Hey, I came up with a movie theory, goes something like:
If you make a great movie… stop.
First Matrix, clever. First Highlander, guilty pleasure. First Jaws, first Rocky, first Karate Kid… classic! You listening, prima donna auteurs and money-grubbing studio suits? Just stop.
I am waiting for someone to make a movie about the failure of an intimate relationship entitled Part Two.
At least they got the TV series right.
Seinfeld: All of the main characters are in Hell.
In the final episode, Newman actually said to Jerry, “One day soon I shall reveal myself to you in all of my glory!” For some reason this plot thread was completely dropped, and no such revelation took place. In my slightly alternate continuity:
Shot of Newman from behind as he approaches the 4 prisoners in their cell. His head is all red, w/ horns…he merrily intones:
“Enjoying our little stay, are we?”
Jerry flatly intones: “I knew. Somehow, I always knew.”
In the background Kramer has covered his eyes, George his ears, Elaine her mouth.
Final shot is of Newman in full devilish regalia laughing maniacally and evilly. Fade slowly to black.
Trapped in jail and listening to Seinfeld’s jokes would definitely be a diabolical torture.
My Terminator theory is they learned how to hate the humans through watching Boston Dynamics videos. 
As several critics have pointed out, the “Black Mirror” episode “San Junipero” borrows much of its aesthetic from the 90s sitcom “Saved by the Bell.” I think Charlie Brooker used this resemblance to throw in another, more subtle pop-culture reference:
In “San Junipero,” the characters hang out at a restaurant called “Tucker’s.”
On “Saved by the Bell,” the characters hang out at a restaurant called “The Max.”
Put them together and you get…Tucker Max.
And what’s Tucker Max’s most famous book? I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.
Never mind
Arnie Cunningham the main character in Christine is a deliberate reference to Happy Days.
The “God” account from “God Friended Me” is The Machine from “Person Of Interest”, and the “She” referenced at the end of the last episode of “GFM” is Sameen Shaw from POI". They were on the same network, and “GFM” started almost immediately after “POI” finished its run.
Then the Machine moved into the new show “NEXT.”
I might have mentioned this idea earlier in this thread, so apologies if I’m repeating.
I strongly suspect that’s how Larry David originally planned on ending the series but changed it when it turned out many of show’s fans were also predicting it would end that way. Writers don’t like it when fans plot out their story for them.
I always thought the transitional music in Seinfeld - those bass notes - would turn out to be Jerry’s neighbor, an attractive female musician, practicing. In the final episode, as he walks toward his apartment door, he suddenly seems to notice the music for the first time and turns around. They end up dating, but of course it goes badly.
The last scene has Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer in a leaky lifeboat which they use to escape the cruise ship they were on after panicking because of a disaster they caused (but which was actually non-threatening). As they slowly sink into the ocean, the girl bass player watches from the deck and sends them off with one last “deet-deet-de-deet” solo. End of series.
Stephen King has admitted to this one.
I don’t know if this is original — the dots have been around for decades, and I’m guessing someone else has expressly connected them — but, for what it’s worth: what does Superman think of Jor-El?
You know: the brilliant scientist who learned of a danger to his world; and, gosh, if only more people in high places had been deferential to the genius, who knows how many more lives could’ve been saved? I mean, granted, Kal-El got rocketed to safety, which is something, anyway; and Kal-El then grew up to play superhero very differently than, say, Batman does.
Batman’s parents were gunned down by a crook in some alley, and so he cultivates a terrifying persona while hospitalizing criminals before they can commit murder. Okay. Sure. We’re all on the same page there; and the polite and helpful Superman, who showily cooperates with the authorities as if deferential treatment sure is swell, may well count it as the single biggest victory of his career if he could facilitate benefit-of-mankind work from the brow of…
…scientific genius Lex Luthor.
Dr. Strange could have used a time portal to sever the infinity gauntlet from Thanos, but he hated Tony Stark so much that he searched through 14,000,605 alternative futures and even allowed the destruction of his precious time stone just to find a timeline where Stark would kill himself.
Who is the true villain of the MCU?
When I first read this I though nah what’s the difference if Tony was killed by Thanos or killed himself? Then I thought how much of IW2 was about Tony having a great life … now he has something to lose. He even worked it out that despite al the timeline changes HIS life wouldn’t change.
You may be right.
For the Man Who Has Everything
Superman’s fantasy takes a dark turn as his father Jor-El, whose prediction of Krypton’s doom was unfulfilled, has become discredited and embittered. Superman’s mother Lara has died from the “Eating Sickness”, further isolating Jor-El from his family. Even the death of his brother Zor-El has not reconciled Jor-El to his sister-in-law Alura and niece Kara Zor-El.
Kryptonian society undergoes political upheaval, and the disgraced Jor-El has become chairman of extremist movement “the Sword of Rao", calling for a return to Krypton’s “noble and unspoiled” past through the establishment of a totalitarian theocracy under the leadership of Brother Lor-Em.
The Phantom Zone, Krypton’s other-dimensional prison system developed by Jor-El, has become unpopular with the public. Kara Zor-El is assaulted by anti-Zone protesters, for whom the criminal Jax-Ur, sentenced to an eternity in the Zone, is a martyr. Kal-El decides to leave the city, only to witness Jor-El presiding over a political demonstration reminiscent of a Fascist rally, which dissolves into a riot between anti-Zone protesters and the Sword of Rao.
In Shrek 3 there’s several scenes where the villains meet with each other. In one of the scenes the Pied Piper introduces himself and has a couple of lines. I noticed that the Pied Piper isn’t wearing pied in these scenes, he’s wearing all black. The reason? He’s rejected his identity as the Pied Piper and become the Dark Piper.
