That was the only one that I remembered. Come to think of it, in the movies about the apocalypse, aren't there eclipses also (the one with Demi Moore, where she dies at the end, didn't that happen during an eclypse? The Seventh Sign?) And in The Exorcist, isn't there an eclypse somewhere? What about The Ten Commandments, during the plagues? And the movies about Christ, doesn't he dies during an eclypse (once again, Mel Gibson and The Passion of the Christ)?<br /><br />Sorry, I know I am rambling.Pedrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945607431696039228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-84348893193792621582009-07-21T12:13:29.735-04:002009-07-21T12:13:29.735-04:00There was a dramatic solar eclipse in Apocalypto.....There was a dramatic solar eclipse in Apocalypto...Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-78507047819983682352009-07-21T12:06:15.364-04:002009-07-21T12:06:15.364-04:00Kubrick peppered 2001 with eclipses, apparently th...Kubrick peppered 2001 with eclipses, apparently they somehow trigger the mysterious monoliths.vernininohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743454074504116461noreply@blogger.com
