe a loaded trailer teetering on a soft road shoulder due to center of gravity... smh). Drop the end-of-the-world voiceover (over a decade in radio here, as well, and it's embarrassing to listen to this) and allow the subject to speak for itself. As it's produced now, it's simply a waste of great subject material.
