No, Doc's right. The ending was so flagrantly false and attention getting. Spoiler The kid dying was unnecessary. It added nothing. Not every story should end with a punctuation mark, let alone an exclamation point.
Gump & Shawshank, (Anyone want to start a redneck law firm) were perfectly, neatly packaged films that let everyone know exactly what they were supposed to think and feel at every point of the movie. To be honest, I'd probably hate them less if they weren't considered to be grander than they actually are.
It was based on a very good graphic novel. to a tee as well. how was it "fascist"? great movie BTW..highly entertaining and if you ever saw the graphic novel, you would get the "art".
Anything directed by M. Night Shamalamaoverrated. Funny thing in this thread is, it seems like alot of people are hating on movies most people like. Seems like a bad case of "Too Cool For The Roomitis".
Can you explain how Shawshank let everyone know what to feel at every point? If you tell me you knew about Spoiler how he uses the posters to dig the tunnel and the rest of his scheme, then your a genius bc I don't think anyone had all of that figured out before they saw it.
The story in 2 was definitely not as compelling as the first one. The special effects were good enough to distract from that shortcoming however.
Signs was OK. The Sixth Sense was good and I enjoyed Unbreakable. The rest of his stuff was mediocre at best.
I thought Unbreakable was alright, but I hated the ending. Sam Jackson is so happy to know he's a villan that he has no problem going straight to jail? what?
because you were at my house for movie night? mexicans work at kfc, blacks work at taco bell. stoopid.
I gotta catch it again, it's been a couple years, there was reefer involved the night I watched it, my memory of the ending is hazy.
I do not mean this as an insult, but if that's what you think I meant, then I do not have the ability to explain properly what I mean. Because what I've already said about it is the only way I know how to describe it.
I duno man it sounds like you hate a movie just bc a lot of people think highly of it and that's it. I thought the dialogue and the sequence of events in Shawshank was perfect.
Signs was f'ing HORRIBLE. One - why would a race of beings that water was like acid for come to a planet that's friggin 90% WATER? Two - He traps the alien in the pantry of the house....WHY doesn't he call the authorities? Why does he go home instead? Three - Watch this one closely...when they're barricading themselves in the room and nailing boards to the door frame, Joaquin "I Whisper All My Lines" Phoenix PULLS the door shut towards him, then they nail the boards to the frame. The alien could have opened the door and stood there watching them nail the boards on the frame like in a Bugs F'ing Bunny cartoon. Absolutely horrendous movie making.
First off, it's only 70% water. Second, the Alien was contained, why complicate things with the cops? Third, I didn't notice that, man I gotta watch a movie sober one day.
1. They may not know what water is so you would have to assume they never came into contact with it and when they landed it was a "scout mission" like the little kid suggests. 2. They establish that its a small *** town with very few cops. They dont have cell phones, etc. You could also say that he wanted to get home to make sure his family was OK and didnt even think to call the cops. 3. That was just plain stupid. I like Phoenix as an actor but I duno how nobody caught that.
How about you figure out what finascious was saying before you call into question my sexuality sweetheart. BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Hmm. So because I don't like a movie you do, I'm an elitist prick? Nice. Try it this way. I found it to be the McDonald's of prison movies when I was expecting Fuddrucker's. Now maybe you're the type of person that judges a movie's greatness by box office receipts or if its been deemed cool, if so, that's great for you. Its just unfair to brand me the way you did.
Don't get emotional honey. People tend to call one's sexuality into question when one throws around carebear posters.
You said you "honestly wouldn't hate those movies if they weren't considered to be grander than they are." Thats sure what that statement sounded like to me but maybe it wasn't your intention. I didn't just make up that assumption with no facts.
I think its funny that you would try to call people out for not liking particular movies, then list these relatively small gaffes for reasons to HATE Signs. Every movie has gaffes. Every boxing scene in any Rocky movie, is as far from realistic as you can get for example. Yet, if I say I hated Rocky (I didn't) I'd be accused of believing I'm too cool for the room. Not fair.
haha "honeybear". lol you win, I don't have the hilarious homosexual slang to make this competitive anymore.
Ok. I wouldn't have but them near the top of my most hated list, but I still didn't like them. You make it sound like I'm some snobby art idiot who waits for everyone else to make an opinion, before they make their own. I genuinely disliked those movies when I first watched them. Everyone trying to cram how good this movie was down my throat took my hate to a new level. Kind of like the way Jets fans make me hate the Jets more than I should. Make sense?
If you didnt like them then just say that. When you said you didn't like them because others thought they were good is what makes other assumptions come up. Not really comparative to sports rivalries but whatever.
