What movies are you watching?

The Endless started out okay but the ending was a mess. Not a good movie.

about to watch The Fountain...it's been a long time and i remember finding it intriguing, but can't remember how much i actually enjoyed it

I've given it several tries and it never quite satisfied me.

It's simultaneously beautiful and disappointing. Wasnt there some rumor of a much longer cut not long after it came out?

sounds familiar...it is weirdly short

The lack of an

epiphany on Justin's behalf made the ending feel forced and all the other loops and concepts left on floor (e.g. do the totem poles have the same effect as the loop borders?)

are frustrating, but I forgave those shortcomings because the narrative choices were smart enough to leave the right plot questions unresolved

Spoiler: show

Were they in a larger loop? Was their mothers death part of the camp's loop? An attempt at the creation of another loop? Was their escape from 'the camp' defeating the entity after many attempts trying to get them to leave?

and it wasnt trying to prescribe a view on

Is God a vengeful entity that is just fucking with for us own amusement or do we do this to ourselves?

Clearly I’m mistaken.

i don’t think my opinion has changed much from the last viewing...visually stunning, intriguing concept, not a miss but could be better...Weisz is great- where has she been?

didn’t realize how much Jackman’s performance in Prisoners was like this...mostly well meaning, but overbearing af...would have preferred someone else

also weird as hell to see Hector Salamanca

Me neither, but I really want to see it. I like to watch movies with people and nobody I know wants to watch it.

TIS BAD LUCK TO SPAR WITH A 'GULL

Be prepared to turn subtitles on for all the old timey dialogue. VG, from what I know of you, you will probably love it.

Cool Hand Luke

What we've got here is failure to communicate
Some men, you just can't reach
So, you get what we had here, last week
Which is the way he wants it
Well, he gets it
And I don't like it any more than you men

[lennytheweedwhacker]

that’s a good one

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.
