Rake Arms posted:Maybe the rest of the DNA was used to encode memories and such. Or did they alreay address how she retains her memory? No, it's a film so they don't cover every potential issue. A book might go into it, but a film just doesn't have time unless it's central to the plot. BTW - favorite Fifth Element moment: When Bruce Willis asks "Who is in charge?", then immediately blasts that one...

I think you mean this one, although it should be noted that this interpretation is not necessarily the correct one. This article describes a slightly different (and in my opinion more plausible) set of timelines.

I'm recently getting into 3-d viewing at home, I'm aware that it's nowhere as good as the effect in theaters; but I'm still engaged by it. So far I've seen Coraline and My Bloody Valentine, I loved the former and was rather disappointed by the latter, both as stand-alone movies and as 3-D experiences. I have 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' on the way, just for the 3-D aspect as I wouldn't be seeing it otherwise. Is there anything you guys can suggest as far as more 3-D movies go? Also, I'm finding that the Green/Pink glasses seem to give a better effect than the Red/Blue, but that might be because the last time I've used the Red/Blue were for things like comic books when I was 10. Do home movies still use the Red/Blue or is that a thing of the past?

I was watching yet another Rocky marathon on Spike, and something came to my mind... I never quite understood exactly how Paulie squandered Rocky's money, which ended up sending him back to the ghetto. Can someone enlighten me on this?

I don't know if this is the right place for this but I have a question concerning DVD software. I do a lot of my renting from the public library, which means that a lot of the discs are in not-awesome shape. Half the time I start watching a movie only to have it start to crap out and skip on me. I was wondering if there exists some kind of program that can scan through a DVD and see if it will skip without having to watch the whole thing. I've been burned three times in the past two weeks with movies that I watched an hour of only to find the rest nigh unwatchable - I'd like to be able to prevent that in the future.

It'll fix those about 75% of the time. There is software that will backup a DVD while skipping over unreadable sectors, but I'm not sure if the mods would want me to name it or link to it.

Dinner Dream posted:I have two questions regarding Delicatessen: What were those little cylinders that the two tenants were drilling holes in and checking with a tuning fork? And at the final confrontation scene why does Mademoiselle Plusse give Clapet The Australian? I thought from the dancing scenes among others Mademoiselle Plusse was warming to Louison, was that all fake? What did she have to gain from that if so? Been a while since I saw it. Cos one of my mates has it (Still hasn't watched it either) But I think The tubes are animal calls, being that the people of the world seem to have to do anything they can to find food. And I figured Mademoiselle Plusse gives Clapet The Australian because she has seen it in action, and so knows that it will return to Clapet and take him out rather than Louison.

I just saw Pontypool. It was on an airplane so I missed a bit of exposition. I think I understand the gerneral idea of what was going on but do they ever explain what started the whole mess? Why only English was infected? They say that it's understanding the concept that makes you a zombie, so shouldn't writing or reading be just as bad in any language as hearing it in English. Why do the zombies eventually explode? And did they make everything worse by broadcasting? Was the main guy infected at the end like the military said or was his "cure" working? Maybe I'm looking for too many answers.

Can someone explain the ending to Videodrome? It was on last night and after watching it again I have no clue what's going on with it. Especially the very ending with Max Renn shooting himself in the head. Was it just a trick from Videodrome? Or is he actually supposed to transform from doing it?

"The 4th Floor" with Juliette Lewis. There's a room full of Styrofoam packing, sort of like a quicksand type stall room. I'm trying to remember the name of it. I believe it's a French word...and it's driving me crazy. Also pretty sure it starts with a "P" although not positive about that. EDIT: I think it's "oubliette".

I just saw the "Time Travellers Wife". Apparently the wife keeps having miscarriages because the babies have the genetic time traveling gene, and they " time travel" out of the womb. When Eric Bana time travels he pops up in random places. Does this mean there are a bunch of 3-7 month fetus's appearing out of this air? How long would they survive? What would you do if you were riding the subway and a bloody half formed fetus popped into your lap?

What would you do if you were riding the subway and a bloody half formed fetus popped into your lap? I don't know if it happens in the movie, but in the book the author causes a huge problem by having the time traveler visit himself in the past more than once (he has sex with himself at sixteen, the author has an odd idea of how hormones work for young men). Logically speaking, that would mean that each instance of him would be traveling about - therefore there'd be an infinite number of them visiting his wife and also the ending doesn't matter as he can be replaced.

It's probably my favorite Clint Eastwood movie ever (as a director, not an actor), so yeah, it's loving awesome. It's cool, 'cause it's just as much a horror movie as it is a western, and is the earliest example I know of in that subgenre.

It's not flat out stated, but it talks about how he goes back in time (when he's sixteen to when he's sixteen) and some comment about how they give in to their hormones and then his dad catches them. Dead serious.

I haven't seen it, but I doubt it. I found it kind of insulting as a guy - we're not horny enough as teenagers to gently caress another guy if we're straight, even if the other guy is us. The women I was reading it with seemed to not have issue with it. Oh I forgot, the dude also knows about 9/11 but does nothing to stop it.

As to what they are making it's this thing, a Cow in a Box an old timey novelty toy. As to why I have no idea really, although my guess is that that's just what they did. It's been their job forever and thus were still doing it even though there can't be a market for such a ridiculous and useless thing in that post-apocalyptic(?) world.

I watched Miracle at St. Anna yesterday and while it was generally an overlong mess, there is one part of this overlong mess that I just did not get: why is John Leguizamo in there at all? What does his character add to the movie? Why is it even necessary to see him at all? I know Spike Lee likes to go off on tangents but this is the first time one of his bizarre parentheses seemed to have absolutely no purpose.

In Ace Ventura 2, in the projection room scene when they first sit down Ace's giant head shadow blocks the screen. He then looks embarrassed and does a weird motion with his hand in his mouth. I never got what he was doing, is it supposed to be a gun he's firing off into his mouth? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
