Any points Jurrasic Park gets elsewhere for decent representations of technology, it loses for 3D Flight Simulator UNIX Shell.

I was gonna say, once you read about how Ken Kesey thought that mental illness literally did not exist and was just The Man keeping people down for being different it completely changes how you perceive the Chief's scizophrenic ramblings.

In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind when Joel and Clementine meet in the train at the beginning of the movie, Clementine mentions Huckleberry Hound and "My Darling, Clementine," and Joel says that he has no idea what she's talking about.

At the end of the movie at the beach party where Joel and Clementine actually first met, it was Joel who came up with the Huckleberry Hound thing. (So after having their memories erased, Joel forgot about the joke while Clementine remembered it.)

It always kind of bugged me that Ellen Paige's character showed that the 'builder' had almost total conscious control over the dream world, but they never use that to their tactical advantage against the projections. Maybe they're afraid it will make it worse or something, but they should have nearly godlike power dammit.

If they had never seen anything flying, why would they have the word "flight?"

It's also where the term "I got gypped" came from.

Danes sounds kinda nasal when their speaking American/English, it's the same with Viggo Mortensen.

What's with fashionable old dudes in translucent glasses nowadays? Is that a thing in places other than superhero movies?

Okay okay, I'll watch it this weekend.

I mean, I enjoy John Carpenter movies (watched Christine just last night) and I like Kurt Russell. Again, I have no idea why I haven't seen it except I remember reading bad reviews about it back when I still cared what movie critics said about movies.

For whatever reason, I don't usually read movie reviews until after I've seen it. I guess sometimes it helps me make sense of things?

I still miss reading what Roger Ebert has to say. I bet he would've loved Mad Max

To get away from the mystery phrase chat, someone in another thread linked the scene in Indiana Jones where he's teaching a class:

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.

haha what?

Kasdan: I like it if they already had a relationship at one point. Because then you don't have to build it.
Lucas: I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.
Kasdan: And he was forty-two.
Lucas: He hasn't seen her in twelve years. Now she's twenty-two. It's a real strange relationship.
Spielberg: She had better be older than twenty-two.
Lucas: He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve.
Lucas: It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.
Spielberg: And promiscuous. She came onto him.
Lucas: Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he...
Spielberg: She has pictures of him.
Lucas: There would be a picture on the mantle of her, her father, and him. She was madly in love with him at the time and he left her because obviously it wouldn't work out. Now she's twenty-five and she's been living in Nepal since she was eighteen. It's not only that they like each other, it's a very bizarre thing, it puts a whole new perspective on this whole thing. It gives you lots of stuff to play off of between them. Maybe she still likes him. It's something he'd rather forget about and not have come up again. This gives her a lot of ammunition to fight with.
Spielberg: In a way, she could say, "You've made me this hard."

One of the things I've gotten better at as I get older is turning poo poo off. My wife and I have been enjoying The Blacklist because we like James Spader's performance in it, so we decided to check out some of his older stuff.

Secretary got about 25 minutes of our life before we turned it off. What a shitpile that movie is.

I normally agree with this, but I've been telling whoever will listen to me to watch Season 1 of The Leftovers so that they can see Season 2

Professor Shark posted:

Those people were stupid, I wouldn't have believed anyone who told me to watch Season 1 because it got better.

But I'm Professor Shark telling you to watch Season 2 because it's better, and if you don't believe me Google "The Leftovers Season 2 Better" and you'll quickly see that most critics agree and that the change in quality was unexpectedly awesome

To be fair, I always recommend that you power through 1st season of Trailer Park Boys because season 1 is ok, but season 2 is where it gets really good.

But season 1 is only 6 half hour episodes.
