Meaning of life = 42 = 4+2 = 6 = love
I know this topic has been brought up in other threads... like the tie into Douglas Adams' book The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy...
But the reason I made this particular equation actually has a numerological meaning.
In numerology 42 means: a time of Karma, Providence, and the evolution of the spirit, often representing a period of suffering and testing, along with the antagonism between spirit and matter.
Hmm... that kinda sounds alot like what life really is like...
So in numerology, you always break down larger numbers, by adding them together. Thus it becomes 4+2 = 6
In numerology guess what 6 means? .... Love.
And once one realizes that simple truth, it will set your soul free. Love is what powers the universe/life/consciousness/the quantum/everything.
And yes... people have suggested that this was a play on Douglas Adams' idea about the Meaning of Life is 42, considering Douglas Adams was a self-proclaimed "radical atheist".
And they say: Who knew that the Universe/God/Goddess/Collective Consciousness/Divine Source/, had a sense of humor?
But I'm here to tell you: It/He/She/They/We do.

Mickey Mouse (Fun House), Funny is a timelord
In Mickey Mouse Fun House, Funny is timelord that is currently in a cartoon world/dimension and the "house" in fun wood forest is his tardis. The house can turn into anything and travel as needed around and as shown when Mickey and his crew visit the house while Funny isn't there, is not actually Funny's body. In that episode it is also shown that it can still take them places without Funny being present. So the ability to travel is held within the house/tardis, not with Funny himself.
Funny in this world doesn't have a physical body, but can follow around possessing other things to follow his current companions. The stairs to anywhere are how he travels in this dimension instead of appearing and reappearing like the Dr and his tardis do in our world. He seems to be more observational of his companions than the Dr, but that is probably a personality trait.

Could R2-D2 Be an Unreliable Narrator, and the Jedi Never Actually Had Powers?
I have a theory that Star Wars is actually told from R2-D2’s perspective, and all the parts of the story where he’s not directly involved are heavily embellished—or even completely made up. What if the Jedi never actually had supernatural powers and were just a religious order with great training and influence, but over time, their story became mythologized into what we see in the movies?
George Lucas has even hinted at this idea. In a 2005 interview, he mentioned that the entire Star Wars saga is essentially being recorded and told from R2-D2’s perspective. This makes sense, considering R2 is one of the only characters present throughout the entire story and never gets his memory wiped—unlike C-3PO, who loses his memories at the end of Revenge of the Sith. That means R2 is the one carrying the full history of everything that happened, or at least his version of it.
But here’s where it gets really interesting: R2-D2 is never actually present for the most iconic Force power moments. Think about it—every time we see someone use the Force to move objects, do mind tricks, or pull off impossible stunts, R2 isn’t there. He’s either separated from the action, knocked out, or focused on his own tasks. So what if all those legendary Jedi feats were just stories that grew over time? After all, Star Wars takes place “A long time ago,” and when we look at how history works in the real world, ancient stories often become exaggerated, mythologized, or even completely fabricated—like Jesus turning water into wine.
Maybe the Jedi were just a highly trained religious order, but as their legend spread, people started believing they had actual magic powers. And since the entire story is ultimately told through R2-D2’s lens, the movies might not be a documentary of what really happened, but rather an epic, exaggerated retelling of events.
What do you think? Could R2-D2 be the reason the Jedi seem godlike in the Star Wars story? And does the fact that he never actually sees Force powers in action suggest they were just myths that evolved over time?

