this is inspired by a GD post discussing whether Craig actually stole those boxes on his day off.

but what others exist? it may be things everyone agrees were never explained, or things that maybe you just missed and someone can explain it for us.

i'll start...

was this ever explained?

Pumpkin: What's in the briefcase?
Jules: my boss' dirty laundry
Pumpkin: Your boss makes you do his laundry?
Jules: When he wants it clean

Dirty laundry: all of Marcellus' secrets, fears, phobias, etc
Jules is the shepherd leading Marcellus out of the darkness

But like Longo said, part of the theory revolves around the Band-Aid on the neck, which again, was just used to cover up a scar.

And it's kind of a stretch for a movie that doesn't really play with fantastic realism.

def a nod to Kiss Me Deadly, but the briefcase in Kiss me Deadly was clearly supposed to be nuclear material.

I know it isn't though or people would be getting vaporized when they look at it.. but I just can't help associating the two.

all good, i hit a bowl at lunch and someone on the radio mentioned the Pulp Fiction briefcase (in a completely different context than this post) and i thought this post was a good idea.

ha

also never explained what is in the case.

Robet Deniro's character is only slightly explained, although it's more clear if you've watched the extras.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

An entire district was drugged by Scarecrow in Batman Begins and it never gets brought up for the rest of the trilogy. WTF happened to those people? Are they still drugged out of their minds? Do they have any contact with Gotham City outside of their island?

I feel like an entire set of stories could be told just off that alone.

Batman only partially saved the day and the film made sure we knew that fact....for no reason apparently.

---------------------------------------

Not telling you what happened next or how it was resolved isn't a hole in the plot.

Where does the Joker go after Batman and Rachel fall off the balcony in the Harvey Dent campaign party scene? That will always bother me, but the movie is entertaining enough that I let it go.

After that, it gets pretty nitpicky. I get why people didn't like TDKR, but him leaving the pit and showing up in Gotham is a complete Batman move and people harped on that a LOT. If they showed him hopping on cargo boats and shit everyone would whine. Plus in BB he leaves Gotham with nothing, finds Ra's al Ghul, AND makes it back to Gotham with seemingly nothing, yet those folks tend to think it's the best movie in the series and never bring this up.

-Almost every Coen Brothers movie.

Great film with great acting, but the plot was basically incomprehensible due to the Film Code at the time. Moreover, even Raymond Chandler, the guy who wrote the book the movie was based on, couldn't remember who did what when asked about it later.

Like, why does he keep repeating the same day? That's actually a good one now that I think about it.

its inexplicable. it just happens to him. fate. god. whatever. he has to learn to appreciate his life...it seems irrelevant why the "magic" or "nightmare" happens

the briefcase in Pulp Fiction and getting it to Marsellis is kind of what sets in motion 2/3 of the movie.

a lot of the plot is about that briefcase, so it does matter.

>a lot of the plot is about that briefcase, so it does matter.

I'd say it "matters" more because of a need to resolve that nagging mystery, but not necessarily to the degree that the story suffers as a result.

It could be along the lines of the MIB "galaxy", in that seems incredibly important, yet winds up something subjectively trivial.

We thought it was some serious shit, but it turned out to be a goddamned marble to some alien.

Kate from Lost robbed a bank for a toy airplane that held sentimental value, but was otherwise worthless to pretty much anyone else.

So the contents of that briefcase, for all we know, could be pretty much anything.

Certain things would be less interesting than others, to be sure, but overall it's moot because what happened, happened.

>Kate from Lost robbed a bank for a toy airplane that held
>sentimental value, but was otherwise worthless to pretty much
>anyone else.

the classic Lost "gripe" is the polar bear. who gives a fuck?

i never understood peoples obsessions with the "mysteries" of the island. the "questions". did the end of the show suck due to circumstance (aka ABC forcing the writers to continue the show for too long; the fandom solving the mystery too early leaving the writers unable to outsmart themselves)? undoubtedly, yes, it was a let down. but the plot holes are more silly than they are vital to enjoying the show.

I, as millions of others too, was obsessed with lost. but i never felt a connection to the mysteries of the island. i just loved the emotional highs and lows and the ride. maybe im wrong, i dunno.

Whether it was diamonds or dude's Soul, it makes no difference to how the story plays out.

Better to have a legitimate discussion that fits the actual criteria than a bunch of poorly-thought out replies that don't actually fit.

is a good one, never find out what it really is or does.

They have a name, Macguffin for these. Pulp Fiction I believe read was diamonds in the original script but ended up much cooler not knowing what might be in the briefcase.
