Would have been vastly improved with lightsabers or Iron Man.


I must be developing ADD. Because half-way through this film, I was really hoping for an explosion or fierce lightsaber battle between Hans and Lily. Or maybe the film was just boring and needed an editor?

 the movie certainly needed some story editing. Pretty sure lightsabers or dumb Marvel heroes wouldn't have improved it though.

Or you are just a low information movie goer.

I don't think so. I enjoy movies like "The Big Sleep", where I have to figure out what is happening. I think editing makes a huge difference.

Zombies and kung fu never hurt.

Somebody staring into space would have been a vast improvement to what we were given.

Would it have helped if some romantic, lovesick vampires came along? They're always good.

Walken and Eric Roberts would have helped.

It needed a good car chase scene. Einar would be driving a getaway car with Gerda at his side, but suddenly his Lili personality would take over and he would say something dumb like: "I'm Lili now and I can't drive! Women can't drive!". Gerda would have a gun and shoot the car behind them driven by Hans because they owe him a painting that he needs to sell at an auction for money he would use to score some absinthe.

There, now wouldn't that be a fun movie? :)

"I'm Lili now and I can't drive! Women can't drive!".


This really made me laugh. I'm a woman driver and a pretty conservative driver but I have noticed a lot of really shtty women drivers in my area of late. They cant freaking park in a spacious shopping centre parking area without getting out of their cars to check they're within the lines. Beggars belief. The soccer moms also cant negotiate something as simple as a frigging roundabout.

Oh I don't think women are bad drivers. On the contrary, one of the best drivers I've known is my mum - I've seen her park and get out of the narrowest of spots and has amazing reflexes, the only time she got into a crash was the driver's fault. I personally despise the sexist view that women are bad drivers, and unfortunately Einar in the film has a lot of stereotypical views about women (when he is in his female persona he immediately becomes weepy and whiny - a sexist view that men have about women's personalities).

Well take that up with the person who wrote the screenplay. She is a woman after all.

You're the one who keeps calling Lili 'weepy and whiny'.
