Talk:Somewhere in Time (film)

message: The reference to Christopher Reeve being called "Bigfoot" seems very unlikely to me ("Man of Steel", the previous edit, makes more sense) ... but from at least a quick skim of contributor Frecklefoot's other work, he doesn't seem the type to vandalize. Can someone check into this?

replies: text: I don't when this happened, but I sure didn't mean to vandalize. It might've been lumped together with some reverting? If someone can find the correct refence, please cite it and fix it in the article. Sorry! — Frecklefoot | Talk 22:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

text: The reference to the "Bigfoot" nickname is 100% correct.  And, while much less frequently used, Jane Seymour was occasionally called "Little Foot". Pt11055 (talk) 04:30, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The paradox about the watch is something. My question though is that if automobiles have not been allowed on the island, how did the elderly McKenna's limosine get there, 1971-72, let alone Collier's vehicle later, 79-80?.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.231.19 (talk • contribs) 
:That's a good question. I assume they didn't intend on geeks looking up this type of information on the Internet and brought them in specifically for the film. Plus, I don't think there was any intention on the setting for this film to be the Grand Hotel itself, but, rather, a fictional one. In that case, the presence of cars isn't a problem. — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The movie is not specifically set on Mackinac Island, and Grand Hotel's location is never referenced until the end credits. Its specific location is unimportant, but the fact that it was an elegant summer hotel near a body of water, was.  If, as a viewer, you didn't recognize the Grand Hotel as being on Mackinac Island, you would wonder why no cars were shown in 1912 when they clearly should be there.  That type of viewer was anticipated to be more typical, so cars were included to more accurately set the era. Also add "by foot" and "carriage"  to means of transportation during filming. Crew members only rode horses for recreation.Pt11055 (talk) 06:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone put information into the entry about a possible closure of the fan group, International Network Of Somewhere In Time Enthusiasts (INSITE). As I am a former member of INSITE, I got concerned and wrote to Jo Addie about this possible closure. According to the e-email I received from her, she says they are still a "go" for 2007, but because they've lost over 50% of their membership, they are struggling to stay viable as an organized club. So they've introduced a tiered system in order to keep afloat.  Just figure folks here would want to know.

message: I've started an article for the book, Bid Time Return. It is pretty rough at this point, and I will add to it later; I welcome help from anyone else. I recently did a lot of work on the article for Matheson's novel What Dreams May Come. One difference, however, is that with the latter, I liked the novel a lot more than the film. In the case of Bid Time Return/Somewhere in Time, I think the movie was somewhat better. I haven't read Bid Time Return as often as I've read What Dreams May Come, and I haven't read it any time recently, but I do own a copy and can consult it. marbeh raglaim 09:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have any links to information on the theory that William Robinson is also a time traveller from the future? And if so should there be a section about it? There's considerable evidence (in the movie at least) to suggest it as a possibility e.g. Elise tells Richard that William foretold a lot of things that happened to her ("he knows somehow") including the fact that she would one day meet a man who would change her life forever. Also William tells Richard he knows who he is and that he is there to "destroy" her (which according to her housekeeper is exactly what happened in 1912). I'd write the section myself but I don't have any links, so it'd fall under the category of "original research".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.41.114 (talk) 05:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

message: In the "Plot summary" section (too long for a summary) it starts by saying the setting is 1972.  But, then says it is 1980 near the end.  Also, the "Differences from the novel" says 1980.  Which is it?  Remember when a film is made is not the same as the setting.  Please fix.  In addition somebody added a non-neutral tag to the "Differences from the novel" section.  This should not be there.  It either is fact or is not, either fix it and add references, or remove it. ~ 4.240.117.195 (talk) 08:47, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The film starts in 1972, when the incident with the old lady and the watch occurs. But notice that the plot summary then says, "Eight years later, Richard is a successful 28-year-old playwright." So it's implied that it's then 1980. marbeh raglaim (talk) 19:22, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
