Midway Hawker

I said earily that B&B Do America is my choice, but really it HAS to be Young Frankenstein. After seeing Pags new sig it reminded me how utterly funny and brilliant this movie is. Honorable mention goes to: Spinal Tap History of the World part 1 (i'm still waiting for part 2!!) Blazing Saddles Office Space Stewie Griffin The Untold Story

Well, finally got around to watching this masterpiece..... Probably the funniest thing since B&B Do America. Dam, it was great.!

B&B Do America (of course)

The X-files hands down. Then Family Guy, my recent discovery!

It releases on my birthday!! what a great birthday present!

I remember watching Morgan Freeman on Seasme Street when I was a kid in the 70's... Then he grew up and stared in R rated movies! The Shawshank Redeption is a classic, an all time CLASSIC!!!! He is brilliant in this film...

This movie is sweet.

yeah, I think that helps... sorta.. A lot of those things are so subtly hinted at in the movie, it's hard to put it all together. I think I'm going to try and not think about this movie for a week or so and see if I can clear my head and then come back to it with a fresh mind. Thanks Pedro.

Just finished watching again for the 4th time (no, I'm not obsessed... ok, maybe I am).. Watched/Listened to it while reading the subtitles. I think I pretty much have it now. I finally understand the time line of the movie.. One of the keys is making sure you are following it from Abe's perspective.. I'm still a bit shaky on where Aaron3 comes from and why they fight, and why Aaron3 "wants it more" than Aaron2, all the while Aaron1 is in the attic... Pedro/anyone, can you explain where Aaron3 comes from? And I still don't quite understand what the significance is of taking a box back through the failsafe box. Did it somehow allow Aaron to go back further than when the original FailSafe was turned on?

Yes, he disappears from THAT time line (the time line that we are seeing) but does he really just vanish? I don't think so, he continues in the next time line which will be forgotten about as long as his next double gets in the box...

To clarify my above rambling... I don't really mean that Abe1 ceases to exist.. But that he travels back into a third time line, which would continue until an AbeX finally does not get into the box, thus leaving a double in THAT particular time line. But for Abe0 and HIS time line (the time line that really counts), it's only important that Abe1 get into the box to ensure that Abe0 continues as the only Abe in his time line. Is that correct? It makes sense to me this way. The only thing that's weird is that ultimately Abe would have to know that eventually in some particular time line that there are multiple versions of himself running around (even if HE was the only Abe in his current time line). Maybe he is aware of this and doesn't care, or maybe he is just not aware of this... The movie doesn't really get into it. I think the only real conclusion is that the "permutations are endless".

I've watched it 3 times and plan on watching it again soon. I've also read the movie as "subtitles" so I could pick up on some of the harder things to hear.. I have a basic understanding of the plot, but I still get real confused with the 3 Aarons at the end. I've been meaning to start this thread days ago! Just never got to it. Thanks Schro for starting it. I have so many questions I'm not sure where to start. I'm sure many of them don't have concrete answers, but some of them might. I need to formulate my thoughts on this, but for now I might just throw out a few things.. The first time Abe goes back, he sets the timer that turns the machine on 8:45am, goes to the hotel, comes back at 3pm, turns the machine off, gets in the machine and begins to travel back. When he gets out of the machine it's 8:45 am. he is the original Abe (Abe0) now living in his double's past (by about 15 minutes). His double is on his way to the hotel. Now, Abe0 lives out his day, does a stock trade, whatever..... But at 3pm he can see his double Abe1 going back into the U-haul place.. Abe1 gets in the machine and begins to travel back in time. Or does he? He already did it once. Does the double now travel back into a third parallel time line? It seems like he does, but the movie seems to stipulate that as long as the double (Abe1 in this example) gets back into the box just as original Abe0 did in the earlier time line, then Abe1 ceases to exist.. Why, I don't know.. But I can acccept the fact that it happens becauses that's the "rules" the movie lays down. However, in my mind, there would now be an endless loop of timelines as each sucessive AbeX gets into the box and travels back.... The only thing that stops this endless wave of timelines is when a certain AbeX decides to not get into the box, thus breaking the chain (so to speak) and leaving a permanent double (which we see happening later in the movie).. The endless timelines become irrelavent as only the latest revision is remembered as per the movie's rules. This is a fatal flaw in reasoning (in my opinion) but I guess that is necessary in a movie that is trying to make sense of time travel... I'm not sure if the above is a question, a statement, a comment, or a complete mindless rambling... Whatever it is, there will certainly be more to come! A to B = different degrees B to A = time travelling backwards

On the way home from work, I heard "Gloria - U2" on the radio, and it reminded me of another fav: U2 - Under a blood red sky Gloria on that album kicks arse... "This is the Edge!"

Some of my favs: Marillion - Reel to Reel Marillion - The Thieving Magpie Marillion - Made Again Marillion - Anorak in the UK Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East Judas Priest - Turbo Live Iron Maiden - Maiden Japan Iron Maiden - Live After Death Primus - Suck on This! Zebra - Zebra Live Helloween - I want out (live EP)

Us west coasters are still at work! Give me some time to think of my excuse! Geesh!

whoa! Just finished this one... And I'm a bit will need another watch on this one.. Everything comes at you so fast. Oh, and I'm starving.. I haven't eaten since later this afternoon.....

The blonde kept looking quizzically at him and his bulging pockets. Finally, after many such glances from her, he said, "It's golf balls." Never-the-less, the blonde continued to look at him thoughtfully and finally, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, asked, "Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?" .. or as much as Moby Dick...
