Ein Kessel Buntes

Cool Antarctica liefert eine Menge interessanter Informationen über die Antarktis sowie eine große Bildergallerie.

Nichts wirkt so angestaubt wie die futuristischen Designs vergangener Jahrzehnte- davon könnt Ihr Euch bei Tales of Future Past anhand von Science Fiction-Illustrationen aus den 50ern und ähnlichem ausgiebig selbst überzeugen.

Roger Eberts Glossar zu verschiedenen ehernen Gesetzen des Films:

Camel, Slow-Moving
All camels in Middle Eastern thrillers are crossing the road for the sole purpose of slowing down a pursuit vehicle.

Cooter Rule, The
When the young good-looking hero goes back to his boyhood farmhouse, he'll inevitably have a fight at the dinner table with an older, less attractive brother. The fight is usually about abandoning the farm and "Spitting on Daddy's memory" or the hero's annoying use of correct grammar. The hero storms out of the house, and sits down on a fence in the backyard. He is followed by his sweet, long-suffering sister-in-law. She says, "Trap, you're gonna have to forgive Cooter/Hunter/Trip/Billy Bob. He loves you. He don't mean nothin'. It's just his way, is all."

Rising Sidewalk
No female character in an action film can flee more than 50 feet before falling flat on her face. Someone then has to go back and help her up, while the monster/villain/enemy gains ground.