The answer to life, the universe, and everything. 42. But what was the question?!
So here's my theory.
I think that the secret behind the question to the answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, in hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, is way way way more mundane than everyone thinks.
I think that Douglas Adams wrote the question right into the book, right in the open for everyone to see, and the reader was supposed to put two and two together, but, importantly, no one got the joke, which is, obviously, and clearly, vastly funnier. When one of Trillian's mice turned to the other and said "let's just say the Question is 'how many roads must a man walk down?'", and the other one replied "yeah that works for me," I think that was meant to be the actual culmination of Deep Thought's computer.
I can just imagine Douglas Adams sitting in his bath all afternoon thinking how all of life on Earth had pretty much been leading up to humans, and all of human history was pretty much leading up to Bob Dylan's 'The Answer Is Blowing In The Wind', and, how, if you think about it, that pretty much means that the entire POINT of the Earth was just to create that song. As if it were an almighty computer calculating for eons just to come up with that song.
And it's lyrics are perfect for that. How many roads must a man walk down? Easy. 42. That's a concrete philosophy a man can get behind. We're talking about life, the universe, and everything, in a really real way, aren't we? How many times must the cannon balls fly? There you go again, 42.
The entire Earth is just a massive computer program going for millions of years just to calculate the number 42.
And I can imagine him having a chuckle about that and maybe drifting off to sleep a bit. And just as he was falling asleep, he thought to himself, "oh my god, imagine if you were the people who'd been RUNNING that program, waiting all that time, actually being the ones to learn the answer, and finding out the answer was 42 all along!
And then he laughs so hard someone has to come and check he's ok.
So, along with a hundred other equally puerile pointlessly genius two liner jokes scattered through the HHG2TG book series, he put that obvious joke into the book, with the obvious answer written right there, right out in the open.
Only, the trouble is, despite being one of the most widely respected authors of all time, and equal first place as my favourite author, it has to be said, the man was a terrible author. Zero character development, and I mean zero. No plot, none. No message or allegory or structure or journey for the reader. Just an endless and relentless stream of bewilderingly good prose.
It's not at all hard to believe that Douglas Adams just totally fluffed it, thought he'd made it obvious but in reality made it far too obvious and everyone assumed he was smarter than that. No! Him submitting copy to the publisher with errors and inadequately closed loops is the most likely scenario!
I reckon that the question to the answer, 42, of life the universe and everything really is "how many roads must a man walk down?" and the instant that the whole 42 thing became a cultural phenomenon he knew it would be the funniest thing ever to just shut up about it. Never tell.
He told one person about it, Stephen Fry, who swears that the secret would die with him, and that we are to trust him, it really is funnier not knowing the question, and as far as I know that's the only clue that Douglas ever left us with - that the real joke was actually lame and we wouldn't be glad to learn the true question.
That's it. That's my theory.

My theory about “The Fridge”.
The Amazing World Of Gumball: season 2 ep 4 ("The Fridge")
This is the theory: "The Fridge" takes place during Gumball and Rob's rivarly. And Nicole in this episode is Rob in disguise.
Tests:
1) Nicole treats Gumball like her parents did to her and she hated it (as we saw in "The Parents");
2) Nicole acted a lot more calm about everything than usual until the end and she punta Gumball to a lot of difficult things like Rob would want as it would be Gumball thought pain. So, at the end of the episode, when Nicole accepts the defeat, in paintball match, but then shoot Gumball and then walks to home with the family it might be Rob trying to plot a secret attack.

