Welcome to Salty Popcorn - my site dedicated to expressing my opinion on films. Most of the reviews I read in the paper make me angry that they are either all so negative or I completely disagree with them. So now it's my turn. I hope you enjoy it and if you do sign up for updates on the left hand side. Thanks for stopping in!! PLEASE NOTE: I rate my films different from the standard 5 star approach. As I work in the cinema industry I am aware that the most expensive general admission ticket is $17-. My rating of a film is based on what I think the ticket is worth in a dollar amount up to $17- (a perfect film). If I think a film is worth about $5- it's probably not worth watching in my opinion. Please also welcome my other writers Dave and Sean - Salty Popcorn's other talented writers. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

Useless Info Of Film Part 1

August 1st 2008 22:40
I told Morgan a while ago I would post some useless information as I have a book all about useless information. You could call it trivia stuff but I don't want to steal the idea from Pop Culturist's Trivia Questions post found HERE. I will say thanks for the inspiration though!! I just love completely useless info!




1) 101 Dalmatians and Peter Pan are the only two Disney cartoon features with both parents that are present and don't die through the movie

2) All the clocks in Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4.20

3) In the 1983 JAWS 3D film the shark blows up. Some of the shark guts were stuffed ET dolls being sold at the time

4) During the chariot scene in Ben Hur a small red car can be seen in the distance

5) Pulp Fiction cost $8- MILLION to make and $5- MILLION went on actors wages



6) The mask used by the original Micheal Myers in the first Halloween is actually a Captain Kirk mask painted white

7) The sound of ET walking is a lady squishing her hands in jelly

8) Miss Piggy's measurements are: 27-20-36

9) Captain Jean-Luc Picard's fish was named Lvingston


10) Duran Duran got their name from an astronaut in the 1968 Jane Fonda movie Barberella



Like I said - I have a whole book so more coming soon!

Hi Jason

This is great stuff, I loved:

3) In the 1983 JAWS 3D film the shark blows up. Some of the shark guts were stuffed ET dolls being sold at the time

Well, it makes sense to recycle, even in the film industry.

I feel clever because I already knew number 10
