Most people forget about the very end of 12 Monkeys.
They sent the main lady scientist back to contain the spread.
huh, what? no
is this in some special extended cut I haven't seen?
also that doesn't make sense
I think it's just Weaver either misinterpreting the ending or forgetting how it plays out, or both.
Oh OK, weird, I just did a search, and apparently the lady scientist from the future was on the plane? I totally missed that.
Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
Someone dig up that Neil deGrasse Tyson blog post where he outlines a sci-fi movie script of his where the killer asteroid is detected ninety years before impact and the rest of the movie is crippling tedium and every-day banality. It was really hilarious but also had some great science but googling it gives you far too broad a set of results.
Tyson is so great. He's so fun to listen to.
She says to him, "I'm an insurance."
She says she's in insurance, I took it as dramatic irony
also I assumed bruce's character got the sample in his body, which was returned to the future, which was why he was given the gun (so he would come back dead)
I've seen this movie perhaps fifteen times, and every time I see something I didn't notice before
but I had never noticed this, even when I saw it like three days ago, so now I have to go back and check the footage
but I think it's important to remember that the film opens with a quote from a real patient in a mental institution
the whole film is about a guy who has gone completely nutso and the lengths that the human mind can go to rationalize fantasy
although you can tell it's a pre-9/11 film
how long do you think it would take, today, to ground every plane flying over the US if there was a shootout in a terminal?
Twenty minutes?
Thirty?
There's certainly not going to be anyone taking off from that airport for the next several hours.
you're talking to an expert retconner
give me five mins
She's got three reality splits in the movie. Which one was the bad dream?
Yeah that movie was pretty awful
-barbed wire penis
-freaky as fuck ash children
-disturbing imagery
-it had sean bean
-air raid siren/rust peeling up to the "dark" world
-pyramid head skins a woman
things silent hill did not do well:
-making much sense
-having enough sean bean
-ending decently

There is a specific reason for this though
The huge skyscraper in Mirror's Edge was also called the Shard.
DICE is European, so maybe they made an intentional reference?
NASA finds planet in the goldilocks zone.
yeah but in this movie, he was the only one who didn't.
I hate to be a downer here, but what feasible way do we have to get there? We haven't been to the moon since the 70s, how are we going to go to a whole 'nother star?
we're gonna use
we can

*Shrug* Look, I was going to go with Drake Equation, but I wanted to avoid ACSIS going stark raving Giorgio Tsoukalos on us.
I am betting on someone inventing warp engines soon.
I give it 20 years.
