Okay, I guess I won't drag it out...

In the first scene, in the close-up shots of Lefty (the mad scientist), there is a Blue Sun sign, turned sideways, on the wall behind him.

"Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."

I saw that right away. Even when it was far off in the background. Then of course, I completely missed the blue gloves...

Awesome movie. Where did you film the outdoor scenes? Some of it looked familiar.

We filmed it here in my home town of Farmington, NM (well, the rock maze was in Aztec, the next town over, where I teach).

The lab set in the first scene is the garage our production was based out of (we are very much the production company equivalent of a garage-band). The garden was our costumer's mother's back yard. The park with the granite sphere is a local war memorial. The rock maze is a sacred place for our local Wiccans (used with permission and treated with respect by the crew).

The fun part was, aside from the garage (which was shot very last), I had never even seen any of the locations before we started shooting.

"I think I saw that in a video game..."

Please tell me that's a reference to the old video game Minotaur by Bungie (now famous as the creators of Halo)!

Now I see the sign. There were so many labyrinths and I was looking at those to see if the logo was in it...the circular designs had me going.

Good job!!

Sorry. Can't say I've heard of the game. It just seemed like a good way to make him seem sufficiently un-educated (for never having heard of the Maze and the Minotaur myths).

Since the voting closes in a few days, I thought I'd give this a wee bit of a self-serving bump.

So, uh.... "bump".
