Oh right. Like ‘A Sound of Thunder’.
There’s a fine line between trauma and alteration. :rolleyes:
A truly crappy time travel movie. I really wanted to like it, too. 
I like the music.
Oh SNAP! He did the music also. What a talented guy! Did I know that already? I don’t know.
It seems more complicated than this.
Oh. I wasn’t talking about the movie. I was talking about the short story. I never saw the film.
I saw the trailer before some movie (I don’t remember which). I remember being interested in the trailer and wanting to see the film. Then, I just forgot about it. I didn’t remember until I looked on the guest-this-week Dr. Ron Mallett’s website and saw it their. I had even read the short story a few months back and forgot there was a movie. Me brain no work. Too many time travels.
Yeah. It gets more complicated when they start taking boxes into the box with them. You step out and go back in, and step out and go back in, and step out and go back in, and step out and go back in…
That’s more like it. 
So, there are three of you.
'talos 1 - turns thingy on, goes to hide
'talos 2 - gets in the box, exits other side, goes about daily life
'talos 3 - goes back in time, wreaks havoc!
I still don’t know what was the deal with Mr. Granger.
I’m pretty sure all three would be wreaking havoc.
Yeah, it’s kind of unclear. Depending on how many loops and paradoxes they created, virtually anything could happen in their timeline. Maybe he caught wind of it after the fact. Maybe he was involved the first time through. They’d only know whatever happened in their own personal, individual histories.
I think my brain’s bleeding too. :eek:
Wikipedia has a surprisingly thorough run-through of the plot and trivia. It’s definitely helping me point a few points into better perspective.
Whether it involved the history of the number zero or the invention of the transistor, two things stood out to me. First is that the discovery that turns out to be the most valuable is usually dismissed as a side-effect. Second is that prototypes almost never include neon lights and chrome. I wanted to see a story play out that was more in line with the way real innovation takes place than I had seen on film before.
