Ork of Fiction posted:Neon Demon felt like it just kind of fell off the rails. Unsuccessful metaphor/symbolism, imo. Maybe I should pay closer attention. I just watched that a couple of days ago, and I have no idea what actually happened or didn't in that film. I enjoyed it for what it was though.

Genderfluent posted:I am Legend: Typical action movie ending with a lot of violence. Bad because the original ending had a thought provoking twist where the zombies were actually quite intelligent and Will Smith is basically the bad guy. Would have been a much better movie with this ending

i do NOT like BBQ posted:Agreed, that movie had a lot of potential and was only okay. babadook sucked rear end. i made the mistake of listening to the hype, so i went into it expecting a well-crafted, creepy story with a terrifying monster. instead i got an allegory about depression and addiction and the monster was a giant walking metaphor. what utter horseshit.

-Blackadder- posted:Well can you explain it? Cuz, I didn't. It's pretty much just The Lady or the Tiger, a totally unresolved question left to the viewer (did he or didn't he?) There are other possible interpretations--you could argue e.g. that the cut to black is symbolic of blindness--but the simplest and most obvious one is that it's deliberately ambiguous. Also, I think it may be a purposeful reference to the actual short story The Lady or the Tiger. It's probably the best known, most archetypal literary example of this kind of ambiguous ending and it has several details that make a nice thematic fit (the dictatorial state arbitrarily marrying people off, with the binary outcome of "get married" or "death, personified as an animal".) The difference is, The Lady or the Tiger is a very short short story with crystal clear focus and The Lobster is a meandering 2 hour movie. Even if you think the ending is theoretically a good idea, it's tacked on very poorly and doesn't provide any payoff for a lot of the movie.

DUDE. It Follows loving blew so hard I forgot it even existed until you brought it up. What a stupid, unscary movie. This is what happens when corporations pay shills to pose as normal movie goers; it's basically a new generation of snake oil salesmen cheating you out of your hard earned money by selling you a product that just plain doesn't deliver. Honestly, the last "scary" movie I saw that lived up to the hype was Cabin in the Woods and that was more of a dark comedy anyway imo. gently caress movie hype.

Xaris posted:also really lovely opinion time: No Country for Old Men. The ending was actually very good+well done and i get what they were doing, but on a personal level it was unsatisfying to me since I wanted more as I was enjoying it a lot until then I get ya. Thematically it works really well once you understand it but from a "thriller/chase movie" perspective it just killed itself dead. The problem was more they made such a drat good thriller it couldnt help but dissapoint.

Midnight Special - looked like it was gonna be good and had a great cast but was such a loving let down. So glad I saw it on a flight rather than paying to see it in the cinema.

Take Shelter with Michael Shannon -- guy starts having nightmares of a cataclysmic storm coming: is he going crazy and hallucinating, or is he having prophetic visions? This is one movie that would have been better if it had ended ambiguously. Instead, the movie ends with him and his family at the beach. He looks out at the sea and gets a look of alarm on his face, and then his previously dubious wife joins him and looks equally horrified -- cut to a shot of a massive storm with black clouds approaching. It should have ended with just the shot of his and his wife's faces, IMO. Besides getting the central question answered so simply, the CGI on the storm was kinda lame.

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:Please post your favorite 3 movies in 2016 Ok Doke. Dylan Dylan Dylan No seriously I have no idea because I didn't go to the movies much in 2016 what with having a long period of unemployment. I really liked Star Wars. I wanted to see Don't Breathe (although I suspect this is gonna be another "lovely scary movie lives up to literally nothing" sort of deal), Pete's Dragon (nostalgia) and I plan on seeing Rogue One (I'm no longer unemployed). On top of the fact I have a huge soft spot for unapologetically horrible horror movies I can laugh at (something along the lines of Big rear end Spider or Dead Snow) and don't mind spending money on such garbage.

Interstellar. Welcome back spaceman Matthew. You lived for some reason. Now turn right back around and go back to Earth 2 but you don't tell anyone for some reason? I don't know this movie has been going on for way too long already so just roll with it.

FactsAreUseless posted:Seriously, it's so loving stupid. A man getting head from his wife is not a dramatic twist, that's pretty normal in any marriage. It's not Brad's wife's head, it's a bomb. His wife is fine. That's why his partner calls for backup from the bomb squad.

Straight White Shark posted:Don't Breathe probably qualifies for this thread, but I never bothered seeing it so I couldn't say (I stopped wanting to see it after I heard about the last act.) I heard the exact same things which is why I didn't go spend money on it. Hopefully netflix puts it up at some point. It's almost like people are just getting easier and easier to impress so writers/producers are just not trying as hard. This is honestly why I prefer something like a Big rear end Spider or an Icetastrophe over a serious attempt (like Don't Breathe) because you go into it KNOWING that it's terrible and you're supposed to laugh.

Fried Watermelon posted:He goes to have sex with Anne Hatheway My confusion was specifically referring to the "don't tell anyone" part. Like he had to sneak away in the night. Pretty sure since he saved everyone and they thought he was a cool hero he could have just said "I'm gonna take off and go gently caress Anne Hathaway. See you when you get there."

Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith. I don't understand how this isn't always on the top of the list when this topic comes up. In my opinion, it had two underwhelming endings, even by my rather low expectations, that couldn't possibly have satisfied anyone in any way. It's over Anakin, I have the high ground and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It's  bad.

Episode 3 Thursday: hmmm I am scared for my wife. Friday: well this one guy said he could save her and all I have to do is murder all of my lifelong friends and allies and a classroom of small children. Sounds good.
