- Van calls the film horror: repeated deaths, mistaken removal and loss of memory could be torture by a devil rather than benevolent heaven. Another voice argues the lovers’ souls remain connected; Van doubts it. — Van Lathan
- A new spontaneous take casts Joe as selfishly using bodies for one game; objections note he was taken early and his hosts would die. The selection montage is compared with Final Destination as hidden horror.
- Keeping memories would be kinder but weaken the ending. Possible Jarrett family obligations complicate possession. A horror sequel imagines competing souls, a broken saxophone and the title Heaven Will Not Wait/Get My Body Back; Mr. Jordan as devil remains speculation.
- Mr. Jordan’s aphorism is said jokingly to invent Jim Rome’s contrarian take culture.
- A speaker calls Christie the most attractive British woman, with Hurley the other finalist. Mirren is an alternate; Eva Green’s assumed British identity is corrected to French. Christie remains the original choice.
