[quote=Pyro Tramp]I've got it on the download Sedai, so i can let you know how the two compare ;)  The digital shooting may come up better on a small screen but i'm sure the freakier-than-hell moments won't be as good.  One bit scared the poop outta me, had shivers running down my spine.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Well.. Pyro just reminded me that I will never get a chance to see Inland Empire on the big screen.

:(

Damn you Lynch, damn you, and your incorrect website...[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]Thank you, Holden. I thought I was the only one who was irked by that RECTANGLE. Not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles. 

Geez, and I wasn't even a math major! :rolleyes:[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]People, people, people! Stop it with the big shouts! :p[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Bump[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Ha... Damn that rectangle. Some of the references I like in the film are:

-The Psycho reference at the intersection with the double take at the car.

-The Kiss Me Deadly reference with the mysterious case.

-The Enter the Dragon-esque stabbing scene in the pawn shop, with Bruce W doing his best Bruce Lee.

-Deliverence. This homage actually fits into the story, unlike many of the others, as Holden pointed out.

-The same cleaner from the Remake of La Femme Nikkita (the remake is ****, but Keitel played Reno's cleaner in the remake.)

And many more...  perhaps even thread-worthy..[/quote]

[quote=JBriscoe]I always figured the square (rectagle, whatever) was drawn on screen to show how high the two were...no?[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Well, if you've seen one quadrilateral, you've seen 'em all. I draw the line at the rhombus, however. That would be just absurd.[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike][quote]After all, there's really no earthly reason we should be shown the outline of a square on-screen simply because Uma Thurman traced its outline with her fingers.[/quote]

Especially since she was supposed to be making a square and clearly made a rectangle, which ruined that joke for me (and irks me to this day).[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]In conclusion: bump.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]To me, they were always just stylistic flairs. After all, there's really no earthly reason we should be shown the outline of a square on-screen simply because Uma Thurman traced its outline with her fingers. But it's different and stands out.

I'm sure some are references, but even when I didn't/don't "get" them, I usually just chalk them up as little creative outbursts designed to set the film apart. Little in-jokes to let the viewer know that Tarantino knows that it's only a movie. This is certainly in keeping with his highly self-aware, so-accurate-they're-not-even-really-parodies efforts like [i]Kill Bill[/i] and the upcoming [i]Grindhouse[/i].

In my opinion, at least.[/quote]
