Obviously they changed the timeline without knowing it and that stuff was invented earlier.

That's actually covered in the Back to the Future expanded universe novel "Rocking Through the Ages," where it's revealed that Doc Brown is a part-time sound engineer (hence the giant stack of amps in his house at the start of the first movie). In the book, Marty travels back in time to 1955 again to make sure that Bo Diddley successfully has his television debut on Ed Sullivan's show, and we find out that Doc had manufactured the guitar and amps for the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, as well as Bo Diddley's TV performance, and as such they were significantly ahead of their time. It's pretty fortunate the EU writers were able to step in and correct that sort of blunder.

In the Telltale game Marty also inspires Doc to become a scientist earlier than he normally did so even if he just made that up there's some indirect reasoning.

I made it up after making sure there weren't actually any Back to the Future expanded universe novels, as that would have made the whole thing a little too sad. I did find out, though, that there were book adaptations of the movies, whose author or publisher apparently found the movies a little too risque, swapping out all the mild profanity ("horseshit") for even milder euphemisms ("horse droppings").

The Telltale game, episode 1 at least, has no swearing either except once. Characters will go "Shiiiiiiiiiiiii" but get cut off. The once is the 88 miles per hour line, so they clearly know what they're doing. vvv It takes place after the third movie actually. Just that episode 1 starts with the parking lot/Einstein time travel scene. vvv Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Mar 28, 2011 |

I watched Shallow Hal for the first time in about seven years, and I feel as if these two questions will be the simplest answer, but I'll give it a shot. 1.) Why did Hal see Rosemary's "ex" and the Hawaiian dude as two handsome guys when they were unattractive like Rosemary? I thought Tony Robbin's hypnotherapy only worked with women as evident both with the trigger phase, "Shallow Hal wants a gal" and the little girl in the hospital? 2.) Why did Rosemary see the bitchy old nurse as a hot woman when they were talking alone in Hal's Jeep? EDIT: According to Google, the second question is because the old nurse was strict with Hal the first time they met, so he saw her as a crochety old woman when she was really the purty woman in the Jeep in real life. I don't buy it because up to the point, Hal never even knew who she was nor had any interaction with her, so how could he automatically envision her as the old nurse because she had strict manners? Again with the questions and I think I've gone cross-eyed. I still don't get the first question, though. You Are A Werewolf fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Mar 28, 2011 |

I think this is a genuine plot hole. If Hal sees everyone's inner self, not just women, then surely Jason Alexander's character should have looked different. quote:2.) Why did Rosemary see the bitchy old nurse as a hot woman when they were talking alone in Hal's Jeep? Because obviously the "hot woman" is her real apperance, which is why the guy with spina bifida is dating her in the first place. The scene with her and Rosemary talking in the car is supposed to be the reveal that she's actually a hot woman. Hal seeing women's "real selves" has nothing to do with how much he knows about them, it's an instantaneous process. Recall the earlier scene where he's dancing with what he thinks are attractive women at the dance club. He doesn't know anything about them either, and yet he sees them as attractive. Not to mention that Hal sees Rosemary herself as attractive before he knows anything about her. Binowru fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Mar 28, 2011 |

I would also think Hal would see the guy with spina bifida as a normal dude since he was a genuinely good-natured nice guy, despite his disability. quote:Because obviously the "hot woman" is her real apperance, which is why the guy with spina bifida is dating her in the first place. The scene with her and Rosemary talking in the car is supposed to be the reveal that she's actually a hot woman. Yeah, I get the reveal in the Jeep that she's really a hot woman, but I figured if she really was the old woman, the spina bifida guy would be dating her regardless due to his outward appearance, disability and settling for her or nothing. The movie is about inner beauty over appearance, but I think it asks the question, "who would date a guy with a crippling disability in real life?", but the hot nurse that's dating him just goes to show not everyone is shallow, thus, the moral of the story. I also want to throw out that Joe Viterelli playing an Irishman was both a mindfuck and hilarious.

A valid question, but I think the Farrelly track record would show that jokes come first regardless. It's really a terrible movie and I have no idea why anyone enjoys it, though.

Yes, it is a comedy, at least in theory. It seemed like the film wanted it both ways. With that said, I just looked at the Farrelly Brothers directing credits, and man, what a depressing career trajectory.

Its funny how the Farrelly bros directing a movie used to be one of its selling points but in all the advertising for their latest movie I don't think it mentioned them once by name. Instead it just used the more vague "from the directors of There's Something About Mary."

Does anyone know the exact play by play of the basement shootout in Inglorious Basterds? I have just rewatched the movie twice in the past 2 days thanks to showtime playing it endlessly and I kept trying to pay attention what I've got: - Stiglitz shoots Hellstrom in his nazi balls - Hellstrom shoots Hicox and von Hammersmark - Hicox shoots Hellstrom in his nazi balls - Wicki gets up and shoots one of the private's friends - Stiglitz stabs Hellstrom in the neck and head - Female SGT shoots Stiglitz - A bunch of poo poo that doesn't make sense, including I think the bartender shooting Wicki but isn't he a good guy? - Wicki shoots a lot of the other dudes - Private whats his face guns down Wicki and Waitress with Mp40

I have another Inglorious Basterds question sort of. When Landa goes to investigate the bar massacre, he pretty easily recognizes Stiglitz. In theory then, wouldn't he have recognized him just as quickly at the premiere of the movie, along with maybe some other officials? I suppose it was probably better for the Americans then that Aldo and the other two actually ended up going.

I've only seen The Good The Bad and The Ugly out of the Dollars trilogy. But is there supposed to be continuity between the movies? Do they take place in the same universe?

Not really, Lee Van Cleef is in TGTBATU as Angel Eyes and then he is in For a Few Dollars More as someone else. I guess Blondie is supposed to be the same character in all three but that's not ever said.

Also Gian Maria Volonte is in Fistful as the villain Ramon Rojo and in For a Few Dollars more as the villain El Indio. And Mario Brega plays a heavy in all three (and dies in each). The only hint at continuity is that Eastwood's character wears the same clothes in all three, and the sewn-up holes from the first movie are visible if you look closely enough. But seeing as in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly he finds those clothes in another man's possession, when he had them in the first two, I don't think they're really intended to be related at all except stylistically.

DrVenkman posted:Isn't he 'technically' given names in all 3 films, despite the 'Man with no Name' moniker? Ehhhhh, yes and no, but not really. One character calls him "Joe" three or four times in the first movie, but he never introduces himself that way and it's only that one guy, so it comes across as the equivalent of calling a stranger "Mack." In the second he's referred to a few times as "Monco," which is slang for "one-armed" in Italian, and he tends to only use one hand when he's fighting. In the third Tuco calls him "Blondie" throughout the whole film, but once again it's only used by one character and it's clearly a nickname. So he never gets a name, per se, but he's given various nicknames.

According to one of the documentaries on the blu ray box set Leone always imagined him as three different characters, but I don't think it matters either way. I look at him as an archetype in a fairy tale since Leone always wanted to make "fairy tales for grown ups."

I was going to post that at first, but as I recall Bridget von Hammersmark was already acquainted with Landa before the premier. That doesn't necessarily mean she knew he would be there, but it seems like she might have inferred. As for The Man With No Name, there is some continuity. Near the end The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, Blondie trades his duster for dead man's poncho. The poncho gets shot through in A Fistful of Dollars, and you can see where it's been mended in For a Few Dollars More. I think he also wears some kind of hand brace in FaFDM because the bad guys stomped on is in AFFoD.
