@@justinbrown3053 Post Episode 6. The kinder/gentler Ewoks. Which is ironic as those movies took place prior to the events in Return of the Jedi so they wouldn't be the kinder/gentler Ewoks. But it was either that or try to explain how the family is still stranded with a least one Imperial facility and a graveyard of equipment within walking distance of the Ewok habitat.
There was the family, and Wilford Brimley that landed there before the Empire. Mom, dad, and the son were killed in the second movie, so they had access to clothes. Maybe they ate them afterwards, but they would have had to fight pirates to do that.
Jack saving Rose’s life by preventing her suicide likely doomed the ship to collide with the ice burg. Consider: her jumping off the ship would have led to a “man overboard alarm”, this in turn would have caused the Titanic to stop and attempt rescue. Whether the rescue is successful or not, this would have meant that Titanic would not collied with that ice burg.
The jumanji one actually sounds like a good deal. If I could suddenly be 12 again, bringing with me everything I already know now at 50, and start over there in 1983, I would do it.
I thought about the Titanic one on the same day I saw the movie back in 97. Rose gets married, shares her life with this man, has kids and grandkids and on her death bed she doesn't think about any of the people she shared the last 80 years with, she thinks about the guy she shagged in the back of a car on a boat on night in 1912. The romantic story in that movie was the old couple going to sleep in bed together while the ship was sinking.
And, you do know that the old couple is based on real people? Isidor and Ida Strauss. She refused to get into a lifeboat without him. She gave her spot to her lady’s maid, along with her fur coat.
Every kid who survives an action, adventure or disaster movie is going to need intense therapy for their massive trauma. The lone survivor of every horror movie is going to be blamed for the murders.
Every kid who survives a horror scenario too, like imagine being in a vampire attack or a zombie apocalypse or an alien invasion. Or even surviving an attack during the purge.
Plus you'd be able to invest your time better. Make a killing sports betting, maybe. Prepare for known disasters better. The real crap would begin when you didn't have a road map on what to expect anymore.
It's still a careful-what-you-wish-for situation. Even immortal characters tend to wish they'd stayed mortal. Not that I wouldn't take certain metaphysical deals. I get to relive my upbringing from somewhere in the single digits? Seems like the pros outweigh the cons. Just damn well better be expecting the unexpected, too...
I had a lot of this kind of conversations during my philosophy classes. It's an awesome and entertaining mental exercise to see how people around you perceive time and space. The most shared opinion from my peers was that this could leave to another kind of trauma, and could potentially hind your mental health as well: let's assume you go back from 45 to 12 years old, of course you will be less likely to be childish, stop being spoiled, your analitic thinking would be more keen, but people around you, especially your parents, would notice the sudden change in your behaviour and fear some kind of mental or physical illness has occurred to you [some brain tumors are known to bring heavy changes in behaviour, just to name one] Then again, knowing most if not all the good and bad things that happened in your life and putting a correction course on them will for sure bring your life on a better way, but could also bring some mental confusion when you live again a moment but since you changed the outcome your mind would be "split in half", one part re-living the original timeline and the other one processing the new timeline. Not to mention the implications of the butterfly effect, just taking another road to go home or going out in a different time from the first timeline can change everything. The underlines of the world will remain as you remember, but your daily life will change more and more from what you remember in an exponential way the longer you relive your early years.
So believing that a rat could live longer in the Pixar universe is a huge reach but believing that the same rat can talk while also being a culinary genius is totally reasonable
I think the Jumanji ending is probably the most optimistic. Based on the simple fact is that you have to remember both Alan and Sarah had trauma from that 30 years. When getting those 30 years back they can also fix their missteps and learn from passing stakes. The emotional intelligence that they have in their younger years now will guide them into a better future Also they already know who each other are which could give it them a better foundation for their relationship with their marriage all the way through to their later adult years in the new timeline.
Thank you! I totally agree and was going to make my own comment thread but I saw yours. Most of the stress after trauma comes from the fact that you can’t change anything and the fact that you have to accept it. They get to start fresh and even tho they experienced it, the trauma never happens. They literally get to do it over as if it never happened. They get to make a new life and make it however they want. Also imagine the money they could make. Just invest in Apple or Microsoft. Or make bets on games you knew the outcome of. I’m sure Sarah read a lot as she was hurt from Alan’s death. Then the advanced intelligence they must have. Well at least Sarah. I doubt Alan went to school in Jumanji. However I doubt he’s be afraid of life. He’d love to it’s fullest.
