Many times I leave the movie on the 5th or 10th viewing and am befuddled at something that happened in it. Sometimes it can be explained by someone who just gets it where I do not, sometimes by someone who has seen the unedited movie, and sometimes the plot point is so silly, it can't be explained. Feel free to add you own "huh?" questions when you get done answering mine.
This week's question for me is, in Werewolf, why is Paul so secretive about the subject matter of the book he's allegedly writing?

They're trying to make him seem all deep and artistic, by not dicussing his book with outsiders who couldn't understand.
In reality, it's probably because it's just "all work and no play make Jack a dull boy" over and over with two thirds of the words misspelled.
You're right, the subject doesn't matter at all.

Because Tony Zarindast didn't want to trouble himself with coming up with something. After all, Paul was made a writer because it enabled him to hang around doing nothing instead of having to go to a job each day. |

"Overdrawn at the Memory Bank." GO. The key to understanding Overdrawn is Flavo-Fibes. Once you unlock that mystery, the whole thing falls together. Flavo-Fibes. And Tooby. |

"Overdrawn at the Memory Bank." GO. This is the the future, where Companies rule the government. Everyone works for the government and buys things and services made by the government. The companies control everything, evne the weather. Artistic expression is discouraged, leaving people just with core animal instincts and yearnings that they are unable to express in the office environment. Facilities are set up where people can go and exercise those urges through simulating the lives of animals. This can also be considered rehabilitation. A man gets caught watching films at work, and for this is sent to one of these facilities because they believe he needs to let lose some of his inner urges. When transferring his consciousness, however, his body gets misplaced. When an emergency occurs during the simulation, he needs to be pulled out, but no body is present. So he's stuck in a cybernetic limbo where he can create whatever universe he wants with in the vast network of programming. Problem is, he can access what ever systems he wants from within this limbo and program them anyway he wants. He creates a universe that parallels his favorite movie, and with the help of the alter egos he envisions for himself, he goes toe-to-toe with the CEO and his computer. With the help of his doctor monitoring him form the inside, he succeeds in screwing up the computer system and giving a large amount of money back to everyone working in the company. He makes films accessible to everyone, and when his body is finally retrieved, he goes into hiding with his doctor. Boom. Someone explain Monster-A-Go-Go to me. |

An astronaut comes back to earth and is mutated by SPACE RADIATION!!! This naturally causes him to go nuts and he's chased by the authorities. Then, because the writers so clearly sucked The Man had them all rounded up and shot. Finally they tacked on an ending from earlier cut establishing shots so they could be in the can by lunch.

Touch of Satan: I've never understood the relationship between the two witch sisters and Luther and Mrs. Walnut Farmer. It's probably explained in the nonMST version; has anyone ever seen it?

Oh!! Yes!! I was also thinking of Touch of Satan. How are all these Stricklands related? How does the curse affect them? Why does Lucille age but Melissa doesn't? Were they both witches before Lucille was burned? And why does having sex with Jodie (ew!) break Melissa free of the curse?

I don't know on Touch of Satan who those people are. Perhaps Lucinda had an affair back when country guys weren't so picky about looks... (shudders)
For anyone who did see the original Japanese TV series that led to Fugitive Alien, what DID happen to the blond wigs? Was there an episode where Rocky decides to go native with his hair, or what?

Were they both witches before Lucille was burned? And why does having sex with Jodie (ew!) break Melissa free of the curse? I do like one of the Brains' explanation for the family situation: "they're a family that owns a witch." Otherwise, I can't figure it out. I believe, however, that Melissa claimed that if Jodie believed her when she said she was cursed, that the power of his love would save her, or something like that. She certainly claimed that his belief in her cursed status would be her salvation. How that works, however, was never explicitly stated. She also didn't realize that breaking the curse would age her instantly. Yeah, like most things in these movies, it didn't fit perfectly. Hey, why wasn't Henry Krasker considered one of the suspects in The Dead Talk Back? If you look at any of the other suspects, Krasker had as much of a motive to kill her as any of them. (Except the actual murderer when the story came out at the end) The prospect of getting a subject for his controversial research was easily as believable a motive as the guy who loaned her small sums of money that may not have been repaid. |

What exactly was Trumpy's evil twin doing to all its victims? (Aside from killing them, I mean.)

See? See? It's not just me. Nobody knows why all the victims had those glowing things on their faces!
