Miscellaneous movie thread

[Spiff]

That's from the bloke who did Kung Fu Hustle, yeah? Top movie, that. Still ain't seen Shaolin Soccer.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

It is.

Watched 'Stay' the other night. Not bad, but not as awesome as the trailer made out. Worth my time though.

Speaking of Ewan McGregor, I watched 'The Island' last week as well. That was far better than I expected, and better than the trailer indicated. Great stuff.

I watched The Butterfly Effect the other night. I liked it!

I watched The Butterfly Effect the other night. I liked it!

Which ending did you see? The original cinematic ending is the best.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I saw the DVD ending which I really liked. It was grim. I was told what happened in the cinema ending at the time, and thought it didn't sound as good.

 

[Goreripper]

The DVD ending is the original cinematic ending. The cinema ending for actual release was changed, because audiences felt it was too bleak. Stupid mainstream Hollywood audiences. The whole fucking film was bleak. Why shouldn't the ending be any different?

 

[Keeper of the Seven Cheese]

I think that original ending was a bit bleak, yet still great. The cheesy happy one was good too.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Ahh I see. Well yes, the grim ending was great. Awesome film. I don't buy too many films on DVD, but this is one I want.

 

[The Amazer]

I love The Butterfly Effect so much... I've only seen the grim ending as well.

The score for that movie kicks much ass

 

[Goreripper]

I only watched the bad ending on purpose. Happy endings are gay, especially for a film like that.

 

[Southy]

I have never sat down and watched the proper end of The Butterfly Effect, mainly because I have only seen the movie once, and that was at the cinema

 

[Winmar]

**************** SPOILER ALERT ****************

















In the one I saw he ended up never being born at all, and everything turned out ok. Is that the proper, grim one? I thought it was good.

In the bonus features were a couple of other endings, where he passed the chick in the street. They were gay endings. Was one of them seriously what they showed at the cinema?

 

[Goreripper]

Yeah that's the proper ending. And there's a part in the film where it suggests that it's not the first (or even the second) time it's happened. That's what makes it even grimmer.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah, I believe they mention his mother having had heaps of miscarriage and such before he was born, and he was the 'lucky' one, which implies that it has happened many times.

 

[Goreripper]

Three, actually.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Ahh. I haven't seen it in yonks so I wasn't sure.

I have wanted to see it again for a while, this thread has made me want to go out and buy it now.

 

[Southy]

me too actually

 

[Winmar]

It was a cool ending; I'm glad I watched it on DVD, not at the cinema! Not that I ever really go to the cinema these days anyway.
