In the Film Cast Away with Tom Hanks, Would the Volleyball "Wilson" be considered his alter ego?

April 302010

or his conscience? In the film, it seems as though he relates to Wilson and even treats him as though he were a living being. When Wilson is lost at sea, does this symbolize part of Hanks’ character dying?

Perhaps a little of both. A bit like an imaginary friend, his only friend. With the exception of Kelly, Wilson became his reason for living.
The scene where he looses Wilson is the point at which he has finally given up. I like your thoughts about it being part of himself dying.

Does anyone know if there is a VHS/DVD for 1974 film "My Way", aka "the Winners"?

OVguide is always a good bet. They have tons of videos and movies. They even have a bollywood/asian category which is bound to have what you are looking for. I’d thoroughly recommend it

where do i take empty dvd films for recycling?

locally. but in england, somewhere.

what is an "empty dvd film"?

do you mean the plastic case that individual dvd’s are sold in? the plastic should have a number code stamped on it to identify the general type of plastic it is. you can check with your local recycler whether they accept that kind.

do you mean a "coaster" — a dvd that you burned yourself but had errors and hence is not usable. for failed cd or dvd burns, the discs become useless and hence the term coaster has been applied. (a coaster is a thing you put under a beverage glass to prevent condensation on the glass from getting on the table).

and what do you mean by film? motion picture film? there is no such film in a dvd.
or do you mean the thin film that holds the data?

how does films gets sceened at the movies and also how does it get sceened on tv ?

April 302010

Does all the films get sent to the movie and tv company and they get picked or what do they do ?

I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking here.

I run a five screen movie theatre. Each week we choose which movies we want to open based on what’s coming out and what we expect to do business. When making our choices, we have to take into account the on-going popularity of movies we are already playing. We also have to consider what the studios will charge us for the movies and any minimum run requirements.

Because we only have five screens, there are often movies we just don’t have room to play and that’s the way it is. If something we missed is popular, we may bring it in a few weeks later when we have room. But more often than not we don’t play it if we don’t get it the opening weekend.

My theatre still used 35mm film projectors for all five screens. The films are delivered to us in cans or boxes containing a bunch of 20 minute long reels – the number varies by the length of the movie. We then splice these small reels into one big reel to run through the projector.

The movie industry is in the process of switching over to digital projection where movies come on hard drives and are projected with high resolution digital projectors. Down the road, the movies may be delivered by satellite or over encrypted internet connections.

I don’t know anything about how television deals are worked out.

Would like episode numbers, please.
I made the mistake of watching the Bleach films to early!

The Naruto movies have nothing to do with the plot of the anime.
