Really? How many white horses have won the Triple Crown?
I just watched this movie on Netflix. When I watched the sneeze scene, I thought that it was another highlight of Keanu Reeve's acting abilities.
Doc Brown explains it in "Back to the Future 2"
Leading up to her death, she asked Wick if he feared eternal damnation to which answered yes. She said that she thought that she would avoid damnation. She is Italian. She is probably Roman Catholic. Suicide is a sin and she would have ended up in hell.
John has already commited so many sins and is going to hell, anyways. By shooting and killing her as she was fading, he spared her from damnation, at least for this particular sin.
I think the wife was blameless. Her breakdown was caused directly by his lies and ambitions.
It was my impression that Rory was only telling the mother about his marriage and 10-year-old son for the first time, without disclosing that there was a stepdaughter from his wife's prior relationship. The mother was not being selfish. She was understandably upset that Rory had not bothered to contact her for 10 years (not invited to wedding or birth of grandson). It appears that Rory has a brother and he obviously had no idea what was going on with his brother over the years.
The photo without the stepdaughter was not engineered. It was just the first photo that happened to be taken by the taxi driver while the stepdaughter was still in the house. He chose to show that photo to his mother because he did not want to disclose that he has married a woman who already had a daughter from a previous relationship.
Like everything else, he lied to his mother without regard to the consequences. Eventually, all the lies would be exposed. When the truth starts coming out in the cab, he got dumped on the side of the road and his false life fell apart.
When I google it today, there are certainly recent papers that say you can use urine and sweat for DNA identification, difficult but possible. Was the DNA technology back in 2007 sophisticated enough to analyse DNA in pure urine? I don't know. But you forget that Dane Cook did not pee straight into a sterile cup to provide a sample. He peed through his day old underwear, dirty jeans, over pubic and leg hair, flaky skin and sweaty socks and shoes. Lots of DNA sources other than pure urine.
Second note, pee is obviously not very "potent"; you can drink it and it does not have much strong effect on you. In the old days, doctors used to taste the patient's urine to detect sugar in order to diagnose diabetes. On the other hand, any substance including urine can be "toxic". Toxicity is a question of how much is too much. For example, if you drink too much clean pure water, you can suffer from "water toxicity" and die. Google it or look it up on Wikipedia.
IMO, Don was one of the prey, not a hunter.
1. During the slide-show selection scene, the hunters said that they wanted to kill all of the thousands of web posters, but the consultant said they had to cap it off to just 12 prey.
2. If you add up all the prey including Randy who died on the plane, you need to include Don to add up to 12.
3. There were only 11 photos up on the Manor wall, but Randy was already killed on the plane and did not participate in the hunt. In the zoomed-in shot, only the top nine photos are shown, not the bottom two. In the zoomed-out shot you can see the bottom left photo is a stout man with a white beard that looks like Don and not like any of the other prey.
4. Don helped Crystal kill the hunter who went out to pee by distracting him and stood by letting Crystal kill all the hunters in the bunker without making any effort to warn or help them.
5. Once Don picked up gun in the bunker, he could have easily shot Crystal while her guard was down.
6. Athene would not be dumb enough to expose Don if he was truly an undercover hunter. On the other hand...
7. When asked if Don was one of the hunters, Athene says "... or maybe not" with a smirking look.
8. Crystal mistakenly killing Don fits in with the theme that people can make deadly errors based on faulty assumptions or misinformation.
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan?
The fire control board got shot up by the cook and became unusable.
I don't think Netflix produced this film; it only bought the streaming rights. Regardless, I thought it was a good film.
I just watched this on Netflix. One of the best films I have seen in a long time. Good enough to get me to sign up and post on MC. Good plot and the action scenes with Noomi Rapace were quite intense. I don't know what technical magic they used to have 7 sisters played by one actress but it was done so well that I didn't care.
There were a few twists. Surprised that Tuesday had survived and that Monday had betrayed her sisters. Predictably the "bad" sister dies. But I flipped in the end and felt some empathy for Monday when it was revealed that she was pregnant and was protecting her unborn children. If she chose her sisters, she would have had to abort her babies to maintain the facade (like having to cut off finger in the earlier scene). And with the abolishment of the one baby law, they were up to their eyeballs in newborns in no time and Earth was back on its course to probable destruction.
