Total Recall

Suddenly

Scientists Input Total Recall-Like Short Term Memory In Mice

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:19 pm, September 17th, 2012

In the 1990 film Total Recall (and its 2012 reboot), the main character signs up for a procedure that will implant pleasant or thrilling memories in his brain. It’s used as a type of vacation for the mind but now, scientists have discovered how to do almost that exact same thing in mice. What are the implications of this discovery for memory disorders? I think the more important question is, how did they know the mice remembered what they planted?

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:01 pm, September 3rd, 2012

Just yesterday we told you Joss Whedon’s The Avengers pushed past the $1.5 billion dollar mark for global ticket sales. Today, we’ve found out Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises has officially become the 11th film to cross the billion dollar mark. Theater owners must be very happy, right? Wrong.

by The Mary Sue Staff | 12:32 pm, August 22nd, 2012

With summer interns making their way back to the hallowed halls of education and Jill and I starting to realize just how close New York Comic Con is, we felt it was a good time to take a look back at the good, the bad, and the… wait, that came out this summer? Eugh. I’d repressed it from my memory.

What A Boob! Comic-Con Fans Think Total Recall Actress Really Has Three Breasts

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:49 pm, July 24th, 2012

One thing on the minds of Total Recall fans when they first heard about the Len Wiseman reboot was, “Is there going to be a three-breasted woman?” I’ll admit, I was curious myself as to whether or not they would include that unusual detail from the original but we found out the answer was yes. Then the marketing geniuses behind the Colin Farrell-starring feature decided to bring her to Comic-Con International in San Diego and actress Kaitlyn Leeb got more than she bargained for. Fans thought her tripple-breasted prosthetic was real. Picture of Ms. Leeb after the jump.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Should Just Do All the Commentaries [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 3:29 pm, November 21st, 2011

Did you watch Total Recall and not really understand what you were watching? Well, you are in luck! Arnold Schwarzenegger himself did a commentary track for the DVD — posted to YouTube by one buzzclikverifyme — in which he basically just tells you everything that’s happening on the screen at every single moment. It’s pure, it’s straightforward … it goes against the whole acting thing about “show, don’t tell,” but he’s not acting, you guys. He’s watching it with us. He’s clarifying it. Recalling it, if you will. And I nominate the former governor of California to provide this thoughtfully basic insight for several movies, like Mulholland Dr., Inception, maybe even Pulp Fiction. And every pornographic movie ever.

Predator: The Musical

by Susana Polo | 1:44 pm, February 24th, 2011

Legolambs bills this as the very last in their series of Arnold Schwarzenegger musicals, consisting of Commando, Terminator 2, Rambo, Conan, and Total Recall.  But maybe if they’re out of Schwarzenegger movies, they can move on to a different, easily spoofable action star?

Come on, Die Hard the Musical.
