Yeah, the noose is almost invisible if you’ve never heard about it before. Such a great moment. I’d watched the movie a dozen times on various TVs, but it took a trip to a real theater for a midnight screening for me to see that the Dr. Copper has a very slender, gold nose ring in his face for the whole movie.

Invisible?... It's framed almost dead center.

Watched this for the first time the other day, and it was almost inexplicable why no one even mentioned it.

Felt like just a weird 80's movie thing. Like how all they do in this research base is just drink hard liquor.

I was gonna say the same thing but I didn't want to come off cocky lol. The noose is completely noticable, and not even close to invisible.

I do like the second theory the OP came up with tho.

Must be nice to see it on today’s nice big screens with high definition. In my day, we had to watch movies on 22 inches of curved glass, usually sitting at a funny angle, TEN FEET AWAY with our parents constantly telling us to get up and bring the dog in, get up and get me a Pepsi, get up and answer the phone!

You kids with your noticeable noose. HOW DARE YOU?

I watched this again just last night. We were laughing about the whole, "what is it they're even researching?" thing. And how an Antarctic research station has a bunch of guns behind glass and a flamethrower.

Typically weather research.

They only have the one revolver, likely a personal possession. The flamethrowers would have been for ice and snow clearance.
