Egypt is 1,596 km away from Greece in OUR world. But they’re in a whole new world.
Aaaaahahahaha i must tell you, this brightened my day. Good one
I think they just did some camera trick to cut out most of the travel time and not make the movie longer.
Exactly. They did the same thing in The Lord of the Rings movie. Rivendell is about 300 miles from the Shire. The hobbits leave the Shire at about 40 minutes in, and arrive in Rivendell roughly 35 minutes later. I’m sure they saved time by not stopping for second breakfast, but that would imply traveling 300/35 = 8.6 miles per minute non-stop with their stubby little legs.
Or maybe some people complained the movie was already too long (these people are wrong) and didn’t want to watch hobbits walk 300 miles in real time.
This is it frodo. If i take one more step it will be the farthest from the shire ive ever been
You may already know about this, but there’s an edit of Fellowship of the Ring where Sam says this line every time he takes another step. It makes the movie over 9 hours long.
Haha yeah i was trying to kinda reference that cut as similar to how watching this imaginary movie would feel. I want to link it so others may appreciate the effort too but Youtube DMCAd it.
Oh, no worries. Here is a reuploaded version. Enjoy!
Cool, thanks! That was clutch
If they had snipped it down to just him saying those words instead of the whole exchange the joke would have landed even better.
Now I’m just imagining in every movie or TV show if we had to watch people travel in real time to wherever they were going lol. Sounds painful.
This one would be a great test of just HOW captivating David Tennant’s brilliance is 😄
no fast travel run
So they were singing on that carpet for hours.
Time moves differently during a musical number, anyway. They regularly skip forward to the next scene that can be hours or even days away.
OP has never heard of a montage
That’s the thing where you tie each other up for sexual gratification, right? Like in that Twilight fanfic? 😛
No. It’s the agreement you sign with a bank when buying a house.
No, that’s a morgage. You’re thinking of the short walk between two lakes where you have to carry the canoe.
No, that’s a portage. You’re thinking of a dish consisting of oatmeal or another meal or cereal boiled in water or milk.
No, that’s potage. You’re thinking of a mixture, often of incongruous elements.
years ago, people would go down alleyways
this technique was known as “a walk”
That’s the not-so-fun sexual innuendo.
My banking relationship is non sexual. However, they still manage to fuck me.
and I keep going back for more
The original non binary polygamous relationship
Yes
Wait… If you both tie each other up, how do you you get out?
Do they think movies play in real time? What do they think when there’s a scene change?
The camera is jumping to an alternate reality where events happened just a little bit sooner than in the previous universe, but time is constant across universes.
It can’t be a montage if they are singing, unless we assume they skipped verses or repeated the song. Either way, I can tell you from personal experience that singing the same song for hours at a time does not make a good date
They recorded the singing in post
my guess is that a team of people drew it and none of it actually happened…
OP forgot that the magic flying carpet is magic
And plot armor is the effective heat shield
You would think the issue of staying on it would come before the issue of heat
Also keep in mind that they witnessed the Great Sphinx being carved- time travel was clearly being used.
You’re such a mathematician. Saying something is real because your calculations say its real. Eventhough the evidence that’s right in front of your eyes, clearly shows that they are stil alive and unscathed, they didn’t even appear to have noticed the immense speed that they were traveling.
Clearly this is the work of aliens with a technology so advanced that our smooth brains can’t even comprehend the math necessary to calculate it. So that explains everything, you’re welcome.
Or they’re just about 10 to 20 thousand years in the future which is why Genie can dish out so many 20th century references.
Uh… It’s called a magic carpet for a reason.
It obviously used a protection spell on them.
Early versions of magic carpets kept arriving with charred piles of ash instead of passengers until they figured that one out.
I was going to rip on taking a cartoon too seriously, but then I remembered getting annoyed at superwhy, which is an ABCs show for toddlers. They had an episode where they landed on Saturn, and it was sandy. I had a to give my then 2 year old an impromptu lesson on what a gas giant was and that her favorite show was fucking wrong. I was so irritated that an education show would do that lol.
Just land on a moon of Saturn at that point.
Good parent. You can show her this instead: (mostly accurate) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MM1-lbwNJ3c
Maybe they were just in Vegas the whole time.
I just assume that it was time dilation due to editing. The actual journey was much longer. Don’t think about it too much cause then you’ll start to wonder how long that song actually is, and then you’ll start to question why anyone randomly breaks out into song to begin with, and how everyone seems to know the lyrics despite being complete strangers.
Uhm, and where does he store his shaving utensils on that carpet? Or is he still too young to grow a beard?
You didn’t get the message about 5pm singing practice?
Shhhh, don’t tell Truman!
It’s magic.
A Wizard Did It.
If Neil degrassi Tyson was like this maybe he’d be a bit more tolerable
I like that I wasn’t the only person to think of Tyson.
I dislike that guy so much.
The range on Blink is OP AF.
What game are we playing? I feel like i’ve said this while playing starcraft 2 about the tier 1 protoss ranged units (stalkers?).
Nah, they just did a bunch of takes for the music video.
Slightly bigger problem is that those speeds will also rip the atmosphere a new hole, which means not just vaporised carpet and riders, but the area around them as well as the kinetic and thermal energy from phasing through the air at 6 figure speeds is imposed on the surrounding area.
So many Greek ruins obliterated by a careless musical number.
In The Pick of Destiny they’re 50 miles from Los Angeles when the cops try to pull them over and the song Car Chase City begins.
They arrive in LA less than one minute into the song, making their average speed over 3000 miles per hour.
Given the aerodynamic properties of a Cutlass Supreme, they are both cooked, and countless windows in LA have been shattered by the sonic boom.
