THE MYSTERY OF THE STOLEN FOOTAGE -- SOLVED!
A while back it was noted that the trailer for the US remake of PULSE steals a shot from the Japanese version of PULSE and since this is very strange it caused much puzzlement in these quarters.
Well, The Reeler has wrapped everything up and put a bow on it for us. Apparently, Dimension asked Magnolia's permission to swipe the shot. And Magnolia granted it.
More details and quotes, complete with snarky commentary, here.

I saw this yesterday and have to agree with the plethora of linked reviews that APAHARAN is: ambitious, dark, well acted, exceptionally scored and has paid a great attention to detail. I also agree that the story slows too much in the second half, the plot becomes a bit overcomplicated and that Ajay’s character is not drawn deep enough for the audience to become fully sympathetic. However I disagree with the upperstall.com review that Bipasha Basu’s role was unnecessary – to me their relationship was the symbol of what Ajay could not attain and being periodically reminded of his tragic loss brought us back to an understanding of his circumstances and motives. This also ties in to the item number and ensuing scenes with the item girl which were obviously inserted to placate either the producers or the masses or both but it appeared to me that writer/director Prakash Jha really worked at making these scenes relevant and tied to Ajay’s loss of an authentic life.
I almost doubt that next week’s EK AJNABEE will be this good but I do have high hopes for NEAL AND NIKKI!!
