AboutPopcorn Guy Expertise I`m pretty good in most every genre of movie, but horror and sci-fi are my best categories. I`m also pretty good on the old studio films of the 30`s - `50`s.
Experience Three walls of videos in my den, and a shelf of reference books. Also have a degree in film criticism, which helps...
Question Can you tell me the pattern of the decanter and wine glasses in "The Matrix Reloaded" scene at the restaurant with the Merovingian character? Here's a link to an image which has the glassware in front: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sf-story/images/Matrix2_Woo/24.jpg I've looked all over the web and can't seem to find either the manufacturer or the pattern.
I'm also interested in finding items from specific sets and/or costume reproductions from various movies...have searched a lot but not really getting good results.
In either case, if you don't have a direct answer, maybe you might know some ways to be more efficient/productive with my searches?
Thanks very much.
Answer Hi, William...
Well, I have to apologize and tell you I have no clue as to the pattern of the crystal in the scene you mentioned... my immediate suggestion would be to get the photo blown up as much as possible to catch as much detail as can be seen, and take the photo to someplace that does bridal registries. It may seem a bit odd, but those people can find any pattern out there. I've heard of brides that told a registry worker that they saw a pattern on a soap opera, and it was located.
Now, as to the finding of set pieces and costumes... I personally recommend a place called Startifacts. I have purchased from them before, and have absolutely no complaints. Check them out on www.startifacts.com . Also, a friend swears by a company called Screenused. Their website address is www.screenused.com . Both pride themselves on authenticity and their selection is amazing. Screenused is featuring a Harrison Ford-worn outfit from "Blade Runner" on their homepage...
Hope this helps, and please let me know how your search comes out...
