Yes, because this promotes such a great lifestyle as is.

No scarfs either, and the clothing is often not color coordinated.

Because there's not enough people in clown makeup giving long on the nose monologues about there life philosophy.

Because there's not enough long exposition about nonsensical science fiction dream devices.

Or I guess you could combine those into because Nolan didn't make it.




P.S. I like Nolan's other films but hate those two. Blows my mind why those are so highly thought of.

You're an idiot. And besides, what does Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight, or Inception have to do with the OP's original question? You can't form sentences, and obviously you can't read either.

OMG WTF yes! This would be so much better if Michael Bay directed it! He could have even add some space turtles in there!

reply

not enough money was spent on the production

reply

1. No gay cowboys
2. No actors playing semi retarded characters

reply

All the characters are retarded in this film. No one has the balls to stand up and be different.

The hero doesn't get the girl in the end. There's no scene with hero & girl, both dressed in designer swimsuits, basking in the sun on an exclusive Rio resort.

I agree I didn't really like it, it started well but I remember the ending being silly, and the movie just felt quite wimpy, no likable characters.