[Theory] Ending Scene with Dr. Brand Isn't in the Present — Cooper Might Find Her Dead Body
In the final scene of ***Interstellar***, we see Dr. Brand on Edmund's planet setting up camp. Most people assume this happens **80+ years after Cooper sacrifices himself**. But based on Brand’s **age**, the **lack of time dilation on Edmund's planet**, and some other clues, I believe this scene actually takes place **right after Cooper’s sacrifice**, not in the future. This changes everything — including the possibility that Cooper might have found Brand *alive or dead* depending on how her mission went.
**This is just the surface**—there’s a full breakdown of timelines, evidence, and possible outcomes below. Trust me, it gets wild.
So I just re-watched *Interstellar* and fell into a black hole of thinking about the ending. Everyone seems to agree that the final scene with Dr. Brand — where she’s setting up camp on Edmunds' planet — happens in the *present*, meaning **80+ years after Cooper sacrifices himself**.
But I think this might not be true. Hear me out.
# The Timeline We’re Given (Quick Recap):
* Cooper sacrifices himself into Gargantua to help Brand escape and transmits quantum data to Murph.
* Cooper is pulled into the tesseract by “them” and then wakes up 80-90 years later on Cooper Station.
* Murph is now old and tells Cooper on her deathbed:
>"No parent should watch their child die. Go, find Brand."
* Then we see Dr. Brand on Edmunds’ planet setting up camp — and the movie ends.
# The Assumption Everyone Makes:
* The Brand scene is in the *present* — 80+ years after Cooper’s sacrifice.
* She’s succeeded in Plan B and humanity is now colonizing.
BUT — **What if this scene is actually a flashback** to right after Cooper sacrificed himself?
# My Theory: Brand Scene Happens Right After Cooper’s Sacrifice
# Let’s crunch the numbers:
* Murph is about 10-12 years old when Cooper leaves Earth.
* When Cooper wakes up, Murph is **around 90+ years old** (realistically 88-100), meaning **about 80-90 years have passed** for humans.
Now here’s the kicker:
* In the final Brand scene, she looks **exactly as young as she did on the Endurance**, despite **80 years supposedly passing**.
# Key Detail: Edmunds' Planet Has NO Time Dilation
* The movie clearly explains time dilation for **Miller’s planet** (1 hour = 7 Earth years), but **NOT for Edmund's planet**.
* No mention = we assume **no significant time dilation**.
* Therefore, **Brand should have aged normally** during those 80 Earth years.
So… **why does she still look like she’s 30-something?**
If it’s truly 80 years later, she should be **110+ years old** or dead.
# This Means Two Possibilities:
# Theory 1: Brand Scene = Present (80 Years Later)
* But then she should be old or dead.
* Yet she’s **young**, making this theory sketchy.
# Theory 2: Brand Scene = Past (Right After Cooper’s Sacrifice)
* She reaches Edmunds’ planet shortly after the black hole scene.
* She sets up camp, maybe within a **month or two**.
* The scene we see is **right at this point**, not 80 years later.
This means **Cooper might still be on his way to her**, and **we don’t know what he’ll find**.
# Two Branches from Here:
# Possibility 1: Brand Succeeds
* She raises embryos, builds a colony.
* Cooper finds her **alive but old**, tells her everything.
# Possibility 2: Brand Fails
* Something goes wrong — she dies.
* Cooper finds **her dead body**, realizing Plan B failed and Brand died without knowing Plan A worked.
If my theory that Dr. Brand’s scene is in the **past** is correct, then both of these outcomes (and any others) are **on the table** — it’s all **up to speculation**.
# Why This Matters:
* Adds emotional depth and uncertainty.
* Reminds us not all endings are happy.
* Nolan didn’t confirm the timeline — **leaving it open on purpose?**
# Additional Evidence for the Theory:
* In the final scene, Brand is still wearing her **Endurance spacesuit**, **completely unchanged** — like, not even a scratch or upgrade after supposedly **spending 80+ years building a
The Fifth Wall (Theory)
We usually talk about the fourth wall — the idea that the “client” (the viewer) is watching what’s being staged, and that the characters “exist” inside a room, and the fourth wall is the one we look through to see the scene.
But I think there’s something else beyond that.
The fifth wall would be the ceiling — a point of view where you can see not only the scene being presented, but also the reaction of the client watching it.
To “see from the fifth wall” means to observe both the narrative that’s being presented and the reaction that narrative is supposed to provoke, and then to question whether that reaction is truly yours, or if it’s the one intended by the director or creator.
In other words:
“Am I feeling this because it’s real? Or because I was meant to?”
It’s a form of awareness that goes beyond simply “breaking the fourth wall.”
I think it’s awareness of the emotional manipulation of the audience.
It’s not just watching a character look at the camera — it’s watching yourself reacting to that character, and asking:
“Is this the reaction I want to have? Or the one they wanted me to have?”
The fifth wall is not inside the story — it’s above the story, and above the viewer.
It’s the point where perception judges itself.
I don’t know if this has already been theorized, if somebody knows please tell me so I can do some research on it ?
I wanted to post this on r/truefilms but I just created my account and i cant post there yet so i thought maybe it would be nice in this community (I dont really know how reddit works)

