Any hits? you're thinking of The One, starring Jet Li it was A Bad Movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 It's been a long time since I watched it, but I remember it being A Gloriously Bad Movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYT, and it's an important one. —Alorael, who is willing to have undergone some pretty substantial suffering if it means he doesn't have to undergo it.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Myself as well: one or both sets of grandparents wouldn't have emigrated from postwar Netherlands, and thus my parents wouldn't have met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 That depends upon the Time Traveler's Paradox where your actions alter your own timeline or create an alternate universe. Starlog analyzed this using Back to the Future as an example. Marty McFly travels back in time and drives into a tree outside a future real estate development thus changing history. But the Marty McFly from that universe was a better driver so when he goes back in time he doesn't hit the tree and so that doesn't change in the first universe. The rest consists of how events play out in both universes to avoid causing a paradox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You're all missing the obvious. Future Dintiradan would have already gone through the fight, so he will know exactly what the Future Dintiradan's own Future Dintiradan will have done to earn Future Dintiradan's trust. Future Dintiradan will then repeat the process on our Dintiradan, who will someday repeat it on Past Dintiradan, who will then someday repeat it on Past Dintiradan's own Past Dintiradan. Repeat ad infititum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
