unless, unless, we have the first case of intr-ARG linkage?
Could this be related to the piano-keys face in the Virtua-cube ARG/game?

..
..ok, I'll step away from the forums now :_)

F.O.R.

Maybe it means that the cube is a piece of furniture. Sente just wants his comfy chair back.

Chairs? Everyone loves pillows, my friend.

I see, obviously logic like this is what seperates the ARG newbies from the masters. I bow to you, and your cubic pillow... but mostly the pillow.

"and it was after the war of 5 planets, tha Man went into deep space.

|And it was there....that the Cube was found.

Oh, we've all played it from the outside. And that was easy.

But from the inside....things aren't so simple.

Shifting walls...pound at your concentration.....

every corridor leads...to a different brand of doom.

but for those who can win the cube....is a prize awaiting all...

the treasure of MYthos.....

for those champions...

goes a special place in Cubic history.

Enter...The Cube....

Survive...the unthinkable.

Cube 1 was mildly interesting, more like social engineering. Cube 2 wasnt even a sequel but a remake with the exact same plot.

Didnt see Sphere, read it, nice little story.

If you want a story that takes you on a truly wild ride, get yourself a copy of Being John Malkovich. That is one movie which makes up its own rules and story as it goes along. Kind of a tragedy all around. but still fairly insane...

Sphere

Book good, film bad (a rule with few exceptions)

Film good, book bad (can't think of one...what about The Ten Commandments?... Shocked Silly ).

Anyway, Sharon Stone was only in one good movie and that was only cos of the stunt merkin.

Was that too rude? I should self-censor. How many of you are under-age?

Sphere was ok i guess, i cant stand Dustin Hoffman tho. OR sharon stone but anyhoo.

Cube was ok from what i remember. I cant emagine how they could make the sequel ANY different

i believe he is refering to the basic instinct 'pot-o-gold-shot' which of course shall remain as one of the most sterling moments in film history. for me, the day toupee's got their big acting break.

and here i must elaborate, if easily shocked or on medication, do not rollover:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
merkin - mir-kin - (noun)
A pube wig. Or, the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as 'counterfeit hair for women's privy parts.'
Ex. - "Too much jerkin' the merkin?"

cube was interesting... nothing amazing, but had a nice feel of eerie and a bit of mystery...

Cube, well, classic techno-horror... Cube 2 being a 'remake' and not a sequel, well, half and half... the general plot is the same, but it much more updated... cube explored a shifting 3d cube, where's cube 2 explored the hypercube in 3d space... I found cube 1 more of a horror/thiller, whereas cube 2 I consider more of a sci-fi thriller... it's not so freaky or bloody as it is just intense...

on the 'gladiator' or 'lotr' 10 scale, both are easy ... oh ... 2's maybe... Smile not garbage, but nowhere near top-notch quality. Good to spend away a couple hours if you've got nothing to do hehe

Okay off game but I loved cube. It was made on an incredibly low budget, and apparently only had one set. Lighting was used to make it appear different. It has one of the finest deaths on screen I have ever seen and the ending is quite satisfactory too.
Also it has Nicole de Boer in it. She played Ezri Dax in the last couple of series of Deep Space Nine.

Thats all I'll say cause don't want to be edited!

thebruce: update is from a 3d cubeset to 4d but thats window dressing. The plotline was identical, different people stuck in different rooms of the cube, band together, conflict based on perosnality types, one always being the maniacal killer type, only one person survives out of the cube.

on the otherwise, the wierd cube quote I keep coming up with is actually read by Ken Nordine (Word Jazz) in an arcade laserdisc game called Cube Quest. Every time I think of the cube, that game just pops into the head here Smile....

Movie for you to watch for: Sin-Jin Smyth. Great horror movie with an original plotline. As for the music....message me for details Smile

I meant (and said) the cube 2 explores a hypercube (4D) in a 3D setting (real life)... cube 1 was a shifting 3D cube... cube 1 was more horror because it was a hunt and search with bad guy(s) and bloody death, whereas Cube 2 felt more intellectual because you were also trying to wrap your head around how the cube worked, as well as trying to stay alive. Cube 1 was physical death threat, Cube 2 was mathematical, mysterious, hyper-reality death, with a little bit of physical threat thrown in Smile. Either way, I like them both equally in different ways, but they're not amazing movie... just pretty good for me...
but anyway...