Molly Actually Died in the Bridge Collapse, But Sam Never Saw It
Most fans believe Molly was never on Death’s list in Final Destination 5 because she survived the bridge collapse. But what if she was supposed to die, and Sam just never saw it in his premonition?
The Theory:
In every Final Destination movie, Death follows an order based on the premonition. But here’s the twist—Sam’s vision cut off before he could see Molly’s death because he died first. If she was meant to die on the bridge, then saving her disrupted Death’s order, not in a special way, but simply because Sam didn’t know she was next.
This means:
1. Molly was marked all along—she wasn’t an exception.
2. Her bridge death happened after Sam’s vision ended, so he never saw it.
3. Her death on Flight 180 wasn’t a random kill—it was just Death finishing what should have already happened.
Supporting Clues:
Sam only saw part of the bridge collapse—we don’t know if Molly died after he fell.
No one in the series ever truly escapes—Molly dying later proves she was marked.
Death’s design was never broken, just delayed.
So, was Molly’s survival just an accident caused by an incomplete premonition? Or did Death deliberately let her think she escaped?Molly Actually Died in the Bridge Collapse, But Sam Never Saw It

The office, Scranton strangler theory.
A know theory about the office is that Toby, was possible the Scranton strangler. He was gone when the chase was on, and the car used in the chase has been seen at the office park before. Now, in 2002 I think there was a serial sniper. The guy killed like 6 people injured 12. They were completely random. People at gas stations, bus stops grocery stores. He did this so that when he eventually killed his ex (because he didn’t want to pay child support) there would be no connections. My thought is that Toby is doing the same thing. Killing random people so that, when he kills Michael, there is no connection due to him being his boss. Just a thought lmk your opinions and thoughts.

E até que faz sentido pois no início, vemos Julie com o cabelo longo, e no episódio final, Julie aparece com o cabelo um pouco menor e com um machucado no rosto, e um pouco antes do episódio acabar, aparece uma cena da Julie conversando com o Itan (o irmão mais novo dela) sobre ter ido parar em outro lugar e tudo mais, e o Itan fala que ela é uma "visitadora de histórias" e diz que ela pode voltar em capítulos da história, mas não pode modificá-los! O que faz a teoria fazer sentido, por que ela pode ter voltado em um capítulo e ter ficado presa lá por um certo tempo, por isso seu cabelo está menor e ela está com um corte no rosto...

In Inception, the totem has to fall at the end!
In Inception, Cobb returns to the initial state, which it's assumed his reality (Regardless of whether it is the case or not). Earlier in the movie, whenever he was in this particular state/version (Again, it doesn't matter if it's a dream or reality), the totem fell. Based on this, the totem should fell eventually, like it did before in this state.
I am not arguing about whether he is dreaming or not, but since he returned to the initial state in which the totem usually falls, it should also at the end. Am I missing something?

Molly Was Always Meant to Die in Final Destination 5, But We Just Didn't See It
A lot of people think Molly was the only character to escape Death in Final Destination 5 since she survived the bridge collapse. But what if she was never actually meant to survive?
Here’s my theory: Molly did have a scheduled death, but we just didn’t see it happen because Sam died first. In every Final Destination movie, Death follows an order. If someone escapes, Death eventually comes back for them. Since Sam and Molly ended up on Flight 180, we see Sam die—but the movie cuts away before showing Molly's fate.
That means she was always doomed. Either she died instantly in the explosion, or maybe she had another unseen, ironic death before that. Either way, she was never actually safe.
Could there be clues in the movie that hint at her unseen death? What do you guys think?

