Back To The Future III

I shouldn't even bother with this, but when Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly) goes back to the old west, he meets his ancestors, Mr. & Mrs. Shamus McFly.

The husband is played by Michael J Fox; they look alike because he is the great-great...grandfather of Marty himself.

But the wife is played by Leah Thompson, the same acress who played Marty's mother. Are we to assume based on the striking resemblance that Marty's mother had the same great-great...grandparents as Marty's father?!

They're fun movies, but the coincidences got a bit ridiculous. Not to mention every time a character said something like "I feel as if this might affect my...FUTURE!" and the mysterious music plays.

Napoleon Dynamite. But I'll say this: The stupidity of that movie is brilliant. I didn't know what the plot was or what the hell was going on, but I sure laughed the whole way through it.


The funniest movie ever. I don't understand what you didn't "get" about it, lol

What was I supposed to get? And even if there was a point to the movie, I'd miss it because I was laughing too hard.

I have to watch it first... lol...Sweeny recommended it to me, though. nod


oh haha oops

i wanted to like it really...but at the end i was like whofarted cause there isnt alot of dialog for the first 40 mins


As I understood it, the whole move is a comment on disconnected people and the need for family ties, close bonds, etc.

Help any?

I didn't understand how Padme could even TALK to Anakin after he killed those kids.

If I was her, I'd stay clear away as I could!

These things keep me up at night, seriously.

I loved Vanilla Sky. Once you figure out what's going on you realize what a great movie it is. I saw it a bunch of times and liked it more and more with each viewing.


But the original Abre Les Ojes (Open Your Eyes) kicks its arse, in my opinion.

I don't understand how Padme was running full term preggers with twins, though only looking like 5 months preggers with a singleton, and then has to give birth naturally even though she is dying (surely a space travelling civilisation can offer a dying woman a c-section wacky ) AND the babies looked about 5kg each! (very rare for twins!

Okay, this movie just pissed me off. mad

I didn't get it at all, and a bunch of my friends were like, "oh, you have to watch it at least two or three times, and then, BAM! You get it! David Lynch is a GENIUS!" Fuck that, dude. neutral It confused me the first time, and I'm not trying to feel stupid twice in a row. It's been three years since I saw it and I still haven't had the desire to try it again.


This is how I interpreted Mulholland Drive: Everything before the scene where Rita opens the blue box is fantasy. Everything after is reality. I hope that helps.

I came to the same conclusion nod

2001: A Space Odyssey: Probably one of my two favorite movies of all time.

The Cremaster Cycle: Stream-of-consciousness gender allegory throughout five WAAAAYYYYY avant garde films by Bjork's boyfriend Matthew Barney, a former college football star turned Ralph Lauren model turned performance artist/insane cinematic wunderkind. His movies are visually STUNNING, but the boy must be smoking some Martian cannabis or something. www.cremaster.net

Orlando: A cinematic take on Virginia Woolf's novel of the same name. An otherwise very quaint Elizabethan period piece about an eccentric aristocrat who suddenly, inexplicably wakes up as a woman halfway through the story whofarted ...and continues to live, without raising an eyebrow, through the next five centuries. lol

Easy Rider: My other all-time favorite! It's a pretty straight-forward narrative interspersed with some really senseless dialogue and very throwing montage sequences (are they flashbacks or premonitions???) Anyway, a friend hipped me to watching it again not only as a '60s-era indictment of American culture, but as a sort of not-so-veiled Jesus allegory. omg It blew me away. (Challenge: What does Captain America say to the image of the Virgin Mary in New Orleans? And where is he in the film's final shot??? wink)

Mulholland Drive: Ok, I finally ended up understanding what was happening throughout the movie...but while first watching it, I kept thinking something was going to happen to finally explain just what the hell was actually going on. Nope...lol...but I really liked watching it anyway. nod Figuring it out later made me like it even more.


Okay, this movie just pissed me off. mad

Love that film. I think my explanation of it makes perfect sense.

I've tried to understand the end of Trading Places many times, but I admit I don't fully get it.

What about Grease, when they go flying into the clouds at the end?

Anyone see Grease II? The whole thing was a complete disaster that made no logical sense.
