Why is Akira regarded as one of the best anime's of all time? I've watched it back in middle school or early high school, I forget, but didn't quite understand. Was it the confusing story line that made it great?
OK so I just got around to watching Fast Five... 1. Whenever there are movies where they gather different specialists for a mission, who pays for the trips? Like when they all gather in one location. In this movie specifically, I think Dom and pretty boy are broke, so who pays for the team to come to Rio? 2. Since the booties are distributed evenly, does that mean they also split the cost of the mission evenly? i.e. vans, explosives, armed weapons, gas, food?
1. Dunno 2. I disagree about the booties being evenly distributed. Gal Gadot had a lot more going on than those other chicks. Anyway, those are your questions? How about "How did they survive falling into the canyon?"
Repo Man Why was Miller able to touch -- and eventually leave in -- the Impala? And where did he go? Did he ever return? What's with the pine tree air fresheners? "Find one in every car. You'll see..."
I thought it was common knowledge that falling down through waterfalls and canyons don't necessarily kill you. At least that's what I get from too many other action movies (Apocalypto, etc), but I also never took a physics class in my life. 2. I believe Dom made it clear that everyone gets an even share at 11 mil a piece. I agree Gal Gadot has a lot more going on if you're talking about looks. However if we're talking about usefulness, the Asian guy and the preggo are probably the 2 easily replaced. Still haven't answered my number 2 though. They just don't discuss these things in movies, how the cost of missions will be split.
What was the story of the preacher before Firefly started? Why did David Tennant have to stop being the doctor in doctor who? Why couldn't he just let the old guy die?!? I hate Matt Smith Where did Doc go at the end of BTTF 3? Why did inception suck so much?
In Watchmen, how are the "Watchmen" stronger and faster than everyone else? I love the movie but have always wondered that. Are they like x-men, bitten by a spider, exposed to radiation........
Somehow . .. I figured he was like THE AGENT in the movie A Man who beleived strongly in the system . . until like the agent at the end of the movie. . . his eyes were open. [I get this from the respect he was given when he was shot . . in that one episode] Why do villians talk to much?? at the wrong time ? *grin* Rocket River Rocket River
Adaptation Decay. In the source material, it's made perfectly clear that there is only one super-powered human in the world: Dr. Manhattan. Everyone else is just varying degrees of crazy; the fight scenes were added because Zack Snyder can only direct slow-motion fight scenes competently.
Like a dream, if you think too much about it (or watch it more than once), you start seeing the inconsistencies and impossibilities, and it begins to fall apart. Nolan attempted to cause inception within the audience; by the end of the film, you're either going to completely reject this outside influence and hate it, or you might leave the theatre slightly confused, but with a germ of an idea in your mind.
Yeah, it doesn't really explain why Alliance military personnel seem to hold him in reverence when they find out his ID in the show. Shouldn't he be hated by Alliance military even more than Reynolds?
Also how did they manage to steal 4 cop cars, drag race and use the cop cars a day later without getting caught?
Really what Dom says is "everything they take, they split evenly." Ostensibly, that means the cost of the operation as well. Tej is the one who says that it is about $11M apiece. There are 8 members of the heist: Dom, O'Conner, Han, Tej, Roman, Gisele, Leo and Santos; that technically works out to $11M per person with $12M for overhead. They also could have been making money on street racing to try and cover some expenses. If you really want to get technical, there are 10 safehouses with $10M apiece. They burn 1 of the safehouses in order to get them to consolidate the money at police HQ; assuming the same $12M overhead, there is now $9.75M per person; assuming O'Conner and Mia split a share, and Dom gives half of his to Vince's widow. Of course, this ignores the fact that during the scene that Leo and Santos are at the casino in the credits, they each put down $10M in EUROS. Again, this doesn't even crack the top 5 for most implausible things in the movie, IMO.
