Im Thinking Of Ending Things.
I hate to agree with VinylGuy, but yeah, it was very pretentious and overstuffed. Long, too. I was checking my watch after the parent's house.
I guess I liked it. mostly. Especially the first half. It nosedives after that. Good material but not sure the execution ever quite lives up to it. Good stuff here and there, though.
Lol at Robert Zemeckis.

I hate to agree with Burt but yeah, after they leave the parents house is where it goes downhill fast: loses all the weird tension and becomes really tedious

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Im in the middle of it.tragabigzanda wrote:Strat give me the elevator pitch on this movie, and whether or not it is any good
There are some different elements. This movie isn't going to stick with me beyond my time spent with it but honestly I think Kevin Bacon is such a good actor that I just enjoy watching him.
Ill let you know after completion.

yea. And i love her.tragabigzanda wrote:Oh is this that one where he’s married to a 14-year-old?
I have a hard time watching movies when its just me at home. I rather watch a movie with someone so i can really become engaged. Lights off, phones down, no distractions.
Otherwise its on in the background and while im paying attention...its not the same.
So, here I am.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I'll be damned. A premise that we have seen with countless movies over the years and an ending that didn't bore me out of my mind.
I actually liked this. It wasn't some haunted house horror movie. this felt more like a small indie film with character explorations.
"you cant unrun your shadow" is basically the premise of the movie.
I liked it.

The reason of the nosedive is that the book is building something Kaufman dont. And at the end is just pure ego trip.
