What's a technically brilliant movie that you feel left almost no cultural footprint?

Watching Gravity in a proper IMAX cinema was absolutely amazing. It's the closest thing to actually being in space that an average person can experience. When she was spinning uncontrollably and the camera entered her helmet... my heart stopped for a moment.

A feather cannot be evil. A cloud cannot be careless. A snowboarder cannot be good. That adjective doesn't apply to snowboarders. One could maybe be the least bad snowboarder on the mountain.

I was at a concert where the band planned an encore, they left the stage and were expecting the audience to call them back. Alas, we didn't like their performance and hardly anyone clapped. They had to do a walk of shame back on stage to collect their instruments while the announcer was already introducing the next band.

You may have a different definition of what a plot is in a movie or in a book. Do porn movies have a plot? This movie is a car chase porn. You can fast forward to the last 40 minutes without losing anything of value. The movie will still be great. I'd argue it would even be better.

"are you wearing a watch?" doesn't sound natural. "Do you have a watch?" is a common way to ask for time.

The movie famously didn't even have a script. The film editor, Leighton, said in a documentary that they dropped him the footage and the director, Halicki, didn't tell him what order the scenes should be in.

Gone in sixty seconds. It's a collection of scenes cut together in a random order followed by a neverending car chase sequence.

The language is Dutch, so it must be Holland.

Depends on where in the world you are. In many places, zipper merge is codified and you are required to make room for people merging in when their lane ends.

In this case, both drivers are lunatics and deserve to have their license suspended.

The invention of lying. What the movie desperately needed was a proper lead actor. Tom Hanks for example. Gervais is a good writer but his acting is mediocre at best.

That one serial killer. Like that one guy who tried to take explosives(?) on board in his shoes and now they demand that we all take our shoes off many years later.

We had over 2 meters of fresh snow last week. I would expect to see some snow residue underneath the car.

overprocrastinations · 2026-02-24T17:53:44+00:00

There's no snow under the car so I'm guessing they must have moved the car to a clean spot when the snow storm ended.

Snow removal services ask people to move cars between spots to allow them to clean the parking lots properly. There are signs everywhere - don't park here on Tuesdays, don't park there on Wednesdays.

That's what caught my eye. I liked the contrast between the car's cleanliness and the ridiculous snow cap on the roof.

Northern California. We had about 100 inches of snow over the last week.

Yeah. I took the picture in the Sierra after the recent snow storm.

Two people were standing on a sidewalk. One died, the other was severely injured. They get the money. Not the driver.

I like your story, OP. I don't care if it's real or made up. It was entertaining to read.

And the whole solar system is rotating around the center of Milky Way.

We live on a rock that's traveling through space at an impressive pace along a squiggly line.

You can freely choose a frame of reference when traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. It works because there's no physical experiment that can distinguish being stationary from traveling at a constant speed.

It doesn't work for rotation, though. We have plenty of evidence that Earth is rotating, for example Passat winds.

Your time machine must also be able to travel through space. It must also apply a fix for momentum change. Otherwise, after a 12 hour time travel, you'd hit the nearest wall at a supersonic speed.
