Monty Python's The Meaning of Life was on last night and it reminded me of something... At the end of the movie, Graham Chapman is singing "Christmas in Heaven" and he's dressed up to look like someone, but I have no idea who he was supposed to be.

Yeah, it's really more of a pastiche to that general style. Also, am I alone in thinking that The Meaning Of Life is the best Python film? The humor is so wonderfully, uncompromisingly cruel.

I know [REC] (and I guess Quarantine) takes place inside one building, but the protagonists aren't so much containing it as trying to survive. How big a building are we talking about?

The humor is so wonderfully, uncompromisingly cruel. No way. I love Meaning of Life to death. As far as I'm concerned, it's the closest they ever came to recapturing the magical oddness of the TV series. Musical comedy doesn't get much better than "Every Sperm Is Sacred".

So I just got done watching Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and I think I got most of the confusing parts but one thing is still bugging me. I know the girlfriend made contact with the organ dealers so the boyfriend could get his revenge, but when he busts in there is a girl on the table getting 'operated on'. Did the girlfriend really go that far to help him? I know the movies are dark but that seems excessive. It's confusing because that scene is also spliced in with the interrogation scene with the girlfriend and the dad so I am not sure.

poo poo, I think I just had the major twist of Moon ruined for me. Clone or...he meets himself, I think. Some oddness like that. If that's it...would it still be worth making plans to see it later? I tend to get to a lot of movies much later after their release dates, and Moon was on my list after all of the talk I'd seen about it among the cinema goons.

You should still see it. I've had plenty of movies ruined for me over the years, but that doesn't stop me from seeing them if it's something I've wanted to see. There's still plenty of other stuff going on in a movie that makes it worthwhile.

I probably will see it, I just feel kind of cheated, I suppose (and then my knee-jerk reaction is to be pissed). Don't worry there's A LOT more to that movie. The reveal is actually really, really earlier in the film--much earlier than I expected. Do yourself a favour and see it.

My friends and I were watching A Knight's Tale last week for some reason, and we were trying to think of other period pieces where contemporary music was used. I don't possess anything near the film knowledge that the posters here do, what are the more famous examples of this happening?

There's a scene in Black Knight that uses contemporary music similarly to A Knight's Tale, and it came out the same year.

Speaking of spoilers, I had Black Swan somewhat spoiled for me, I think. I'm not sure though: I'd been waiting for this movie to come out quite some time, very excited, but before I had a chance to see it, a friend of mine - who had seen it - told me that the protagonist was delusional/had a split personality and that Nina wasn't real. I was really, really annoyed with being told this, but my friend claimed that you were supposed to know before seeing the movie. I don't recall hearing about that in the trailer though, so what, did I have the movie spoiled for me or was I supposed to know?

Didn't hurt my experience much, same as for Moon. But then again I was high as a kite while watching Black Swan. Wait, that was Bal/Honey. Still, knowing about that part of Black Swan didn't hurt much. Just try not to think too much about it.

Whether or not it's the twist you make it out to be or the basic premise your friend made it out to be, he spoiled it for you in the way someone could spoil the last shot of Inception. Go see it for yourself and make your own conclusions. Also, there's so, so much more to enjoying Black Swan than that.

Because it doesn't make any sense. Black Swan is still totally worth seeing though, even if it was pseudo-spoiled for you.

Yes see it and then answer me this: At what point is the clone played by Robin Chalk. I thought that it was all Sam Rockwell with split screens, and finding out Robin CHalk was in a lot of the movie made me confused as to which is which.

I've seen the Black Swan already, you wouldn't be spoiling anything to me. I was disappointed to have been told before anyway, whether it's a big twist or not, because it was always on my mind.
