So, um, why is it?
It couldn’t be more obvious if the he hit you over the head with it, but I just realized that the singer of Reminiscing IS reminiscing:
Well that’s the way it began, we were hand-in-hand
Glen Miller’s band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And those Porter’s tunes made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
On the way back home I promised you’d never be alone
Because traditionally, every time the werewolf transformation occurs, the clothing is torn, right? Keeps his tailor busy.
Ah. Thanks.
I don’t get the confusion…the Nexus 6’s were newer, I always assumed that they were new enough that Deckard hadn’t dealt with one yet. So yes, a briefing on what’s come out since he retired seems in order.
The Voigt-Kampff test wasn’t designed by Tyrell or the Corporation. He designed the replicants, and seemed interested in knowing about the imperfections that gave them away upon scrutiny (presumably to correct in a Nexus 7 model). Tyrell didn’t seem to particularly want them to be detectable, so each model got better and better to evade the detection methods. The Nexus 6 with the implanted memories was pretty clearly an attempt to subvert the Voigt-Kampff, but ended up only making it more difficult (requiring more questions than before). FWIW, in the book, there was at least one other alternate test measuring a reflex response; which may have ended up being a more effective test as the N6s were getting trickier with faking or displaying some “normal”-enough responses to make the V-K kind of a PITA.
So his tailor does fast repairs, that does not mean his work isn’t shoddy. Not buying it.
I’m not sure if the song “Werewolves of London” is meant to be ironic, amusing or an anology, but I’m pretty sure there’s no deeper meaning to any of the lines.
I didn’t catch this either. I guess I just thought it was a word he picked to kind of sort of rhyme with Mayfair. Plus, Mayfair, being ritzy, would have gents that regularly get their clothes tailored. Or something. The real meaning is so much funnier ![]()
Well, Evil, I’m certainly not 100% sure, and not looking for an argument…I, like WOOKINPANUB, always thought it was tied to the Mayfair gents. He could want to meet his tailor because of his remarkably fast repairs, not because he wants to use him as his own.
Plus, the “ha!/huh!” beforehand makes me think it’s meant as a joke line.
Nice username/post combo there, furryman. ![]()
I always understood it as “I’d like to see who could make clothes for a guy who changes shape.”
Nah, it’s because the werewolf is one dapper dude. And his hair is perfect.
In the MASH episode “Kim,” when the little boy has wandered in the minefield, Hawkeye runs into Radar’s office looking for maps of the minefield - Radar tells him that the minefield maps are filed under “B” for “Boom.” Later, after Blake has directed Trapper halfway through the field with the map, Blake realizes that what he’s holding is a map of Berlin. I’ve seen that episode many times but it was only this year I realized that maps of Berlin are also filed under “B” so it makes sense that the hurried Hawkeye grabbed that map in particular.
Not sure how obvious this is, but I never noticed that Futurama killed off all members of the Waterfall family (over the course of multiple seasons) until I ran across this page at a Futurama wiki.
I think the Waterfall thing is semi-obvious. My husband didn’t notice it at all and I did.
Also with respect to this episode: The butler comes in to change reels on the movie after the murder is committed, and Janet Leigh has just repaired the break in the film.
How could he possibly fail to notice that there was still *lots and lots *of film left on the previous reel, due to the break? For that matter, how could he have started the new reel while the old one still had at least twelve minutes to run?!? :dubious:
:smack:
Since yesterday was Thanksgiving, there were two separate James Bond marathons on television – and on re-watch, sure, 007 picks up a classic British weapon during the big swordfight, but only after his oh-so-English opponent starts wielding a katana. :smack:
I didn’t know that katana were *Korean *weapons.
I figure they still deserve a point for trying. (And I figure they were trying to throw it in as a clue: fault them for half-assing it, but that’s still a solid half.)
Annual viewing of Die Hard. Finally made connection between Hans Gruber and Franz Gruber (Silent Night).
Not sure that’s really a connection.
