Probably a stupid question, but in Momento how does the main character know the man he's looking for is named John (or James) G.? Additionally, the person calling him on the phone is Teddy, right?

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?

I feel like a complete moron asking something so vague, but I'm pretty sure the entirety of La Moustache just went completely over my head with a resounding whoosh. It doesn't seem like any possibility would explain the behavior of Agnes, Bruno, the girl by the photo booth, and the existence of the Bali pictures that we see. Am I just overcomplicating a simple case of unreliable narrator (and camera I guess)? I'm fine with ambiguity, but nothing is really clicking for me here.

In After Hours, is there any plausible reason for Marcy having the second-degree burn ointment? She clearly didn't have any burns, but she specifically picks it up when she goes to freshen up in her apartment.

I still don't know what I think about the ending of the Mist, really. I like breaking convention, and I totally respect the fact that they were willing to make the crazy fundamentalist woman in the store completely and totally right, but the ending seemed kind of cheap and black comedy-ish. Because of the ending, I mentally file it right next to Very Bad Things and the Matt Dillon Employee of The Month (not the Dane Cook one).

I left The Perfect Storm early and fell asleep during Alexander, and I haven't really regretted either. I have, however, sat through The Son of the Mask, The Master of Disguise, and a lot of other really goddamn bad movies. I think I've seen about a tenth of that Rottentomatoes list of "worst releases of the decade" in theaters.

In The Box, in the very last scene when the camera zooms in on the window, you see someone approach Walter and stand next to him. Who was that? I thought it was just one of the suits working for the same aliens Steward was, but I have no idea whether that's right or not.

I guess I could understand if the cover were different, or if there were artwork on the back and it was the only way to specify features, but they're almost always completely the same.

I had no idea What's Up, Tiger Lily was disowned, although it makes sense after watching it with some friends a few months ago. Jesus, that was painful to sit through. If you want to go with a classic, Bill Cosby starred/produced/co-wrote Leonard Part 6 and told audiences not to waste their money on it.

Speaking of Short Cuts, I was wondering, are we supposed to believe that Bill and especially the girl who was walking with him decided to cover up seeing Jerry commit murder since the news report at the end said the one fatality was from falling rocks? Maybe I missed something, but I have a hard time seeing that happen.

Is there anywhere I can find who provided the voice of the guy who started the Celebration dance number in Shaolin Soccer's English dub? There seems to be nothing in the credits, imdb, or anything else. It's streaming on netflix and the guy starts talking at 14:19, if anyone wants to give it a shot.

Not sure how Fargo hasn't been mentioned under Coen movies that end on that note, since I think it's the only one besides Burn After Reading to say that. iirc there's a similar monologue at the end talking about how people sure are stupid and life goes on.

Yesterday I saw A Zed and Two Noughts, and as dumb as the question sounds, what was going on with the guy dressed in all black and the woman dressed in all red? Outside of them being involved with the Zoo, I have no idea what they were doing or why they were doing it, and every summary/analysis thing I'm reading online just ignores them.

Yeah, that's the one I was talking about. Ahh! Real Monsters S1 was 1994, Dark Forces was 1995, and Broken Arrow was 1996 - I'm pretty sure the one from 1:45-1:50 on this video is the origin, the description says it's Beethoven's Second (1993) but that doesn't seem right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_818rcC0DA

CopywrightMMXI posted:My question - What book/play/existing property has been adapted to film the most times? Going through IMDB, I see that Les Miserables and The Three Musketeers seems to show up every few years, but it's hard to say which one has been adapted more. A Christmas Carol has also been adapted many times, but a lot of the adaptations are for tv shows. I feel like "the bible" is a cop out answer, that's casting a really wide net - I'd say Zorro or Tarzan probably.

She gets buried after that and then she's suddenly healed up Wasn't the justification that Budd was shooting her with rock salt, which would be blindingly painful in the short-term but wouldn't cause any serious damage (so she'd suffer as much as possible being buried alive)?

Also, is that the most painful thing you can do to someone? In Django he mentioned at the end that the house "negro" hadn't mentioned it as punishment. How cartoonishly did it blow apart? First thought is the guy at like 6:15 here in the origin of O-Ren part of Kill Bill Volume 1.

I was reading this article the other day, and it's been a few years since I've last seen Glengarry Glen Ross, but when Alec Baldwin gives his speech is Roma included in the "First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado, second place is a set of steak knives, third place is you're fired" competition or is he exempt since he's making good sales? I assumed the former and that two people were set to be fired (and it was a foregone conclusion that Roma would win), but the article makes it sound like the latter.
