XMen theory>>>> most of the theories posted....
I thought I was a Martin and Malcolm story but that's only a 5th of it... Good find @scumbagswag -
It's true that isn't the only article about it. Magneto had an interview about it saying how he was a proponent for ? rights and should be seen as equal.
I thought it was weird bc I'm thinking the ? x men gotta do with ? people.
The comics may have been about civil rights but the films chose to cover another topic which is still in the same vein as civil rights. -
Well it is hollywood...

what in the ? ...
That's gotta be duck tales but yeah that story is ? all the way up. Reminds me of that movie sinister lol. Good read. -
Stan Lee and other folks who worked for marvel stated in interviews several years back stated that the X-Men franchise had more to do with the civil rights movement than anything else. So the ? rights theory is bull.
Stan Lee don't run Hollywood ? ... And you know ? people like to compare their struggle to ours...smh
And didn't Hugh Jackson played a ? on Broadway?

Boyz in the Hood and Menace To Society are part of the same universe, with Menace happening around the time that Dougboy, Ricky and the rest are kids.
At the beginning of "Boyz", we meet the crew that would go on to be the focus of the movie. When the crew goes to see the dead body, they run up on a gang where one asks Ricky to throw him his ball. The gang member's name was Ric Rock, played by Vonte Sweet.
In Menace, we meet Sharif Butler, son of the teacher Mr Butler. Sharif is also played by Vonte Sweet.
The connection between the two movies is made when Caine says "... “Sharif,” the ex-knucklehead who converted to Islam."
The story could go that something happens in Ric Rock's life, possibly prison, where he converts to Islam and changes his name to Sharif and begins down the path of righteousness elsewhere in South Central LA. -
The X-men movie thing with ? rights has been established years ago. It was obvious. Yeah, the comics were metaphorically about civil rights but the film, with several subtleties incorporated into the writing, broadened that metaphor to include commentary on ? rights as well. The director of the first two films and the upcoming one, Bryan Singer, is ? . Not saying that alone makes it a fact but is it that surprising?

I don't understand how that would really work though because the scene with them as kids in "Boyz" was like 1984. Dude was obviously much older than them then, but in Menace most the crew including Sharif are late teens because they was still in high school. This would put him at like the same age or a lil bit younger than the "Boyz" crew. The ages don't really match up. -
what in thee hell is all dis weird azz ? ! -

I disagree with this theory,
due to the fact that Tupac was set to play the Sharif character before he kept clashing with one of the Hughes bros...
Pac was already doing scenes on the set as Sharif and everything but since his character was the good guy and Caine and O-dog was out bussin brains, Pac wanted to be apart of the action in the film, Hughes wasn't havin it so they got into it on the set...
Vonte Sweet became Sharif by chance because of the whole Pac situation.. this nullifies the theory that Sharif was the guy punkin young Dough Boy at the beginning of Boyz N tha Hood because Sharif was suppose to be Pac. -

7 Famous Movie Flaws That Were Explained in Deleted Scenes
Even the greatest movies will end up with some scenes on the cutting room floor. For the most part, it's with good reason: As awesome as it was, Darth Vader's wakeboarding montage would really have broken the flow of Empire. But a few of those cut scenes would have absolutely made the movie, and it's a tragedy that we've never seen them... until now. NOTE: Obviously there are spoilers, but don't let that stop you from reading (just from complaining that we didn't warn you.)

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
[img]http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/9/0/7/29907.jpg?v=1[/img ] This whole article, a small novel, two abridged textbooks and an epic poem could be written about the sheer volume of deleted scenes from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but there's one particular cut from The Two Towers that seems particularly important. The flashback scene we're referring to shows Boromir and Faramir having a conversation after stomping some Orc ass--a flashback to before anybody knew that a certain hobbit had found a certain ring. Then their father, Denethor, shows up to ? the moment, because he's just generally not a "party type of dude."[/img]
Boromir and his father Denethor discuss the Council at Rivendell, and the fact that "Isildur's Bane" is the One Ring (a fact not presented otherwise). Denethor instructs his son to retrieve the Ring for Gondor.
Which went over well, in case you're wondering.
This actually explains Boromir's entire motivation in the first film, and everything he does. His father, his brother, his people are all depending on him to bring back that ? ring. He was never going to let them destroy it. It puts the whole first film in a new light and without that scene, Boromir is just "that shifty dude" that kind of hangs out in the back, making all the hobbits uncomfortable for no reason anybody can place. He might as well have been driving a windowless van.

