I had to look online to figure out what the hell I had just watched. I had absolutely no clue.
The gangster movie with Jack Nicholson and the rat drawing, can't remember the name of it. I've watched that one twice and I still don't get it.
Just looked it up. The Departed. It baffles me.

1408. Another great King story.

Towards the end of the film you can hear the operator on the other end of the phone say something like "even if you get out of this room, you'll never leave".

I took that to mean that at the very end of the movie it's just another con job, he's really still in the room.

Airplane!

I mean, if they were out of fuel, and just belly landed the plane, how did Otto-pilot take off in the plane again?

More important...did the guy in the cab ever get to where he was going?

The scene was originally in the movie, but pulled out at the last second.

A classic, forever!

Total Recall - Is Arnold really on Mars with the girl and the atmosphere, or is he back on earth, spending the rest of his life as a vegetable?

There is a guy on youtube that gives a pretty good guess at this one (since no one can really decipher Stanley K). He walked through a lot of SK's work. Some I agreed with and some I didn't... With 2001ASO I liked his version. He explains that we evolve each time we discover the black singing rectangle, and at only those points throughout the movie do we ever hear the stone "singing" except for two other times. One is at the intermission while stairing at a black screen, and the other is at the end while going through the light show. The blank movie screen at intermission is actuall the black rectangle turned sideways and the audience (us) is evolving, and half way though the light show it also turns "sideways" to tie in the movie screen as the monument and give us a clue that we are part of the story.

Yup. The monolith has the exact same dimensions as movie screens did at that time (no idea if the ratios have been changed since the film was created).

I can buy that. Pretty good explanation.

I've never watched the series or the prequel movie. I hear it does tie up some loose ends for the series. Netflix has the movie for anyone who's interested.