Madoka Magica The world has been created/seeded by Kyubey
So in Madoka Magica Kyubey needs to make contracts with girls to make magical girls who when becoming witches create energy to stave off the heat death of the universe.
We have seen that Kyubey is effectively infinite and some kind of hivemind. They can also cause miracles when making contracts. However we have seen this to be more like some kind of tech for them.
I believe that their power isn't limited to when contracts are made. But rather, they don't see a point in giving out anything without a contract.
I don't think it would be hard for Kyubey to create an Earth like planet and seed it with some humans, maybe control a bit in how the society forms to have a higher success with good magical girls.
I don't even think that this is the only planet they are doing this on. After all, they'd want to be safe in case something wipes out their only measure to keep the universe running.
This is also why they were so easily ready to sacrifice the entire planet for the power Madoka provides. Because to them, the planet and all the humans on it, are nothing but an investment that is paid off should Madoka become a witch.

The Sopranos, and a pineapple under the sea
It’s hard to write a finale, we are all on the same page there. Most shows, regardless of pedigree or prestige, fail to stick the landing. The Sopranos will always be mentioned in all-time finale conversations, not necessarily because the landing was stuck but because it stands relatively alone in its…let’s call it “uniqueness”. Some find it a fitting end to Tony’s story and some consider it a bit of a cop out given the ultimate lack of finality it presents. But what if I told you it isn’t a fitting end or a cop out, but a rip off?
Five years before America tuned into the Sopranos finale to learn Tony’s fate, another generation tuned in on May 10, 2002 to finally learn the truth about one of the most elusive and exciting secrets in TV history - the true nature of the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. This is of course the air date of “Kristy Krab Training Video”, which promised viewers the recipe would be revealed at the end of the episode. After 11 minutes of typical Bikini Bottom shenanigans and pro-employer propaganda, SpongeBob is ready to finally learn the recipe.
“Are you ready?” asks the narrator, followed by an “Are you sure?” to exploit even more anticipation from its audience.
“Okay! The Krabby Patty Secret Formula i-“
Cut to black.
Similar to the Sopranos finale, many of us assumed our television sets experienced some sort of glitch. As a child, it took me probably 3 rewatches to understand the rug pull I’d been subjected to.
My theory is that David Chase caught wind of this episode, despite his declared hatred of television, and began to navigate his story in a direction which would end the same way the Krusty Krab training video. The audience wants a concrete conclusion? Even the folks over at Nickelodeon knew the truth - there are no concrete conclusions in life, whether you’re flipping burgers or heading a criminal empire.
The first season to premiere after the KKTV is season 4. We can argue to death when Tony’s spiral truly begins, but I would argue S4. His marriage begins to crumble, his crew begins to doubt him, and his relationship with NY starts to crack as well. This is because David Chase finally established where he wanted to take Tony by the end of the series thanks to the KKTV, and it was time to set that ending in motion.

In the howling five the rebirth, Mary Lou is possessed by Satan
Certain Legends hint that the devil can turn into a werewolf. It is highly possible that the transformation is involuntary and Mary Lou has no control. In essence, she's trapped in her own body with no idea what is going on. Her smiling at the end is not her, it is possession. It is quite possible that something else is controlling her. It is my theory that the werewolf inhabiting the castle is not Mary Lou but something much older and darker. It is quite possible that a demon killed the real Mary Lou and is puppeteering her dead body. Thoughts?
I assume you want proof to back up these claims: she wakes up with no memory of what happened. We've seen the same thing happen in supernatural and other horror movies regarding spirits and demons, the possessed have no recollection or memory. It is quite possible that her and the werewolf are a separate entity and that the real Mary Lou was killed early on in the movie. The bus ran over something and it could quite possibly be her. The werewolf knew this and played along. A blizzard and no way to contact the outside world, The perfect Storm of events. Thoughts? This is the movie in question

