Spike ,'Sleeper'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
P-C,
yes. it meant that the scientist could tap into their brain waves and have an understanding of how the door to the inner sanctum worked. If they weren't clones, they might have had unique brain responses that wouldn't give information about the big picture.
At least that's what I hand waved.
I thought he could learn anything he wanted because of the hive mind. Wasn't that where he was getting all his information, the hive mind? How would clones make it any easier to get information from the hive mind?
I think it was a hive mind BECAUSE they were all clones.
Despicable Me 2 = however many minutes of complete delight.
I can't wait to see that! I have ridiculous minion-love.
"I said DART gun!" "Oh, I was wondering."
But they can't ALL be clones! Every single one we see is different!
P-C,
they made that point that although they looked different, they were all clones. They made this statement specifically in the film.
Okay, well, I still hold that they don't need to be clones to have a hive mind, and that was just added confusion.
Wasn't it important that they were clones because it meant that even though they all looked different, they were being grown in a lab? They were synthetic creatures being sent to destroy us, not random animals stumbling blindly into our universe. And so the design improved the longer the attacks went on.
I'll admit I had a really hard time turning off my brain during all of the kaiju science discussions. Especially the FUCKING DINOSAURS. I MEAN COME ON GUILLERMO.
FTR, no, they did not.
Also, y'all, I am seriously worried about Jeff Bridges' choices lately.
Apart from Tron 2 (which I personally really enjoyed, MAINLY for Bridges) and possibly RIPD, what do you mean? He was great in TRUE GRIT and while I haven't seen it yet, he was supposed to be superb in that film about the dissolute C&W guy.
