I nearly died.


Yeah, as the name suggests, I nearly died whilst watching this film.
I kept having to turn it on and off because the suspense was making my body hurt.

It's too good.
Then again, I think i get too emotionally involved with films...

OMG you guys, it wasn ALL THTA not like they weren't gonna end up together, lol

reply

Yeah well.


So what?

Even if I'd seen the film before I'd still have been punching my pillow.

But the sad thing is, that flawed, stupid test of fate kept them eight years apart from one another. That is time they can never get back.

You are only scared your IQ is shrinking because you did not have much to begin with ...

Not everything has to be smart, challenging or deep. Sometimes just fun is enjoyment enough.

The first time I saw this movie my heart was pounding when he opened his wedding present up and found the book! That was the most thrilling part for me I think... and 23(the number they picked on the elevator) is my parent's anniversary date and they always have good luck with that number aint that weird? I'm glad I found others who enjoyed this movie as much as I did, I made my friend see it she didn't like it too much =-/

Yeah...I forgot about the 'ridiculously intelligent, romantic comedy genre' that actually increases your IQ while watching it.

Name me some intelligent romantic comedies then, smartass. And if you want to be smarter, stop watching movies and read a book.

I know exactly how you feel: I nearly died watching this because it was so goddamn annoying. Seriously, this movie is an insult to my intelligence. I had to turn it off because I could just feel my IQ shrinking away with every stupid 'plot twist' they came up with.




I was responding to this guy. What gave you the impression that I hate films?

Hmm. Well I didn't nearly die, and my body didn't hurt, but for me this one of the most annoying frustrating films I've ever sat through. And I am a true-blue John Cusack fan. I've never cussed at a television set so much in my life.
You know a movie is bad when it forces you to sound worse than an angry sailor with Touret's Syndrome, and it's directed towards an inanimate object.

your body hurting does not equal death, you really need to get that checked out, and also maybe a mental check up and look up the word death/die.

Nothing like a literalist lost in metaphorland.

i watched it for the first time yesterday, and i got SO frustrated! i was like...SHE'S IN THE CAB!!!

I'd give her a HA! And a HI-YA! And then a OUU-WA! And then I'd kick her, sir.

i had a girl a few years ago where there were all these weird concidences, and our lives pulled us away, it was bad timing...but i've never gotten her out of my head. we watched everye episode of sex in the city together, which i would never have done with out her, and i always think of her when i see that show, and i can never watch the show for very long. anyway i saw this movie tonight and the whole time i was thinking of her, and what i didnt notice til i read the trivia section of this movie is they say john corbett and briget moynihan were also the sig others of carrie and big on sex in the city and i knew corbett was aidan but i forgot about moynihan and i just stared at the screen for a few seconds, like "what are you waiting for you gotta call that girl!" so i'm gonna. i feel like i sound like an idiot when i read this, but didnt piven say something like a wise man said you gotta not be afraid to look like an idiot and a fool, or something along those lines? i've always been a hopeless romatic myself, i mean i'm a guy and i watched this film and i'm a huge cusack fan- actually, i saw the last ten minutes and something stirred in me and they replayed it right there so i spent 2 hours watching the whole thing again because i wanted to see how the parts fit together. ay-yai-yai. so i'm gonna call her.


as a very tired talking monkey once said, "pray for mojo."

reply

I know your post is a little bit old but as a fan of the film im wondering how that all turned out for you?



I got my twin glock .40's, cocked back
Me and my homies, so drop that

reply

thanks for asking. i didnt call her. but here i am rereading the post and in the scheme of things, a couple more months havent mattered, and i couldnt have called her in the interim (too long to get into). but i AM gonna call her. yes i am, dammit!
check back in by next summer and i'll have an answer. pathetic, i know, but bear with me here.

reply

Thats funny I came on here to see if someone was going through the situation you described above like I myself am. I keep teetering on whether or not to call this person and I also like you gave myself through the summer to go through with it. We can be pathetic together....lol.

reply

OK, so here I am searching this "Serendipity" film on IMDB, but with a reason. I met a girl when I was skiing, and just talked and talken but there was a feeling that both of was was wanting more. Unfortunately nothing more happened, we just said goodbye and that's it. She was gone. Now I'm afraid I'm never gonna see her again, and I just can't stop thinking about her.
If I was in your position, with her number at my disposal, I would call. NOW!

reply

Hey man, Summers nearly gone, and whilst looking through my message board history I thought id holla at ya and see whats happnin




I had a go on the old "Crazy Golf" the other day, not quite the mayhem I was expecting...

reply

I know, it drove me crazy! I was so scared they wouldn't end up together. Thankfully, they did lol.

reply

It wasn't destiny that brought them together.It was the screenplay.LOL

reply

Dude, I've seen the movie at least 20 times and I still go tense and get anxious during certain scenes, specifically the elevator scene and the scene where Jonathan just misses Sara as she's leaving Serendipity with Eve.

Yeah...well, that's just like your opinion, man.