colony**. → No signs of aging or wear = minimal time passed.
* The **absence of colonists**, children, or any bustling activity supports this being the **start** of the colony, not decades later.
* Nolan’s known for **non-linear storytelling** (*Tenet*, *Memento*), so showing a **past event at the end** fits his style perfectly.
# But What About Murph’s “Long Sleep” Line?
* Some might argue that Murph’s line about Brand **“settling in for the long sleep”** means Brand entered **cryo-sleep**, placing that scene in the present.
* But Murph’s comment could just be **speculation** — she has **no real way of knowing** Brand’s status. It’s likely meant to be **symbolic**, not literal, leaving Brand’s fate **open to interpretation**… and that’s where this theory kicks in.
# Additional Points on Murph’s “Long Sleep” Line:
1. **Murph Couldn’t Have Known Brand’s Status**: She was on Cooper Station, **light-years away** from Edmunds’ planet. Her comment is likely a **poetic guess**, not fact.
2. **“Long Sleep” Might Mean Death**: think about the timing. It’s been **80+ years** since Brand landed on Edmunds’ planet. Why would she ***just now*** be going into cryo-sleep? That line could actually be **Murph’s poetic way of acknowledging Brand’s possible death**. “Long sleep” has often symbolized death in films and literature, and Murph, being on her deathbed herself, might simply be **accepting Brand’s fate** — and from an emotional angle, **it makes more sense she meant death**. Murph herself was dying and could be acknowledging Brand’s likely fate.
3. **Line Doesn’t Confirm the Scene’s Timeline**: Murph’s ambiguous wording **doesn’t prove** the scene is in the present, keeping the theory **viable**.
# My Takeaway:
* I think the scene is right after Cooper's sacrifice, not in the present. Her being young and no time dilation make it impossible for it to be 80 years later.
# What Do You Think?
Have others thought of this before? I haven’t seen this theory anywhere — I could be the only one, but I’d love to hear thoughts, counter-theories, or plot holes I missed.
# TL;DR:
Dr. Brand is way too **young** in the final scene for it to be **80 years after Cooper’s sacrifice**. Edmunds’ planet **doesn’t have time dilation**, so I think that scene is **right after he fell into the black hole** — meaning Cooper might find her **dead or with a massive colony**, depending on how her mission went.

(Severance) What the work that MDR is doing for Lumen actually is.
The work is mysterious and important; that’s the Lumen company line for the work that the Macrodata Refinement department is doing. Why is Mark S’s Cold Harbor project so important? Because Mark, and his fellow refiners, are combing over their own brain data recorded by their implants, highlighting their emotional responses to stimuli.
The implant, in addition to acting as a door between innie and outie sides of their memories, ‘stamps’ the person’s memories with the numbers as they are being made. The mind can access this stamp subconsciously, whether or not the memory was created outside or on the severance floor. So, when the refiners are combing over the numbers for ‘scary’ numbers for instance, they are in fact identifying the ‘stamps’ for a memory where they were scared. This, combined with the other data collected by the implant, helps identify the brain’s emotional operational processes.
The Cold Harbor project that Mark S is working on, the project that is so important to Lumen, is refining the time he spent with Miss Casey; his supposedly dead wife. Even if he cannot access the memories of his wife when he’s with her, his outie’s emotions still resonate with her.
Imagine it; an implant that can suppress fear and morality, turning off memory for everything outside the battlefield. When the battle is over and the soldiers sent home, flip a switch and make the troops who may otherwise suffer from PTSD or have objections to what they did in war forget all the horrible things they did and were ordered to do, and live a normal life. What government on earth wouldn’t pay through their eye teeth to arm their military with those implants.

