I have to admit that all this talk has moved me to rent TR. Watching it again for the first time in two years I noticed a few things of minor interest. 1. How about all that doggone corporate plugging! I don't think that I go to far to say that this flik has the most corporate plugs since 2001. What do you think? Was this simply an effort to create a sense of realism: or is it blatant money-grubbing. 2. In a similar vein, did anyone notice that on Earth there were Coke ads everywhere, and that on Mars there were only Pepsi ads? Hmmmmmm . . . 3. When Quaid & Laura are eating breakfast, did anyone notice the ESPN ad on the TV? Who was playing? The Tokyo Samurais and *gasp* the Toronto Blue Jays. As a Braves fan I find this prophetic, yet sad. 4. Finally, a word about the dome-puncturing bullets. Who fired them? Agency people, and we all know that Intelligence entities always navigate around SOP's and other regulations "in the interest of security." In this light, I think that scene is more plausible. (my roomate deduced this, not me.) For what it's worth, Buck Jordan [log in to unmask]
