Wait... you didn't like Kick-Ass?! Why the f*ck not?1 That movie was amazing! I think it was more amazing since I thought it was just going to be some dumb super-hero spoof movie. Edit: Just realized you were talking to that other guy who didn't like it. FIE ON HIM! That movie was terrible. It just made me cry the whole time It was truthfully really good though.
I dunno about you, but I'm seeing it. There's just something about it's ridiculousness that makes me wanna watch it... like moths to a light.
It had the worst extra usage. There were two people stalking will. They appearred in the same clothes about 5/6 times in the movie. It's really funny.
Well, watching the trailer before seeing Inception sure didn't help me see its credibility as a film. Perhaps my mind was already in its "prepare for awesomeness" phase, so I couldn't accept it as anything even close to watchable. So, yes, I finally saw Inception, and I gotta say that I enjoyed it very much. Definitely required that the audience be paying attention in order to get the premise. Not much character development at all, but I definitely liked how incredibly varied all the dream levels were. I have only one question: was the clip at the beginning of the film a flash forward, or did Cobb come full-circle through many dream levels? Or is this as absurd a question as "What if the entire film was a dream, and that's why they didn't show the spinner topple?"
Fight Club is such a good film that despite accidentally reading what the twist was before watching it, I'd totally forgotten it by the time the film actually came to that part. I was so engrossed it'd left my mind completely.
Yup, I read about the twist on Wikipedia and I also read the book. So when I finally saw the movie, it wasnt much of a shocker. Still an amazing movie though. Also, Se7en is an awesome movie. I just had to bring that up because Brad Pitt is in both movies and the Web Redemption on Tosh.0 tonight was about Se7en
Yea Fight Club is one of my favourite movies, and one of the most faithful novel adaptation to screen I've seen. I did movie then novel, which spurred me to read more of Chuck Palahniuk work. He's pretty awesome. On a side note, about movies with twists, how many people liked Shutter Island? I thought it was mediocre at best, the twist was far too obvious imo, and just seemed cliche in my mind for a movie about that setting. Disappointing really, I was expecting more from Martin Scorsese.
I guessed the twist to Shutter Island when I first saw the preview - a few months before it came out. It was a good movie - but a renter at best. To predictable and nothing can save that (not even great camera work, and acting). I wish Scorsese would do something epic like Gangs of New York again.
So you could be asking yourself... "Where is my mind?" *giggles insanely* I love The Pixies and they played "Where is my Mind" at the end of fight club. I am so clevArrr! But anyways yeah Fight Club was an intensely amazing movie. And so is Se7en. But Shutter Island? That movie was garbage and the ending was guessable about 20 minutes in the movie. Why? He hasn't put anything good out since Good Fellas.
I don't really think a movie being obvious makes it bad. Not all of them have twists anyway, it's not an integral part of the enjoyment. Besides, once you've seen them the surprise is gone, does that suddenly kill the movie?
To be honest there is few movies I like to watch more than once. Even if it was a good movie, I have a short attention span so sitting through movies is already hard. My wife is a huge movie goer and I am not so much... so if we are watching a movie that we have seen tons of times, I usually break out the PSP or the Laptop for some gaming unless I am bound by cuddling time. lmao Thats just me though.
Yeah the twist there is pretty obvious. My friends saw it and were like "dude you have to see shutter island, there's a crazy twist at the end" and I just guessed it right there and got it right. Barely even knew anything about the movie.
Haha, I'm the exact opposite If I know and love a movie it's easy to get me to sit down and watch it, if it's a movie I don't know then I generally don't care about it. There's a chance I won't like it so unless something's convinced me I don't want to take the risk on being bored.
Don't get me wrong there are a few movies that I can sit for 24 hours straight and watch. But they are few and far between... and they are random ass movies. Like FFVII:AC, SLC Punk, Train Spotting, Grandma's Boy, Friday, Inglorious Basterds, Pitch Black, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Law Abiding Citizen and The Little Mermaid. lol I am sure I am missing more though. Just random's off the top of my head.