Inside (2023) - The Real Art Was Nemo All Along
So, I just finished watching Inside (2023), and I can’t shake the feeling that the entire ordeal wasn’t an accident—it was by design. What if Nemo was never just a thief trapped in a luxury penthouse, but the subject of an elaborate, living art piece?
# The Clues That Something Bigger Was Going On
1. The Alarm Wasn’t Just an Alarm The alarm goes off for a long time before Nemo cuts the lights and speakers, yet no security shows up. But here’s the thing: even if the speakers and lights were disabled, the security system itself should still be active. You’re telling me that in a multimillion-dollar home, no one got an alert? No security, no police, no response at all? What if the alarm wasn’t meant to warn security but to announce the start of the “art piece”?
2. The Homeowner Knew Nemo Would Break In There’s a flashback where the homeowner whispers something to Jasmine, the cleaner. We never hear what he says, but Jasmine’s behavior later is suspicious. She seems to know someone is inside. Could he have told her to let things play out?
3. The Smoke Detector Should Have Alerted Someone If the first alarm didn’t attract attention, then the smoke detector flooding the place should have. But once again, no response. This penthouse is filled with high-tech security, and yet—nothing. The only explanation? No one was ever supposed to come.
4. Jasmine’s Suspicious Look at the Camera This was one of the biggest red flags for me. When Jasmine is cleaning, she stops and stares at the security camera almost in disbelief. It’s like she knows Nemo is in there but also knows she can’t interfere. Maybe she was in on the plan, or maybe she was just following orders, but her look wasn’t normal. It felt like guilt—or hesitation.
# The Big Picture: Nemo Was the Art
The homeowner is a world-famous art collector, and we know ultra-rich people love pushing the boundaries of modern art. What if his real masterpiece wasn’t a painting or sculpture but a live human experiment? A real-life demonstration of survival, isolation, and artistic expression?
Think about it: Nemo slowly becomes the artist within his cage. He starts painting on the walls, building structures, arranging objects in symbolic ways. Even his escape attempt—the tower he builds—becomes a sculpture of desperation. He is the brush, the penthouse is the canvas, and his suffering is the story.
The homeowner didn’t care if Nemo escaped or died. That wasn’t the point. The point was the journey—watching a man create meaning out of nothingness. That’s why the ending is ambiguous. It doesn’t matter if Nemo gets out because his fate was never the real focus.
This whole movie wasn’t about a man trapped in a house. It was about art consuming him—until he became part of it.
What do you guys think? Could this be the real meaning behind Inside?

Harry Potter Movies Every film Kenneth Branagh has appeared in after ‘Chamber Of Secrets’ is actually Gilderoy Lockhart attempting to regain his memories.
“OBLIVIATE!” 💥💥
I think this one came to me after watching Tenet for the millionth time and going with that whole multiverse’ish kinda thing, plus Kenneth Branagh is an amazing character actor that maybe Gilderoy Lockhart truly was the master he lead us all to believe! 😉

Possible Connection Between Trap - No Way Out and Halloween H20? A Theory
So, I just watched Trap - No Way Out today and noticed some strong parallels to the Halloween franchise, particularly Halloween H20. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that this could be a subtle way of continuing the Halloween legacy.
Key Parallels:
• The detective character in Trap is very similar to the one in Halloween, especially in the way he commands the police and is solely focused on catching the killer.
• Same actor (Josh Hartnett) played Laurie Strode’s son in H20, and perhaps the trauma from his mother affected him, slowly turning him into a Michael Myers-like figure.
• The killer’s movement and speed are eerily similar to Michael Myers.
• A specific scene where he sets up the bicycle and everyone watches in silence reminded me of classic Halloween moments.
• The killer’s psychopathic traits—being incredibly strong and resilient—match Michael Myers.
• A warehouse worker even comments on the killer’s strength when he lifts a box effortlessly.
• The knife. The way he wields it is very reminiscent of Michael Myers.
• The cinematography and camera angles feel heavily inspired by Halloween.
• Chase sequences have the same suspenseful buildup and movement as those in Halloween.
My Theory:
Could this be a setup for Halloween’s continuation through him? Maybe this film is secretly connected to H20 and is setting up a new Halloween revival.
What do you think? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Harry Potter Dumbledore wasn't looking for Horcruxes -- he was looking for the Deathly Hallows, and specifically the Resurrection Stone. He only accidentally stumbled across the Horcruxes. And he lied to Harry about this at the fake Kings Cross because he was so ashamed.
I outlined this theory in detail at https://dlewis.net/blog/2017/04/11/harry-potter-and-the-problem-with-the-pensieve-memories/ years ago. It's a few thousand words, but the gist is this
1) Dumbledore collected a lot of memories in his purported search for the Horcruxes. But many of those memories -- Bob Ogden's, Hokey the House Elf's, and Morfin Gaunt's -- are all likely collected before Tom Riddle becomes Voldemort. Why would Dumbledore be investigating Voldemort's past before he became Voldemort? It can't be because of the Horcruxes -- that doesn't make sense.
2) I offer three alternative theories. One is that he was investigating the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, but that doesn't fit quite right -- Dumbledore would have had evidence that someone other than Hagrid opened the Chamber, but kept it to himself? So I dispense with that. A second is that he was investigating the murder of Riddle's father and grandparents, which almost works, except that if Dumbledore discovered that information while Riddle was a student, you'd think he'd have gotten Riddle expelled -- most schools aren't fond of having murders in their population. The third, and most likely explanation, is that Dumbledore was gathering those early memories in hopes of finding the Ressurection Stone.
3) If Dumbledore was looking for the Hallows, why not just tell Harry during their afterlife meeting at King's Cross? My theory is because Dumbledore was ashamed, which he admits to. His obsession with the Hallows led to the death of Harry's parents; Dumbledore had the Invisibility Cloak when Voldemort killed the Potters, and the Cloak may have saved them. But his shame goes beyond what he admits. He tells Harry that he only had the Cloak for a couple of days when the Potters were murdered, but that's a lie -- he had it for at least three months. (The linked story explains the timeline.) If he would lie about that, he would certainly lie about the rest of the backstory.