Problem is they are not kids mentally or experience wise. The other problem is all of that experience is now locked up in two less than fully developed brains so who knows what type of mental trauma would ensue as a result. The brain is not fully developed until around 20 years old with the higher functions such as empathy developing last. Children for all intent and purpose are in fact sociopaths as they do not understand empathy nor have any true capacity for it. Just imagine having 30 more years of life experiences, locked in a child's body and a brain with the physical development of a sociopath.
My disturbing implication from the end of Fury Road was that they were still running out of water. Giving water to the people sounds nice and all, but ultimately the issue was that there wasn't enough and there were no additional sources in the area.
Well for Ratatouille I’ll say Rats don’t cook, talk or create recipes so aren’t we already suspending our beliefs and the idea that rats have a lifespan of 2-5 years is moot.
The disturbing part about Ratatouille is that the restaurant would get shut down for allowing rodents to run about in the kitchen interacting with food.
THANK YOU!!! This was exactly my thought: "Rats might live longer in the Pixar world but that is a huge reach and you know it." As opposed to a rat being a brilliant, 5-star Parisian chef which isn't a reach at all.
@@Jay-ate-a-bug the more disturbing part is that rats are incontinent and are carriers for weils disease, the disease is transmitted in rat urine and they are running around all over the kitchen. so, rat urine disease dinners anyone?
The same point of the Jumanji one can be used for the Chronicles of Narnia. The kids grew up and then had to return to their child bodies and grow up again in a war-torn era.
I think finally beating the game of Jumanji and being rewarded with a second chance at life was all the therapy Alan and Judy needed. They clearly did well for themselves as adults.
For the Jumanji part I kinda remember there was a scene where Alan asked Sarah how its like for her to be young again and she replies with it felt like she's slowly forgetting her experiences as an adult and then she kissed Alan "before she forgets how to". So it might be a good guess that the game covered their bases and gave them a sort of "reset".
Very true, it's a bit of a mind bend the more you think about, as the brain of a child is pysically different to the brain of an adult. So they would have memories of processing complex adult emotions, with the hormones and underdeveloped frontal cortex of a child.
If the game did do a reset then how do they remember the kids many years later or when they both shouted 'no!' when the kids parents mentioned they were going away on a trip, the same trip which would have led to their deaths so Alan and Sarah do remember everything that happened.
@@Colin_ I always took it to mean they got an emotional reset, while still retaining the memories of their previous lives. Like they were disconnected from it. Like it happened, but not to them. Making Post-Jumanji Alan and Sally a completely different version from their Pre-Jumanji and Jumanji selves.
Guess there's a chance meat could get passed around and our good-guys don't give adequate thought to what kind. To estimate how big a chance, we'd need knowledge of topics that Star Wars doesn't take time for. Would medics in that reality tell us any food on any moon is safe, or none is? Only precedent off the top of my head is Luke on Dagobah. He's protective of his rations. Also only tries Yoda's cooking with reluctance. Yes; seems like he just doesn't find it appetizing, but he could be conflicted between survival training and houseguest etiquette. Anyway, without more info, we can fall back on common sense. Seems likely as not that humans and Wookie would refuse to eat unidentified meat.
Skeleton Key still gives me nightmares. The villains of the movie switched places with the kids, which means the last things the kids experienced was being lynched by an angry mob... led by their own parents. I can't even begin to contemplate this.
The end of the remade 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' shows a world given a second chance, after all our tech is neutralized. That ignores the fact that a population the size of ours is dependent upon our technological base, to include logistical and supply networks. Without them, a massive die-off of the human population is inevitable through starvation and disease.
Same thing for Escape from LA. Snake triggers the device that shuts down all technology. He basically murders tens of thousands within that first minute from plane crashes and people on machines in hospitals all around the world. Then you have the food shortages, drug shortages, perhaps even nuclear plants unable to keep the pumps going and meltdown.
Keith: I had a different interpretation. The fact that "love" changed Keanu's mind to destroy the world? Please. We all saw how quickly humanity went back to bein' shitty to each other just one month after 9/11. Love is the most powerful force there is, but there are WAY too many "bad seeds" out there.
