Read "The Fermata" by Nicholson Baker. Great book about this kind of scenario.

Yea you don't want your account blocked so better keep some to yourself. Are there any good films that deal with the subject? i remember watching a trailer for a film where time slowed down for people, and i once watched a cool X-files where people could move as fast as they wanted that was good a bit diffrent though.

I would make my way into a TV station and put replace whatever was showing with an episode of "Dream On" - a quality show from the 80s.

Maybe I would reverse the direction of electricity or make a black hole on the way. Not sure how, but I am sure that feckinng about with the space-time continuum would do that sort of thing.

A black hole AND Dream On - ahhh happiness.
Wasn't 'Dream on' from the ninties?

I liked that show, always had a good nude scene when the rather middle-aged publisher would score with some knock-out (hence its title). Worked rather well for a pubescent boy.

BTY - anyone remember that show where that young girl could stop time by touching her two index fingers together? she could unfreeze anybody she wanted by touching them. Its a real old show, maybe on for a couple seasons back in the 80's
I'd go into the street and turn people around 180 degrees.

If I was feeling sadistic, I'd syphon all the water out of my local swimming pool.

theres a lot of sadistic and purely evil stuff you could do. I was thinking of the more fun and gratifying stuff

I remember an episode of "Outer Limits" (forget the name of the episode, natch) where a test pilot crashed in the desert, and somehow time was stopped (he later figured out it was just going *very* slowly) and most of his efforts centered around somehow saving a little girl on a tricycle who was about to pull into the path of a huge truck. It was one of my favorite episodes.

I think there was a bid time difference in "Contact." When Jodie Foster went to the other planet it was like 2 seconds on earth but years for her

'Somehow' saving the little girl? Surely if time was stopped (or even just going so slowly that it made no difference), this should have been an easy task?

i believe he said time was going very slowly, making time a factor in his efforts

Of course if you take the case literally, if time froze for everyone but
you, the rest of the universe would stop also. It would mean
everything and everybody would be as if they weighed a million tons.
You couldn'g move them or anything and you couldn't eat or drink
because all that stuff would be frozen, unable to move, so you have
to introduce some kindly factor in order to survive.

Allright allright, we'll do it Dark City [movie] style then, when everyone suddenly falls asleep and wakes up after your naughtyness without any notice what happened and immediately getting back to their business.

Yes, sonhouse is correct... I forgot to mention that he couldn't act directly on anything to change its movement. Like Sonhouse said, time was moving, albeit very slowly, and he couldn't affect that movement in any way (cosmic inertia, I guess). Stuff that was truly immobile, I think, could be moved. All I remember is that he tied a rope (or something similar) to the truck's handbrake and somehow attached it to the truck's axle (or wheel) so that when the truck moved forward, it pulled the handbrake and stopped the truck.