How did Wilson Fisk get out of prison?
So Fisk goes to prison in season 3 of Daredevil, and he walks free in New York City during the days before Christmas in Hawkeye. How did he get there?

(Breaking Bad) Why walt wore heavy jackets .
I believe he wore thick and heavy jackets to appear intimidating. This made him look a little buff. He also scared saul while wearing a heavy jacket. Also in the episode 'Negroy azul' he refers to jesse as a blowfish(puffer fish) which clearly puffs itself to intimidate it's predators

Scream and its issues spoilers!!
I finished watching the scream collection and i can see the appeal and i enjoyed some of them and I did find scream got worst on each movie, let's be honest scream 6 was just plain awful, wasteful intros such as the introduction of danny bracket played by talented josh segarra, to be used only a few times why didn't they make him the third killer and maybe connected to stu like a younger brother, as stu's death is a uncertainty, they tried to make us believe that 2 weakest killers in the franchise could kill all them especially the beefcake Gail weather's was dating, it's the same mistake in previous one in 5 where a small girl can kill dewey and lift him up come on! If you rewatch the movie and see the ghostface killer part in the shop the killer towers over some of the customers and brutally kills them but the killers are actually smaller, also mindy gets stabbed on the train and doesn't look like she will make it but is seen running and jumping in the back of the ambulance ay what? She got stabbed badly not slashed but really badly stabbed in the belly, like an hour ago in, the movie time perspective. So many inconsistencies and I'm dreading the result in scream 7 especially bringing back half the dead cast. I'm wondering is they will bring back sam carpenter, we all know she got fired apparently but maybe that's a ruse and she's the killer it's the only thing that can make possible sense. The story in 6 was just weak and from the trailer the ghostface killer they showed was tougher and more brutal but turned out to be those 2 weak pansies. What's your take?

God is actually Luke skywalker
I figured out god hated lying because it reminds him of Ben kenobi lying to him in the past before he became the creator of us, but the creation of man of his image is a species from his mortal past, and the other language during the building of the Tower of Babel, he got that idea from his past of aliens speaking other languages, and another thing Jesus did miracles by using the force, the Star Wars legends timeline is before the creation of heaven and earth. Dinosaurs existed before the creation of heaven and earth. I bet Alex bale should work on a theory of this. I bet he created the heaven, the earth, the sea, the trees, the animals, and mankind by using the force.
