Collateral

Saturday, July 29, 2006 » movies thought

Whenever I watch a movie I make a point of looking at its IMDb page afterward, because I love that site and all its mindless trivia. And I know that I should expect all sorts of completely random and obsessive stuff on the trivia page, but I still can't help but be a little freaked out when people submit stuff like:

The guns that Vincent carries are a Heckler and Koch (HK) USP .45ACP and a Ruger Mk III .22 with integrated suppressor. Vincent didn't use a silenced USP Tactical or Mk.23 SOCOM as was previously suggested. The silenced pistol was a .22 Long Rifle caliber Ruger Mk III with the upper receiver and barrel replaced with a custom integral silencer.

Sup creepy gun nuts. It's like the guy who almost shot his neighbor through the wall got an IMDb account.

But then, scrolling a few entries down:

The USB flash drive containing Vincent's prep is a PNY Attaché.

Yeah!! USB flash drive enthusiasts unite! There's room for every sort of niche on the Internet.

Oh yeah, about the movie. I really enjoyed Vincent's all greyed-out getup. "I can't tell if it's Tom Cruise or Richard Gere!" It was like regular Tom Cruise was too busy filming The Last Samurai or something, so Michael Mann had to cast his player 2 costume.
