4. My grandson and granddaughter got prizes for something like this
last weekend. They use legos for the most imaginative things!

Damned if I know what that means, Canuck! But I hope it helps their final grades at college.

Unless someone tells me about it quickly, I'll give it a big fat "F"!

3. I'd try to explain...
but I think "A Three-Dimentional Summary of the plot of 'Fight Club', using Lego" sums the whole thing up pretty nicely.

5. Always heard
U-Chicago was a 'quirky' school.

This pretty much confirms it. But maybe someone can compare the chapter menu of the DVD to those LEGOs.

7. There are two sort of problems here. One is, "movement" and
Edited on Wed Jun-21-06 04:27 AM by sfexpat2000
"intensity" are subjective, so comparing the film to the whatchamacallit won't necessarily tell you much. And it looks like a long-Leggo'd way to say "unreliable narrator" to me anyway.

Also, there should be a fourth set, to represent all the information you have, after putting what the narrator tells and what you see for yourself that the narrator doesn't tell, in a different color -- in other words, the white and blue blocks in only one color.

8. It must be a lego graph of the movie "Fight Club"
I guess it must be whatever the person making the graph is representing from the movie. It could be dialog or maybe the actual actions that each "role" takes during each scene of the movie. I have never seen the flick myself. :shrug:

9. What part of "A Three-Dimensional Summary of the plot of 'Fight Club' "
do you not understand?

Whatta we have to do to explain it to you- Use LEGOS?
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

OMG that's funny- the fact that someone spent so much time
to construct a THREE-dimensional "plot diagram" of such
an utterly ONE-dimensional film!

What's next, an explanation of the metaphysical subtext
of 'Smokey and the Bandit II' using sock-puppets?

15. That's really "Office Space." The dumbass mislabeled it.
It's an understandable mistake, since the two films have such similar plots, but somebody at the University of Chicago should know better.
