I’m surprised yesterday’s journal entry turned up. Anyway, here’s today’s.

I’ve always wondering about this.

Here's a quote from a Q&A with Simon West I read around the time of Tomb Raider's cinema release in the U.K (it's from PSW Magazine issue 19, August 2001)

"What will Videogame fans get out of this film?

We've put coded stuff throughout the story for the gamers and any sort of sad anoraks that want to pick it apart. Nothing in the film is not thought about. Anything you read in the background or anything on a screen, everything has been worked that you can watch it five times and try and crack [the codes]. Everything has significance. There's no symbol, letter or number or anything in the film that isn't entirely worked out for a reason. It's not arbitrary. For instance, there is definitely something about the Aston Martin in the movie that people need to watch closely and work out what it is."

I’ve never found out what he was talking about. Seeing the film once was enough but I’ve always been curious if the relevant information was ‘out-there’.
