It does make sense scientifically too. Cells divide and divide. That’s what they do. How then does a cell then die? It’s in telomeres. Each time a cell divides small part of telomere shaves off each time.
Telomeres at end of chromosomes protect the dna from the cell structure and prevent it from clipping off the genes and causing havoc. It’s like having a cell divide and then lose chunks of information that mutate you.
Now with normal aging these telomeres shrink more and more to the point the cell just dies when it divides as the telomere is eroded.
But what if in a statistical fluke someone is born who has some condition or such that causes the telomeres to not erode each time cell divides? Or maybe it’s so thick that instead of cell dying at normal rate it is slowed say 20x or 30x. I.e. a human with life span of 80-90 can now live for 1600-1800years assuming 20x slow down of cell decay? Or assuming 25x that’s 2000y-2250y?
That’s within reach of Jesus now.
This is all possible in realm of science too if we can figure out how to protect telomeres and have it regen each time cell divides so you can live very very long or be basically immortal.
It could be possible he was injected some serum by some alien or he ate some perfect combo of foods that acted like a natural signal to cells to regen telomeres before division or whatever. Just some random chance fluke that happened when he was at near his midpoint prime around 35y old.
It’s all perfectly possible now. Scientifically
Couple of things I thought more were -
* how is it that the old Maya disappeared when the machine exploded with young Maya but somehow old and young Adam still were around for some time before both disappeared? What governed that and how?
* I already mentioned the odd magnetization behavior (bullet in the gun doesn't get super attracted to the core but once fired it does at high speed. what?) but what about all the other metal and other stuff on the people? How is that those things display weird magnetic behavior?
I still maintain the silliness of the movie and yet it is is fun enough to still remain entertaining. (switch your brain off type movie clearly)
Doesn’t matter. She destroyed that TV show too.
The only thing she equalized is a box of donuts.
Well this movie is for the intellectual person and I can understand those not highly educated would not like it.
They also vote a certain way for an 80y old who spews bs. While smarter educated people who like the message of the movie can understand and appreciate it better and vote for progress and younger generation to propel us forward to solutions.
Didn’t watch it but I will.
Also this movie was more like “Pretty whore. Working on the street. Pretty whore. The kind I like to beat to. Pretty whore”.
And what are we to make of Richard Gere. He’s a powerful acquisition expert destroying companies and going around banging whores. Not even expensive escorts. Just cheap ones on the street.
I mean. They’re not really role models for anything other than debauchery and bad behavior and disloyalty and selling out for a buck.
I mean he really will marry her? And then he’ll be bored of her in a week and then go around picking whores up again. And what will she do? Go right back.
Now that I watched it a few times I’ve begun to immensely dislike the whole concept of the movie.
In the 1980s or early 1990s Pierce Brosnan would have been perfect as Mr. Smith. He even sorta looks like him and has that boyish charm and aura.
Margot Kidder in her prime (aka as she looked in Superman 1) would have been perfect as Clarice Saunders.
In early 2010s I would say someone like Henry Cavill would have been great. Not sure about Saunders but maybe Amy Adams is close enough. She is very lovely for the part but is a bit more sweet than the Saunders' strength.
I would definitely love a well made remake with love and being true to the cause of the movie and also maybe continuing it a bit to show what happened afterwards which was always left unsatisfying to me.
I would think these would have happened -
* Sen Paine resigns after spilling the beans and a committee is formed to investigate
* nothing happens from the committee except to say Sen Paine has resigned and everything is now behind them
* Willett Creek Dam is pulled from the Deficiency Bill and rest of it passes as the Willett Creek part is investigated
* Senate committee finds nothing on this (despite all evidence) and gives in to regular business
* nothing else happens from there as Sen Smith eventually just resigns.
* Gov Happy appoints 2 new James Taylor Senators
* James Taylor lies low for next few months till the election and then his 2 stooges get elected by James Taylor $$$
* James Taylor is definitely set back due to this and the Willett Creek Dam graft part dies and they devise a new plan for getting rich from govt contracts but it will now take time
* A year or two later, one of the 2 new Senators is now the new stooge of Taylor but a lot of time and money has been lost and some of Taylor's friends pull out. Willett Creek was a flop now and Taylor has lost a lot of his clout.
* Ex-Sen Smith is back with his scouts/boys and is a hero in his state but he ultimately disappears into his own personal life
* Politics and corruption, rotten dealings, bad lobbying are all back in Senate
Alexandra Daddario is goddess level beauty. And a good actress too.
Esp in her prime she was 10/10 for hair, 10/10 for eyes, 10/10 for face, 10/10 for rack, 10/10 for figure and overall a 10/10 level beauty.
The only ones in her league imo were Elisha Cuthbert and Alice Eve, 2 other goddess level beauty actresses.
Both statements are true. Charnier escaped to Marseilles. Charnier was never caught.
He was shot dead. It does not make it inconsistent but in fact makes it even more accurate.
He fell into the lake and is eaten by fishes and rotted away at the bottom of it.
Also no one would report he’s missing or fell overboard. It’s over.
And later when she defeats Poison Ivy and Batman says "and you are?" As she's like standing there looking exactly like Barbara with a small mask on her face and 95% exposed like Robin so you can clearly tell who she is. Ahahahahaha
And she says "Bruce it's me Barbara" and he says "she knows who we are".
Ahahahahaha. Greatest Detective indeed. Hahaha.
