Re: Release, Record: 11/9

I thought there were a few unreleased movies, but maybe they didn't reach your high standards. I know during the Twilight 2 recording you guys were saying it'd probably never make the cut.

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

I'm sure there is plenty for a release, just no recording would mean that the buffer continues to shrink.

I always find it amusing when there is a taping that is up the next day, as opposed to those that wait for a few to come out.

Always makes the new week a bit more interesting when there is the puzzle of what new thing will there be to entertain me.

I can't make the live chat for Sucker Punch and Kick-Ass sad

Irrespective of your arguments, Sucker Punch is special like fucking the pretty, retarded girl. She's great fun in bed, does everything you ask, you just have to deal with the guilt and shame afterwards.

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

Quick question: will it be Sucker Punch the extended edition, or the other one ?
- btw: hopefully your team, with all their movie knowhow stuff, will help change my view that the end is one right big downer. sad

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

Hm. Probably extended, I don't think the original cut is on my Blurry.

Is the original cut on the blurry?  roll

It has both. I saw the original and I borrowed your copy to do it.

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

In that case, I'd rather do the theatrical. (The extended one isn't fixed or anything, and it's longer.)

No sir!

I mean, it could happen, but what if one of these four commentaries is awesome? What then? I make no promises.

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

Okay, but that still doesn't fix the plot hole because, as you said, the bomber doesn't die in the train. I'm structuring this argument based on the rules that the movie originally sets up, not the crazy bullshit that it pulls at the end.

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

Now that I've seen it, I agree with Michael and Trey that the only way the ending and much of the rest of the film make any sense is if the machine is more than an 8-minute simulation created from the brains of the dead (whose brains wouldn't be in good shape anyway after being on an train traveling 45 MPH and exploding).

But for that to work thematically, Jake has to SAY, "This machine isn't what you think it is. I can CHANGE the past." Then the scientists need to go, "Tut, tut, brain in a jar," and then privately say "Is there something TO this? We really DON'T know much about Doc Brown's flux capacitor before he died."

Boom. Movie fixed.

EDIT: To clarify, it is a strong rule of storytelling that anything that an authority figure like a scientist says is true unless it's questioned by the protagonist or antagonist. (It's how "the rules" get delivered.)

But in thrillers, where the main theme is usually "all is not as it seems," you need to be able to subvert the authority (who is usually a lying baddie). But any other character questioning the authority is usually the "Guinea pig". He's the guy who says, "You're full of it," walks out and gets eaten by the aliens or zombies or whatever to help prove the authority correct.

Re: Release, Record: 11/9

Ok, so I couldn't make it after all. Gives me podcasts to look foward to smile

I'll probably have to get round to watching Sucker Punch, although I really don't want to big_smile