It doesn't matter because the remake of Day the Earth Stood still is possibly one of the worst movies ever made. The plot was absurd and the acting sucked. Watch the original, it's light years better.
Apparently; Thanos' idea but in different form - humanity would eventually figure stuff out (the 5 year aftermath shown in Endgame wasnt even near the beginningof the healingprocess) - might take a full century before there would be any resemblance of a successful transformation.
Sarah from Jumanji receive a gift, not a curse. Sarah had a terrible 25 traumatizing years from Alan disappearance!!!! Also now she know who to trust in life. Also invest in right stocks
I was thinking the same. Although I don’t know about Sarah, but I don’t think I could remember everything that happened during those 25 years that I got to relive. But I definitely would change a few things 😇
The ending of Back to the Future always bothered me when you see Marty meeting an alternate version of his family who are all essentially strangers to him.
Or the fact that Marty is on a separate Timeline then from the one at the beginning of the film, which Doc was trying to avoid by his chalkboard illustration in the 2nd film.
@@Garvant_ Except they are still Marty's family. Sure they're experiences are different but they're still his family members. It's the point Rick makes a lot in Rick & Morty, there are literally infinite versions of his family.
About ratatouille “you can hand wave this and say rats live a bit longer in the Pixar universe, but that is a reach and you know it” … it’s about a gourmet chef rat.
Closing the oasis for two days shouldn't disrupt people's lives if they're working. That's the equivalent of days off. My life isn't ruined because I work 5 days a week. That's normal.
It WOULD force everyone to take the SAME days off though. That might have some issues since you wouldn't be able to take care of any errands on your days off since everywhere is closed.
In a world where poverty is rife being forced to lose 30% of your income would suck. When I could work I worked 7 days a week. Only way to make ends meat.
You're only thinking of yourself on this assessment. Consider EVERYONE taking the same 2 days off each week. No grocery stores. No gas stations. No urgent cares. Nothing. That would DEFINITELY make an impact on the economy.
@@CraigMcGuinn Yeah, but the quantity is the same. :-) And not everyone in the real world has Sat/Sun off for weekends. Some people do have non-consecutive days off. For them, that is their weekend.
Re: Forrest Gump....Winston Groom, the book writer, has said that he wrote it with the intent that she had Hep C from her drug use, not AIDS. Unmade scripts are about as useful as fanfic...
This list is about the movie, not the book. And both the screenwriter and director of the movie both confirmed that in the movie Jenny absolutely had aids.
The implications near the end of "Con Air" were that Green was on the road to recovery due to that encounter with the unnamed little girl. A girl that he easily could have killed, but was still alive as the plane took off with green aboard. Also, the ending of "Ready Player One" was better in the book. Of course much as I loved the movie, the entire book was better.
I felt similar about the conclusion of Titanic as well. I try to justify it by thinking Rose had already made peace with the passing of her husband. Whereas her experience with Jack and the doomed cruise ship completely changed her life, but she never put the ghosts to rest. That is why she secretly kept The Heart Of The Ocean for decades, instead of selling it, donating it a museum, or returning it to her former fiance's family. By dropping the jewelry into the sea, Rose was able to die in peace and reconnect with Jack and the ship to achieve closure. There was also the possibility that Rose's marriage SUCKED! Divorce was nowhere near as common back then. 🤷
Compare & contrast: afterlife reunion formal in a big room with Jack and other friendly people who once met on a crashing ship...or plane if we're talking about Lost. ;-P Common critique: it implies that the random set of people you once shared a passenger vehicle with are more important than your family and lifelong friends. My explanation: no one said you have to spend eternity at one party. Between scenes (death and big room), each character involved might have gone to family reunion, then high school varsity team reunion, then favorite workplace reunion, etc. NATURALLY, you'll want to make it to your historical crash survivor & non-survivor mixer reunion eventually! :-D
@@alm2187 I like your explanation. I always thought that Rose wound up seeing Jack and the others from the Titanic because she had just relived that story mentally while telling it, and it was on her mind when she died. She probably stayed there for awhile and then moved on to other scenes in the afterlife.
