It's been out a little over a year (released Dec. 06)...if someone really was interested in watching it, then they would have caught it during its theatrical run or when it came out on DVD (which was awhile back). At what point do you say, enough is enough, if you haven't seen it yet then you run the risk of being spoiled, so tough....6 months, 12 months, 24, never? And for the record...I didn't just carelessly forget to put a spoiler tag on....I thought about it, and I felt it wasn't warranted considering how long it's been out.
there a lot of movies a lot of people haven't seen even after 2 years that i'm sure they wouldn't appreciate someone spoiling it for them. we all don't have time to watch every thing we want. i saw the movie Blood Simple yesterday for the first time. it was made in 1984. i watched it b/c of the Coen brothers. you're damn right that would piss me off if someone spoiled the movie by telling me who gets killed...especially if it's a major role. but you've seen everything you wanted to see already, so i guess that's ok to ruin it for other people. edit: i just read your edit. i thought it was spoiler worthy. your last post came off as if you didn't care so that's why i wrote the above.
I don't usually get around to seeing every movie that I want in the theater...but I do see the ones that I REALLY want to see. Other movies may seem interesting but just don't have the time or money so I wait for DVD...more often the case than not, it wouldn't bother me if somebody spoiled a part of that movie (for ex. 3:10 to Yuma...I wanted to see it, but just never got around to it...hence I didn't want to see it bad enough to put it high on my list of things to do...so if somebody revealed something to me about the movie I wouldn't mind). Then you got older movies...I have never seen the Godfather movies..never. Maybe one day I will and I'll be absolutely floored by them...in the meantime one of my friends spouts off quotes and scenes from the movie like it's second nature, and it doesn't bother in the least. Not to mentioned that it's often referenced in other films or shows. Point is he nor I should be expected to hold our tongues when talking about things that could potentially reveal spoilers about movies, games, etc that have been out for a long time. That's not to say I don't tread lightly at all...if it's something I know they are interested in and don't want to be spoiled, certainly I'm careful. I try to be mindful if I feel it's appropriate...I didn't feel it was necessary to put one there but notice I kept it vague so as not to reveal the hows and whys ...I still stand by my position....but I went back and put a spoiler anyways
- In football movies, when someone gets hit or tackled, they do 3 summersaults in the air like it was Tecmo Superbowl or something. How often do you see hits like that in real football? - The crowd(s) in football movies are ALWAYS standing and cheering, even during timeouts and huddles. Every single person in the crowd is jumping up and down and yelling for every minute of the whole 3 hour + game??
Just thought of another one....in almost every action movie, nobody seems to run out of bullets. All I ask for is a simple magazine change every now and then. But for hand guns, especially six-shooters....it's pretty easy to keep count of how many bullets you've fired....so do the math yourself and have the characters reload.
There is actually a reason for this and I saw it during the making of a sports film although I cannot remember which one. Most sports movies are filmed right before a real event or in an empty stadium altogether. There is this big firm out in Hollywood that specializes in making cardboard cutouts of people to use in situations like this and they are often called in on sports movies to help. The reason the crowd is always standing is so those cutouts can blend in.
Then, they wouldn't be able to make 10 sequels. Besides, these characters do not die. Therefore, you have to take the chopped off head and store it away somewhere...so the body can't find it. It would be almost akin to what happened at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Just put the head in a storage container and store it in an endless warehouse of storage containers so noone can ever find the right container. As soon as some idiot finds the head, then he will find the body and you can just stick the head right back on the body. Then, what...the killing machine is back. I finally got around to seeing the Halloween remake by Rob Zombie. I have to say I was thoroughly unimpressed. They left nothing to the imagination in that one. I have to stay I went to bed that night and slept like a baby. The scare factor was completely gone in that film. Part of that was probably because it was a retread of the original (at least, in the second half). Even after explaining in the first half how Michael became the way he was, the justification still wasn't really there as to how he turned out. Yes, some serial killers grew up killing animals...which then led to human killings. Thanks for wasting my time to explain that. Besides that...the biggest reason I could take away for why Michael turned out the way he did (aside from this supposedly abusive household he lived in that didn't seem so abusive) is because his sister wanted to have sex with her boyfriend instead of taking Michael trick-or-treating. How gay is that? Just the thought of that makes me want to shut down and turn the evil eyes on. lol. God I hope they don't do a sequel to that one spawning a whole new set of Halloween sequels. Yikes!
Tacked on love story. Seems to happen a lot in Bay/Bruckheimer movies. If you want to include a love story, make it part of the actual storyline, like in The Terminator.
Not a movie but still... CSI. It has become little more than a stupid combination of soft-core p*rn or hannibal-lecter-esque storylines conjoined with soap-opera worthy melodrama and a horribly overdone soundtrack. The show was always dumb, what with the vast array of totally implausible or ludicrously expensive technology they use, but at least it was entertaining. Now it's just flat-out overdone and goofy.
Some movies but alot of Law in Order I have to wonder how much Crime Scene Humor is going on just seems overly cliche at this point Rocket River
I'd like to see a modern kung-fu movie that... has some incredible fight scenes and stunts doesn't use wires doesn't use cgi doesn't have scenes that are too choppy doesn't try to be artistic or dramatic has several people attacking one man at the same time (not one at a time) Even Jackie Chan uses wires nowadays.
