Are you sure it was in English? It sounds a bit like The Exterminating Angel to me.

Don't think there were any donkeys or men with guns inside the church in that scene.

I never really consider the final cut of Brazil as the "director's cut" since Gilliam won over in the end and that was what was released in theatres. There's differences between the American and European cut but they are very slight, and I've never seen the studio edit aired on TV.

According to Cruel Intentions, Ryan Phillipe and Sarah Michelle Gellar were half-siblings, and Ryan Phillipe initially only wanted Reese Witherspoon on the bet that he would be able to sleep with Sarah Michelle Gellar but soon he found true feelings for Reese Witherspoon until Ryan Phillipe died and Reese Witherspoon got her revenge on Sarah Michelle Gellar by handing out copies of the journal that had all the secrets!!

At the beginning of the Departed, it shows Costello and his cronie shooting a man and woman. I assumed it was the father and daughter from the scene before hand, but upon rewatching it, they look completely different.

Does it ever say who they are?

It's supposed to be them, who else would it be? I remember in the Departed thread that people argued incessantly over this.

I just saw Blue Velvet for the first time since I was roughly 12 (long story) and being actually old enough to pay attention to it made me ask myself a few questions. Where exactly does the Ben character fit in? I had thought he was a drug dealer because of what he tosses in Frank's mouth after giving him the Roy Orbison tape. But how exactly is he important? Is the murder Jefferey tells Laura Dern's character about solely so Gordon, her father's partner, be implicated? And also, at the end of the movie, after Jeffrey gets up out of the lawn chair, he walks in to the house and acknowledges two men standing in his backyard. One of these has to be his father, but the other man looks oddly like one of Franks henchmen (the one in the hat that can be clearly seen in the apartment scene) is that him? and if so, why would he be there?

I know this is a Lynch movie, and feel like I should just let it not make sense, but through the viewing I just became too attached and invested to the characters.

Also, the end of Cube: what the gently caress? he just walks out? seriously?
Ben's house is where Isabella Rosselini's son is kept. The other guy at the end is the father of Laura Dern's character (I haven't seen this in a while either).

Isn't that basically exactly what happened with Gabriele Ferzetti in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, or was that just a matter of his accent being so goddamn thick that no one could understand a word he was saying?
They did a ton of dubbing for various European actors in the old Bond movies. It's pretty seamless (a lot more than in Italian movies from what I've seen), you would never know it wasn't Gert Frobe's voice in Goldfinger unless somebody told you.

Also, what was up with all the various unconventional scene transitions in Star Wars? Like the wipe and the closing circle thing? Was it a throw back to the Flash Gordon-type genre, or did George just think they were neat-lookin'?
When watching the prequels it got to the point where during each scene the only thing on my mind was what kind of wipe was coming up next.

Does anyone know the title of a movie about a Redneck guy that trains to be a Ninja. I saw the movie a few years ago and I can not remember the title for the life of me. It was a mockumentary and I believe the main character worked at Taco Bell or something and his goal was to train to be a master Ninja. I think the setting was in Nebraska or something.

Sounds like part of Napoleon Dynamite.

Can someone explain the ending to Videodrome? It was on last night and after watching it again I have no clue what's going on with it. Especially the very ending with Max Renn shooting himself in the head. Was it just a trick from Videodrome? Or is he actually supposed to transform from doing it?

Videodrome isn't the kind of movie that is supposed to have an explanation.

These guys are great, but the rear end in a top hat from the EPA in Ghostbusters is probably my favorite because the idea of the EPA as a villainous entity is so ridiculously 80s.

The EPA were also the villains in the Simpsons movie.

I'm a huge Simpsons nerd but kind of keep my interest relegated to pre-season 10 episodes. So, it should be no surprise I wasn't a huge fan of the movie. The most baffling thing to me, though, was how Arnold Schwarzenegger, and not Rainier Wolfcastle, was the President. Have there been any interviews with any of the Simpsons writers as to why this was the case? The character model is identical, as is the voice, and it's not like the president being Schwarzeneggar was a drawing point to bring people into the movie... so, why change it?
I believe your exact question is answered in one of the commentaries, but the writing and editing of the movie was ridiculous in that they cut out or changed whatever they felt was the slightest bit unnecessary even if it was funny, or didn't get the strongest reaction out of test audiences. In this case they're trying to appeal to the largest audience who may not be entirely familiar with Ranier Wolfcastle, because in theory having Schwarzenegger as president will be funnier than McBain as president.

I think Cache is a great film but I think it's nearly impossible to derive any actual entertainment value from it.

The Ocean films seem like they are just a group of friends partying and when they have the time making a movie, so it is full of in jokes.

That particular scene reaches the point of obnoxiousness, though. There's even a moment where Julia Roberts' character speaks to Julia Roberts the actor over the phone.

And yet, wasn't Part III nominated for Best Picture the year it came out?

On it's own it really isn't a bad movie, it just can't live up to the legacy established by its predecessors so naturally everyone says it's lovely.

Watched Quantum of Solace last night. How in the hell does James Bond make it from Australia to Italy after M cancels his passports and credit cards?

Actually he goes from Austria to Italy. Not too much of a stretch except for assuming that its viewers have a knowledge of European geography.

In Quantum of Solace, there's a scene where Leiter and his partner, Beam, are on a jet negotiating a deal with the villain, Greene. Greene shows the Americans a surveillance photo of Bond, who Leiter pretends not to recognize. Beam figures out who it is and it's made clear that Bond will be at odds with the C.I.A. My question is, why did Leiter even try to cover for Bond, and why did it work? Doesn't the C.I.A. know that Leiter cooperated with Bond at the Casino Royale operation? Bond explicitly made a deal to deliver Le Chiffre to the Americans. Beam should have taken one look at the photo and said "Look Felix, it's your buddy from Montenegro. We might have to take him out."

Did I miss something?

I think you're overthinking it. He's just looking out for his buddy. Although there's that bit later on where Beam asks Leiter "what did you tell him" and Leiter says "just what we agreed" and I'm not sure what context that was in.
