Doomie Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well, it depends. in some movies, it's a spoken line, in others, some letters on the wall or something. Now where was that thread in wich that guy listed them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomie Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Well, i've never seen it, but it's a science fiction, i've heard. Somehting about humans that have become numbers that have to do what's being told to them and stuff... Or something like that. But i don't think it's a porno.

Coloured Albino Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 in TPM it appears on the back of one of the battledroids that surrounds jar jar and capt tarpus and in ANH TK 421 was supposed to be THX 1138 as in the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It revolves around the idea of a futuristic state in which humans serve basically as machines... their lifes, their procreating, pretty much everything is regulated by the government. THX 1138 is the number of the main character who basically "wakes up" and tries to rebel/escape. Least, that's how I remember it; it's been a few years since I've seen it.

Kryllith Yeah, I think you are on to something there. Can't remember it all too good, just flashes of it. Been so long since I watched it, and I think I only watched it ones.

Kryllith Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Originally posted by Sivy more like a cross between Matrix and Equilibrium. Haven't seen Equilibrium, but I just read a review of it and it looks fairly close to the mark; I'll have to check it out. The concept is fairly old, having been done and redone by numerous sci-fi writers. Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryllith The concepts in Equilibrium aren't exactly new nor mind blowing (I think of the story as a 1984/farenheit 451 mix myself) but it IS well done, and the action scenes in it are absolutely fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Traces of THX 1138 can be heard a couple times in the Trilogy. In ANH when Luke and Han infiltrated Leia's detention block on the Death Star, Han says that Leia is in "Cell Block 1138." In the Battle of Hoth when General Rieekan is dispatching the Snowspeeder pilots, he orders "Rogues 10 and 11 to Sector 3-8." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I've never seen THX 1138. I knew what it was and everything though. Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Originally posted by Chase Windu Actually Luke said 'Prisoner transfer from cellblock 1138'. Leia was in cell 2187. Well, I just copied that stuff out of Star Wars Insider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
