Summary
We're back, and it's time to finish our current "Origins" project. We're going to get into the final hour of 'Dark City.' This movie is deceiving. It's only 90 minutes but, wow...Director Alex Proyas jammed a LOT of stuff into 90 minutes! Literally thousands of cuts are telling a more involved story than you'd expect in such a short film.
We have Strangers to battle...creepy Dr. Schreber is a turn coat, surprise-surprise, and Johnny Murdoch is a heck of a landscaper. He LOVES water features! Emma is going to become Anna, Mr. Hand tries to be Murdoch and Bumstead's going for a spacewalk...this is CRAZY! And DARK!
Grab your Fedora and Duster, Refiner...it's time to unravel the mysteries of Dark City once and for all!

| 0:39.1 | DC was a huge influence on Dan Erickson during his development of Severance. It was a commercial dud, but it's become a cult fave, and it made Roger Ebert's |
| 0:45.3 | all-time list of great movies. I decided I wanted to see what was so special about this movie. |
| 0:50.6 | It was one that passed me by when it first came out. Oh, and by the way, this is |

| 1:33.0 | down into the subway system. He's off to find Avenue C and his uncle Carl Harris. He |
| 1:39.2 | believes this is the K-H from the luggage he found in his hotel room. One of the strangers, Mr. Hand, was imprinted with the memories of John Murdoch, now |
| 1:48.4 | Hand, along with his writing buddies, Mr. Sleep, Mr. Wall, and Mr. Rain have headed out into the |
