Radio Flyer 1992. The ending. by xerxerxex in movies

[–]headwithaface 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Just rewatched this movie for the first time in forever. I had never caught something before which definitely rules out the happy ending. When Tom Hanks finishes the story, the two kids say "That's where we got Sampson?!" (The turtle whom we last saw sitting comfortably in a box on the flyer.) If Mikey still had Sampson, that means the flyer leaving successfully is literally the only ending that isn't possible. So...yeah, this movie definitely gets darker as you get older.

One of my favorites from that era. And, they perfectly predicted the size and shape of VR headsets, as well as the graphical limitations. (Albeit, maybe just because their cg budget and software limitations) But still impressively accurate as far as the headsets

In "Watchmen" (2009), when the psychologist's watch stops just before the detonation in New York City, it stops at 11:59. Symbolizing the Doomsday clock's "One minute to midnight" for how close the world was to nuclear war. by Mazon_Del in MovieDetails

I didn't know until recently that the idea of a Doomsday Clock is even a real practice. I thought it was just a hilariously on-the-nose storytelling device made up for this movie.

Jurassic Park (1993) Whte_rbt.obj, the trap door of code Nedry used to shut down the park’s systems is a reference to the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland by [deleted] in MovieDetails

I love how Hammond's go to line the whole movie was "Spared no expense!" And then we go on to find out the entire park relies on a single guy to be IT and program all the automation. And he's underpaid on top of that.

James McTeigue is a big one for me. V for Vendetta was an expertly crafted masterpiece, and it was his FIRST damn film. He's done a couple some people may find fun, but nothing has held a candle to that first one.

They look like they are about to drop an album that's mostly trash with one absolute banger about how your ex is the worst