Independence Day
Are you kind of a nerd? Have you seenIndependence Day? What's the problem we're about to point out here? Exactly. Fully half of you reading this have just screamed to the heavens in futile rage about the probability of the famous Apple OS/advanced alien mothership compatibility issue. Even here at Cracked, we've drawn attention to this once or twice in one of our articles (like this one, this one, this one, this one and, well, this one.)
Essentially, Jeff Goldblum is reminded that the word "virus" exists, which is all the motivation and know-how he needs to hack a completely alien spacecraft with a mid-90s PowerBook. We can't even get our damn Xboxes to play pirated copies of Step Up 2 the Streets from our computer, and they were made specifically to interact with one another, yet the dude from Jurassic Parksomehow manages to encode a ? .GIF of a laughing skull in there when he takes out the mothership with the cutting edge power of MacOS 7.6.
But in the seven minutes of cut scenes included in the extended release Independence Day DVD, Goldblum is actually shown tinkering with his PowerBook inside the recovered craft from the Roswell crash site, mumbling something about how the spaceship was running off the same programming language he was able to decipher before (when he first uncovered their invasion plans and all that).
He may also have mentioned tachyons.
So, he presumably worked from there and was able to code some disruptive program and translate it into their language or whatever. It's still flimsy as hell, but it at least proves the filmmakers were aware of and willing to address the problem, thus defusing a decade and a half of pent-up nerd-rage.
I'll post more tomorrow -

The Wire and The X-Files Exist in the Same Universe
It's hard to believe that while a gritty drug war rages in Baltimore, Md. (as seen in The Wire), the government is devoting considerable resources to planning a secret alien invasion (as seen in The X-Files). And yet, if you look at the cold, hard facts, that's exactly what's going on in those shows.
It all comes down to this dude:
Detective John Munch is best known as a character in the interminable Law & Order franchise, but he first appeared on a different cop show called Homicide: Life on the Street. Homicide was based on a book by David Simon and inspired by many of the same people and events Simon would later use as the basis for HBO's The Wire. In the last season of The Wire, Simon confirmed the connection between the shows by having Detective Munch make a short appearance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6ufVdsQiZw&feature=player_embedded
But that's not all: Before Homicide was canceled, the show crossed over with The X-Files in an episode where the Lone Gunmen, the conspiracy theorists who occasionally assist Mulder and Scully, uncover a government plot to test an experimental nerve gas in Baltimore. The Gunmen try to warn the authorities, but Detective Munch doesn't buy any of that conspiracy ? and locks them up. This isn't some inconsequential little cameo, by the way -- the whole episode is framed by Munch interrogating the Lone Gunmen.
The implications are vast: What other toxic agents has the government been secretly testing in Baltimore, a city that The Wire paints as crippled by drug use? Could this explain why they let Sgt. Colvin get away with his "Hamsterdam" experiment for so long in Season 3? The massive coverup at the end of Season 5 had to be a piece of cake to a government that is already hiding the existence of everything from aliens to "Super Soldiers." Also, this would explain why the characters in The Wire always have such a hard time getting the Feds to cooperate with their drug investigations -- they have much, much bigger fish to fry. Like, galaxy big.
We could take this even further if we took into consideration the fact that Homicide: Life on the Street can also be linked to St. Elsewhere, of all things, through two characters who appeared on both shows. St. Elsewhere famously ended when the whole show was revealed to take place in the imagination of an autistic child -- and, by extension, so would The X-Files and The Wire.
In fact, according to Dwayne McDuffie's Grand Unification Theory, "The last five minutes of St. Elsewhere is the only television show, ever. Everything else is a daydream."
Include the CBS series, “Chicago Hope” in that list. There’s a Homicide episode where a brain dead boy’s parents choose to end his life and donate his organs. There’s a scene that shows the boys organs being harvested and sent to hospitals all over. One of the hospitals is the Chicago Hope hospital. Mandy Patinkin’s character can be seen woofing down a quick meal waiting for surgery then he runs up to the helipad to receive one of the organs packed in an ice cooler.
Also, “Chicago Hope” had crossover episodes with “Picket Fences” and “Early Edition”.

