so there was this whole storyline about Jasper and whatshername having sex by the window. He's even left in basement with that photo to "keep him warm".
It was the whole reason for the build up to the end of the movie, and she thinks she could just swap them for one that he's never seen before with the police tape? Wtf?
I have this a chance as it was half decently scored on Netflix, but that was just dumb.
I think the intention was Jasper was so high that night he didn't remember that night very well, if you look at the photo she's into it but Jasper's bodylanguage looks dead/zombiefied. There's also good chance whatever they were taking, Finn took enough to pass him out.
In a way it also shows how much a crazy power freak she is, boyfriend passed out on the couch, Jasper zombiefied, and she's way, way into it.
Well when he walked into Mr B's house, she was sitting there crying holding the photo. She then stormed out claiming to know nothing.
So Finn then had that photo, or Jaser did.
After Jasper throws him into his death room, he tucks the photo in his pocket, saying "that should keep you warm".
So he gets out, has a showdown with jasper, the photo gets dropped in the fight, and crazy chick quickly tries to swap them back.
Why? Finn had never seen that photo, he'd obviously know it wasn't the same picture.
In fact he says "why has the photo changed? This is a different photo" which is when her ridiculous plan unfolds.
I actually quite enjoyed the movie, even though I was weary of how it would end, and sure enough, poorly.
She'd have had to have figured out what the machine was within a few minutes, then learnt how to use it to her advantage. It's a vast shift just to get her boyfriend to pay more attention.

That was a typo, it was meant to say "obviously Finn HAD seen the picture as he stuffed it into the other guys pocket" sorry, my memory with names is sooo bad!
Yeah I get the other stuff. It wasn't a bad movie, I just got lost it towards the end I think. I didn't understand that English woman's part in it, other than to say she'd received a letter "X" amount of time ago, and the photo was from 1 or 2 weeks in the future, I dunno.
But yeah, I get that she was trying to manipulate him, I just don't see why she tried to swap the photo of them having sex for one with the police tape over it, what was the point? Because he noticed like, straight away, as soon as he looked at it.
I think she wanted to convince Finn that things could change. If he thought the picture changed, then he wouldn't worry anymore. She was already convinced that she was totally in control, that she was dictating the future. Of course, she was wrong. But I think she wanted Finn to feel the same ease that she did. I also don't think she thought a lot of the end through. It all happened pretty quickly.
shareWell that's the thing, it was always going to happen because it was in the picture. The one with the gas container and the blood on the window.
That's another thing I don't understand. She writes "don't get caught in the window" and she's caught in the window.
It doesn't bother her because she's got the sign up in the window, but it wouldn't make the slightest difference, because she'd already been caught, sticking the note back up in the window would have done nothing, as time wasn't shifting, she could just see what happened.
So her trying to run back in to put the sign up, completely pointless as she'd already been caught in the window.
Time movies, always a head scratcher. Mainly because it's physically impossible, so it's never going to make sense 100%.
If it were possible, it would have happened already.
It's actually well accepted that time is stationary and things are really moving through it, much like a swimmer through water.
Once something happens it has always happened and will have always happen. And while a past event gets further away it is because you are moving away from it, not because time is taking it from you.
In theory, if Callie had managed to get the note to stick she could have prevented the final outcome. The problem was that she didn't figure out or pay close enough attention to the details. For example, she already knew that the note didn't stick because she had the picture with the window taped off in police tape. If she had used the resources she had and worked forwards with that knowledge deductively she'd of been okay.
Then again I see this as a testament to human arrogance; instead of just talking to Finn in the first place (before she even started sleeping with Jasper) about how his actions were hurting her and their relationship, she decided it would be better to forcefully impose her own desired outcome. Ironically, or perhaps, poetically, the mature thing to do would have also been most beneficial.
You've got a better grasp on quantum physics than I do pal!
Although that made it a little easier to understand, trying to think about it hurts my brain!
This is what I think....
The paradox of Schroedinger?s Cat famously demonstrates that a quantum cat sealed in a box is both alive and dead at the same time until we look inside, at which point it becomes one or the other. Such is the weirdness of quantum mechanics. But if a mere act of observation determines the outcome of an experiment, what happens if we never look away? Answer: time effectively stands still.
That?s the conclusion of a new paper accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters. Cornell University physicists constructed an elaborate experiment to demonstrate that making a series of rapid measurements of atoms ? equivalent to looking at the system without blinking ? essentially freezes matter in place. It?s a bit like one of Doctor Who?s Weeping Angels, those creepy statues who are said to be ?quantum locked?: they can only move when they?re not being directly observed.
This is the quantum version of one of Zeno?s paradoxes, first proposed by an ancient Greek philosopher named Zeno of Elea, who liked to mess with people?s assumptions. Think of it this way. In order for a Weeping Angel to move from one point to another, it must first cross half the distance to that point. But in order to reach that halfway mark, it must first cross half the distance of that, and then half the distance of that half distance, and so on, ad infinitum. Zeno concluded ? tongue very firmly in cheek ? that this ?proved? the angel could never get from point A to point B, and therefore motion was impossible.
Only joking, but it was the first article I opened when I just looked a Facebook. Lol.
