So I have 3 movies in my possession. Which of these 3 should I spend my midnight with?

Cries and Whispers
The Notebook
The Changeling?

I keep being told to see this! Its next on my queue!


last night i rented Howl's Moving Castle because i have the jap version and i dont have a region-free dvd player and i wanted to watch it on the big tv!

i didnt wanna watch it, but the wife asked me to watch it with her. im glad i did. hilarious. the last 20 minutes had me in stitches. im not saying anything except:

"He's in the trunk of our car."

The Changeling was a good movie for the first 1hr and 15mins then turned to absolute shit. The adopted politician who went off to replace the murdered Joseph is made out to be a villainous demon. How in the world would an orphaned six-year-old child be to blame for accepting the family that adopted him? Bah.

@ Jerry: Saw 3 is terrible compared to the first one - not that the first one is anything to write home about. Rent it and let us know what you think. I saw them in sequence and feel they go from bad to worst-movie-ever-made status.

Just finished viewing Saw 1. Absolute shit. Fuck this series.

 

[J.]

Saw 1 was good I thought. Fairly original and a great twist. The next one sucked and I have no desire to see 3

It seems people jump the gun to judge movies these days if it has anything "Hollywood" about it. Over half the "indie" movies I've seen have been worse than anything Hollywood has produced...Lost in Translation, Elephant....

 

[Reign in Acai]

Saw I took it's general plot from Se7en. They then took that plot and added so many twists that the viewer is bombarded to the point where they could care less if any of it makes sense, as long as the stimuli is coming in at full throttle.

So much shit made me cringe. First and foremost how the fuck does this Jigsaw character get around to making all these contraptions when he literally on his death bed? This is somewhat explained in part 3 with the explanation that Amanda is making the contraptions. But how the hell was he able bodied enough to do it before her turn towards "enlightenment"?

Plot hole number 2- Why the fuck does Henry Gale's character check the wife and daughter's heart rate if in fact he is not the one behind it all and simply a victim himself?

Plot Hole number 3- Why in the hell is cameraman shlub being subjected to such a dastardly game? He has done no wrong in life other than not living life to it's fullest. A crime that the majority of society is guilty of. This seems like a far-fetched reason to put him up to the test when there are many other scum bags that could fit the role. But then again the director needed to find a connection between him and Dr. Gordon. Bah fucking retardation ensues.

Plot Hole 4- Danny Glover appears outside the families house when things go awry in a matter of nano-seconds. Does he live in the duplex to the right? Lame

Plot Hole 5- Danny Glover and partner show up unannounced to Jigsaw being trapped in some contraption. How the fuck did he even know they were coming?!?!

HOLY FUCK IS THIS MOVIE STUPID!!! I can go on and on. Part 3 isn't much better, but atleast that movie's plot holes weren't this far out there!

My mother has cancer and is still able-bodied. Plot hole 1 solved.

Plot hole number 2- Why the fuck does Henry Gale's character check the wife and daughter's heart rate if in fact he is not the one behind it all and simply a victim himself?

I dont remember this part.

Plot Hole number 3- Why in the hell is cameraman shlub being subjected to such a dastardly game? He has done no wrong in life other than not living life to it's fullest.

The connection was that Jigsaw hired him to take the pictures. Jigsaw created the connection. It's a movie, we need to follow the characters and not wonder why a certain character is in it. If we did that, movies need not exist. Solved.

Plot Hole 4- Danny Glover appears outside the families house when things go awry in a matter of nano-seconds. Does he live in the duplex to the right? Lame

Actually, right across the street. Solved.

Plot Hole 5- Danny Glover and partner show up unannounced to Jigsaw being trapped in some contraption. How the fuck did he even know they were coming?!?!

I dont remember this. I remember them showing up with a random dude in a contraption, not Jigsaw. Solved.

HOLY FUCK IS THIS MOVIE STUPID!!! I can go on and on. Part 3 isn't much better, but atleast that movie's plot holes weren't this far out there!

You need to see it again. It sounds as if you went in with a prejudice.


EDIT: Seven was fucking stupid.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Your solutions sound more like excuses for bad film making. Even if everything cohesively came together, it still wouldn't have come across as coherant. Oh boy!!

 

[J.]

the movie made sense. it seems you weren't able to follow

 

[Reign in Acai]

You do know you can enjoy a meritless movie for the sole purpose of mindless self-indulgence aye?!? Why are you trying to justify the fact that you enjoyed it by giving it qualities that it did not possess?

 

[J.]

im not saying it was a classic by any means. just saying it all made sense if you watched with an unbiased eye. you sound as if you went in looking for problems.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Nay. I enjoyed part 3.

 

[dorian gray]

yeah I'm with Jerry on this one. Saw sucked. Saw 3 was mindless, gratuitous violence. The kinda shit I'm embarassed to be seen watching.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Smoking Aces is fucking brutal!

 

[Evil?]

I just got back from seeing that. I thought it was alright. Entertaining, but not the greatest.
