Ugh, just thinking back to when they first announced the remake of The Story of Two Sisters... honestly, what a disaster. Let me tell you about this one. At least they’re making promises..
Andrew Diaz7 said:Everyone is entitled to their own opinion—and certainly the right to share it—but refusing to watch the film seems like a massive missed opportunity to me...🙄 Especially since you claim to have played the game, yet you insist the stories are shallow? You played Max Payne??? In that case, please, do enlighten me again regarding that "shallow" narrative...😠
I don't think Max Payne serves as a legitimate example of deep or high-quality storytelling. Don't get me wrong—it's an excellent game—but the plot is essentially just a pale imitation of 1940s and 50s noir films. In my view, it wouldn't even work as a standalone movie without significant structural changes.
When you refer to a "twist" in New York City, what exactly are you implying?
By twist, I mean the specific moment where the film effectively "tricked" me—I was anticipating one type of resolution, but the actual conclusion (flipping through the album) caught me completely off guard.
I honestly can't say I saw that ending coming. I wasn't bracing myself for a massive twist like that, which is probably why it hit me so hard.
@goldenhound32/">@@goldenhound32 (regarding that other thread) — look, I know you didn't actually use the word "animal," and I clearly wasn't reading your post closely enough before I rushed into writing my previous response 😳 — my apologies.
The other day on the bus, the driver decided to blast an Elvis Presley tape. What used to sound great about fifteen years ago now sounds more like someone revving a chainsaw right against your skull—only the chainsaw would probably finish the job faster 😳
The movie was clearly made for fans of Tenacious D, and as such, it didn't exactly land well with a general audience. One friend of mine absolutely loved it, while another thought it was just plain stupid. (Go ahead and guess which one is actually a fan.)
I find Tenacious D to be charming enough, but that's about the extent of my interest, so I think I'll hold off on watching the film for the time being. 🙂
Brian Foster2 said:I mean, let’s be honest—the first one was pretty nonsensical too. You had all that rage and those super-powered zombies? Total trash... but honestly, isn't that exactly what makes the movie so much fun?
In what specific way is "28 Days Later" trash? I am asking politely: please explain. In detail.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. stands as a solid effort. Looking across their broader discography, I find myself gravitating toward specific tracks like "Drive," "Wish You Were Here," "Megalomaniac," and "Love Hurts." They aren't necessarily groundbreaking masterpieces, but they remain consistently listenable.
Fine then, go ahead and watch the American version that cuts out that final scene with the blonde; we’ll be over here watching Descent the way it was actually meant to be seen.☕ 😬
Casey Rogers4 said:This movie couldn't possibly be any more of a dumpster fire than it already is. I actually listened to some decent reviews and decided to give it a shot, hoping it might at least help me decompress—not that I’ll ever find a horror flick that genuinely terrifies me—but instead, I got a bunch of mutants chasing people around for ninety minutes. Aside from a few heavy-handed messages thrown in here and there, the entire plot is basically just a race to see who can kill whom first. I was honestly ready to turn it off during that scene involving the assault on a woman; I truly don't understand why that was even necessary for this story.
Like my friend puts it—this is a movie strictly for the clinically insane or anyone feeling that way. (I'm not trying to offend anyone, but that was our collective takeaway.)
Try reading between the lines here. You can interpret this film as a political allegory—it isn't particularly subtle, especially considering that scene involving the American flag—rather than viewing it purely as mindless gore. Personally, I found the viewing experience quite enjoyable. Does that make me mentally ill?
They’re just too repetitive, and honestly, their songs all start sounding like the exact same track. I can wrap my head around the debut album, but those next two... (it's wild to think I was actually listening to them just a few years ago 😲 )
