Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 8,505 Location: Surfing the Net Atlanta Q&A « Thread Started on Mar 24, 2003, 3:29pm » Ok guys I need your help coming up with a possible list of questions for the Q&A session after the film. Is there anything that you are just dying to ask that can't be resolved by deductive reasoning? (By deductive reasoning I mean....I don't care where the babies come from!!! ) « Last Edit: Apr 16, 2003, 10:05am by JenGe » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented." - Truman Show Xyon Resistance Member member is offline Bestest Joined: Mar 2003 Gender: Male Posts: 35 Re: Questions for Atlanta « Reply #1 on Mar 24, 2003, 5:15pm » do preston and his wife sleep in a bed together or is it seperated (hard to tell with the angles in the film) its not just a rude question its kind of an interesting point. also - where can i go and learn gun katta Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged owner of MorbidBoard.tk - which is also the home of Equilibrium on Morbid.

Actually I can answer this one for you right now since its in the film. They sleep in seperate beds. When Preston wakes he is in a single bed and next to him is another single bed, empty and without bedding. You can see it in this picture from the USA trailer...the bed at the top is hers.

I just love, "The guy's an alien" comment. But like you said I don't know if this is one I want to be told the answer. Some aspects of the film were intentionally left ambiguous and to be hand lead through them by the creator I think would ruin the fun of interpretation. On the other hand though he's mentioned some things on CHUD that just bring up even more questions....Mary...Dupont??? « Last Edit: Mar 25, 2003, 10:47am by JenGe » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented." - Truman Show Sus Grammaton Cleric member is offline Sus has no pic.

I mean constantly, clap all the time, give him gifts etc etc. Ask him if we're ever going to see a soundtrack release, cause so many people loved it. Tell him that we need to see Gun Kata again, in another film. Richard. Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged BMaloney Grammaton Cleric member is offline Mini-Wheats are good for your earbone.

He's just so perfect I couldn't imagine anyone else pulling it off so well. Also why can't we have a EQ2 as it's apparently been stated here will be no sequel, The whole thing cries out for sense offenders to carry on the uprising and exploring the difficulties a society would have with the return of raw emotion after such a long term of abstinance(??).

When Preston points his gun at the screen and states "I'm coming"...(BANG!!)... is that your personal declaration of war on the MPAA or just your way of announcing your first film?

Wymer says he used no "wire-fu" i beleave and i'd like to know how the stunt was done and if Bale did the flip himself. Also, ask him if there's a snowball's chance in hell to see the principle of the film adapted to other mediums such as Graphic novels. I'd sure like to read more "adventures" of Preston as he further fights the old regime. And beg him to sign a deal with sideshow/weta to create a line of costume and weapon replicas for me to spend all my hard earned money on « Last Edit: Apr 2, 2003, 12:15am by Cleric » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged JenGe Evidentiary Storage Officer member is offline "Its just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt."

Does he think it'll increase the popularity of the movie and sell more dvds or does he think it'll hurt profit? What does he think of "internet piracy" in general? Whats he think of someone like me who ment to see the movie in theaters but it never seemed to come out. Eventually I heard the movie was good and downloaded it, now its one of my favorite movies and i'll definitely buy the dvd ?

Well Wimmer already answered part of your question on the CHUD message board... Quote: thanks for chiming in on this whole download issue. For me, it's not an issue of revenue at all - that's the studio's deal. For me, I really just want everyone to see the film in the way that allows them to enjoy it the most. I mean, what fool downloads some cruddy lo-res version of TTT? If I am going to take the time, I want to enjoy it - and that generally means the theater or the best home-theater system I can find. With EQ (I think) the pleasure of the experience lies to a large degree in FEELING the bass of those bullets firing. So, for those who want to download - seriously - why bother? Your time's more valuable than that. Wimmer's comments on downloading @ CHUD I know that may sound a bit harsh but I understand where he's coming from. In fact I'd go so far as to say that the only real way to truly experience any film is in the theater PERIOD (I'm a bit more fanatically ). The reason people are downloading EQ is because moviegoers for the most part were tragically not given this option. I for one hope that all the downloading sends some kind of message to the powers that be who blew it on this one. Since Wimmer has already stated that downloading is not "issue of revenue" for him I'll include your question, "Whats he think of someone like me who (downloaded it though) meant to see the movie in theaters but it never seemed to come out (and just couldn't wait any longer)?" How does that sound?? « Last Edit: Apr 8, 2003, 7:27pm by JenGe » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented." - Truman Show JenGe Evidentiary Storage Officer member is offline "Its just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt."

I think that he would answer that question nearly the same as he did on the CHUD board. I thought of a couple more, I dunno if these are obvious or not but here it goes, or of course if they have already been answered on the CHUD board. (I'll have to spend sime time and read that whole thing.) 1.What happened to the movie? Why such a small opening? 2. Did he feel like maybe he had failed because the movie wasn't allowed to live up to its full potental? Also I did'nt really agree with his answer, I first downloaded a low quality copy and even though it was about 3x3 in's and filmed with a camcorder I still thought the movie was awesome. So I got a near dvd quality one and it was even better. I dunno how to put this into a good question.
