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.

I still want to know why the watermelon was in the vise.
Remember the scene in Airplane! where the watermelon fell outta nowhere onto the desk? Same watermelon! Time- and dimension-traveling experimental watermelon. Top secret.
That actually makes sense, in this case.
What you see in the Critical Stress Lab is a revolutionary watermelon capable of withstanding impact pressures of 300,000 pounds per square inch! Sweet, juicy and vitamin-packed, this remarkable fruit can be dropped from the bomb bays of low-flying aircraft into the backyards of disenfranchised villagers in the remotest backwaters of this angry planet. Just another Team Banzai effort to cut through all the unnecessary crap around us and help people help themselves. Look for high-impact, low cholesterol eggs next... and sooner than you think, shatter-proof whole-wheat taco shells.
Alternative explanation: they wanted to find out if one of the producers (I think?) was still watching the dailies.
Bladerunner is on. What a depressing movie.

I never thought it was depressing. When I lived in Boston I saw it just about quarterly at some rep theater. I loved going to that world.
It gives me claustrophobia. It's dark and cluttered and everyone is sad and crazy.

I think that's the point.
It gives me claustrophobia. It's dark and cluttered and everyone is sad and crazy.
And I wanted to live in that world. Probably why I moved to San Francisco.