Fact: Tyrese's characters from Baby Boy, Waist Deep, and the Fast & Furious is the same guy.
Yyvette gave birth to Jody's son, but then emptied out his account and dipped. That's when he and Peanut went into hustling. They recasted Game as Peanut and gave him another name, Big Meat. After escaping the country, he met Paul Walker's character while visiting Florida. The rest is F&F history. -

The Secret Identity of Andy’s Mom in Toy Story
By Jon Negroni
FEB. 25 2014 12:33 PM
It all started with a hat.
Several months ago, one of my anonymous Pixar Theory Interns (that’s a thing on a resume) came to me with a crazy proposition: Andy’s mom is Emily, Jessie’s previous owner.
I laughed. I then agreed.
For some time, I compiled all of the evidence and found some incredible support for this theory. For one thing, take a close look at Andy’s cowboy hat he frequently wears in the movies:
Here’s another close look:
As you can see, Andy’s hat is noticeably different from Woody’s. Why is this? Why wouldn’t Andy want to wear a hat that closely resembles the one worn by his favorite toy?
It’s no secret that Andy has a close connection with Woody. In Toy Story 2, his mom (who we only know as Ms. Davis) mentions that Woody is an old family toy.
Remember that Woody doesn’t even recall that he is a collector’s item – a toy made in the 1950s. This is a deviation from other toys who know full well where they come from. It’s possible that Woody doesn’t know because he’s been in Andy’s family for a long time, possibly belonging to his father.
But we need more evidence. Take a close look at Jessie’s hat:
Ah, this hat looks familiar. It’s the same red hat with white lace that Andy wears. The only difference is that Jessie’s hat has a white lace around the center. But look at Andy’s hat again.
There’s a faded mark where the white lace should be. Why do you think that is? And what does Jessie have to do with this?
(Bob Saget’s voice) Kids, you remember the story of Jessie. Her owner Emily grew up with her, much the same way as Andy. She was incredibly loved, but Emily eventually gave her away when she grew older. Jessie ended up in storage for a long time, as confirmed by her in the movie when she has a literal panic attack over having to go back.
Now, take a close look at what’s on this bed in Emily’s room:
That is a hat that looks extremely similar to, you guessed it, Andy’s. The room is also pretty old-fashioned, leaving room for this to take place years before Andy was born.
In fact, you can clearly tell that this isn’t modern day with shots like these:
The only difference between the hat that Emily wears throughout this sequence and Andy’s hat is an extra white lace around the center, which is visibly missing from Andy’s hat. Otherwise, the hats are identical.
Also, in the donation box that Emily puts Jessie in, we don’t see the hat. We do see other remnants of her connection with Jessie, but the hat is noticeably absent. The box isn’t even big enough to hold it. So Emily held onto that hat…and maybe passed it on to her child, who would grow to also love a cowboy doll.
We never get a closeup of Emily’s face, but we do see that she has light, auburn hair as a teenager. Also, it is very short.
Compared to:
The middle picture is closest to the strawberry blonde color we see when Emily is young. It’s perfectly reasonable to assume that her hair lightened as she aged, which is clearly the case in these photos (or she could have dyed it).
Here’s what we know for sure:
We don’t know the first name of Andy’s mom. We don’t know Emily’s last name. We know that Andy’s hat and Emily’s hat are the same. We know that Emily is old enough to be Andy’s mom. We definitely know that Pixar is perfectly capable of sneaking this in without being overt about it.
You may be wondering how the two characters could be the same if Emily was willing to give Jessie up so easily, while Andy was far more hesitant.
Actually, the scenarios are quite similar. Andy forgot about Woody as he grew up too, despite their strong connection. Andy even gave Woody away, albeit in a different manner than Emily.
In the end, it makes perfect sense that these two concurrent stories are so similar because they’re related by blood. It’s also a freak of destiny that Jessie would one day belong to her owner’s son, though we never get to see the mom’s reaction to seeing Jessie again.
She was probably indifferent and believed it to be a different version of the same toy. How would you respond if you saw your child with a toy that looked like one that you had as a kid? Your first assumption probably wouldn’t be that they’re the exact same toy.
What do you think? Do you believe that the two characters are the same and that Andy’s mom/Emily found redemption through the love her son had for the toy she left behind?
