I was chatting with Siwaraya. She had to put me on hold so I started live blogging Unknown. This would be a good way to think about how an audience engages with a film. Maybe a good assignment. You can see the questions and assumptions one makes when watching a film.

Starting from about a third of the way in....
haven't decided whether this sucks or not
Where is this thing going?
You go Liam
What is he carrying?
Sick of shaky cam
Is this the same movie as Taken?
Yeah, just follow the clues
If he's really dead I'm going to scream
They wouldn't do that would they?
How much cash does this guy carry around?
Of course the cab driver looks like a movie star
She looks like Natalie POrtman
Why her? Why the loose end?
Doesn't make sense
Terrible accent, who is this actress? [found out later she actually speaks German]
Yeah, as if that's youtube
Nosy, very nosy
She's a goner
OK, if you didn't know that was going to happen...
What this movie needs is mor rack focuses
Yeah, but you know in Taken...
He was supposed to be an ex CIA operative
Great, now it's a buddy film
Next they're going to be kissing
that scene in the hopsital was important...
At least we know he's not dead
Car chase--fills time
You sure this isn't Date Night?
Destroyed cars means high production values
She really looks like Natalie POrtman right?
At a certain point you might think he'd stay away from cars…
Now entering German disco circa 1996
People only dance like that in movies… with their arms waving in the air
code = lame
Yeah, so she was a plant….
Yeahh….
"but i really fell in love with you…."
Oh puh leeze
Yea, like it's still going to be there
Oh oh…. BOOM!
The tick tock music lets you know
That's Carl Reiner
Now's the time for your drug
No, not Carl Reiner
Edward Platt? (joke)
The end for him
Yeah that's love...
and all that crap
Mr. Rack Focus is back.
Go Natalie
Yeah, that's always a good idea
Remember what happened last time you drove
Who said the academic life is dull?
I should have known when he called himself "Dr"
Oh that explains it
How Total Recall
I thought I recognized the black guy
You know, with the alien hand.
If this wre Inception that truck would…
Oh forget it
Simple test: tell us about biotechnology
They all look like Jaylo
an unkempt Pierce Brosnan
Yeah, the blinky lights...
Because secret things need to blink to work
That's the slowest copying OS I've ever seen
Yay! Sugar for all!
Green wire? What green wire?
How old is this guy anyway?
You thought quals was hard
That is the worst effect I've ever seen
Monsanto, they're talking about you
OK, but they're getting together right?
All in all, really dumb
All in all, really dumb
