wait, what?Random argument man said:
oh shit, sorry. I meant the movie, Synechdoche New York. Just relating that it's another movie that, no matter how many times you
Thank god I sat through the fake opening video to see the Joker driving the Batmobile, because I almost kicked the Xbox to the floor. Of course, once I realized what they were doing, I deemed it the GREATEST THING EVER.elitepie931 said:
I seriously don't think there's anything to "get" with this piece of over-rated ploop. 10 minutes in I realized what they were TRYING to do, but FAILING to do, because the script was horrible. I predicted the ending by the half-way point, and only finished it because I wanted to make sure I was right. Which I was.Samurai Goomba said:
Fight Club and Memento were what this movie was trying to be, and wasn't. They did it right, and The Machinist didn't. Christian Bale's performance was the only reason to watch this thing, and even so, I felt bad for him. Like, dude, why are you working so damn hard and almost killing yourself for THIS movie?

It has all of them, but the site's occasionally prone to failure on epic scales. They always fix it though, eventually...
Eh, okay then. I thought it was a very interesting movie stylistically. The aesthetic reminded me of David Fincher's work, and Bale's performance was uncharacteristically good (for him). But I can definitely see where you are coming from. You're probably right about the film, I just want to like it so much. I've seen Fight Club, The Game, Panic Room, Se7en... All these sorts of movies (usually several times), so I guess if there was something important to take out of The Machinist, I'd probably have found it by now.TheBluesader said:

OOOOOOOooooo. I thought it was some term or something.....Well, this is awkward..
the entire concept behind Super Mario Brothers. I mean, it's a game about an Italian plumber and his brother [if you played on multi-player] trying to rescue a Princess [Who I may add has little to no prior relationship with either brother] from a giant, spiked turtle in a land with more bottomless pits and random bits of pipe than toilets. Furthermore, you fight against waves of turtles of all sorts of shapes, sizes and flavors and, are powered up by magical mushrooms and, flowers. On the flip-side though, there are evil mushrooms and evil flowers that are bad. Speaking of the turtles, flowers and, mushrooms: the bad ones can instantly kill you by touching your hand. Of course you are able to kill most of them by jumping on them. Others are more easily dispatched by throwing fire at them.
Now since it is a universal fact that everybody loves mushrooms, let me add that there is a third type of mushroom and this is the 'non-evil-and-yet-non-edible' type who talks to you from time to time. These mushroom people don't really care about the fact that you're eating mushrooms as though you're at an elven buffet and they also don't care that you're crushing others.
The point of this game, again, is to traverse a harsh environment, picking up spare change for no true purpose, in order to save somebody who wouldn't give you the time of day normally. How on Earth did this idea get the OK!?

well it was conceived in the 1980's so, I assume cocaine was involved

When I realized that:
Boba Fett is a Jango Fett clone.
The Clone Troopers are Jango Fett Clones.
Stormtroopers are clone troopers.
Ergo: When we see stormtroopers running around in the original Star Wars trilogy, that's actually Boba Fett! Or at least identical copies of Boba Fett.

or you could just add a spoiler tag and not be a tool about it.TheBluesader said:
that's not the case. The original clone army got the empire into power, but the clones had obsolescence built into them.. they aged quicker then regular humans did. By the time of the original trilogy, being a Stormtrooper was a volunteer based military system, similar to the US's military system. In the novelizations, Luke Skywalker was actually intending to enlist before the events of the movie (ie, the killing of his uncle).Queen Michael said:
I doubt there were many actual of Jango Fett in the imperial army by the time the original trilogy rolled around.
Mindfuck averted.
When I realized that I will die. And everyone I know and love will die. It didn't really hit me til someone I knew killed themselves. Hit harder because they were young, and it seems that it shouldn't happen that early in life, but it gets you thinking about how fragile and short life is. I think that's the end of childhood, or adolescence, when you realize that everyone you know will end up as dirt in the ground. The ultimate mindfuck.
