GrandpaPants posted:He got infected offscreen when he was locked in that shack. You can see a noose in the background of one of his later appearances. It's very possible that he was infected before they locked him up. The movie establishes the theory that there is a quick way to get infected - the Thing absorbs you and spits out a copy like Bennings - and a slower method where Thing cells slowly overtake you one cell at a time. That's why they prepared their own meals, to keep an imitation from sprinkling their food with invisible Thing cells. With that in mind, watch Brimley dissecting the burnt-but-not-dead Thing recovered from the Norwegian camp. In addition to using utterly inadequate rubber gloves, and if I recall correctly is even shown chewing on the pencil he was using to poke around it. It's entirely possible he was infected but not overtaken upon being locked in, which explains why he tied the noose but never hung himself with it.

Crowetron posted:The first Mortal Kombat movie owns, though? Yeah, it's one of the very few actually good video game adaptions. It takes a few recognisable elements from the games but doesn't get too far into arcane bullshit that only players would care about. Then it gets the plot out of the way quickly and goes right to what everybody actually cares about, weird people beating each other up in interesting locales, with surprisingly good choreography, too. Also features Christoper Lambert in probably one of his best roles

I think the guy playing Liu Kang broke some ribs in the Reptile fight when he got slammed into that post.

It's always been Berenstain, early childhood educators who've been around the books for decades can tell you that. It's just commonly misremembered because there's a gap between the age when kids care about Berenstain Bears and the age when kids know poo poo about spelling. By the time it comes up for people again they're used to seeing -stein at the end of names and don't remember the original spelling from when they were semi-literate preschoolers.

Eclipse12 posted:Mad Max: Fury Road Spoilers to be safe, though it's out on all the various formats now so you have no excuse not to see it. In the new Mad Max game, they outright state that you're basically correct. One of the map areas is a salt flat with a beached ship as an ally stronghold for you to visit/get quests. The 'Great Nothing", which is past the boundaries of the game map, is implied to be endless miles of salt. The game does the movie so much justice in terms of padding the backstory, it's made me a bigger fan of the movie, and when was the last time you heard someone say that about a movie tie-in game?

Exactly, I'd put it more towards false memory and misquoting rather than the clip being wrong, since it's the only place I've legit heard the phrase.

I thought it was from the Zybourne Clock for a long time. I think that what actually happened is that similar phrases kind of worked their way into the cultural consciousness and all got misquoted and mixed together. I just think that saying its from that Burke's Law episode is a little misleading since most of the people probably haven't seen it and so aren't remembering that.

To get away from the mystery phrase chat, someone in another thread linked the scene in Indiana Jones where he's teaching a class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmkJ0lrCpLQ I don't think I noticed before but while never get a wide shot of the entire classroom to emphasise this, it becomes clear by the end of the scene that the class is like 90% young girls. It's a good little joke that builds on the rest of the scene.

The first class shot establishes that there's a lot of young girls there without actually showing the entire classroom, but it isn't until the entire class files past him at the end of the scene that there's only like three guys taking his class. Maybe it's pedantic, but they came across as two separate jokes to me, not that it really matters

George Lucas also always wanted to have incest in Star Wars. Originally, he wanted the proto-luke and proto-leia to know they were related, but still get romantically involved anyways. I can't remember if they were supposed to be cousins or half-siblings.
