My wife has seen Terminator, and Terminator 2. Multiple times over the course of our 20 year relationship. We tried out the Sarah Connor Chronicles on Hulu on a recommendation, and we're on episode, like, 7 or 8, when suddenly: "Wait a minute, it doesn't make sense! How could Reese be Johns father if John has to send him back in time?" Subtle.

In the context of sci-fi, where anything goes, I think someone (Kyle) or something (the arm/chip) affecting the past then just switches over to the tangent universe, to borrow a phrase from Donnie Darko. Except the Terminator tangent universe doesn't implode after 28 days. Imagine Rupert Buttermilk has a new favorite as of 01:14 on Mar 14, 2023 |

Dark Fate is James Cameron coming back to the franchise iirc and kinda throws out a lot of the implicit stuff post-T2 movies did like having John Connor be basically a destined hero of prophecy rather than just a guy who was in the right place at the right time. That the conflict still happens in a future without John Connor or Skynet, because all the actual ingredients to the powder keg are still there.

oldpainless posted:Going back to T2 and the whole “is Arnold good or bad” the movie drops a subtle hint in the very beginning when Arnold enters the bar and the waitress looks at his no doubt huge cock and nods approvingly. Bad guys don’t get that treatment. I mean you can see it swinging in remastered versions of the terminator and it's hefty

In Pulp Fiction, Butch sneaks back into his apartment to get his watch. Vincent is waiting there for him, but is in the bathroom. Butch rumages around a bit and makes some noise, but Vincent doesn't react until he comes out and sees Butch, who kills him. After leaving, he runs into Marcelus on the street, where he is carrying a box and some to go cups. Marcellus went out to grab some breakfast while they waited for Butch, and Vincent thought that Butch making noise in the apartment was Marcellus coming back!

I never thought about what would otherwise be a huge coincidence that Marcellus Wallace would just be there by Butch's apartment with donuts or whatever. I must have seen that movie in the theater a half-dozen times and another half-dozen time since.

See, I had only put half of this together; I had realized that Marsellus/Marcelus/Ving Rames had been there with Vincent, and was walking back, but I never realized that's why the noise Butch was making didn't tip Vincent off. Nice one.

Jedit posted:I thought that was Vincent's gun, and he put it down before going to the toilet. No, he's right. One of the DVD releases of the movie has a trivia subtitle track that confirms it. Vincent is a pistol guy, the MAC-10 belongs to Marsellus. He presumably left it there because it has a big old suppressor on it and wouldn't really be hideable when he went to get breakfast. Vincent sucks at his job and was carried by Jules, but not that badly.

I didn't mean Marsellus wouldn't have one himself, just that you never see Vincent use anything else and they even mention they don't even have shotguns for the briefcase retrieval job. Since a lot of people miss the Marsellus out for breakfast bit, assuming Vincent brought the MAC-10 and then stupidly left it out is the only thing that otherwise fits though. Vincent is absolutely stupid, just a bit less.

Baron von Eevl posted:Mercury's freezing point is also about -38(either C or F, it's cold enough that it doesn't really matter), so the shot where the solid chunks of metal are melting into liquid would have been tough with mercury. Gallium melts at something like 86F. No, it's -40 where it gets cold enough to not matter if it's C or F. You're thinking of the melting point of mercury, which is -37.9F/--38.9C at standard pressure - looks like to get mercury to be solid at room temperature you'd have to increase pressure to 10kbar, which offers some diifficulty in filming (Source: The Phase Diagrams of the Elements. https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/4010212/). If you want to see some solid mercury there's an embedded video in this: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/90415/watch-liquid-mercury-freeze-solid-and-hammer-rubber-nails

No, they are saying that -38 is close enough in both C and F to not care about the difference. Or rather, at this temperature no-one should give a poo poo which it is. We're not doing chemistry here.
