Thanks Brother. I hear what you're saying but I don't know. Time for a rewatch I suppose!

:tpd: I'm with you on this one. I think watching it for a third time will clear it up for me. :)

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

1)Allan Quartermain can never be killed by some fruitcake in a mask and a cape
2)Sean Connery can never be killed by some fruitcake in a mask and a cape
3)Everyone knows that witch doctors can use black magic to raise the dead... but rules 1 and two completely negate the fact that he is actually dead to be raised in the first place.
4)Assuming hell hath frozen over and Allan Quartermain IS actually dead... did the witch doctors black magic work?

Come on guys. Sequel already. Jack@$$es. It's not cool to leave us hangin like this.

The scene was originally in the movie, but pulled out at the last second. ;)

Total Recall - Is Arnold really on Mars with the girl and the atmosphere, or is he back on earth, spending the rest of his life as a vegetable?

With 2001ASO I liked his version. He explains that we evolve each time we discover the black singing rectangle, and at only those points throughout the movie do we ever hear the stone "singing" except for two other times. One is at the intermission while stairing at a black screen, and the other is at the end while going through the light show. The blank movie screen at intermission is actuall the black rectangle turned sideways and the audience (us) is evolving, and half way though the light show it also turns "sideways" to tie in the movie screen as the monument and give us a clue that we are part of the story.

I mean, if they were out of fuel, and just belly landed the plane, how did Otto-pilot take off in the plane again?

More important...did the guy in the cab ever get to where he was going? :r

Yup. The monolith has the exact same dimensions as movie screens did at that time (no idea if the ratios have been changed since the film was created).

What happens to Mr Fredrickson? Does he live on the blimp with the talking dogs, or does he go to the retirement home? Also, does he ever fly back to Paradise Falls and visit his house, or get any of his stuff?

It's the stuff that dreams are made of.


Oh, wait . . . that's a different movie, and one that DOES have an ending. Nevermind.

Not a movie but Twin Peaks left me wanting more. I'd like a movie to tie things up. What about Bob?

I got to look into that. There is a movie, i believe it's a prequel. I thought they made a movie that tied it togehter.




Mullholland Drive...anyone, anyone?

Actually, I read an interview with Tarantino where he said it was delberately kept vague. He also gave a few of his favorite theories that he's heard from fans. Wallace's soul was one, but my favorite was the missing loot from Reservoir Dogs. :tu