@@aceofspades9503 Yes! This exactly! She just spent hours talking about all of this and reliving the most traumatic night of her life, she got lucky she didn't have nightmares about it all before dying.
What do you mean back then? The movie is set in the 1990s, you're making it sound like it was some medieval times and she couldn't divorce, like, during the actual ancient times of the 80s when people wore big hair and... shudders... shoulder pads.
And before he drove through three states wearing a head as a hat, he was the "best guitarist in the world... No lessons", 'cause he's "the best man, the better man!" and that night at the wedding reception was what tipped him over the edge, leading him to become a psychopath as he didn't go home and sleep it off!
The titanic one is a fair point but consider that she had 50+ years with her husband to slowly accept each others faults, mistakes etc but with Jack all she ever knew was his best
Jack was also I big what if and he saved her from committing to being incompatible with life earlier in the movie so you'd probably have a strong attachment to someone like that?
In regard to the ending of fury road, the implication I got was that although Corpus was a brilliant tactician and strategist (likely taught by his father, who himself was from a pre-war era military background), he lacked the “muscle” to control the weak (but extremely numerous) “war pups” and “war boys” dwelling within the citadel. Prior to the fall of Immortan Joe and his personality cult, he used a combination of Rictus’s (the son who dies in the final battle scene) brute strength and unwavering loyalty to his father for physical “enforcement” of his laws/edicts/whims, whereas Corpus’s strengths are purely intellectual and his scheming no doubt aided his father in coming up with new ways to “expand” and become even more powerful, he is bed bound to his leather harness perched atop the reservoir, with a great view of the distance to warn of any attackers. However, by the same token, he can never enforce rule in a psychical manner (I own the hardback graphic novel as well, and while one of the last panels does have corpus suggest that they should not allow the wasteland beggars an unlimited amount of water, lest they lose their most valuable resource/stranglehold on the entire “operation”, but I believe it was Furiosa who ultimately assumed command, and the “suggestion” of corpus’s never is met.) Ultimately corpus has no power now due to his existence and continued sustenance being presumed to be entirely in the form of aid/tribute of his more loyal “war boys” who still believed in immortal joe and their “half-lives” spent on earth, before ascending to Valhalla to ride the fury road forever, shiny and chrome 😉
In the novel, and I believe even the creators of the movie addressed this too, Jenny was actually confirmed to have Hepatitis C, not HIV/AIDS. However, despite low transfer risk, there's still a chance the son ended up getting it.
Also, I think there's a Fact Fiend episode where the author of Forrest Gump was so angry about the first movie glossing over and ruining some things that he wrote Forrest Gump 2 as something almost unfilmable AND wrote into his contract that only HE could write/approve the movie script, which is why the second movie was never made.
I think it depends on when Jenny caught the Hep C. She could've stayed clean until after Jr. was born and weened followed by a cruel twist of fate that lead to only the mother being afflicted.
Especially the Ratatouille one. Like if a rat is sentient enough to be able to cook like a master, it's not THAT big a stretch it might live longer in an entirely fictional world.
Calm is key to clarity, VG. Are we outwardly emotional after watching any given one of these movies? Can we explain the seeming plot oversight in a plausible way? These are separate questions we tend to blur into one. If, say, a discussion group formed to explore the second question, I'd advocate they remain relaxed the whole time. :-)
For Kingsman I always figured the implication was people never new the reason for the sudden violent urges, that it was stopped before "too many" people died (like... the elderly and other vulnerable people society doesn't really care as much for) and that the world barely blinking an eye at what happened would be representative of how people seem to react to any horrific event. Like... "Oh man that was horrific, I'm so horrified, oh look at what Amber Heard did today!"
I mean, we know eggsy's mum manages to hide away her baby long enough to save her. How about all the other parents and babies in the world? How long does it take for a mother to pull her child out of a pram and dash its head on the pavement? Not long I imagine
In Jumanji, Sarah's unhappiness came from Allen being sucked into the game and no one believing her. How can finding the solution to that and Allen being back be traumatizing?
What you overlooked about Ready Player One and the Oasis prize being claimed: millions spent so much time trying to get the money that once claimed, they had no interest in being online. Imagine a game losing millions of subscribers and DLC the following months.
