movie questions thread

[Hilltop Customs]

Ok, so im drunk(thats how the best post start though, isnt it?)


Anyone thats seen "I am legend".....you know the part where Will smith gets caught in the trap, bangs his head, and is stuck hanging upside down. Who set the trap?


I just had a converstation with some friends about this tonight, and wondered what everyone else thought.


anyhow, dont limit this thread to just this movie....any question about any movie....just ask....

It's been awhile since I've seen it but I think it was Will Smith who set the trap. I say that because from what was shown about the "zombies", it did not seem that they were smart/inteligent enough to do that.

I am just glad it's a different question then what I heard for a while, "Why was he talking to manikins?" I got sick of trying to tell people wht that was happening.

THANK YOU....that is exacly what I thought when I first saw the movie....and I couldnt come to any other conclusion. IMO if your alone for that long I dont care who you are you will go skitso(however you want to spell it) It all ties in together....the manikins, his trap, and his scientific recordings.... But yet everyone I saw the movie with tonite thought it was the zombies

well from what i heard the book to which this movie is loosly based off of has "vampires" that interact like any human. And in the alternate ended on the dvd the zombie leader can b reasoned with indicating some type of thought. The point I'm trying to make is that it could have been the zomies copying Smiths earlier trap but without the two details I listed it would have clearly had to be Smith. Either way it was a good watch!!

woah, didnt know that. I did find it odd that the zombie did have "pet" dogs that he released as smith escaped from the trap. Thanks for the info!

Ive never seen the alternate ending.....but just guessing does it happen while in the basement just after smith yells for the "zombies" to stop attacking the glass?

You should all read the story this is "loosely" based on, sooo much better than the movie, in my opinion.

I enjoyed it but there are so many aspects of the movie which just don't work, I found myself think of it as a B-rated movie rather than a blockbuster.

I thought the point was that the "zombies" had set the trap for Will.

I'm gonna stop there cause I don't think this was a thread to point out all the movies flaws.

I was under the impression that the woman set the trap.

after thinking about it more, I dont think it could have been the zombies. If they could immitate something as complex smith's trap(including finding all the tools, and then setting it up.....even though they didnt witness his actual setup) wouldnt they also immitate the use of weapons and much simpler activities? And if they could understand something as complex as that, why wouldnt they just throw some cloths and sunglasses on and go out in the light.....


anyone have any other intersting questions about movies?

[LegumeOfTerror]

if smith had set the trap, it would have had the black bag to prevent the specimen from dying, and he had no reason to set another as he already had the woman to work with. the leader vampire guy imitated the trap he saw his woman get caught with and used it. that's why he was ready with the dogs.

To tell you the truth, I didn't care for the movie. I thought it was all hype and no deliver.

One movie question I have is, why has every movie gone to CGI and wire instead of real stunts and/or locations and props? Look at good movies like T2, Origanal Star Wars, Die Hard,True Lies, Jackie Chan stuff, etc. They all had some little CGI but not the entire movie being filmed in front of a green screen. Just something that has bothered me for a while.

Here's a question...

Why make the Speed Racer movie look entirely too gay?

[Engus]

to match the homosexuality and pedofilism(is that a word?) of the cartoon

[sandfreestyle]

Cause they don't want to spend the time and money to make a half-way decent movie.

There's 3 movies I'm waiting to see; Ironman, Dark Knight, and Transformers 2. These movies are either going to be really good or REALLY bad. Same thing goes with Incredable Hulk and Dragonball.

to follow in the footsteps of the cartoon? I remeber watching it when I was little, and even then it was horrible.

speed racer < ironman



As for CGI mentioned earlier.....its cheaper/safe.....and when your doing real stunts if you dont get the right camera angles or something goes slightly wrong, you have to start over again, which can get expensive quick. The downside of CGI.....the creators seem to be too stupid to make anything look real(physics wise, not graphics). Movies that are based or real/everyday life should be just like real life....but once the film makers switch on the CGI reality leaves the movie making equation. Either make a fantasy movie or a movie base in reality....the two cannot blend(lol will it blend).

You left out INDIANA JONES.

They can't screw that up.
