[quote=Austruck]And don't get me started on things like beauty, color, and how all these things work together in a strange interconnected way.

Wow.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]YES! That's odd that you should mention that, John. I was just thinking that today. In my case, I was watching some show on TV (some nature thing hubby was watching), and they were talking about how certain cicadas come out from underground only every 17 years. (They came out around here in 2002, and it was amazing.)

I found it stunning that they all "knew" to come out in 2002. How the heck do they do that? Things like the intricacies of creatures and also "instinct" and hibernation -- all that subconscious stuff in animals ... all fascinating.

Makes me marvel at how complex the world really is.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Have any of you ever had one of those moments where you think "Holy crap Earth is awesome"? :)[/quote]

[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]