Most people had lost interest in the prize until the first key was won. The oasis was also wildly popular even before the contest was ever announced, with its announcement being only after the creator had died. The oasis was also more than just 1 game. It not only made up the majority of gaming as a whole, but also PROBABLY took over many of the aspects that the modern day internet has as far as communications and digital transactions. If the cash money of an online game was claimed, would YOU lose interest in the internet as a whole? Probably not
@@josecuervogold1800 the Oasis wasnt just 1 game, it would be more accurate to compare it to the internet as a whole. Yes...im still using the internet. Yes, I'm still gonna play games and communicate with people. If you remember, even after most people gave up on the idea of hunting the easter egg, they still logged in to go mountain climbing with batman or whatever.
In Jumanji, while dumping the game in the river, both Sarah & Allen admitted to each other that they were slowly beginning to feel more like a kid again. I guess even though they retained the memories, their mindset reverted back to a teen. Also keep in mind that their present & future will play out differently since they finished the game.
Jumanji's was one i caught on when randomly rewatching it, you even get a line from Sarah like "No, after thousands of hours of therapy to accept that that was not real" or something
Yeah. I don't know why they said she was secretly traumatized. She had a terrible first life after he disappeared and no one believed her. It's not like the two adults didn't experience their first lives, so of course they'd have all the traumas and problems unless they were able to resolve them in their redo lives.
Rose's romance with Jack ended because he died. A fling is typically something that you go for because you don't want a real relationship, but you don't want to be single. Considering Rose was engaged to be married when she met Jack, and the reason that romance ended, it's kinda misplaced to call that "a fling"
I expect that all of the jobs that everybody has and all of the schedules will just adjust to accommodate the new schedule, and/or have some things replaced with real meetings, albeit mobile ones like teleconferences and the like.
When I first saw Con-Air I thought he killed that little girl, but then when I got to the ending I thought differently, thinking she actually changed him. Thus why he was acting the way he was at the end.
Wouldn't Furiosa just have killed the son? Or the remaining wives do it? Considering they know what this family did to them personally, you'd think they want to end the genetic line right then and there.
Jules your inspired words are always a bonus. Sometimes I didn't even realize I needed to hear something that just made me feel a little better. You are truly a legend.
Number 3 is incorrect: Rose, as she had reminisced on their short-lived romance in connection to the heart necklace, just remembered and thought on him that night and imagined what she probably thought of all this years ago, one more. She wasn't pining for him, she was grateful for him, no matter how short he was in her life.
RE: Titanic. The ship sinking was a MASSIVE life changing experience (duh). You don't think Rose would have remember fondly the guy who SAVED her life that faithful night? Her memories make perfect sense as 60+ happy years (?) would have never occurred if it wasn't for her young lover. She must have thought of that poor dude every day but that has zero effect on her ability to be happy (or even fall in love) with the guy she married. She moved on (no choice really) but clearly never forgot her OG crush on that ill fated cruise... seems pretty realistic to me. When Jack died part of her died too, the young, adventuresome Rose, hanging out nude, shagging in a car, she was a wild one. One can assume she became way more traditional / conservative after her near death experience. That is why she returns to that happy place with Jack in her memories when she finally dies. The problem with Titanic is watching multiple times you realize just how the bad the dialog is as soon as the ship starts sinking. Jack just runs around screaming "ROSE" constantly, he is actually pretty annoying and not very helpful.
Rose always knew she needed to marry to secure her position in life. It would not be too unusual that she’d choose and see her husband as a good match and partner, but not romantically or passionately. Also, it would not be too unusual that her dreams (I know, it’s implied to be the afterlife) would be influenced towards Jack, after recounting the entire story. So it’s rather plausible as an implication, not disturbing.
I think the movie Passengers has one of the wildest unexplored consequences. The couple builds a life together but they can either choose never to have children, or they can have kids who will have to either live their entire lives single or open up pods of the people who are sleeping so that they can start their own families
In “The Secret Service “ the comic books that Kingsman is based on the ending was very different. Since they couldn’t stop Valentine’s signal from broadcasting they reprogrammed it and instead of the violence it was essentially a planet wide orgy.
