Did Roma and Lingk meet for the first time at the bar/restaurant or did they arrange to have a business meeting there? Am I the only one who thought that Daniel Plainview had a very similar vibe to Timothy Dalton's James Bond? Did anybody else notice that Bond did not wear a tie at all throughout the film? (Aside from the tuxedos he wore) What was up with Willy flipping out on his son while they are play fighting during the dinner scene at Willy's house? Am I the only one who thinks this movie felt like one of the Roger Moore 007 films from the 80s? Is it just me or is Han noticeably a lot more hot-headed and irascible throughout this movie? Did Kimble's dry sense of humor play a role in the cops suspecting him of the murder? How was Ford's buzz cut supposed make him look "wimpy"? What was Deckard doing to financially sustain himself after he quit his job/before he was forced to return? View all posts >

The thing is, we never see what all happens when Levene talks with the cop in Williamson's office. Williamson has no proof. Yes, Levene most likely was finished when it came to working for Mitch and Murray, but it is totally logical to assume that he dodged getting charged with any crime due to Williamson simply pointing a finger a Levene. De Niro. I mean, Max Dembo and Neil McCauley are very similar individuals. Donovan was worse. Yes, Vogel was a sadistic SOB and a Nazi's Nazi, yet at least he didn't put on an act and stab anybody in the back. Donovan was a traitor's traitor. Seeing Donavan, an American, wearing a swastika lapel pin was a detail that really was effective in showing how evil his character really was. That and the fact he shot the original James Bond with a Walther PPK really added to how easy it was to hate the Donovan character even more. Well that I can understand, especially if a person is working a job that can be grim like that. In this film though, everybody was idly standing around the guy who was collapsed while drinking booze and discussing the bets lol Yup, I see Deckard as a human: for me, the story carries more weight that way. Having said that, I have always liked the idea of the notion of him being a replicant being teased/suggested - yet I still maintain that he is and was a human. Part of the brilliance and beauty of the film: Sam is a man who prides himself on his attention to detail, yet his personal life is the part of his being in which attention to detail always takes a back seat. Re-watched that scene after seeing your response: the feds simply refer to him as "Dr. Jones." When Indy and Marcus chat in the previous scene, Marcus calls him "Indiana" when he is venting about Belloq taking the golden idol from him. It leads me to wonder if Indy legally changed his name from "Henry" to "Indiana" and then re-changed it after he reconnected with Henry Sr? Oh wow - one can see how several of these hat designs were pre-cursors to the cowboy style hats of the 1800s Great point - I mean, they would have hired him on to be the host of a 4th of July event in DC or commissioned him to go on a speaking tour to high schools about the dangers of sports related brain injuries that would promote safety practices amongst the youth of the nation. Man, Rocky V is plothole city. Do you mean the Scottish lords who Longshanks bribed to bail on Wallace? View all replies >
