Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Horror. Doesn't digesting Mr. Igoe make Jack a cannibal? Also, David Lynch wishes he could have dreamed up something as uncomfortably Freudian as Tuck entering his ex-girlfriend's uterus -- while she's pregnant...
  • Fridge Logic: Why did the rival lab build a miniaturization chamber that required exactly the same kind of chips, even when the rest of their technology seemed far more advanced?
    • The Miniaturization process in the film is depicted as breaking up the object into its component molecules, & a sampling of those molecules is then collected & used to "compile" a microscopic version of that object. The loss of so much of the objects mass is presumably the reason why the administrator (Dr Niles) described the re-enlargement process as "tricky" & why 2 chips are used as they can serve as a guide for exactly how to rebuild the object.