American Beauty (1999). The original idea for the script had the story framed by a trial. Ricky and Jane on trial for being accused of killing Lester, and at the end they are found guilty. Though this was scrapped, there's still plenty of incriminating evidence, most significantly a tape where they talk about killing Lester, and plenty of footage filmed by Ricky where he appears to be stalking Lester. So even though they decided not to show it in the final cut, the ending implies that Ricky and Jane will be incriminated for a crime they didn't commit.
No one ever comments on what happened to the other "Marty" in "Back to the Future:. When Marty gets back and finds out that his parents and home life has changed, he just goes with it. But what happened to the "Marty" that grew up in that house? the last we see of him, he disappears in the Delorean.
Bet he gets kicks into reality where he wakes up Marty’s original timeline and goes WTF? Why is my dad a spaz? Talks to Doc, we got to fix this -> good thing I invented a time machine -> get stuck in Marty’s original time problem and needs a bolt of lightning -> thus a predestination paradox.
That would keep things neat, @@vietlee4290. It's just that there's no reason that would happen. This is where we wish Bill & Ted logic applied with the fixed timeline from their first film. Bob Z would have to have started his movie differently. Hill Valley history is already set. The story Marty's parents tell is about the stranger who gave George such incredible advice. The clock tower lightning strike is thought to be the work of an unidentified vandal with a lightning rod. Etc. Most likely thing to happen per the way the film is: (recapping the actual scene) Marty arrives at Lone Pine Mall. Watches shootout with terrorists. Watches his Counterpart Marty escape in the DeLorean. Counterpart Marty sees the flash, the scarecrow, and Peabody's barn an instant before crashing into it. In that flash, since he's yet to take any causal action to found the new timeline, Counterpart Marty's memory reverts to Original Marty's memory, just as the pocket photo of kids would later dissolve back and forth from a timeline with no kids.
wouldn't the shut down off the oasis amount to a weekend assuming they don't already have a weekend its just two days real people and businesses already account for two days of downtime how would it be different in this case
The last 30 seconds of your video- just are a reward unlike any other… I love the content, and I almost click off it but stay to hear any announcements, and the bam, I remind that I am loved, and love other people, and love myself- and that life IS good
The Running Man: our heroes, who save the day and expose the evil game show host, are almost certainly going to be arrested and executed by the evil government who ran the show.
uh....the current economy has 2 days off built in. so i'm not sure why closing the oasis for 2 days a week would be catastrophic lol he basically gave the game a weekend, except the days aren't consecutive
That's what I thought. The same thing happened in the US in the early 29th century. 6-7 day weeks-12+ hour days (80-100 hour weeks) turned to 40 hours 5 days a week and the economy didn't melt down because of it.
@@Tholen3 while that would potentially be a problem in the real world, because people might not be able to get food or services they need and stuff, i don't think it matters as much in a game. if no one is logged in, more or less nothing happens. there aren't going to be people in the game world that are inconvenienced or endangered by businesses not being open. and if someone earns their living through the game, they should still be able to live with 2 days off. if not, they can get a job IRL. It might result in a bad situation for some individuals, but I don't think it would tank the entire economy.
uh ... maybe the current economy has 2 days off built in in your ivory tower, dude, but plenty of people work more than five days a week out in the real world.
The Oasis one isn’t that bad to me. He essentially gave the metaverse merchants a weekend. Corporations have business hours and weekends off generally so this isn’t that catastrophic.
9:05 - The Pixar Universe has sentient cars. Per an original draft, the ants in "A Bug's Life" are supposed to be from the genus _Solenopsis,_ specifically the species known as _Red Ants..._ or, more commonly, _Fire Ants._ So Flik, a _worker ant,_ in our universe would technically have a lifespan of only *5 WEEKS.* Fortunately for Flik however, he doesn't live in our universe; he lives in the Pixar's Universe, where cars can literally come to life _[I would also like to mention that Pixar should really consider a crossover movie about the exciting life of Colette's motorcycle - that's one lucky bike]._ Anyway, back to my point: in Pixar's Universe, bugs get to live for many, many YEARS, instead of mere weeks... well beyond what would be biologically possible in our universe. So, it goes without saying that rats probably do too. Stop trying to ruin people's favorite movies. And also stop thinking about Colette's motorcycle seat, *you pervert!* It's a children's movie... how dare you bring up such a thing.
He also changed her. She wasn't the same person as before anymore, Rose wouldn't have lived the life she did if not for meeting Jack. She would make different choices, probably marry someone else than she did and just, in general, be a completely different human being.
