garbage.

Left the theater when Scarlet was at the diner and stared at a piece of cake on her fork for 5 minutes.
Even other audience members joined my trek out and to the bar down the street.
At least a couple glasses of scotch might make me 'feel' something. No connection to the characters, just makes for an unenjoyable film.

Yet more garbage that adds nothing of artistic note, except from maybe a cinematography standpoint.

So many more films with great artistic value.
Id suggest these for starters:

There will be blood
Bronson
The Fountain

just to name a few...

If this film was meant to make you feel like you just took 3 morphine pills, then i suppose it did the trick.

That is not fair. You can occasionally find usable things in garbage. This was more like sewage.

I figured out about 20 minutes into it that if you turn on the subtitles and fast forward, you can get the intended meaning of the film and move on to something interesting. I would suggest cutting an apple in half and watch it turn brown.

Still, there's always Transformers for you, eh? ;)

honestly i can't tell whats worse, this or transformers. And for very opposite reasons...

Come up with something better than transformers, that response is so played out.

Philistine.

Not remotely.

film could of been better, but you miss the point of the movie.

Scarlet's an Alien, she meant to be void of human emotion.

You don't say!

I would not have picked that up after watching almost TWO HOURS of getting that exact message hammered into my head by the directors "deep" vacation/hobby movies mixed with stock footage of anonymous masses of people.
...if was 12 years old.

Listen here, Mr Diggler, just because you didn't like this movie does not mean it's garbage. It means you didn't like the movie. Calling a movie garbage because it has long shots and little dialogue is ridiculous.

This movie made perfect sense to me. I truly love it. I've never been so drawn to a story like this before, it's so different. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, and that's okay. It's okay not to like movies. I actually didn't enjoy Boogie Nights, as a matter of fact. I didn't like watching some dumb fvck kid act like an idiot because of a life of excess. I really didn't get into it. I'm sure you love it and it's great to watch but I don't feel that way. And thats okay! As much as I didn't love it, I would never call Boogie Nights garbage.

Before you label something as garbage, make sure your garbage deserves that title. Garbage is stuff like Catwoman, Jaws the Revenge, and Addams Family Reunion. Im sure those movies have diehard fans, too.

Who are we to feel entitled about a movies quality? Either you like it or you don't. Simple as that.

That's what this movie needed. A little Mr. Freeze...

The final battle between him and the black woman with no vagina wearing a white woman could have been epic. He could kick things off by wandering into one of the skin removal sessions with a Hello. Sorry about the door. Is the party over? before freezing them both and then a Cool party! as he leaves. The black woman then breaks free of the ice and tries to lure Freeze into the open trunk of a car driven by the motorcycle guy in a neighboring parking lot. The deformed guy tells Mr. Freeze his wife is in the trunk, so he quickly dives in to rescue her and the trunk closes behind him and god even my Under the Freeze rewrite of this movie is frickin' boring.

You didn't waste money or time. You only wasted the opportunity to sit through this masterpiece at the theater

Thanks everyone. I usually go to the Roger Ebert site to get pithy analysis then come here for the plumbers' version. You did not disappoint.

[–] snqr96-66-853950 8 years ago
