Agreed. How are you supposed to look past a big dong, general man-stink, and absence of all the female anatomy and qualities that attract a man?
Also, how ‘true’ is this love when Dil is living a deception?
I also saw nothing sexual between Fergus and Jody. Jody showed signs of homosexuality commenting on Fergus’ good looks and revelling in the awkwardness of the aided pissing scene.
The ending is strange because Dil is visiting Fergus in prison every day and seems madly in love, but it’s not clear that Fergus is totally onboard and ready to chug dick forever when he gets out. Perhaps prison will change that.
He adds to the ruse of Dil being a woman - an abusive lover who calls her ‘bitch’ and ‘cunt’, and from whom Fergus can save Dil, further entrenching the stereotype of the helpless female.
Dave also acts a red herring - they assume he’s driving the mysterious car that follows and nearly hits them, when actually Fergus’ IRA pals are back.
But yeah, he’s mainly there to cement the sausage twist.
I’m sure he wasn’t. After the revelation he was basically pushing ‘her’ away but still has residual feelings for ‘her’ from when he thought he was female, plus lots of guilt and wanting to be protective over ‘her’.
The most confusing was the ending. She’s constantly visiting him in prison, clearly still in love with him, and counting the days until his release, but what’s going to happen once he’s out? Is he going to start noshing Dil’s pickle after all??
Dil…do.
<blockquote>There are tons of these bad examples throughout film, the worst being Jacob's Ladder and Shutter Island. </blockquote>
Those are two great films with fantastic twists.
I suggest you develop an understanding of film and get some taste, or give up.
The endless videos of unprovoked black violence, coupled with the fact that they are 13% of the population yet cause 50% of the nation’s violent crime, is making people lose patience with this group.
Scott Adams dared to utter something that many are thinking but have been bullied into silence around.
This is correct.

Yes. Even though the OP is long gone I can still rejuvenate the discussion and people like yourself will come and engage with it.
It’s weird that the OP assumes Usual Suspects was ‘just written’ when it has a very deliberate twist ending and there are clues to it throughout, making the film plenty rewatchable.
I will however admit that it is a rare case of a twist not enhancing the main narrative, but crapping on it, and I haven’t decided whether that was deliberate or an act of incompetence by the filmmakers.
I haven’t assumed anything. I’ve asked the OP, who has made that assumption, why he thinks so 🤷♂️
I didn’t find it ‘boring’ but I will say that you’re thrown a lot of semi-complex procedural dialogue about a character you’ve never seen early on with all the cop-talk about Verbal’s lawyer, when I first saw it I was like ‘what, now?’ Keaton’s predicament also took some effort to understand before we even get a chance to care about the guy. No ‘save the cat’ here, no ‘show don’t tell’ so we can get a handle on this truck full of guns.
And yes, the characters are all ‘cool’ thugs, so while it’s quite amusing seeing them interact there is little in the way of emotional connection with them. I don’t really care who dies out of this bunch of selfish, ruthless assholes.
Once they meet their match with Kobayashi and they (and Edie) become vulnerable, and Fenster has been whacked, I’ve got a bit more sympathy with them, so when they start getting iced one by one at the end I’m like ‘Ah shit I liked that prick’.
As I’ve gotten older I’ve come to appreciate it more. It feels like those old Noires where the anti-hero is a cold, quippy bastard in a world of bigger bastards.
What makes you think The Usual Suspects was ‘just written’ with no structure..?
Diane Keaton is fine. Just fine.
Verbal never says ‘I AM Keyser!’
He can just about be heard saying ‘I killed Keaton’ while Kujan is yelling at him.
Pretty funny and childish of him when you think about it 🤣
Nobody should get cancelled.
Adams has always been about helping blacks, but this pole which revealed a startling hatred of whites by a majority of blacks, drove a stake through the heart of his lifelong compassion for them.
The constant videos of real life violence by blacks against whites and other groups also made him review his position, as did the constant false accusations of him as a ‘racist’ while he was trying to help.
White people are human too, there’s only so much bullying and abuse they will take before they push back.
Not that he’s advocating violence, just that whites stop fruitlessly trying to help blacks, and keep a safe distance from them.
It’s a sad state of affairs but can you blame the guy?
Try to stay on topic.
So would James Cameron, they met on Titanic and have been married for decades.
It’s not really M Night’s fault if people copy his shit, plus big twist movies like Usual Suspects and Scream came out before Sixth Sense.
‘argumentized’ 🤣
<blockquote>No, the twist is actually that Verbal is the gunman on the boat.</blockquote>
No, the twist is that Verbal is Soze, you’re in a tiny minority if you think otherwise.
Yes the story is mostly invented by Verbal but aspects of it correspond to reality, such as Soze being a fearsome legend. Plus, the opening scene is real, in which Keaton wears a look of recognition, realisation and resignation as he calls the gunman ‘Keyser’.
Soze’s origins also correspond to reality, outside of Verbal’s story characters speculate that he is Turkish or Hungarian and maybe has a German father, he’s clearly more feared in Europe but the FBI guy knows about him.
I’m only aware of one of them, Al Capone, and he’s not exactly the Adolf Hitler of the organised crime world.
I don’t know why you’re talking about movies not being reality but in case my point about Soze’s accent escaped you it was that a Turkish person faking an American accent is not going to sound flawless. Hell, most professional actors for whom English is a second language find it impossible to credibly sound 100% American, no way is this thug going to have mastered it.