In the book, The Oasis was also used by the bedridden and terminally ill as a way of exploring their limited boundaries. It goes even further in book 2.
What about how Tom Cruise's Daniel Kaffee was murdered years after the end of a "A Few Good Men"? Colonel Jessup was a zealot, but he was also was a decorated Marine. He got a slap on the wrist for perjury, but the conduct unbecoming a US Marine resulted in him losing his base, career, and appointment to the JCOS. If Col. Markinson got the drop on Kaffee so easily in the film, you can be damn sure Jessup did after he got out, and proceeded to "rip off his head and p*ssed in his dead skull, because he f*cked with the wrong Marine". Fin.
Jessup also committed solicitation to commit bodily harm, evidence tampering, contempt of court, obstruction of justice and aggravated assault. He's not getting out soon.
This video touched on how reliving your childhood would actually be a night as a fully aware adult not getting to have fun and to relive the same moments over is torture. Bravo someone finally said it.
If you've ever seen the Butterfly Effect, I definitely recommend watching the alternate ending which plays well as an alternate reality similar to the ending of Donnie Darko. It's the existential implications that did it for me. 😳
Very loosely based on "The Sound of Thunder". A short SciFi story. The gist of it being that if you alter the past in anyway it will also alter the future. And in the "Sound of Thunder" the past event that was altered was the death of a single butterfly by one of the time travelers.
The Kingsman one annoys me because there is a scene in Harry’s office where he has all these newspaper headlines hung up in his office. They all show mundane headlines because he succeeded in stopping something bad. So you assume that was what would have happened at the end of the movie. Eggsy kills all the bad guys and saves the day before anything bad happens. The next day you see the headline on a newspaper is something insignificant.
Just goes to show you that someone will live with and/or put up with someone for a financial gain/support and well-being no matter how much they love somebody else.
1 = She offered herself to a complete stranger. 2 = She didn't wait to get out of her prison cell. Shouldn't she had made sure the so-call rescuer actually rescued her first. 3 = She had know idea that the rest of her royal family were dead. Not just deceased, but the heads were all blown off. Imagine how that post-coitus chat went.
@@nerdvanacomics1164 I refuse to watch the film again, so you have to remind me why the Prime Minister held the Princess hostage with Valentine but not her parents who I presume are the King and Queen (or similar high royal status). Please. I don't recall that. I recall that she was hostage because she was the only person that wouldn't comply with Valentine's plan.
@@HighHeelKnight it was part of her duties as princess she is either a head of state or a VIP 2 of Valentine's targets she would go to these types of meetings as the representative of the royal household and he figured since she refused his plan her parents would as well so left them to their own devices
I'm not sure I agree with the Titanic entry. There is a reason why marriages are "Till Death do us part." Rose had a full and wonderful life with her husband, but it is a very real thing that the "what if" of her 2 day fling still haunted her and she chose "the path less travelled" for her afterlife.
But . . . that means that . . . the two-day fling . . . meant more than her marriage. It's what she chose for eternity. You just agreed with Jules' premise. Oh, and that's not what "the path less travelled" means. That refers to a pointless choice between two completely equal options and the self-delusion that either choice matters.
I definitely disagree with your interpretation of "the path less travelled", but I think this is more about choice. She chose Jack and he was stolen from her by the tragedy of the ship's sinking. That was a wound she carried for the rest of her life. She lived a life with her husband, and that chapter of her life was closed and completed. She was set up in the movie as an adventurer. And now in her afterlife, she chose to heal her wounds and go on a different adventure. That doesn't mean the "fling" meant more than her marriage. It was just a different choice. Doesn't mean more, Doesn't mean less. It's just a different adventure.
I always greatly enjoy when Jules takes stage to present. And I appreciate his care for the mental health of others which is something not typically seen (or talked about) by most.
I disagree with the take on Inception. I think Saito, after all he had experienced in the dream world and being trapped in “limbo”, would recognize the danger he himself poses to the world and would hopefully temper his power. His whole pitch to Cobb is that Fischer Morrow would monopolize the world’s energy so they must be stopped. Obviously it could go the other way but I like to think it wouldn’t based on the character’s development throughout the film.
